Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for inserting a re-timer signal between a transmitter and a receiver, including receiving, from the transmitter, an input data signal having encoded words, where each encoded word of the encoded words has a word length of a predetermined number of bits; generating, by a re-timer and based on the input data signal, a regenerated clock signal and an output data signal; determining, based on the regenerated clock signal, a timing difference between the input data signal and the output data signal of the re-timer; and applying, by the re-timer and based on the timing difference between the input data signal and the output data signal, a delay to the input data signal to generate a delayed output data signal, such that a timing difference between the input data signal and the delayed output data signal corresponds to N word lengths.
