Abstract
A timing margin detecting circuit is provided. The timing margin detecting circuit comprises a delay element, receiving a first data signal and a first clock signal, configured to generate a second data signal and a second clock signal, wherein the second clock signal has a delay relative to the second data signal; a controller, configured to generate the control signal to control the delay of the second clock signal relative to the second data signal; a sampler, coupled to the delay element, configured to generate a sampled data signal according to the second data signal and the second clock signal; and a bit error rate determination circuit, coupled to the sampler, configured to determine whether the sampled data signal is the same as a predefined test pattern and generate a determination result accordingly; wherein the controller determines a timing margin according to the determination result.
