Abstract

An interface system is used for interfacing a synchronous circuit with an asynchronous circuit, wherein the synchronous circuit generates, in response to a clock signal, a first control signal for indicating that a first data signal contains valid data, and wherein the asynchronous circuit generates, according to an asynchronous communication protocol, a second control signal indicating the state of transmission of a second data signal.
