In one embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided for use in transmitting
data and related control information from a first clock domain to a second clock
domain. The system may include a first logic section that may generate respective
identification information that may be used to identify respective types of information
represented by respective data and related control information. The system may
also include memory that may receive and store, at a first clock rate used in the
first clock domain, the respective data and related control information. The memory
also may store, in association with the respective data and related control information,
the respective identification information. The memory may be configured to permit
the retrieval, at a second clock rate used in the second clock domain, of the respective
data, the respective related control information, and the respective identification
information stored in the memory.
