Abstract
A receiver circuit includes a clock lane propagating a clock signal. A self-sampled clock applies a delayed version of the clock signal to the clock signal and compensation logic controls an amount of delay of the delayed version of the clock, based on a reference voltage offset (difference) between the receiver and a transmitter. The delayed version of the clock is centered on one unit interval of the clock. An offset correction is computed as a global offset value based on a clock duty cycle error, combined with a local offset value for each data lane, and is applied to data receiver front ends.
