Abstract: A communication interface (921) for interfacing a transmission circuit (901) with an interconnection network (701), wherein the transmission circuit (901) requests via a transmission request transmission of a predetermined amount of data. In particular, the communication interface (921) receives data segments from the transmission circuit (901), stores the data segments in a memory (922), and verifies whether the memory (922) contains the predetermined amount of data. In the case where the memory (922) contains the predetermined amount of data, the communication interface (921) starts transmission (924) of the data stored in the memory (922). Instead, in the case where the memory (922) contains an amount of data that is less than the predetermined amount of data, the communication interface (921) determines a parameter that identifies the time that has elapsed since the transmission request or the first datum received from the aforesaid transmission circuit, and verifies whether the time elapsed exceeds a time threshold. In the case where the time elapsed exceeds the time threshold, the communication interface (921) starts transmission (924) of the data stored in the memory.

Abstract: A clock generator in apparatus such as e.g. a microcontroller unit is calibrated by aligning at subsequent calibration times the frequency of a first clock (106) with respect to the frequency of a second clock (108) having a higher frequency accuracy than said first clock (106), with the frequency of the first clock (106) which h varies between subsequent calibration times. The frequency of the first clock (106) is aligned to a frequency which is offset by a certain amount with respect to the frequency of the second clock (108) in order counter frequency error which may accumulate over time due to the variation in the frequency of the first clock (106).
