ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit has a circuit for adjusting the time period of an output signal. The adjustment can compensate for semiconductor processing variations varying from wafer to wafer. The circuit adjusts the delay generated by an adjustable delay line, and adjusts the occurrence in time of the trailing edge of the output signal. A value which corresponds with a suitable delay to be generated by the adjustable delay line is stored in nonvolatile storage on the integrated circuit.
