A synchronous mirror delay (SMD)includes a model delay line that is coupled to a bi-directional delay line. In operation, an initial edge an input clock signal is applied through the model delay line to the bi-directional delay line. The SMD thereafter operates in a forward delay mode to alternately operate the bi-directional delay line in a forward mode and a backward mode to propagate the initial edge of the input clock signal through the bi-directional delay line and delay the initial edge of the input clock signal by a forward delay. In response to a subsequent edge of the input clock signal, the SMD mirrors the propagation of the input clock signal through the bi-directional delay line during the forward mode and further delay the initial edge of the input clock signal by a backward delay that is substantially equal to the forward delay. |
