Abstract
In order to transmit several data words in succession over a bus between components in a data processing system, the skew between the various bus lines has to be compensated in order that each data word is accurately received. The skew compensation is implemented by setting predetermined delays on certain bus lines in response to the comparison of a test pattern with an ideal situation.
