Abstract

A system-on-chip is provided which includes a data producer; a FIFO buffer which stores data transferred from the data producer at a memory area corresponding to a write pointer; a first consumer which pops data of a memory area corresponding to a first read pointer of the FIFO buffer out; and a second consumer which pops data of a memory area corresponding to a second read pointer of the FIFO buffer out. The FIFO buffer requests a pop-out operation at the second consumer according to the difference between the write pointer and the first read pointer or overwrites data provided from the data producer at a memory area corresponding to the second read pointer.
