Abstract

See full text

Systems and/or methods for measuring latency in an electronic device such as, e.g., a storage device, may include coupling circuitry configured to capacitively couple an outbound or write data path to an inbound or read data path. A latency measurement signal may be driven on the write data path, the coupling circuitry may transmit at least a portion of the latency measurement signal from the write data path to the read data path, and the latency measurement signal may be sensed on the read data path to be used to determine communication path latency in the device.
