Abstract
A subordinate device includes a local clock and a protocol controller. The protocol controller is coupled to a bus that includes a data wire. The protocol controller is configured to receive, on the data wire from a principal device, a read command addressed to the subordinate device indicating initiation of a read transaction. The protocol controller is also configured to, after a delay window, send synchronization pulses to the principal device based on the local clock, where a duration of the delay window is greater than a clock cycle of the local clock. The protocol controller is further configured to, after sending the synchronization pulses, send data on the data wire to the principal device based on the local clock during the read transaction.
