摘要： Disclosed is an apparatus and method for transferring data from a directly from peripheral computer device to a computer via a universal serial bus. The disclosed method and apparatus can also compress the transferred data. The apparatus can include a Serial Interface Engine (SIE) connected with the computer and having a latch and a First-In-First-Out memory (FIFO) connected to the latch of the SIE. The FIFO temporarily stores data from the peripheral computer device and transfers the data to the latch of the SIE. A read input of the latch is driven at a first clock frequency and an output of the FIFO is driven at a second clock frequency. The second clock frequency is at least intermittently higher than the first clock frequency. Thus, a portion of the data placed on the output of the FIFO at the second clock frequency is not read into the latch. This allows data to be compressed as it is transferred from the FIFO to the SIE.
