Abstract:
1. A method for communicating data between a first integrated circuit device and a second integrated circuit device, the method comprising: transmitting a timing signal from the first integrated circuit device to the second integrated circuit device, wherein the timing signal includes a first transition and a second transition; delaying the data at the first integrated circuit device, so that the data is delayed relative to the timing signal by a first delay time; transmitting the delayed data from the first integrated circuit device to the second integrated circuit device; receiving the timing signal and the delayed data at the second integrated circuit device; delaying, at the second integrated circuit device, the first transition of the timing signal by a second delay time to generate a delayed version of the first transition; and sensing the data at the second integrated circuit device during a time interval between the delayed version of the first transition and the second transition using the delayed version of the first transition to start integration of the data and using the second transition as a sense edge to trigger sensing of the data.
