Patent ID: 8817184

Claim:
A system for transmitting data, the system comprising: a transmitter comprising: a plurality of data output circuits, each of the plurality of data output circuits comprising a delay adjust circuit, the plurality of data output circuits being configured to operate at a data rate; and a sampling clock output circuit configured to output a sampling clock signal with a total sampling clock edge rate equal to the data rate, and a plurality of receivers, each of the plurality of receivers connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of data output circuits, each of the plurality of receivers comprising: a sampling clock input connected to the sampling clock output circuit; a data input circuit; and a receiver output, a back channel connected to a receiver of the plurality of receivers, and to the delay adjust circuit of the corresponding data output circuit, the back channel configured to: measure a delay error in the receiver; and adjust a delay in the delay adjust circuit of the corresponding data output circuit, to reduce the delay error.
