Abstract
A method for multi-bit de-skewing of parallel bus signals is disclosed. The method includes receiving data comprising a multi-bit word and a training pattern. After a first control word of the training pattern is detected, the number of bits needed to de-skew each data bit of a multi-bit data word in each bit-line of a parallel bus is calculated. The number of bits needed to de-skew each data bit of a multi-bit data word in each bit-line of the parallel bus is transmitted to a bit delay line. The system then outputs a de-skewed data word.
