Backpressure Definition
For Qsys Pro
Avalon® interfaces, backpressure is a mechanism by which

data, typically when its FIFOs are full or when there is congestion
on the connected output port. For
Avalon® streaming interfaces, a
sink signals a source to stop sending data by de-asserting the
ready
signal. For
Avalon® memory-mapped interfaces, a slave signals a
master by asserting waitrequest
