Abstract

A system for determining a unit time of a serial transmission protocol, wherein the serial transmission protocol defines a unit time (UT) by transmitting a calibration pulse having a predetermined length of N*UT and wherein a receiver is operated by system clock, includes: a clock divider for dividing the system dock by M, wherein M evenly divides N, and a detector for sampling a received data nibble length by using a dithered sampling clock.
