Abstract:
A method system, and apparatus for adjusting skew in a circuit comprising feeding an input clock into a first push-pull source follower stage, feeding an inverse of an input clock bar into a first CMOS inverter stage, creating an output clock based on an equal contribution of the input clock of the first push-pull follower stage and the inverse of the input clock bar of the first CMOS invert stage, feeding the input clock bar into a first push-pull source follower stage, feeding an inverse of the input clock into a first CMOS inverter stage, and creating an output clock based on an equal contribution of the input clock bar of the first push-pull follower stage and the inverse of the input clock bar of the first CMOS invert stage.
