Summary: | Circuits, methods, and apparatus for deskewing rising and falling edges of a clock signal. One embodiment of the present invention utilizes a delay element in a data path to adjust a data signal such that a clock signal is centered relative to the data. A further embodiment of the present invention recovers a double-data rate signal using two flip-flops, one clocked by clock rising edges, the other clocked by clock falling edges. An additional delay element is inserted in front of one or both flip-flop clock inputs. If two additional delay elements are used, they are independently adjustable such that each edge can be independently adjusted for improved data recovery. |
