An apparatus and method for dynamically centering a setup-time and hold-time window. An access window defined by a setup-time and a hold-time is determined. A determination is made whether the access window is centered about a centerline. The centerline is a point between a predetermined setup-time limit and a predetermined hold-time limit. A dynamic access window centering process is performed in response to the determination that the access window is not centered about the centerline. The dynamic access window centering process includes: determining that the access window has shifted from the centerline; and providing at least one of a dynamic delay and a dynamic speed-up of the access window based upon the determination that the access window has shifted from the centerline.
