Hi All,

Could anyone please clarify my doubt.

What is the difference between FIFO and Buffer in terms of hardware design

Regards,
Viya
 

A buffer is just a general term for many types of storage.
A FIFO is a buffer that stores data in a queue, so that the first data word written will also be the first one read. (First In First Out)
