Abstract
A major problem in VLSI system design is controlling off-chip driver characteristics and skew in clock generation as process parameters, temperature, and supply voltage vary. A control circuit methodology has been developed that senses the relative performance of a CMOS chip and transmits a digitally encoded state to off-chip driver and clock generation circuits to control their operating characteristics
