Abstract
Synchronizing output from timed circuits includes receiving a first clock signal having a first frequency at a first timed circuit. A first sequence of first circuit values is retrieved from the first timed circuit, and first count values are periodically inserted into the first sequence using a first counter. A second clock signal having a second frequency is received at a second timed circuit, where the first frequency corresponds to a multiple of the second frequency. A second sequence of second circuit values is retrieved from the second timed circuit and second count values are periodically inserted into the second sequence using a second counter. The first sequence can be synchronized with the second sequence according to the first count values, the second count values, and the multiple.
