Abstract
For coupling a digital signal between two asynchronous transmission paths, an asynchronous connecting device includes a serial-to-parallel converter for converting the digital signal into parallel words, a first latch for latching the parallel words at a rate synchronized to the first transmission path, a second latch for latching the output of the first latch at a rate synchronized to the second transmission path, and a parallel-to-serial converter for converting the output of the second latch into a serial digital signal to be transmitted along the second transmission path. It is preferable that the sampling rate of the second latch be higher than that of the first latch, and it is also possible to smooth the second latch output prior to converting it to serial data.
