Data flow synchronization

摘要

A synchronizing unit (40) synchronizes a data flow between a first (30) and a second device (50) and receives a first clock signal (DUT-CLK) from the first device (30) and a second clock signal (CLK) from the second device (50). The synchronizing unit (40) comprises a buffer (70) for buffering data and a write unit (80) for writing data from the first device (30) into the buffer (70), whereby a write access onto the buffer (70) is controlled by the first clock signal (DUT-CLK). A read unit (90) reads out data from the buffer (70) to be provided to the second device (50), whereby a read access onto the buffer (70) is controlled by the second clock signal (CLK).
