Abstract
Some of the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for operating a first in first out (FIFO) memory system in different clock domains, the method comprising receiving a write request in a first clock domain; generating, by a write shift and truncation module in response to receiving the write request, a shifted series of binary numbers such that the shifted series of binary numbers is a reduced sub-set of a first series of binary numbers; and generating, by a binary to Gray conversion module, a series of Gray code numbers corresponding to the shifted series of binary numbers. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
