Abstract:
Alignment of a clock signal to a particular phase is described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an incoming clock signal and multiple phased clock signals, each of the phased clock signals having a different phase and a substantially same phase offset from another phased clock signal. At least one detection signal based on the incoming and phased clock signals is provided, and one or more errors contributed by noise in at least the incoming clock signal are corrected in the at least one detection signal. Based on the at least one detection signal, one of the phased clock signals is selected as the most closely aligned of the phased clock signals to the predetermined clock phase, and the selected clock signal is output.
