Abstract
An apparatus for limiting a data transfer bandwidth through handshake suppression is configured to generate a first reset signal, generate a second reset signal a predetermined number of clock cycles after generating the first reset signal, generate a handshake count representing a number of receptions, between the first reset signal and the second reset signal, of a first Ready to Send (“RTS”) handshake signal and a first Ready to Receive (“RTR”) handshake signal, and disable a second RTR handshake signal and the first RTS handshake signal based on a comparison of the handshake count and a maximum value.
