High speed, very large (8 megabyte) first in/first out buffer memory (FIFO)

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5956802

This patent describes a fast FIFO (First In First Out) memory buffer capable of storing data at rates of 100 megabytes per second. The invention includes a data packer which concatenates small bit data words into large bit data words, a memory array having individual data storage addresses adapted to store the large bit data words, a data unpacker into which large bit data words from the array can be read and reconstructed into small bit data words, and a controller to control and keep track of the individual data storage and addresses in the memory array into which data from the packer is being written and data to the unpacker is being read.
