发明名称 CLOCK DOMAIN CROSSING SERIAL INTERFACE, DIRECT LATCHING, AND RESPONSE CODES
摘要 Aspects of a clock domain crossing serial interface, direct latching over the serial interface, and response codes are described. In various embodiments, a data communication command received over a serial interface is identified, and an address received over the serial interface is resolved to access a register bank. In a write operation, depending upon whether the address falls within a direct latch address range of the register bank, data may be directly latched into a direct latch register of the register bank or into a first-in-first-out register. For both read and write operations, reference may be made to a status register of the serial interface to identify or mitigate error conditions, and wait times may be relied upon to account for a clock domain crossing. After each of the read and write operations, a response code including a status indictor may be communicated.
