Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a first-in-first-out (FIFO) circuit having a memory block and a logic circuit. The memory block includes an array of memory cells configured to be able to store N data entries in a FIFO order (N is a positive integer). The logic circuit is configured to compare input data with previously input data to detect a number of consecutive identical entries of input data, and suppress an operation of selected memory cells when the number is larger than N.
