Zusammenfassung:Systems, apparatuses, and methods for utilizing training sequences on a replica lane are described. A transmitter is coupled to a receiver via a communication channel with a plurality of lanes. One of the lanes is a replica lane used for tracking the drift in the optimal sampling point due to temperature variations, power supply variations, or other factors. While data is sent on the data lanes, test patterns are sent on the replica lane to determine if the optimal sampling point for the replica lane has drifted since a previous test. If the optimal sampling point has drifted for the replica lane, adjustments are made to the sampling point of the replica lane and to the sampling points of the data lanes.
