Abstract
Data is transmitted between a first device and a second device connected by the communications channel in a computer system. The first device generates a first clock and the second device generates a second clock. The first clock is provided to the second device and the second clock is provided to the first device. Data received by the first device over the communications channel from the second device is synchronized to the first clock. The receiving logic in the first device includes a first-in-first-out buffer The received data is stored in a first-in-first-out buffer until the data is synchronized to the first clock. The first and second clocks have the same frequency.
