Abstract
A method and circuit are provided for asynchronously loading data in a first data buffer and a second data buffer and synchronously reading the data from the first data buffer and the second data buffer. A load data circuit may receive a plurality of input signals and output a first latch enable signal and a second latch enable signal. The load data circuit may asynchronously operate based on the input signals. The first latch enable signal may enable data to be loaded in the first data buffer and the second latch enable signal may enable data to be loaded in the second data buffer. A read data circuit may be coupled to the first data buffer and the second data buffer. The read data circuit may synchronously address the first data buffer and said second data buffer so as to read the data based on a synchronous clock signal.
