Receiver with automatic skew compensation

摘要

The present invention relates to the reduction of timing uncertainty in high speed communications channel or interface and to a receiver and method using the same. The receiver according to the invention comprises a plurality of samplers for latching data. The invention provides improvements to the Bit Error rate versus channel and inherent register noise, as a result of employment of the characteristic of phase noise within the receiving registers to measure the characteristics of the channel and to compensate for variations in the channel by altering the timing characteristics of the signal.
