摘要:
A method for adjusting a skew between a second clock signal and a first clock signal is provided. The second clock signal has been propagated from a first clock source through a second clock tree. The second clock tree comprises a programmable delay line that induces a delay. The method comprises at least one iteration of: measuring a skew between the second clock signal and the first clock signal, comparing an absolute difference of the measured skew and a sum of delay changes initiated in a time window preceding the measurement with a target skew, and initiating a delay change of the delay induced by the programmable delay line in the second clock tree depending on a result of the comparison.
