A method for capturing data includes receiving a plurality of external clock signals including a first external clock signal and a second external clock signal. Each external clock signal has a first frequency, a first edge and a second edge. Data is received on one or more signal links at a second frequency that is faster than the first frequency. The data includes consecutive data with a first data signal followed by a second consecutive data signal. The consecutive data is captured at the second frequency in response to the first edges and not the second edges of the external clock signals. The first data signal is captured based on the first edge of the first external clock signal and the second consecutive data signal is captured based on the first edge of the second external clock signal.
