Abstract:
Operation of a memory with a plurality of locations (101, 102, 103), such as a FIFO buffer memory envisages: - writing the data (D1, D2) at input to the memory in a single write location (101); and - making the single write location (101) available for writing an input datum (D1, D2) with a shift of the datum written in the single write location (101) to another location (102) of the memory. At each operation of writing of an input datum (D1, D2) in the single write location (101), there is scheduled shifting of the datum written therein to another location (102), without waiting for a new write request, thus eliminating the combinational constraint between the two operations.
