Data transmission on multiple clock domains will face reliable problems. The conventional globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) technique can resolve the problem but has a high latency problem. In this paper, we present a novel asynchronous transmission technique called quasi-synchronous with an adaptive phase mechanism to reduce the transmission latency. Compared with the conventional GALS techniques, the proposed technique saves 50%83% of latency. It is implemented on standard-cell library by using TSMC 0.18um 1P6M CMOS technology.
