Abstract
An asynchronous FIFO (firstin, firstout) device suitable for use as a buffer comprises a stack having a plurality of sections. Each section has a data storage register and a control subassembly. Each assembly is associated with one of said data storage registers. A single data input is connected to the first data storage register. The data storage registers have a transparent condition and a latched condition and each subassembly comprises a 2-to-1 MUX (multiplexer) having a first input connected to receive a logic signal indicative of the condition of the preceding subassembly, a second input connected to receive a logic signal indicative of the condition of the following subassembly and an output connected to the associated storage register. The MUX is constructed to deliver on its output a signal representative of the condition of the subassembly and its internal connections are determined by the logic level of the output signal of the MUX.
