Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. An operation method of an electronic circuit which estimates a timing skew, the method comprising:
receiving a first receive signal and a second receive signal;
generating a first reference signal by delaying the first receive signal as much as a first time;
generating first sample data by sampling the second receive signal based on the first reference signal;
generating a first output value based on a metric indicating a statistical characteristic of the first sample data;
generating a second reference signal by delaying the first receive signal as much as a second time;
generating second sample data by sampling the second reference signal based on the second reference signal;
generating a second output value based on the metric indicating the statistical characteristic with respect to the second sample data;
estimating the first time or the second time as the timing skew by comparing the first output value and the second output value; and
compensating for the timing skew to output final sample data.
