Abstract
A system () for transferring a data signal (sig_fast) from a first clock domain () to a second clock domain (). The first clock domain () has a first clock (ck_fast) with a frequency greater than the frequency of a second clock (ck_slow) in the second clock domain (). The system () also has a signal input () for receiving an input signal (sig_fast) from the first clock domain (), means () for checking whether the second clock (ck_slow) is in a part of its cycle away from a forthcoming transition, and means () for transferring the input signal (sig_fast) to the second clock domain () if the checking means () determines that the second clock (ck_slow) is in part of its cycle away from a forthcoming transition. The checking means () are clocked by the first clock (ck_fast).
