A system-on-chip (SoC) may include a master, a slave, and an asynchronous interface having a first first-in first-out (FIFO) memory connected to the master and the slave. A write operation of the FIFO memory is controlled based upon a comparison of a write pointer and an expected write pointer of the FIFO memory, and a read operation of the FIFO memory is controlled based upon a comparison of a read pointer and an expected read pointer of the FIFO.
