Timing control means for automatic compensation of timing uncertainties

摘要

A timing control device and method for minimizing timing uncertainties due to skew and jitter, wherein a device for the compensation of timing errors in multiple channel electronic devices comprises at least one register having a plurality of channels comprising: a clock for providing a clock signal; a reference signal generator for generating reference signals for deskewing the registers. For each register, a corresponding feedback loop is associated for the relative alignment of the register's timing. The feedback loop comprises a device for detecting a deviation from a predetermined level of probability of reading by the register of a desired symbol on a boundary of two reference channel symbols in a sequence, and a set of delay devices which use the detected values of probability to generate a feedback signal.
