Systems and methods are shown for reading data. One method includes receiving at a first circuit, from a second circuit, a plurality of data input signals and a timing reference signal, generating a plurality of oversampled data input signal and an oversampled timing reference signal, and determining a bit boundary range in the oversampled timing reference signal. The bit boundary range is then applied to the oversampled data input signals to determine a plurality of data words from the plurality of oversampled data input signals.
