Why double synchronizer alone is not enough for multi byte transfer between two clock domains?
When one bit information is transferred between two different clock domains, we use 2 Flip-flops or double synchronizers. But when we transfer multi bit signals across two different clock domains, why ...

Can I use 2 Flop synchronizer to migrate a pulse from one clock domain to another provided that clocks phase shifted but of same frequency?
I want to migrate this signal from CLKA to CLKB. Frequencies of both the clocks are same but they are out of phase.
Can 2-Flop synchronizer be used for this? Please note that the signal can be low/...
