First-in, first-out (FIFO) memory with moving boundary

摘要

A FIFO memory having multiple buffer areas formed therein, and boundary pointers for defining the size of each buffer area. The FIFO memory also includes a controller operable for dynamically varying the value of each boundary pointer in accordance with the amount of incoming data to be stored in a given buffer area during the operation of the device so as to allow for maximum utilization of the memory space.
