Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for clock phase calibration between source logic and a coupled serial data link transmitter, enabling low-latency synchronization into the transmitter. In calibration mode, a phase relationship is monitored between a first clock, driving the source logic, and a second clock, tightly synchronized with a serial clock of the data link. The first clock is adjusted to a first phase at which the first and second clocks are aligned. The first clock phase is set for operation mode based on the first phase. Monitoring uses a D-type flip-flop as a phase detector. Adjustment is in steps of half the serial clock period. Variations are disclosed.
