ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit that communicates with a plurality of other integrated circuit devices includes a transmitter circuit to transmit data to an external signal line and a first register to store a first value representative of a transmit phase adjustment that is used to adjust when the transmit data is transmitted. The first value is determined based on information specifying a configuration of the plurality of other integrated circuit devices.
