Abstract
An apparatus and method may detect and reduce noise on data busses by adjusting the phase of the input/output (I/O) signals in a controlled, predictable manner. The control may allow a maximum data rate to be achieved. In one embodiment, an algorithm used to determine phase change data may be handled by a feedback loop and may be dynamically adjusted. The system may detect noise on rails and critical signals for logging in call home data. The system may maintain a database of settings as a function of a workload. The system may be used in the field as the workload changes to determine that a signal has reached a first threshold. In response to determining that the signal has reached the first threshold, an alert is initiated. A system may determine that the signal has reached a second threshold. In response to determining that the signal has reached the second threshold, the signal may be coupled to logic circuitry.
