An auto-calibration method is applied to a delay circuit, which includes a
plurality of delay chains. If the number of accumulative errors of a
designated delay chain as a current delay path is larger than a threshold
value, the delay circuit scans all the delay chains and records their
accumulative error numbers during a unit of time; otherwise, the current
delay path is maintained. Afterwards, the number of accumulative errors
is compared between all the delay chains to find out which one of the
delay chains has a minimum accumulative error number, and the delay chain
with a minimum accumulative error number is designated as a new current
delay path.
