Zusammenfassung:Disclosed examples include interrupt handling circuitry and methods for managing interrupts of a fast clock domain circuit operated according to a first clock signal by a slow clock domain circuit operated according to a second clock signal in which an interrupt generator circuit generates an interrupt input signal synchronized to the second clock signal, and an interrupt clear circuit selectively resets the interrupt generator circuit in response to an acknowledgment signal from the first circuit asynchronously with respect to the second clock signal.
