  • Patent number: 5550533
    Abstract: A clocking scheme for transferring data between electronic devices. The clocking scheme includes sending a data request signal from a first device to a second device during a first system clocking period. The second device then sends the requested data and a corresponding data validation signal to the first device. The data validation signal latches the data into the second device. The data is latched by the validation signal in a time period that is typically shorter than the clocking period of the system clock.
