Abstract
An apparatus includes circuitry configured to receive a fill level from N first-in, first-out (FIFOs), N is an integer that is greater than or equal to 1, determine a module clock speed based on the fill level, and program a phase lock loop (PLL) based on the determined module clock speed where the PLL provides a module clock at the module clock speed to a packet processing circuit configured to receive packets from the N FIFOs. A packet processing module includes N FIFOs. N is an integer that is greater than or equal to 1; a programming state machine configured to receive a fill level from the N FIFOs and to program a PLL based thereon; and a packet processing circuit configured to receive packets from the N FIFOs, wherein the packet processing circuit receives a module clock from the PLL with a speed determined by the programming state machine.
