First-In First-Out (FIFO) memory device is disclosed. A ring pointer circuit sequentially and repeatedly selects memory cells in a memory cell array. When it is detected that a defective memory cell exists on a memory cell row, selection of that memory cell row is invalidated by the ring pointer circuit by cutting off a laser trimming line. In addition, by selectively cutting off laser trimming lines in a switching circuit and a redundancy ring pointer circuit, a redundancy memory cell row is selectively added in place of the defective memory cell row. Accordingly, stages required for the ring pointer circuit are maintained. In other words, the FIFO memory device having a defective memory cell is saved, resulting in improvement in yield in the manufacture.
