Abstract
A method and circuit providing for an accurate sampling of data on a high speed bus in a computer system. Utilizing a single clock source, functional units that are capable of supporting two clock input sources, and a routing technique that provides for a receiving unit to be clocked prior to a transmitting unit, data transfer can occur reliably and economically on a high speed bus. Synchronization within a particular unit is accomplished by providing serial edge-triggered registers that are triggered by the respective clock inputs.
