ABSTRACT:
Described are techniques to stabilize storage devices receiving signals from plural asynchronous docks, especially to avoid "metastability", in particular, a multi-dock pulse synchronizer circuit with an IN-section for receiving and storing prescribed impulses and input cock signals, and for responsively outputting intermediate signals: and an OUT-section for receiving and storing the intermediate pulses, synchronous with certain output clock signals and processing them to generate certain output-signals which avoid metastability.
