1. A system, comprising:
a pulse generator to generate a synchronization signal;
a first integrated circuit device, comprising:
a first signal generator to generate a first timing signal; and
a first count controller to control a first local count value based on the first timing signal, the first count controller operable to:
on startup of the first count controller, initialize the first local count value and initiate periodic incrementation of the first local count value;
detect a synchronization pulse in the synchronization signal; and
align the first local count value with an implied count value associated with the synchronization pulse; and
a second integrated circuit device, comprising:
a second signal generator to generate a second timing signal; and
a second count controller to control a second local count value based on the second timing signal, the second count controller operable to:
on startup of the second count controller, initialize the second local count value and initiate periodic incrementation of the second local count value;
detect the synchronization pulse in the synchronization signal; and
align the second local count value with the implied count value associated with the synchronization pulse.
