DYNAMIC WAVE-PIPELINED INTERFACE APPARATUS AND METHODS THEREFOR

摘要

An apparatus and method for a dynamic wave-pipelined interface are implemented. Data signals received from a sending circuit delayed via a programmable delay device corresponding to each signal before being latched into the receiving device. The programmable delay in each delay device is set according to an initialisation procedure whereby each signal is deskewed to a latest arriving signal. Additionally, a phase of an input/output (I/O) clock controlling the latchin g of the data signals is adjusted so that a latching transition is substantially centred in a data valid window.
