Abstract
Provided is a method and system to transmit data to a configurable integrated circuit that features delaying a capture edge of a clock signal at a data latch to synchronize the receipt of data at the data latch that was transmitted in response to a storage device receiving a launch edge of the clock signal. The method includes transmitting the clock signal having the launch edge and the capture edge to the storage device. The data is launched from the storage device to the integrated circuit in response to the storage device sensing the launch edge. Receipt of the capture edge at the data latch is delayed for a predetermined time to compensate for a delay between transmitting the launch edge and launching the data to ensure the data is latched by the data latch. Also disclosed is a system that carries out the function of the method.
