Quotations

• 1995, Harry J. R. Dutton, Peter Lenhard, Asynchronous Transfer Mode:

  If two isochronous bit streams have no precisely controlled relationship, but have exactly the same bit rate, they are called mesochronous

• 2003, Axel Jantsch, Hannu Tenhunen, Networks on a Chip:

  The Quasi-synchronous distribution should not be confused with a Mesochronous distribution, ie, a synchronous clock with the same frequency but with a random, static, phase difference . . .
