Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus are provided for delay line control using receive data. A delay in a Delay-Locked-Loop circuit is controlled by obtaining a plurality of samples of one or more received signals for each unit interval; determining a data eye width in the one or more received signals; and adjusting a delay of at least one clock signal based on the data eye width. For example, the measured data eye width can be compared to a predefined value, such as a desired or ideal value. Generally, the delay is not adjusted in accordance with the present invention until the Delay-Locked-Loop circuit has reached a locked condition based on one or more predefined criteria.
