Abstract
Within an integrated circuit () independently controllable domains () may be unable to complete pending transactions taking place between domains. Each domain is provided with a state machine () which is responsive to the state of the state machine within the other domain and when this indicates that the other domain is not communicating triggers modified behavior. This can provide that the predetermined transaction protocol is not broken and/or complete a partially completed transaction when the domain concerned has recovered from an error or other event which disrupted the communication.
