A communication system includes interfacing between a first synchronous circuit and a second synchronous circuit. The system includes a first interface system and a second interface system. The first interface system receives data from the first synchronous circuit, and encodes the data according to an asynchronous communication protocol. The encoded data are transmitted over a communication channel to the second interface system. The second interface system decodes the data and transmits the decoded data to the second synchronous circuit. The first interface system includes a first FIFO memory for storing temporarily the data received from the first synchronous circuit and the second interface system includes a second FIFO memory for storing temporarily the data transmitted over the communication channel.

Communication system, and corresponding integrated circuit and method

A communication system transmits data from a first circuit over a communication channel to a second circuit, the data having a first priority and a second priority. The communication system includes a separation circuit, a first-in first-out (FIFO) memory, and a control circuit.
