Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling a skew between multiple data lanes. In the method and apparatus, a first data lane control stage controls control outputting first data over a first data lane based on a first data lane clock and a second data lane control stage controls outputting second data over a second data lane based on a second data lane clock. In the method and apparatus, a first device is associated with a system clock and is configured to generate the first and second data for outputting over the first and second data lanes. A clock control stage causes the first and second data lane clocks to be offset from each other by a fixed time duration that is an integer fraction of a cycle duration of the system clock.
