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.

Method and apparatus for flexible and programmable clock crossing control with dynamic compensation

A method and apparatus for using different timings to latch signals sent by two memory devices of identical design to compensate for differences in the lengths of conductors across which the signals must propagate.
