Abstract
A method of sampling data signals in response to a timing signal includes receiving data signals that are skewed relative to each other. Each data signal has a valid-data window having an extent such that, when a data signal is received, an invisible portion of the valid-data window is outside an observation window and a visible portion of the valid-data window is inside the observation window. The method further includes, for each of the data signals, identifying a designated location within the valid-data window that is part way across the extent of the valid-data window, and for each of the data signals, aligning the data signal such that the designated location aligns with the timing signal.
