Abstract

A variable length shift register comprises a memory cell array (1) having memory cells arranged in a matrix of row and columns, a variable length ring pointer (2) responsive to a bit length selecting signal for sequentially activating a single row in the memory cell array in a recirculated manner within a predetermined constant range, an input buffer (4) for writing data into a memory cell of the activated row, and an output buffer (5) for reading out data from a memory cell of the activated row.
