A method and system for coupling digital signals from a first location to
a second location through respective signal lines includes a mode
detector that detects each of the transitions of the digital signals. The
mode detector determines respective propagation times of the signals
through the signal lines based on the relative transitions of the
signals. The mode detector then applies delay values to delay circuits
that couple the signals to the signal lines with respective delays
corresponding to the delay values. The delay values may be determined by
coupling a predetermined pattern of test signals through the signal lines
and determining which delay values allow the signals to be most
accurately captured at the second location.
