Abstract: An integrated circuit configured to capture an input signal to produce an output signal. The input signal is synchronized with a first clock signal. The output signal is synchronized with a second clock signal having a second frequency different from a first frequency associated with the first signal. The integrated circuit includes a first clock domain gating circuit having a first output terminal and a first input terminal. The first clock domain gating circuit is configured to be clocked by the first clock. The first input terminal is coupled to receive the input signal, and the first clock domain gating circuit is configured to toggle a state of a signal on the first output terminal from one of a first state and a second state to the other of the first state and the second state every time a pulse is detected in the input signal, thereby producing a latched output at the first output terminal.

Abstract: A method for facilitating transfer of data between a master block and a slave block through a bus. The method includes ascertaining a transfer size of the data. The method also includes designating a first possible transfer size in a set of possible transfer sizes a chosen transfer size, the set of possible transfer sizes including possible transfer sizes ranging from 20 to 2n, where 2n at least equals to the largest transfer size desired between the master block and the slave block, the first possible transfer size presenting the largest possible transfer size in the set of possible transfer sizes that is less than or equal to the transfer size. The method additionally includes transferring a first data portion of the data from the master block to the slave block, the first data portion having a size that is equal to the chosen transfer size.
