ABSTRACT:
The methods and circuits of the various embodiments of the present invention relate to phase shifting of a generated clock signal. According to one embodiment, a method of phase shifting a clock signal using a delay line is described. The method comprises the steps of coupling a first delay line and a second delay line in series; generating a transition edge using the first delay line; generating an opposite transition edge using the second delay line; and outputting a first phase shifted clock signal based upon the transition edge and the opposite transition edge of the clock signal. A circuit for shifting a clock signal is also disclosed.
