Abstract

A memory includes a plurality of first-in-first-out (FIFO) cells, an output pointer counter, a write training block and a multiplexer. The output pointer counter is for switching a value of a FIFO output pointer among the FIFO cells. The write training block is for generating information for shifting the FIFO output pointer based on data read from the FIFO cells. The multiplexer is for receiving the value of the FIFO output pointer from the output pointer counter. The multiplexer is also for receiving the multiplexing information for shifting the FIFO output pointer. The multiplexer is further for shifting the value of the FIFO output pointer based on the multiplexing information.
