In the following scenario, the launch clock CLK1 is the fast clock and the capture clock CLK2 is the slow clock. See the following figure.

Figure 1. Multicycles Between FAST-to-SLOW Clocks

In the next example, the launch clock CLK1 is the fast clock. The capture clock CLK2 is the slow clock. Assume that CLK1 is three (3) times the frequency of CLK2. See the following figure.
