Patent number: 10853004Abstract: Devices and methods for calibrating communication lines are disclosed. A clock sets a frequency of transmission through a communication line. A delay compensator, comprising multi-tap delay lines introduces delays in a transmitted message to compensate for skew in the communication line. An error comparator, coupled to the delay compensator, identifies errors in the messages transmitted through the multi-tap delay lines above an error margin. A delay selector, coupled to the error comparator and to the delay compensator, selects taps of the multi-tap delay lines of the delay compensator. Taps of the multi-tap delay lines where no errors are identified for the selected clock frequency are stored in a memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Xavier Ponce Garcia, Jordi Hernandez Creus, Ricard Silvestre
