摘要

A method for converting a multiple-phase circuit to single-clock-edge circuit includes the steps of receiving a data signal at an input terminal, receiving a system clock signal having a system clock frequency and receiving a phase clock signal having a frequency divided from the system clock frequency. The data signal is transferred to an output terminal when the phase clock signal is active and latched upon the occurrence of an edge transition of the system clock signal when the phase clock signal is active. When the phase clock signal is inactive, the latched data signal is latched again upon the occurrence of the edge transition of the system clock signal. The latched data signal is transferred to the output terminal when the phase clock signal is inactive.
