  • Publication number: 20050268135
    Abstract: A synchronous input to output protocol translator supporting multiple reference oscillator frequencies and fixed latency data computation and chip crossing circuits enables implementation of a method for delaying osc2 relative to osc1 in a configurable way to provide a constant, minimal Tptcc over a range of refosc frequencies between circuits for data transferred. It requires that the data transferred from a register R1 be sent over multiple wires via configurable delay circuitry for osc2, capture circuitry at the input to R2, and a circuit to transfer a synchronizing signal from a non-delayed clock domain to a delayed clock domain. Relative to osc1, osc2 is a delayed, synchronous clock.
