Processing clock signals

Abstract

A circuit for processing a clock signal including first and second clock edges of different polarities, the circuit including an inverter for inverting a first clock edge to generate an inverted first clock edge and inverting a second clock edge to generate an inverted second clock edge; a first pass gate for receiving the inverted clock edge and outputting a first trigger signal of a first polarity; and a second pass gate for receiving the second clock edge and outputting a second trigger signal of the first polarity, wherein the second pass gate is controlled to open responsive to the inverted second clock edge; whereby the delay between the first clock edge and the first trigger signal is substantially equal to the delay between the second clock edge and second trigger signal.
