Abstract

An embodiment of a technique to capture and locally synchronize data is disclosed. The technique includes receiving first and second signals through a first interface, and receiving a third signal through a second interface where the third signal is unsynchronized with respect to the second signal. The technique further includes detecting a first phase difference between the second and third signals, and generating a fourth signal in a manner so that a second phase difference between the fourth signal and one of the second or third signals is a function of the first phase difference. In addition, the technique includes storing a state of the first signal in response to the fourth signal, and thereafter supplying the stored state of the first signal to the second interface.
