Abstract

From a first circuit, information is output in response to acknowledgement signals. From a second circuit, the acknowledgement signals are output in response to the second circuit receiving portions of the information from the first circuit. The portions and the acknowledgement signals are output asynchronously with respect to one another. With at least one of the first and second circuits, a signal having a logic state is received, the logic state is latched, and an operation is performed in response to the latched logic state.
