difference between ram and fifo

Hi members i have one basic doubt

can any body explain the difference between RAM & FIFO...
 

difference between fifo&sram

FIFO - first in first out --- u can use ram for the fifo but it shud follow the FIFO concept. Next read address shud be prev read pointer + 1 only n same with Write pointer.

Most of the designs, they won't use Ram, due to its 2 clks delay while writing it and also the error probability...
Register Array is best suits for the FIFO implementation...
 

what is difference between fifo and ram

hii.........

FIFO=first input first output..
i.e. the first input data is can be retrive first...
while in case of RAM
RAM= random access memory
i.e. u can access any location of m/m.while its not possible in case of FIFO.bcoz in fifo 1st input can only n only retrive first conditionally........

hope u r more clear now........!!

difference between fifo and ram

That are two different type. A FIFO can use RAM as its storage area, or it can use registers as well as NV memory.
 

difference between fifo and register

adding more to all the posts above....


FIFO does not have address input, it takes care of that on its own.
It has counters(gray usually) for address generation.
memory has the address input.
 

fifo concept

fifo has pointer :)

RAM is provided with addr.

can we use FIFO as RAM? or vice-versa?
 
can any one please explain that what is difference between fifo and registers.

except telling first in first out or pointer.
any technical difference
