Abstract
An example relates to a method for accessing data of a first domain that is driven by a first clock via a second clock, comprising at least one of the following: accessing the data of the first domain via the second clock during a time when the first clock is in a first logical state. An edge indicating a transition from a second logical state to the first logical is used to access data via the first clock, or accessing the data of the first domain via the second clock at edges of the first clock that are synchronized with edges of the second clock.

17. A device comprising:
-
a first domain comprising first clock circuit configured to generate a first clock signal and a memory configured to store data to be accessed; and a second domain comprising a second clock circuit configured to generate a second clock signal and a second processing unit, the second processing unit coupled to the memory; wherein the first clock signal and the second clock signal are set to a defined phase-relation for accessing the data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24)
