Abstract

Calibrating return time includes determining clock calibration information based on clock signals local to a master device and return clock signals corresponding to each of at least two slave devices, storing clock calibration information with respect to each of the slave devices with which the master device will communicate using a bus, and, after the clock calibration information has been stored, resynchronizing data signals that are received from each of the slave devices based on the corresponding stored clock calibration information.
