Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to phase alignment, in particular to phase alignment circuitry (and parts thereof) for example for use in a multiplexer or other circuitry in which data is transmitted from one stage to another. Consideration is given to phase detection and phase rotation. Such circuitry may be implemented as integrated circuitry, for example on an IC chip.

Claim (Index 1):
Multiplexer circuitry, comprising:\n a data transmitter configured to transmit a data signal across a signal line based on a transmission clock signal; a control unit comprising a data receiver and a phase detector, wherein the data receiver is configured to receive the data signal from the signal line based on a reception clock signal and to generate an output signal based on the received data signal and synchronized with the reception clock signal, and wherein the phase detector is configured to measure a phase of the received data signal relative to a phase of the reception clock signal based on said output signal and to output a control signal indicative of a difference between the measured phase and a target phase of the received data signal; and a phase rotator configured to adjust the phase of the transmission clock signal based on the control signal to bring the measured phase towards or to the target phase.
