Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a receiver having a delay lock loop (DLL) to receive a clock signal and to generate a plurality of clock phases therefrom, and an offset controller including a first register set for a first phase interpolator and a second register set for a second phase interpolator. At initiation of a track pre-tune process, both phase interpolators are controlled to generate sampling signals at a common clock phase. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
