Transceiver with latency alignment circuitry

A system comprising:

• a memory controller;
• a serial communication path coupled to the memory controller;
• a plurality of memory devices;
• a transceiver, coupled to the plurality of memory devices, the transceiver including:
• a first interface to receive a first plurality of signals that represents data from the plurality of memory devices;
• a transmitter to transmit a second plurality of signals that represents data to the memory controller through the serial communication path;
• and
• a plurality of registers to store a plurality of values provided by the memory controller, wherein the plurality of values includes a first value that specifies a transmit timing adjustment to the second plurality of signals to transmit to the memory controller using the transmitter.

A method of operation in a system, wherein the system includes a memory controller coupled to a transceiver through a serial communication path, and a plurality of memory devices coupled to the transceiver, wherein the method comprises:

• the transceiver receiving a first value that specifies a transmit timing adjustment for a first plurality of signals that represents data to transmit to the memory controller;
• the transceiver receiving a second plurality of signals that represents data from the plurality of memory devices;
• and
• transmitting the first plurality of signals that represents data to the memory controller through the serial communication path and in accordance with the transmit timing adjustment, wherein the transmit timing adjustment is specified by the first value stored on the transceiver.
