APPARATUS FOR COMPENSATING FOR SKEW BETWEEN DATA SIGNALS AND CLOCK SIGNAL

摘要

An apparatus for compensating for a skew is provided between data signals supplied through a plurality of data lines and a clock signal supplied through a clock line. A skew compensation apparatus includes a plurality of data receivers each configured to delay a data signal supplied through a corresponding data line based on associated phase difference data and to output the delayed data signal, a clock receiver configured to receive a clock signal supplied through a clock line, and a phase controller configured to select any one of the plurality of data receivers and to output, to the selected data receiver, a phase control signal configured to correct the phase difference data of the selected data receiver based on the phase difference between a data signal output from the selected data receiver and the clock signal.
