Abstract

A data synchronizer is provided for synchronizing data across two different clock domains in a manner that avoids additive jitter. The data synchronizer includes a synchronizer inputting a sampling clock and a data clock, and outputting an edge pulse. A synchronizer jitter lockout circuit inputs the edge pulse and the sampling clock and outputs a data sampling enable signal which never coincides with a data transition.
