Abstract

A clock scheme for a system on a chip wherein integral sub-multiples of a system clock have positive edges on odd-numbered positive edges of the system clock and negative edges on even-numbered positive edges Data transfer between blocks of different frequencies is controlled by a state machine of the higher frequency block and can be achieved without elastic buffers and/or synchronizers.
