Abstract
A method and circuit are provided for controlling access of two synchronous busses with asynchronous clocks to a synchronous single port Random Access Memory (RAM). In one preferred method, the clock of bus A is switched off via a control flip-flop and then the clock of bus B is switched on, allowing the control and data signals to pass through simple multiplexers. Bus B becomes the owner of the RAM. Later, the clock of bus B is switched off via the control flip-flop and then clock of bus A is switched on, such that bus A becomes owner of the bus. This allows any relative speed between the bus clocks.
