Control circuitry and adjustable clock signal generation circuitry is provided to control the signal transmission rate for electronic devices and systems of electronic devices. The control circuitry may receive status signals indicating current clock rates of a signal transmitting and receiving circuit as well as current processing capacity from the signal receiving circuit. The control circuitry may then generate control signals which control adjustable clock signal generation circuitry. The adjustable clock signal generation circuitry may be used to adjust the rate of generated clock signals for the signal transmitting and receiving circuits which can increase or decrease the signal transmission rate between those circuits.
