Abstract

See full text

A two- to four-cycle handshake protocol conversion circuit suitable for on-chip implementation uses an exclusive-OR Gate and an AND Gate with one inverted input together with a latching circuit to generate the two-cycle handshake protocol acknowledge signal, A2, as a clocked version of the two-cycle handshake protocol request signal, R2, using the rising edge of the four-cycle handshake protocol acknowledge signal, A4, as the clocking input. The four-cycle handshake protocol request signal R4 is provided as the ANDed output of the complement of A4 combined with the output of the exclusive-OR Gate, the inputs of which are provided by R2 and A2. The latching network may be provided by a simple D flip-flop.
