  • Systems and methods for transferring a signal from a first clock domain to a second clock domain
    Patent number: 8937492
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transferring a signal from a first clock domain to a second clock domain. A system includes a pulse generator configured to receive an input data signal in the first clock domain and to generate a pulse. The system further includes an unclocked flip-flop configured to generate a first output signal. The first output signal is received by a circuit operating in the second clock domain, and the first output signal has one of a first logical value and a second logical value. The unclocked flip-flop is configured to set the first output signal to the first logical value in response to the pulse. The unclocked flip-flop is configured to reset the first output signal to the second logical value in response to a clock signal in the second clock domain and a second output signal generated by the circuit.
