Timing Error Correction System and Method

Abstract

A timing error correction method used at the transmitting end in high-speed serial data transmission system comprises inputting a predefined parallel data training sequence and a clock signal, converting the training sequence into serial data, counting the number of the rising or falling edges of the serial data within a certain period, sending an adjustment signal for adjusting the time delay of the clock signal, obtaining a reasonable serialization timing, so that the number of the rising edges or falling edges of the serial data being equal to a predefined correct number. The corresponding timing error correction system comprises a data path, an adjustable delay clock path, a serialization unit for converting the parallel data into serial data, a driver unit, and a counting judging unit for counting the number of the rising or falling edges of the serial data and sending an adjustment signal to the adjustable delay clock path so as to control the timing of the serialization unit.
