use of lockup latch is for resolve hold violation but doubt is that the when neg. edge flop followed by pose. edge flop both have different clock then lockup-latch is required or not ???
Positive, negative edge have nothing to do with it.
The problem is non-determinstic, non-stable phase
relation between clocks.
A negative edge FF followed by a positive edge FF
will do the metastability-scrubbing job if the two
"different" clocks are same frequency and have a
fixed phase relation (as would, say, two branches
of the same master clock source / clock product).
Provided that regular old timing margin is met,
Clkb-Q1-Clk-Q2.
