Term Definition double transition Increases the data line frequency to equal that of the request signal, allowing sampling on clocking both the leading and trailing edges of the request signal. Clocking can be set to ensure compatibility with legacy devices. flow control The target indicates to the initiator when the last packet of a data stream will be transferred so that the initiator can flush FIFOs and terminate pre-fetch sooner than previously possible.
