Abstract
A technique is disclosed for interlocking FIFO data paths. The data paths are interlocked using a series of control elements which receive input signals not only from the other control elements of their own path, but also from control elements of an adjacent data path. Queues may also be employed between the FIFO control chains to provide greater freedom in the interlocking mechanism.
