Method for providing automatic clock de-skewing on a circuit board

摘要

A method of providing automatic clock de-skewing for integrated circuit chips carried by a multi-layer circuit board. In a preferred implementation of the method, a clock distribution chip includes on-chip automatic clock de-skewing circuitry requiring an accurate reference delay which is advantageously provided by a strip transmission line formed on one of the conductive planes of the multi-layer circuit board containing the chips.
