ABSTRACT:
The present invention is related to method and apparatus for clock shrinking that includes a detector, a controller, a switching device, and a buffer. The detector includes one or more counters and detects activation of a trigger. The trigger starts and stops the counters. The controller generates select signals based on output from the counters. The switching device receives vectors and receives the select signals from the controller and outputs the vectors in a sequence based on the select signals. The buffer receives a clock signal and the sequence of vectors and outputs one or more shrunk clock pulses in the clock signal based on the received vectors continuously while the trigger is active. A mode selects the desired shrinking pattern for the clock pulses. The shrinking delays in time or advances in time the rising edge and/or the falling edge of the clock pulses.
