Abstract
Methods and systems are described for receiving, over a plurality of consecutive signaling intervals, a plurality of codewords, each codeword received as a plurality of symbols via wires of a multi-wire bus, the plurality of symbols received at a plurality of multi-input comparators (MICs), wherein each symbol is received by at least two MICs, generating, for each codeword, a corresponding linear combination of the received symbols, generating a plurality of composite skew measurement signals over the plurality of consecutive signaling intervals, each composite skew measurement signal based on samples of one or more linear combinations, and updating wire-specific skew values of the wires of the multi-wire bus, wherein one or more wire-specific skew values are updated according to composite skew measurement signals associated with linear combinations formed by at least two different MICs.
