Abstract
A fill level control apparatus configured to control the average fill level of an asynchronous first-in-first-out, FIFO, the fill level control apparatus comprising an offset calculation unit adapted to or configured to calculate the offset between a programmable target average fill level and the current average fill level of the FIFO and an adjustment unit adapted to or configured to adjust continuously the empty rate of the FIFO in response to the calculated offset to keep the average fill level of the FIFO constant.
