Abstract
A FIFO memory using one of the ports of a RAM having two or more ports for writing and another port for reading is disclosed. Writing into the FIFO memory is done instantly, while reading from the FIFO memory is effected by holding the output of the preliminarily accessed RAM until the end of a reading operation. The output of the RAM is updated by a request from outside and according to the state of the FIFO memory, and this operation is done simultaneously with reading or writing.
