| 摘要 |
Implementations of the present disclosure involve an apparatus and/or method for communicating between domains of a computing system, where at least one of the domains operates on a skipped clock signal. Communication from a skipped clock domain to a non-skipped clock domain, or free running domain, may include a valid signal component configured to indicate when a new data packet is available and one or more counters associated with the domains to count received data packets for acknowledgement or credit purposes. The free running domain may receive data packets from any number of skipped clock domains through the communication scheme described herein. Communication from a free running domain to a skipped clock domain may include delaying transmitted data packets to correspond with the cycles of the skipped clock signal to ensure that transmitted data packets arrive at the skipped clock domain to be properly read on a skipped clock cycle. |
