Abstract
In order to compensate for phase offset between different sets of circuitry having different synchronous clock domains, transmit (TX) circuitry of one domain is configured to transmit a pattern signal (e.g., a pseudo random bit sequence) to receive (RX) circuitry of the other domain. The RX circuitry cycles through a number of different phase-shifted RX clock signals to determine which selected clock signals result in valid RX pattern signals. The RX circuitry is then able to select one of the phase-shifted clock signals for use in normal processing of an RX data signal received from the TX circuitry.
