ABSTRACT:
For differential signal transmission (especially in high speed applications), intra-pair skew between paths carrying complementary portions of a differential signal can significantly affect performance. Conventional de-skew circuits employ simple filters (i.e., low-pass filters) to operate as delay elements to account for skew; however, these filters can distort the differential signal, which can also adverse affect performance. Here, an all-pass, adjustable delay element and de-skew circuit are provided to allow for compensation of skew without degrading the differential signal as conventional circuit do and, thus, having better performance characteristics.
