System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data over a multi-wire data communications link, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. Each symbol in a sequence of symbols received from a plurality of signal wires is received in an odd transmission interval or an even transmission interval. A first clock signal is generated from transitions in signaling state of the wires occurring between each odd transmission interval and a consecutive even transmission interval. A second clock signal is generated from transitions in signaling state of the plurality of wires occurring between each even transmission interval and a consecutive odd transmission interval. The first and second clock signals are used to capture symbols received in even and odd transmission intervals, respectively.
