Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for clock deskew includes: a first delay element configured to receive a clock signal from a clock, wherein the delay element comprises multiple delay lines; a first multiplexer coupled to the multiple delay lines; a sensor configured to sense a voltage, a temperature, or both, and to provide a sensor output based at least on the sensed voltage and/or the sensed temperature; and a converter configured to receive the sensor output, and to generate a converted signal; wherein the first multiplexer is configured to provide a delay line output from one of the multiple delay lines based at least in part on the converted signal.
