Abstract
A method and apparatus of synchronizing a serial bus data rate to a serial bus function data rate to eliminate the build up of overruns or underruns of data. A response is provided to a start of frame packet. The response packet contains a response code for indicating a modification to the serial bus frame counter. Thereby, slight variations in data rates can be eliminated by adjusting the serial bus data rate instead of the serial bus function data rate.
