ABSTRACT:
A circuit and method for synchronized clocking of components such as registers. Registers are clocked by individual component clock signals having the same frequency but potentially different phases due to differing propagation delays. Separate component clock signals are received by registers are brought into phase by evaluating the phases of the component clock signals at the registers, and synchronizing the component clock signal of each register to that of the previous register in a sequence.
