Abstract

A communication apparatus including a digital processing circuit coupled to a radio frequency (RF) circuit and to a serial communications device. The serial communications device may be configured to buffer data communicated between the digital processing circuit and an external device. A portion of the serial communications device may be disabled during an active mode of operation of the RF circuit. The serial communications device may include a flow control logic circuit configured to control a data stream between the digital processing circuit and the external device while a portion of the serial communications device is disabled. In some embodiments, a portion of the digital processing circuit may be disabled during an active mode of operation of the RF circuit.
