Abstract

The storage interface includes a first programmable input/output unit configured to perform phase inversion on a clock signal that is output by the master controller, and output the phase-inverted clock signal to the storage device. The storage interface includes a second programmable input/output unit configured to delay a data signal that is output by the master controller, and output the delayed data signal to the storage device, where the delayed data signal is delayed by a time ΔT relative to the clock signal that is output by the master controller, and TCLK/2−ΔT≥TISU and ΔT≥TIH, where TCLK represents a period of the clock signal, TISU represents a shortest input setup time required by the storage device in each of different data rate modes, and TIH represents a shortest input hold time employed by the storage device in each of different data rate modes.
