A system for synchronizing and re-ordering data transmitted between first and second clock domains associated with first and second device interfaces, respectively, includes a splitter, an arbiter, a transaction manager, and a read data buffer. The splitter receives a parent read request from one or more data input ports of the first device interface and splits it into one or more read requests. The arbiter receives the one or more read requests and selects one of the read requests and transmits it to the transaction manager. The transaction manager allocates an entry to the read request and then the read request is transmitted to the read data buffer. Thereafter, the read data buffer transmits the read request to the second device interface and transmits received response data to the first device interface.

System and method for data synchronization across digital device interfaces

A USB system includes a USB hub, a USB device, and a USB bus interconnecting the USB hub and the USB device. The USB hub asserts a reset signaling on the USB bus to initiate a high-speed detection handshake. The USB hub and the USB device activate corresponding dual-mode squelch detectors in a first (handshake) mode of operation. The USB device transmits a device chirp signal to the USB hub. The USB hub responds with a sequence of hub chirp signals. The USB device detects the hub chirp signals and then the USB hub and the USB device establish a communication link in a high-speed mode of communication in accordance with USB 2.0. The dual-mode squelch detectors in the USB hub and the USB device can also be activated in a second (normal) mode of operation.
