Abstract
A method for controlling a memory includes causing a data de-skewer to operate in a writing mode, at the data de-skewer, receiving a first signal, and skewing the first data signal by a first compensation skew, causing the data de-skewer to operate in a reading mode, at the data de-skewer, receiving a second signal, and skewing the second signal by a second compensation skew, wherein the first signal is representative of a bit from a byte that is to be written to the memory, and wherein the second signal is representative of a bit from a byte that has been read from the memory.
