Abstract:
A first integrated circuit (IC) has an adjustable delay circuit and a first interface circuit. A first clock signal is provided to the adjustable delay circuit to produce a delayed clock signal provided to the first interface circuit. A second IC has a supply voltage sense circuit and a second interface circuit that transfers data with the first IC. The supply voltage sense circuit provides a noise signal to the first IC that is indicative of noise in a supply voltage of the second IC. The adjustable delay circuit adjusts a delay of the delayed clock signal based on the noise signal. In other embodiments, edge-colored clock signals reduce the effects of high frequency jitter in the transmission of data between integrated circuits (ICs) by making the high frequency jitter common between the ICs. In other embodiments, a supply voltage is used to generate clocks signals on multiple ICs.
