Abstract
Sampled analog data are transferred between sampled analog circuits operating on respective local phase clocks which are triggered by a master clock. In response to a first (DATA READY) signal from an upstream sampled analog circuit, the sampled analog data are transferred from an upstream sampled analog circuit to a data transfer circuit. In response to a second (READY FOR DATA) signal from a downstream sampled analog circuit, the sampled data are transferred from the data transfer circuit to the downstream sampled analog circuit. The sampled data are delayed in the data transfer circuit for at least one master clock cycle when the second signal from the downstream sampled analog circuit is received before the first signal is received from the upstream sampled analog circuit.
