    • A digitally programmable delay circuit comprising a plurality of transistors connected in parallel with each other and to a line carrying a signal having an edge to be delayed. One or more of the transistors are selected by a delay control signal to impose a delay amount to the edge, wherein the delay control signal is based on a desired delay amount and a measure of instantaneous process, voltage and temperature conditions of an integrated circuit in which the plurality of transistors are implemented. A selector circuit is responsive to the delay control signal and converts the delay control signal into one or more transistor selection signals to activate one or more of the plurality of transistors. The plurality of transistors may comprise a first sub-circuit having a plurality of transistors of a first type (e.g., P- type) connected in parallel with each other in a ladder configuration, and a second sub-circuit comprising a plurality of transistors of a second type (e.g., N-type) connected in parallel with each other and in a ladder configuration. The overall delay imposed on the edge after it has passed through both sub-circuits has delay contributions from both types of transistors. The delay circuit may have enhanced performance because of finer delay control granularity by providing a first circuit stage that comprises a plurality of transistors for relatively fine delay adjustment to the edge and a second circuit stage that comprises a plurality of transistors for relatively coarse delay adjustment to the edge. A combination of one or more of the transistors in the first and second circuit stages may be selected to produce numerous steps or increments of delay adjustability.

    • A system and method for generating a clock signal having spread spectrum modulation. The method involves generating a clock signal by generating edge positions for edges of the clock signal from a digital representation of a timing for each edge to impart spread spectrum modulation to the clock signal. A programmable modulator is provided that generates digital values representing edge positions for edges of a clock signal based on at least one of a time-varying period value and a time-varying duty-cycle value. The programmable modulator may comprise a first circuit, called a period modulation circuit, that generates a time-varying digital period value, and a second circuit, called a duty-cycle modulation circuit, that generates a time-varying digital duty-cycle value. The time-varying period values and time-varying duty cycle values are processed to produce a digital edge position value that specifies an edge position for a clock signal. The programmable modulator is coupled to an arbitrary waveform synthesizer that generates timing for edges of the clock signal based on the edge position values. A variety of modulations can be imposed on the clock signal using these techniques, including triangle wave modulation, near-triangle modulation, random and pseudo-random modulation.
