DESCRIPTION:
The IDT723614 is a monolithic, high-speed, low-power CMOS bidirectional
clocked FIFO memory. It supports clock frequencies up to 67MHz and has read
access times as fast as 10ns. Two independent 64 x 36 dual-port SRAM FIFOs
on board the chip buffer data in opposite directions. Each FIFO has flags to
indicate empty and full conditions and two programmable flags (Almost-Full and
Almost-Empty) to indicate when a selected number of words is stored in memory.
FIFO data on port B can be input and output in 36-bit, 18-bit, and 9-bit formats
with a choice of big- or little-endian configurations. Three modes of byte-order
swapping are possible with any bus size selection. Communication between
each port can bypass the FIFOs via two 36-bit mailbox registers. Each mailbox
register has a flag to signal when new mail has been stored. Parity is checked
passively on each port and may be ignored if not desired. Parity generation
can be selected for data read from each port. Two or more devices can be used
in parallel to create wider data paths.

TEMPERATURE RANGES
This device is a clocked FIFO, which means each port employs a synchro-
nous interface. All data transfers through a port are gated to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of a continuous (free-running) port clock by enable signals. The clocks
for each port are independent of one another and can be asynchronous or
coincident. The enables for each port are arranged to provide a simple
bidirectional interface between microprocessors and/or buses controlled by a
synchronous interface.
The Full Flag (FFA,
FFB)
and Almost-Full flag (AFA,
AFB)
of a FIFO are
two-stage synchronized to the port clock that writes data to its array. The Empty
Flag (EFA,
EFB)
and Almost-Empty (AEA,
AEB)
flag of a FIFO are two stage
synchronized to the port clock that reads data from its array.
The IDT723614 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Description
36-bit bidirectional data port for side A.
Programmable Almost-Empty flag synchronized to CLKA. It is LOW when the number of 36-bit
words in FIFO2 is less than or equal to the value in the offset register, X.
Programmable Almost-Empty flag synchronized to CLKB. It is LOW when the number of 36-bit
words in FIFO1 is less than or equal to the value in the offset register, X.
Programmable Almost-Full flag synchronized to CLKA. It is LOW when the number of 36-bit empty
locations in FIFO1 is less than or equal to the value in the offset register, X.
Programmable Almost-Full flag synchronized to CLKB. It is LOW when the number of 36-bit empty
locations in FIFO2 is less than or equal to the value in the offset register, X.
36-bit bidirectional data port for side B.
Selects the bytes on port B used during byte or word data transfer. A LOW on
BE
selects the most
most significant bytes on B0-B35 for use, and a HIGH selects the least significant bytes.
CLKA is a continuous clock that synchronizes all data transfers through port A and can be
asynchronous or coincident to CLKB.
EFA, FFA, AFA,
and
AEA
are synchronized to the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA.
CLKB is a continuous clock that synchronizes all data transfers through port B and can be
asynchronous or coincident to CLKA. Port B byte swapping and data port sizing operations are
also synchronous to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB.
EFB, FFB, AFB,
and
AEB
are synchro-
nized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB.
CSA
must be LOW to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA to read or write data on port A.
The A0-A35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when
CSA
is HIGH.
CSB
must be LOW to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB to read or write data on port B.
The B0-B35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when
CSB
is HIGH.
EFA
is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. When
EFA
is LOW, FIFO2 is
empty, and reads from its memory are disabled. Data can be read from FIFO2 to the output
register when
EFA
is HIGH.
EFA
is forced LOW when the device is reset and is set HIGH by
the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA after data is loaded into empty FIFO2 memory.
EFB
is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB. When
EFB
is LOW, the FIFO1 is
empty, and reads from its memory are disabled. Data can be read from FIFO1 to the output
register when
EFB
is HIGH.
EFB
is forced LOW when the device is reset and is set HIGH by the
second LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB after data is loaded into empty FIFO1 memory.
ENA must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA to read or write data on port A.
ENB must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB to read or write data on port B.
FFA
is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. When
FFA
is LOW, FIFO1 is full,
and writes to its memory are disabled.
FFA
is forced LOW when the device is reset and is set
HIGH by the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA after reset.
FFB
is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB. When
FFB
is LOW, FIFO2 is full,
and writes to its memory are disabled.
FFB
is forced LOW when the device is reset and is set
HIGH by the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB after reset.
The LOW-to-HIGH transition of
RST
latches the values of FS0 and FS1, which selects one of
four preset values for the Almost-Full flag and Almost-Empty flag offset.
A HIGH level on MBA chooses a mailbox register for a port A read or write operation. When the
A0-A35 outputs are active, a HIGH level on MBA selects data from the mail2 register for output,
and a LOW level selects FIFO2 output register data for output.
MBF1
is set LOW by a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA that writes data to the mail1 register.
Writes to the mail1 register are inhibited while
MBF1
is set LOW.
MBF1
is set HIGH by a LOW-to-
HIGH transition of CLKB when a port B read is selected and both SIZ1 and SIZ0 are HIGH.
MBF1
is set HIGH when the device is reset.
MBF2
is set LOW by a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB that writes data to the mail2 register.
Writes to the mail2 register are inhibited while
MBF2
is set LOW.
MBF2
is set HIGH by a LOW-to-
HIGH transition of CLKA when a port A read is selected and MBA is HIGH.
MBF2
is set HIGH
when the device is reset.

Description
Odd parity is checked on each port when ODD/EVEN is HIGH, and even parity is checked when
ODD/EVEN is LOW. ODD/EVEN also selects the type of parity generated for each port if parity
generation is enabled for a read operation.
When any byte applied to terminals A0-A35 fails parity,
PEFA
is LOW. Bytes are organized as
A0-A8, A9-A17, A18-A26, and A27-A35, with the most significant bit of each byte serving as the
parity bit. The type of parity checked is determined by the state of the ODD/EVEN input.
The parity trees used to check the A0-A35 inputs are shared by the mail2 register to generate
parity if parity generation is selected by PGA. Therefore, if a mail2 read parity generation is setup
by having W/RA LOW, MBA HIGH, and PGA HIGH, the
PEFA
flag is forced HIGH regardless of the
A0-A35 inputs.
When any valid byte applied to terminals B0-B35 fails parity,
PEFB
is LOW. Bytes are organized
as B0-B8, B9-B17, B18-B26, B27-B35 with the most significant bit of each byte serving as the parity
bit. A byte is valid when it is used by the bus size selected for Port B. The type of parity checked is
determined by the state of the ODD/EVEN input.
The parity trees used to check the B0-B35 inputs are shared by the mail 1 register to generate parity if
parity generation is selected by PGB. Therefore, if a mail1 read with parity generation is setup by
having W/RB LOW, SIZ1 and SIZ0 HIGH, and PGB HIGH, the
PEFB
flag is forced HIGH regardless
of the state of the B0-B35 inputs.
Parity is generated for data reads from port A when PGA is HIGH. The type of parity generated is
selected by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. Bytes are organized as A0-A8, A9-A17, A18-A26,
and A27-A35. The generated parity bits are output in the most significant bit of each byte.
Parity is generated for data reads from port B when PGB is HIGH. The type of parity generated is
selected by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. Bytes are organized as B0-B8, B9-B17, B18-B26,
and B27-B35. The generated parity bits are output in the most significant bit of each byte.
To reset the device, four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA and four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of
CLKB must occur while
RST
is LOW. This sets the
AFA, AFB, MBF1,
and
MBF2
flags HIGH and
the
EFA, EFB, AEA, AEB, FFA,
and
FFB
flags LOW. The LOW-to-HIGH transition of
RST
latches
the status of the FS1 and FS0 inputs to select Almost-Full and Almost-Empty flag offsets.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB latches the states of SIZ0, SIZ1, and
BE,
and the following
LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB implements the latched states as a port B bus size. Port B bus sizes
can be long word, word, or byte. A high on both SIZ0 and SIZ1 accesses the mailbox registers for
a port B 36-bit write or read.
At the beginning of each long word transfer, one of four modes of byte-order swapping is selected by
SW0 and SW1. The four modes are no swap, byte swap, word swap, and byte-word swap. Byte-
order swapping is possible with any bus-size selection.
A HIGH selects a write operation and a LOW selects a read operation on for a LOW-to-HIGH port A
transition of CLKA. The A0-A35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when W/RA is HIGH.
A HIGH selects a write operation and a LOW selects a read operation on for a LOW-to-HIGH port B
B transition of CLKB. The B0-B35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when W/RB is HIGH.
