Abstract:
A method for performing a synchronous clocking of a first clock-dependant processing unit connected to a second clock-dependant processing unit, the method comprising the step of:providing a first clock-dependant processing unit, receiving an incoming data signal to process and providing a first data signal; providing a second clock-dependant processing unit, receiving the first data signal and providing a second data signal; providing a main clock signal to each of the two clock-dependant processing units; providing an interblock synchronization signal to one of said clock-dependant processing unit by another one of said clock-dependant processing units having a processing speed substantially lower than the one clock-dependant processing unit when the first clock-dependant processing unit is ready to provide the first data signal to the second clock-dependant processing unit; wherein the providing of an interblock synchronization signal when the first clock-dependant processing unit is ready to provide the first data signal to the second clock-dependant processing unit enables a synchronous clocking of the first clock-dependant processing unit connected to the second clock-dependant processing unit.
