Abstract

See full text

A data interface circuit wherein calibration adjustments for data bit capture are made without disturbing normal system operation, is described. A plurality of DLL capture and delay circuits for sampling a trained optimal sampling point as well as leading and trailing sampling points are defined. A first stream of data bits is input to the data interface circuit and using a first calibration method and a first set of values is established. A second stream of data bits is input to the data interface circuit during normal system operation. A second calibration method is performed that is different from the first, establishing a second set of values. Several fringe timing points are sampled. A drift amount is compared with a drift correction threshold value and the first optimal sampling point is shifted in time by the drift amount to revise the first optimal sampling point.
