ABSTRACT:
A FIFO is formed from a plurality of modules each of which comprises a memory section and a control section. A FIFO of arbitrary size can be constructed simply by connecting a desired number of modules. The control section of each module is simple and efficient and enables a FIFO to be easily implemented as part of an integrated circuit. The control section of each module comprises four flip-flops for outputting a write pointer, a read pointer, an EMPTY* flag and a FULL* flag, which flags enable the control section of a module to determine if the FIFO as a whole is empty or full.
