Controlled multi-step de-alignment of clocks

An apparatus for data processing includes first and second functional units driven by corresponding first and second clock-signal sources, and a clock-retardation unit. The clock-retardation unit is configured to cause the second clock-signal to sustain a temporal offset that causes an offset betwee...

Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for data processing includes first and second functional units driven by corresponding first and second clock-signal sources, and a clock-retardation unit. The clock-retardation unit is configured to cause the second clock-signal to sustain a temporal offset that causes an offset between the first and second clock-signals to step toward a target time-domain offset between the first and second clock-signals.
