Abstract

See full text

Frequency differences between differing clock sources are compensated for by an adaptive filtering mechanism. An amount of frequency drift between two clock sources is determined. Then, based on that amount of frequency drift, a filtering value is selected to be used in tracking the frequency drift. If the frequency drift is determined to be large, then a minimum filtering value is selected. However, if it is determined to be small, then a maximum filtering value is selected. The selected filtering value is used to adjust the address(es) of one or more data bits being transmitted and received using the two clock sources, such that the frequency drift is properly tracked.
