Abstract
A data transfer mechanism for a serial interface is provided whereby data transfer may be precisely controlled, eliminating the need for significant buffering. The data transfer mechanism also provides for flexible data transfer in either a byte mode or a burst mode so as to accommodate any of various telecommunications devices having a range of capabilities and data rates, and minimizes host involvement in the data transfer operation.
