Abstract
An elasticity buffer has a reset input that, when activated, causes the elasticity buffer to temporarily cease operation. When the reset input bit is released, the elasticity buffer may resume operation. During periods when a device on a serial bus may be halted for power saving mode, for example, the serial communication may be reestablished and then the elasticity buffer may be released to continue operation.
