Abstract

A system includes a first device, coupled to a link, which transmits a signal having a repeating pattern on one or more paths of the link. The system includes a second device coupled to the link and including one or more circuits and a time-to-digital converter (TDC). The second device is to receive at the one or more circuits the signal. The second device is to determine, by the TDC, a current duty cycle of the signal, the current duty cycle having a first duration associated with a first portion of the signal and a second duration associated with a second portion of the signal. The second device is further to determine the current duty cycle fails to satisfy a condition associated with a target duty cycle in response to determining the current duty cycle of the signal and adjust the current duty cycle to obtain an adjusted duty cycle.
