An asynchronous data transmission device includes a data reception
terminal receiving data clocked by a sampling signal in synchronization
with a local clock signal. A register is connected to the data reception
terminal for receiving the data. A clock deviation measuring circuit is
connected to the register for determining a number M of periods of the
sampling signal appearing during K periods of a synchronization signal
received on the data reception terminal, and for comparing the number M
to a tolerance margin defined by a lower threshold and an upper
threshold.
