"Device, system and method to provide adaptive clock modulation with delay line circuits" was invented by Terry Remple (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques and mechanisms for using multiple delay line circuits to detect a change to the frequency of a periodic signal. In an embodiment, a first delay line receives the periodic signal from a phase locked loop, and generates first bits which include an indication of a first edge segment of the delay line. Another two delay lines receive respective bits which are variously based on a sampling of the f...
