Abstract
A system and method for controlling output buffer drive enable signals on a parallel terminated bus is described. The method includes transferring data between a first agent and a second agent, tracking outstanding data requests from the first agent with at least one synchronous counter, tracking outstanding data replies from the second agent with a source synchronous counter, and driving a signal on the parallel terminated bus when the synchronous and source synchronous counters match.
