A method, system and memory controller that uses adjustable read data delay settings. The memory controller includes control transmit circuitry, data reception circuitry and timing circuitry. The control circuitry transmits a control signal to multiple memory devices via a shared control signal path. The data reception circuitry receives data signals from the memory devices via respective data signal paths. The timing circuitry delays reception of data signals on each of the data signal paths by a respective time interval that is based, at least in part, on a time required for the control signal to propagate on the control signal path from the memory controller to a respective one of the memory devices.
