Abstract
A device and method for transferring data is disclosed that facilitates data transfers between devices having different clock domains. The data transfer from one device to another occurs through a First In First Out memory (FIFO). The relative number of FIFO access cycles to the FIFO is controlled to maintain a desired FIFO fullness. Setting the desired FIFO fullness to a desired value allows control of data transfer latency between devices.
