Abstract
A method for adjusting the signal transmission delay in a data transmission system wherein a driver transmits high speed data to a receiver through a plurality N of transmission media connected together. The link between the driver and the receiver is composed of a plurality of N traces, the length of the trace located on each transmission medium “i” being Li with “i” being an integer comprised between 1 and N. The method consists in adding to each trace of a transmission medium “i” a delay means generating a delay &Dgr;Ti equal to: with Ki being equal to modulo 1, and wherein T0 is the minimum duration of a data pulse between its rising transition and its falling transition, ni is an integer equal to 1 or a number which is prime with N+1, and Vi is the propagation speed of the data signals in the trace “i”.
