An apparatus comprising an input interface, an output interface and an adjustment circuit. The input interface may comprise a plurality of input stages each configured to receive a data signal and a clock signal and present an intermediate signal. The output interface may comprise a plurality of output stages each configured to receive the intermediate signal, receive an adjusted clock signal and present an output signal. The adjustment circuit may comprise a plurality of adjustment components each configured to (i) receive the clock signal and (ii) present the adjusted clock signal. The clock signal may be presented through a clock tree. The adjustment circuit may be located near the output interface. The adjustment circuit may be configured to resynchronize the clock signal for each bit transmitted to reduce a mismatch between a bit to bit delay and a delay caused by the clock tree.
