Abstract

See full text

A multi-queue FIFO memory device that uses existing pins of the device to load a desired number of queues (N) into a queue number register is provided. The queue number register is coupled to a queue size look-up table (LUT), which provides a queue size value in response to the contents of the queue number register. The queue size value indicates the amount of memory (e.g., the number of memory blocks) to be included in each of the N queues. The queue size value is provided to a queue start/end address generator, which automatically generates the start and end address associated with each queue in response to the queue size value. These start and end addresses are stored in queue address register files, which enable proper memory read/write and flag counter operations.
