Methods and apparatus are provided for trimming a phase detector in a delay-locked-loop. A latch that evaluates a phase offset between two signals is trimmed by applying two signals to the latch that are substantially phase aligned; obtaining a phase offset between the two signals measured by the latch; and adjusting a trim setting of one or more buffers associated with the two signals until the phase offset satisfies one or more predefined criteria. The two signals can be a clock signal and an inverted version of the clock signal. The two signals can be a source of phase aligned data generated from a single clock source.
