CLOCK DOMAIN BOUNDARY CROSSING USING AN ASYNCHRONOUS BUFFER
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a plurality of channels, where each of the channels includes an asynchronous buffer, a latency determination block, a tap selection circuit, and a variable delay. A latency locator is configured to identify a longest latency from among the channels and is coupled to provide the longest latency to the tap selection circuit of each of the channels. For each of the channels: the latency determination block is coupled to the asynchronous buffer to determine a latency value for the asynchronous buffer; the tap selection circuit is coupled to receive the latency value and the longest latency; the tap selection circuit is coupled to the variable delay; and the tap selection circuit is configured to select a tap of taps of the variable delay responsive to the latency value and the longest latency.
