Abstract
A method and apparatus for writing data onto the read bitline when a FIFO buffer memory is nearly empty that includes circuitry detecting when a memory is nearly empty, when the read pointer and the write pointer are on the same line with the read pointer behind the write pointer. Another circuit writes data onto the read bitline as the data is written into the buffer memory.
