Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a First In First Out memory which comprises a register, an input control section, a register control section, and an output control section. The imput control section allows data to be entered into the First In First Out memory while the register control section shifts the data through the memory queing up at the locations closest to the output. The output control allows data to be taken out of the FIFO at a different rate than data is entered into the memory by the input control section. The register control section monitors the succeeding location and the previous location in the register to determine when data may be shifted in the register.
