Abstract
A handshake circuit portion for performing a handshake procedure to facilitate data reception by an associated circuit portion is provided. The handshake circuit portion comprises a request signal input for detecting a request signal from a further handshake circuit portion associated with a further circuit portion, an acknowledge signal output for asserting an acknowledge signal for the further handshake circuit portion, and a blocking signal input for detecting a blocking signal from the associated circuit portion. The handshake circuit portion is arranged to detect a request signal via the request signal input, determine if a blocking signal is present on the blocking signal input, and if a blocking signal is not present on the blocking signal input, respond to the request signal by asserting an acknowledge signal via the acknowledge signal output.
