In what cases do you need to double clock a signal before presenting it to a synchronous state mach..

Answer / amar

this situation basically arises when a signal does clock
domain crossing. to synchronize the clock with the target
domain clock and to avoid metastability issues synchronizers
which are like double clocking are used in designs

Answer / prashant patil

if the input signal is asynchronous with the clock (state
machine clock), then you need to double clock the same
signal to synchronize with the state machine clock.
