摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for docking data processing modules, which require differing average clock frequencies, transferring between the modules. This comprises a means providing common dock signal to Clock pulses deleted from individual modules in dependence on frequency required by each module. applied is be transferred at times consistent with transfer.
