Abstract
Abstract Apparatus which includes a pair of inverters, a NOR-gate and three up/down counters is connected to a source of asynchronous data signals and a source of oscillator signals. The apparatus uses the data signals and the oscillator signals to develop timing signals that are synchronized with the asynchronous data signals.
