Abstract
A method and apparatus for synchronizing a synchronizing clock is disclosed for use in synchronizing a high-speed memory bus with a second, heritage memory bus. This method and apparatus includes generating an initial synchronizing clock from a reference clock of the high-speed memory bus. It then includes receiving a synchronizing packet on the high-speed memory bus utilizing the initial synchronizing clock. Finally, it includes delaying a clock transition of the initial synchronizing clock in response to the received data of the synchronizing packet.
