Interfaces to digital data recorders often require deep FIFO buffers to match the system's data rate to the recorder rate. Sometimes, a second set of FIFO buffers in the opposite direction handles ...

System designers have long used FIFO memories to couple subsystems with disparate data-transfer rates. Recently, new types of these devices–with new capabilities–have emerged. Know your FIFO choices ...

FIFO (First In First Out) is a buffer that stores data in a way that data stored first comes out of the buffer first. Asynchronous FIFO is most widely used in the System-on-Chip (SoC) designs for data ...
