Abstract:
An apparatus to arbitrate data transfer between a computing host and a storage device across an interface includes a data transfer limiter configured to track an amount of data credits used by a data transfer across the interface and an amount of accrued data credits available to the interface. The apparatus further includes a data transfer arbiter configured to selectively disable the data transfer across the interface when the amount of data credits used by the data transfer across the interface exceeds a first threshold, and to selectively enable the data transfer across the interface when the amount of data credits used by the data transfer across the interface does not exceed a second threshold. The amount of accrued data credits reduces the amount of data credits used by the data transfer.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the step of selectively enabling and selectively disabling, by a read data transfer arbiter, the read data transfer across the interface comprises the steps of:\n storing a first read threshold, the first read threshold defined by a maximum amount of read data credits, expressed in units of bytes, that the interface can support; storing a second read threshold, the second read threshold defined by a predetermined maximum amount of read data credits, expressed in units of bytes totaling less than the first read threshold, beyond which resumption of read data transfer across the interface is not permitted following a disabling of the read data transfer across the interface; disabling the read data transfer across the interface when the amount of used read data credits exceeds the first read threshold; and enabling resumption of read data transfer across the interface, following a disabling of the read data transfer across the interface, when the amount of used read data credits does not exceed the second read threshold, wherein the amount of accrued read data credits reduces an amount of read data credits used by the read data transfer.
