Abstract

An interface between unsynchronised devices such as ASICs. The interface comprises a delay means which synchronises the write strobe of the first device with the system clock of the second device, thus enabling the transfer of data from the first device to the second device. The interface requires fewer gates per register in the second device than prior art interfaces.
