ABSTRACT:
A system and method for crossing clocks from a source clock to a destination clock is disclosed. In one embodiment, a source clock phase enable signal is used to enable a set of latch components to selectively input a source clock pulse. The outputs of the latch components may be selected by a multiplexor according to the phases of the destination clock. In another embodiment, a time delay may be passed into the destination clock domain and may be calculated by a number of destination clock cycle time periods. In certain circumstances, the time delay may be adjusted to compensate for longer delays in the clock crossing process.
