WAVE PIPELINE INCLUDING SYNCHRONOUS STAGE

Abstract:

A wave pipeline includes a data path and a clock path. The data path includes a plurality of wave pipeline data stages and a synchronous data stage. The synchronous data stage includes a first data latch to latch the data from the synchronous data stage. The synchronous data stage is between a first wave pipeline data stage of the plurality of wave pipeline data stages and a second wave pipeline data stage of the plurality of wave pipeline data stages. The clock path corresponds to the plurality of wave pipeline data stages. The first data latch latches the data from the synchronous data stage in response to a clock signal on the clock path.
