Abstract

The invention includes a method to adjust integrated circuit device I/O bus timing. In one embodiment, the method includes comparing an alignment between an edge of a first clock signal to a center of a data packet to produce an alignment offset signal and adjusting the first clock signal using a variable delay device in response to the alignment offset signal to substantially align the edge of the first clock signal to the center of the data packet. Other embodiments are claimed and described.
