DESCRIPTION:
The IDT72420/72200/72210/72220/72230/72240 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,
and 4,096 x 8-bit memory array, respectively. These FIFOs are applicable
for a wide variety of data buffering needs, such as graphics, Local Area
Networks (LANs), and interprocessor communication.
These FIFOs have 8-bit input and output ports. The input port is
controlled by a free-running clock (WCLK), and a Write Enable pin (WEN).
Data is written into the Synchronous FIFO on every clock when
WEN
is
asserted. The output port is controlled by another clock pin (RCLK) and a
Read Enable pin (REN). 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.
These Synchronous FIFOs have two endpoint flags, Empty (EF) and Full
(FF). Two partial flags, Almost-Empty (AE) and Almost-Full (AF), are
provided for improved system control. The partial (AE) flags are set to
Empty+7 and Full-7 for
AE
and
AF
respectively.
These FIFOs are fabricated using IDT’s high-speed submicron CMOS
technology.

Description
Data inputs for a 8-bit bus.
When
RS
is set LOW, internal read and write pointers are set to the first location of the RAM array,
FF
and
AF
go
HIGH, and
AE
and
EF
go LOW. A reset is required before an initial WRITE after power-up.
Data is written into the FIFO on a LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK when
WEN
is asserted.
When
WEN
is LOW, data is written into the FIFO on every LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK. Data will not be written
into the FIFO if the
FF
is LOW.
Data outputs for a 8-bit bus.
Data is read from the FIFO on a LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK when
REN
is asserted.
When
REN
is 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.
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.
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.
When
AE
is LOW, the FIFO is almost empty based on the offset Empty+7.
AE
is synchronized to RCLK.
When
AF
is LOW, the FIFO is almost full based on the offset Full-7.
AF
is synchronized to WCLK.
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.
One 0 volt ground pin.

COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE
SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
INPUTS:
Data In (D
0
–D
7
)
— Data inputs for 8-bit wide data.
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 Almost-Full Flag (AF) will
be reset to HIGH after t
RSF
. The Empty Flag (EF) and Almost-Empty Flag
(AE) will be reset to LOW after t
RSF
. During reset, the output register is
initialized to all zeros.
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 the Write Clock. The Full Flag
(FF) and Almost-Full Flag (AF) are synchronized with respect to the LOW-
to-HIGH transition of the Write Clock.
The Write and Read Clocks can be asynchronous or coincident.
WRITE ENABLE (WEN) —
When Write Enable (WEN) 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 on-going read operation.
When Write Enable (WEN) is HIGH, 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 (WEN) 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
Almost-Empty flag (AE) are synchronized with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the Read Clock.
The Write and Read Clocks can be asynchronous or coincident.
READ ENABLE (REN) —
When Read Enable (REN) is LOW, data is read
from the RAM array to the output register on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of
the Read Clock (RCLK).
When Read Enable (REN) 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. Read Enable (REN) is ignored when the FIFO is empty.
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.
OUTPUTS:
FULL FLAG (FF) —
The Full Flag (FF) will go LOW, inhibiting further write
operation, when the device is full. If no reads are performed after Reset
(RS), the Full Flag (FF) will go LOW after 64 writes for the IDT72420, 256
writes for the IDT72200, 512 writes for the IDT72210, 1,024 writes for the
IDT72220, 2,048 writes for the IDT72230, and 4,096 writes for the IDT72240.
The Full Flag (FF) is synchronized with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the Write Clock (WCLK).
EMPTY FLAG (EF) —
The Empty Flag (EF) will go LOW, inhibiting further
read operations, when the read pointer is equal to the write pointer,
indicating the device is empty.
The Empty Flag (EF) is synchronized with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the Read Clock (RCLK).
ALMOST-FULL FLAG (AF) —
The Almost-Full Flag (AF) will go LOW when
the FIFO reaches the almost-full condition. If no reads are performed after
Reset (RS), the Almost-Full Flag (AF) will go LOW after 57 writes for the
IDT72420, 249 writes for the IDT72200, 505 writes for the IDT72210, 1,017
writes for the IDT72220, 2,041 writes for the IDT72230 and 4,089 writes for
the IDT72240.
The Almost-Full Flag (AF) is synchronized with respect to the LOW-to-
HIGH transition of the Write Clock (WCLK).
ALMOST-EMPTY FLAG (AE) —
The Almost-Empty Flag (AE) will go LOW
when the FIFO reaches the almost-empty condition. If no reads are
performed after Reset (RS), the Almost-Empty Flag (AE) will go HIGH after
8 writes for the IDT72420, IDT72200, IDT72210, IDT72220, IDT72230 and
IDT72240.
The Almost-Empty Flag (AE) is synchronized with respect to the LOW-
to-HIGH transition of the Read Clock (RCLK).
