Abstract
A data transmission buffer circuit is provided for buffering communication data, which is divided into a plurality of multiple-bit data frames that have a start and an end. The buffer circuit includes a first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer and a frame counter. The FIFO buffer has a write port and a read port. The write port includes a data input, a write control input and an end-of-frame flag input, which indicates whether data on the data input includes the end of one of the data frames. The read port includes a data output, a read control input, and an end-of-frame flag output, which indicates whether data on the data output includes the end of one of the data frames. The frame counter is coupled to the write port and the read port and generates a frame count output that represents a number of the data frames stored in the FIFO buffer.
