Abstract
In one embodiment, transceiver circuitry includes a first-in-first-out (FIFO) circuit and a control logic circuit. The FIFO circuit receives data signals based on a first clock frequency and outputs stored data signals based on a second clock frequency. The stored data signals are transmitted out of the FIFO circuit only in response to a difference between a value of a write pointer of the FIFO circuit and a value of a read pointer of the FIFO circuit exceeding an empty threshold limit of the FIFO circuit. The control logic circuit may be utilized to adjust the empty threshold limit of the FIFO circuit.
