Patent Searching and Data


Title:
DATA TRANSFER SYNCHRONIZING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3645584
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To decrease an error, and to attain synchronous data transfer across an area boundary by using two single stage synchronous FIFO first-in first-out and N-2 stage multistage asynchronous FIFO instead of an N word multistage FIFO memory device.
CONSTITUTION: Data and a writing signal are added to a first FIFO first-in first-out 12. When the writing signal is asserted, FIFO 12, 14, and 16 capture the data of DATAIN in the next rising edge of a clock signal. For example, the FIFO 12 connects an nEMPTY signal with the writing terminal of the following FIFO 14. For example, the FIFO 14 connects an nFULL signal with the reading terminal of the preceding FIFO 12, and connects the DATAOUT of its own (the FIFO 14) with the DATAIN of the following FIFO 16. Thus, serial connection can be attained. At a reception side, a reading signal is asserted, and data are read from the data output so that the data can be read from the second single stage FIFO 16. The data are written by one clock pulse.
