Abstract
A high-speed parallel-data communication approach overcomes skewing problems by transferring digital data with automatic realignment. In one example embodiment, a parallel bus has parallel bus lines adapted to transfer digital data from a data file, along with a synchronizing clock signal. To calibrate the synchronization, the sending module transfers synchronization codes which are sampled and validated according to an edge of the clock signal by a receiving module and then used to time-adjust the edge of the clock signal relative to the synchronization codes. The synchronization codes are implemented to toggle the bus lines with each of the synchronization codes transferred.
