Abstract

A method and apparatus for pre-clocking have been disclosed. In one case pre-clocking is used to effectively decrease the delay to output timing with respect to a clock. In another case pre-clocking is used to allow an output signal more time to reach a given level. In another case a pre-clocking adjustment may be determined while a device is in operation.
