Abstract
An apparatus for transferring data blocks of variable lengths between intaces of different widths. The apparatus includes a series memory of the first-in, first-out type (FIFO) and an interface means at the input and output of the series memory. The interface means has a first means for storage of input data words and a second means for storage of output data words, the two storage means being of different storage capacity. Means are included for signalling to external devices when the first storage means and the series memory are empty and ready to receive data. Means are also included for controlling in response to an external signal the width of the output data words.
