DESCRIPTION:
The IDT72421/72201/72211/72221/72231/72241/72251 SyncFIFO™
are very high-speed, low-power First-In, First-Out (FIFO) memories with
clocked read and write controls. These devices have a 64, 256, 512, 1,024,
2,048, 4,096, and 8,192 x 9-bit memory array, respectively. These FIFOs are
applicable for a wide variety of data buffering needs such as graphics, local area
networks and interprocessor communication.
These FIFOs have 9-bit input and output ports. The input port is controlled
by a free-running clock (WCLK), and two write enable pins (WEN1, WEN2).
Data is written into the Synchronous FIFO on every rising clock edge when the
write enable pins are asserted. The output port is controlled by another clock
pin (RCLK) and two read enable pins (REN1,
REN2).
The Read Clock can
be tied to the Write Clock for single clock operation or the two clocks can run
asynchronous of one another for dual-clock operation. An output enable pin
(OE) is provided on the read port for three-state control of the output.
The Synchronous FIFOs have two fixed flags, Empty (EF) and Full (FF).
Two programmable flags, Almost-Empty (PAE) and Almost-Full (PAF), are
provided for improved system control. The programmable flags default to
Empty+7 and Full-7 for
PAE
and
PAF,
respectively. The programmable flag
offset loading is controlled by a simple state machine and is initiated by asserting
the load pin (LD).
These FIFOs are fabricated using IDT’s high-speed submicron CMOS
technology.

Description
I Data inputs for a 9-bit bus.
I When
RS
is set LOW, internal read and write pointers are set to the first location of the RAM array,
FF
and
PAF
go HIGH, and
PAE
and
EF
go LOW. A reset is required before an initial WRITE after power-up.
I Data is written into the FIFO on a LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK when the Write Enable(s) are asserted.
I If the FIFO is configured to have programmable flags,
WEN1
is the only write enable pin. When
WEN1
is
LOW, data is written into the FIFO on every LOW-to-HIGH transition WCLK. If the FIFO is configured to have
two write enables,
WEN1
must be LOW and WEN2 must be HIGH to write data into the FIFO. Data will not be
written into the FIFO if the
FF
is LOW.
I The FIFO is configured at reset to have either two write enables or programmable flags. If WEN2/
LD
is
HIGH at reset, this pin operates as a second write enable. If WEN2/
LD
is LOW at reset, this pin operates as a
control to load and read the programmable flag offsets. If the FIFO is configured to have two write enables,
WEN1
must be LOW and WEN2 must be HIGH to write data into the FIFO. Data will not be written into the
FIFO if the
FF
is LOW. If the FIFO is configured to have programmable flags, WEN2/
LD
is held LOW to write
or read the programmable flag offsets.
O Data outputs for a 9-bit bus.
I Data is read from the FIFO on a LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK when
REN1
and
REN2
are asserted.
I When
REN1
and
REN2
are LOW, data is read from the FIFO on every LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK.
Data will not be read from the FIFO if the
EF
is LOW.
I When
REN1
and
REN2
are LOW, data is read from the FIFO on every LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK.
Data will not be read from the FIFO if the
EF
is LOW.
I When
OE
is LOW, the data output bus is active. If
OE
is HIGH, the output data bus will be in a high-impedance
state.
O When
EF
is LOW, the FIFO is empty and further data reads from the output are inhibited. When
EF
is HIGH,
the FIFO is not empty.
EF
is synchronized to RCLK.
O When
PAE
is LOW, the FIFO is almost-empty based on the offset programmed into the FIFO. The default
offset at reset is Empty+7.
PAE
is synchronized to RCLK.
O When
PAF
is LOW, the FIFO is almost-full based on the offset programmed into the FIFO. The default offset
at reset is Full-7.
PAF
is synchronized to WCLK.
O When
FF
is LOW, the FIFO is full and further data writes into the input are inhibited. When
FF
is HIGH, the FIFO
is not full.
FF
is synchronized to WCLK.
One +5 volt power supply pin.

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
TEMPERATURE RANGES
SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
INPUTS:
DATA IN (D0 - D8)
Data inputs for 9-bit wide data.
OUTPUT ENABLE (OE)
When Output Enable (OE) is enabled (LOW), the parallel output buffers
receive data from the output register. When Output Enable (OE) is disabled
(HIGH), the Q output data bus is in a high-impedance state.
WRITE ENABLE 2/LOAD (WEN2/LD)
This is a dual-purpose pin. The FIFO is configured at Reset to have
programmable flags or to have two write enables, which allows depth expansion.
If Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is set HIGH at Reset (RS = LOW), this pin
operates as a second write enable pin.
If the FIFO is configured to have two write enables, when Write Enable
(WEN1) is LOW and Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is HIGH, data can be
loaded into the input register and RAM array on the LOW-to-HIGH transition
of every Write Clock (WCLK). Data is stored in the RAM array sequentially and
independently of any ongoing read operation.
In this configuration, when Write Enable (WEN1) is HIGH and/or Write
Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is LOW, the input register holds the previous data
and no new data is allowed to be loaded into the register.
To prevent data overflow, the Full Flag (FF) will go LOW, inhibiting further
write operations. Upon the completion of a valid read cycle, the Full Flag (FF)
will go HIGH after t
WFF
, allowing a valid write to begin. Write Enable 1 (WEN1)
and Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) are ignored when the FIFO is full.
The FIFO is configured to have programmable flags when the Write Enable
2/Load (WEN2/LD) is set LOW at Reset (RS=LOW). The IDT72421/72201/
72211/72221/72231/72241/72251 devices contain four 8-bit offset registers
which can be loaded with data on the inputs, or read on the outputs. See Figure
3 for details of the size of the registers and the default values.
If the FIFO is configured to have programmable flags when the Write Enable
1 (WEN1) and Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) are set LOW, data on the inputs
D is written into the Empty (Least Significant Bit) Offset register on the first LOW-
to-HIGH transition of the Write Clock (WCLK). Data is written into the Empty (Most
Significant Bit) Offset register on the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Write
Clock (WCLK), into the Full (Least Significant Bit) Offset register on the third
transition, and into the Full (Most Significant Bit) Offset register on the fourth
transition. The fifth transition of the Write Clock (WCLK) again writes to the Empty
(Least Significant Bit) Offset register.
However, writing all offset registers does not have to occur at one time. One
or two offset registers can be written and then by bringing the Write Enable 2/
Load (WEN2/LD) pin HIGH, the FIFO is returned to normal read/write
operation. When the Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) pin is set LOW, the Write
Enable 1 (WEN1) is LOW, the next offset register in sequence is written.
CONTROLS:
RESET (RS)
Reset is accomplished whenever the Reset (RS) input is taken to a LOW
state. During reset, both internal read and write pointers are set to the first
location. A reset is required after power-up before a write operation can take
place. The Full Flag (FF) and Programmable Almost-Full flag (PAF) will be reset
to HIGH after tRSF. The Empty Flag (EF) and Programmable Almost-Empty
flag (PAE) will be reset to LOW after tRSF. During reset, the output register is
initialized to all zeros and the offset registers are initialized to their default values.
WRITE CLOCK (WCLK)
A write cycle is initiated on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Write Clock
(WCLK). Data setup and hold times must be met in respect to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of WCLK. The Full Flag (FF) and Programmable Almost-Full flag
(PAF) are synchronized with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK.
The Write and Read Clocks can be asynchronous or coincident.
WRITE ENABLE 1 (WEN1)
If the FIFO is configured for programmable flags, Write Enable 1 (WEN1)
is the only enable control pin. In this configuration, when Write Enable 1 (WEN1)
is LOW, data can be loaded into the input register and RAM array on the LOW-
to-HIGH transition of every Write Clock (WCLK). Data is stored in the RAM array
sequentially and independently of any ongoing read operation.
In this configuration, when Write Enable 1 (WEN1) is HIGH, the input register
holds the previous data and no new data is allowed to be loaded into the register.
If the FIFO is configured to have two write enables, which allows for depth
expansion, there are two enable control pins. See Write Enable 2 paragraph
below for operation in this configuration.
To prevent data overflow, the Full Flag (FF) will go LOW, inhibiting further
write operations. Upon the completion of a valid read cycle, the Full Flag (FF)
will go HIGH after t
WFF
, allowing a valid write to begin. Write Enable 1 (WEN1)
is ignored when the FIFO is full.
READ CLOCK (RCLK)
Data can be read on the outputs on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Read
Clock (RCLK). The Empty Flag (EF) and Programmable Almost-Empty flag
(PAE) are synchronized with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK.
The Write and Read Clocks can be asynchronous or coincident.
READ ENABLES (REN1,
REN2)
When both Read Enables (REN1,
REN2)
are LOW, data is read from the
RAM array to the output register on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Read
Clock (RCLK).
When either Read Enable (REN1,
REN2)
is HIGH, the output register holds
the previous data and no new data is allowed to be loaded into the register.
When all the data has been read from the FIFO, the Empty Flag (EF) will
go LOW, inhibiting further read operations. Once a valid write operation has
been accomplished, the Empty Flag (EF) will go HIGH after t
REF
and a valid
read can begin. The Read Enables (REN1,
REN2)
are ignored when the FIFO
is empty.
