Abstract

A Data Throttling method duplicates the full-speed transmission of data so that it appears to be transmitting at a 10 Mhz rate. Additional storage elements and multiplexers are added along the data path but this completely eliminates undesirable complexity in the clock tree. In a two-bit application, data is received and transmitted two bits at a time, and yet the output 10 Mhz data rate is maintained. For an even ratio between the system clock rate and the 10 Mhz clock signal rate, bitis transmitted for half the time and bitis transmitted for the other half of the time. But if the full-speed clock rate is an odd multiple of 10 Mhz, then there will be a 'split cycle' including one bitand one bit
