ABSTRACT:
A combination FIFO buffer and programmable shift register having asynchronous input and output capabilities comprises a three stage system which synchronizes the incoming data stream with the memory input clock, buffers the incoming data stream and provides a variable delay for the data. The digital data stream from an input device is received by an input synchronizer having its input clocked at the clock rate of the input device clock and its output clocked at a higher internal clock rate. The data is written into two FIFO buffers, a master and a slave. The master buffer controls the read and write addresses of both buffers, so that the write address of the buffers advances only when valid data is written into the buffers, and the read address advances only when data is read out of the buffers. The slave buffer can be programmed with an offset in its read address, so it operates as a delay buffer. The data is read out of the buffers into an output synchronizer, having its input clocked at the internal clock rate its output clocked at the clock rate of the memory control.
