Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide channel-to-channel skew control in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention. For example in accordance with an embodiment, a method of adjusting skew between first and second channels includes receiving a first channel output signal and a second channel output signal from the first and second channels, respectively; detecting a phase difference between the first channel output signal and the second channel output signal; and controlling, based on the detected phase difference, a signal delay within at least the first channel or the second channel to reduce skew between the first channel output signal and the second channel output signal.
