Abstract

Transaction requests requesting a service from the slave device are received from a master device at a transaction interface. The transaction requests are selectively issued to the bus system under control of an issue control circuit. A target outstanding transaction value N.x is received at a control interface. The target outstanding transaction value has an integer portion N and a fractional portion x. The issue control circuit controls the transaction interface to issue the transaction requests to the bus system in dependence upon the target outstanding transaction value so that a time averaged number of outstanding transaction requests corresponds to the target outstanding transaction value.
