Abstract
A method of self-synchronizing clocks in a multiple chip system, by assigning one chip as the master chip and the other chips as slave chips. A training signal is sent from master chip to the slave chips to determine the latency from the master chip to a slave chip, and then a synchronization signal is sent out to synchronize the 'time zero' of the chips.
