Abstract:
A system includes a controller configured to receive a signal indicating whether a droop event has occurred. The system also includes a plurality of delay elements where each delay element of the plurality of delay elements responsive to a signal from the controller receives an input signal and outputs an output signal that is a delayed version of the input signal. At least one delay element of the plurality of delay elements receives a clocking signal as its input signal. The system also includes a selector configured to select rising edges and falling edges of output signals from the plurality of delay elements to form a modified clocking signal. The modified clocking signal is a modified version of the clocking signal.
