Patent ID: 8847651

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a first integrated circuit including a hardware interface to receive a first plurality of signals at least partially in parallel, the hardware interface comprising a plurality of contacts, each to exchange a respective one of the first plurality of signals; and receiver circuitry to transition to a first configuration and further to sequentially latch a second plurality of signals based on the first plurality of signals in response to the hardware interface to receive the first plurality of signals, wherein the second plurality of signals are to be latched in an order based on the first configuration, and wherein a first pinout with the hardware interface is based on the first configuration, wherein the receiver circuitry includes: a latch module to receive one or more control signals, wherein for each of the plurality of contacts, the one or more control signals indicate that a respective delay corresponds to the contact, wherein the receiver circuitry to transition to the first configuration based on the one or more control signals.
