Abstract
Unlike prior RAM-based shift register circuits, the presently-disclosed shift register circuit does not require control circuits to generate write and read address signals. Instead, the presently-disclosed shift register circuit utilizes a portion of RAM to store and provide the write and read address signals. The write and read addresses are output from the data output port of the RAM, and received by the write and read address ports of the RAM. Advantageously, the presently-disclosed shift register circuit requires less area to implement because the need for write and read control circuits is eliminated.
