  • Early mode protection for chip-to-chip synchronous interfaces
    Patent number: 10931269
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a process for receiving data and a first clock signal of a first chip and a second clock signal of a second chip, the data being received on a data path and the first clock signal being received on a clock signal path, and determining that the first clock signal is arriving before the second clock signal by a difference quantity. Also, the process includes adding delay to the data path and the clock signal path according to the difference quantity.
