Abstract
A method and an apparatus for synchronizing clock domains. A slow clock signal is received. A circuit in a slow clock domain is operated based upon the slow clock signal. A fast clock signal is received. The slow clock signal is synchronized using the fast clock signal. The operation of the circuit is modified from the slow clock domain to the fast clock domain, modifying the operation comprising changing a clock operation frequency during a non-transition period of the slow clock.
