Abstract
A method and system are provided for synchronizing signals, using a synchronizer circuit, between a source circuit and a destination circuit that utilizes detection of when the destination circuit clock is turned off. In the method performed by the synchronizer circuit, a stop signal is received from the destination circuit that is generated upon determination that the destination clock in the destination circuit is turned off. A data signal from the source circuit is, upon receipt of the stop signal, prevented by the synchronizer circuit from being transmitted from the source circuit to the destination circuit. Then once a start signal is received in response to the destination circuit clock signal turning back on, the data signal is once again transmitted from the source circuit to the destination circuit by the synchronizer.
