ABSTRACT:
The invention provides fast generation of flag signals for devices such as a first-in first-out buffers by looking ahead and predetermining flag signals for future possible states of the device. Predetermining flag signals does not delay flag output because the required calculations are completed before the flag signal is needed. The flag signal can be changed when needed as quickly as a multiplexer can switch from an old flag signal to a predetermined flag signal. The switching time of a multiplexer is shorter than the comparator delays in prior art flag generators.
