Abstract
An apparatus may include: first circuitry configured to operate at a first frequency; second circuitry configured to operate at a second frequency that is different from the first frequency, where the second circuitry is for receiving input from, and for providing output to, the first circuitry; and logic that bridges the first circuitry and the second circuitry. The logic to enables the second circuitry to appear to run an integer number of cycles of the first frequency, and operates by receiving first signals at the first frequency and generating second signals at the second frequency, where the second signals are for triggering operations performed by the second circuitry. The apparatus may also include an output buffer circuit bridging the first circuitry and the second circuitry.
