Abstract

The invention provides a method and an apparatus for determining a skew of each data bit of an encoded data word received by a receiver via an interface from a transmitter comprising the steps of performing an error check and correction of the received and sampled encoded data word to calculate an error corrected encoded data word corresponding to the encoded data word transmitted by the transmitter, and correlating a sequence of error corrected encoded data words with the sampled encoded data words to determine a skew of each data bit of said received encoded data words.
