Abstract:
One or more techniques are provided for the synchronization of asynchronous signals without the use of an external system clock. In one embodiment, an asynchronous synchronization device is provided and configured to synchronize one or more asynchronous signals to an internal clock signal provided by an internal clock generator. The internal clock generator may be enabled upon detecting inputs on the one or more asynchronous signals, and disabled once the one or more asynchronous inputs are synchronized with the internal clock signal. Thus, the internal clock signal is provided only for a duration required to synchronize the one or more asynchronous signals. Embodiments of the asynchronous synchronization device, as disclosed herein, may be implemented in a processor-based device and/or a memory device.
