Abstract
In accordance with aspects of the present invention, a method of synchronizing two integrated circuits is presented. A method of synchronizing two integrated circuits can include sending a first pulse from a master IC to a slave IC over a SYNC bus; receiving a second pulse on the SYNC bus from the slave IC; checking the second pulse; triggering an interrupt if a failure is detected; and initiating measurement if synchronization is detected.
