    摘要: Two clock domains of a data processing device are each synchronized with a different clock signal. The clock signals are generated by clock generation logic. The clock generation logic also generates a transfer enable signal based on the relative frequency of each clock signal to indicate when data can be transferred between the clock domains. Further, as the relative frequency of the clock signals change, the timing of the transfer enable signal also changes to ensure reliable data transfer.

Also provided is a computer readable storage device encoded with data for adapting a manufacturing facility to create an apparatus. The method includes storing a data value in a memory cell in a storage device if a first access parameter associated with the memory cell matches a first pre-determined value and if a second access parameter associated with the memory cell matches a second pre-determined value. The method also includes maintaining a data value in the memory cell in the storage device if the first access parameter differs from the first pre-determined value. The apparatus includes a first and second pair of access parameter ports operatively coupled together and associated with a first and second access parameter respectively. The first and second pair of access parameter ports may be adapted to allow access through the first and second pair of access parameter ports if the first access parameter matches a first pre-determined value, and if the second access parameter matches a second pre-determined value.
