Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing asynchronous feedback training sequences are described. A transmitter transmits a training sequence indication to a receiver via a communication channel including a plurality of data lines. The training sequence indication includes a bit sequence to indicate the beginning of a training sequence. The indication includes a transition from a zero to a one at the midpoint of a supercycle of ‘N’ clock cycles in length, followed by a predetermined number of ones. The training sequence indication is then followed by a test pattern. The beginning of the test pattern occurs at the end of a supercycle. The receiver determines if there are any errors in the received test pattern, and then sends feedback to the transmitter that indicates whether any errors were detected. Responsive to receiving the feedback, the transmitter alters delay settings for one or more of the data lines.
