A serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial data format converter has a plurality of first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer memory devices, an input circuit for receiving serial data bits, an output circuit for outputting serial data bits and a clocking circuit for clocking selected ones of the data bits into and out of selected ones of the FIFO buffer memory devices. The clocking circuit clocks serial data bits either into or out of each of the FIFO buffer memory devices at a rate slower than the rate of the receipt of the serial data bits by the input circuit, or the rate of the outputting of serial data bits by the output circuit, respectively.
