Abstract
Synchronisation circuitrycomprises a first dynamic circuit stagegenerating a first stage state signal which is pulse amplified by pulse amplifying circuitryto generate a pulse amplified signal. The pulse amplified signal is supplied to a second dynamic circuit stagewhere it is used to control generation of a second stage state signal. The pulse amplifying circuitrycomprises a chain of serially connected skewed invertersThe action of the pulse amplifying circuitryis to reduce the probability of metastability in the output of the second dynamic stage
