==APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR TIMING SKEW CALIBRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18363906 titled 'APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR TIMING SKEW CALIBRATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an apparatus and method for timing skew calibration, which includes an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, a skew detection circuit, and a compensation circuit.

* Analog-to-digital conversion circuit samples an input signal based on a clock signal and converts it into a digital code.
* Skew detection circuit calculates standard deviations for levels of the digital code, compares them with previously calculated values, and selects the smaller value.
* Compensation circuit adjusts for clock signal skew based on the selected standard deviation value.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An apparatus and method for timing skew calibration. For example, the apparatus may include an analog-to-digital conversion circuit configured to sample an input signal based on a clock signal and convert the sampled input signal into a digital code, a skew detection circuit configured to calculate a first sum of standard deviations for respective levels of the digital code, compare the first sum of the standard deviations with a previously calculated second sum of standard deviations, and select a smaller value from among the first sum and the second sum, and a compensation circuit configured to compensate for a skew of the clock signal based on the selected one of the first sum and the second sum.
