Pulse synchronizer circuit
Abstract:
A pulse synchronizer circuit converts an input data signal generated under a source-clock domain into an output data signal under a destination-clock domain, where the destination clock is independent of the source clock. The pulse synchronizer circuit successfully converts each data pulse in the input data signal into a corresponding data pulse in the output data signal when the source clock is faster than the destination clock, when the source clock is slower than the destination clock, when an input data pulse has a duration of one source-clock cycle, and when an input data pulse has a duration of multiple source-clock cycles. The pulse synchronizer circuit has source-domain circuitry and destination-domain circuitry. The source-domain circuitry detects input data pulses and determines whether they are single- or multi-cycle data pulses. The destination-domain circuitry generates output data pulses based on the processing of the source-domain circuitry.
