Abstract:
An interface apparatus comprising:a plurality of delay devices, each device being operable for receiving a corresponding data signal, each delay device having a preselectable delay time, and outputting said data signal after preselected delay time; and circuitry coupled to said plurality of delay devices operable for setting each preselectedable delay time, each preselected delay being set in response to an arrival time associated with each data signal, wherein said circuitry operable for setting each preselectable delay comprises: data compare logic operable for receiving a predetermined subset of said data signals, an outputting a first predetermined output signal value when said subset of data signals comprises a first predetermined set of values, and outputting a second predetermined output signal value when said subset of data signals has a second predetermined set of values, wherein said subset of data signals assumes one of said first and second predetermined sets of values in response to said associated arrival times; and circuitry operable for modifying said preselected delay times in response to said first and second predetermined output signal values.
