Abstract
An electrical signal is communicated between a first device and a second device during a plurality of active clock periods, where the electrical signal is in one of multiple possible states during each of the active clock periods. Timing circuitry within one of the first and second devices detects a predetermined sequence of states in the electrical signal, and in response to detecting the predetermined sequence, adjusts the timing of a subsequent state of the electrical signal with respect to an associated active clock period. Adjustment of signal timing in this manner is useful in reducing signal error due to the line charging effect.
