DESCRIPTION:
The IDT723622/723632/723642 is a monolithic, high-speed,
low-power, CMOS Bidirectional SyncFIFO (clocked) memory
which supports clock frequencies up to 67MHz and have read
access times as fast as 11ns. Two independent 256/512/
1024x36 dual-port SRAM FIFOs on board each chip buffer
data in opposite directions. Each FIFO has flags to indicate
empty and full conditions and two programable flags (almost

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Full and almost Empty) to indicate when a selected number of
words is stored in memory. Communication between each
port may bypass the FIFOs via two 36-bit mailbox registers.
Each mailbox register has a flag to signal when new mail has
been stored. Two or more devices may be used in parallel to
create wider data paths.
The IDT723622/723632/723642 is a synchronous (clocked)
FIFO, meaning each port employs a synchronous interface.
All data transfers through a port are gated to the LOW-to-
HIGH transition of a 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 with synchronous control.
The Input Ready (IRA, IRB) and Almost-Full (
AFA
,
AFB
)
flags of a FIFO are two-stage synchronized to the port clock
that writes data into its array. The Output Ready (ORA, ORB)
and Almost-Empty (
AEA
,
AEB
) flags of a FIFO are two-stage
synchronized to the port clock that reads data from its array.
Offset values for the Almost-Full and Almost-Empty flags of
both FIFOs can be programmed from Port A.
The IDT723622/723632/723642 is characterized for op-
eration from 0°C to 70°C.

36-bit bidirectional data port for side A.
Programmable almost-empty flag synchronized to CLKA. It is LOW
when the number of words in FIF02 is less than or equal to the value in the
almost-empty A offset register, X2.
Programmable almost-empty flag synchronzed to CLKB. It is LOW
when the number of words in FIF01 is less than or equal to the value in the
almost-empty B offset register, X1.
Programmable almost-full flag synchronized to CLKA. It is LOW when
the number of empty locations in FIF01 is less than or equal to the value in
the almost-full A offset register, Y1.
Programmable almost-full flag synchronized to CLKB. It is LOW when
the number of empty locations in FIF02 is less than or equal to the value in
the almost-full B offset register, Y2.
36-bit bidirectional data port for side B.
CLKA is a continuous clock that synchronizes all data transfers through port A
and can be asynchronous or coincident to CLKB. IRA, ORA,
AFA
, and
AEA
are all 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. IRB, ORB,

are synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB.

ENA must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA to read or

ENB must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB to read or

The LOW-to-HIGH transition of a FlFO’s reset input latches the values of FSO
and FS1. If either FSO or FS1 is HIGH when a reset input goes HIGH, one
of the three preset values is selected as the offset for the FlFOs almost-full
and almost-empty flags. If both FIFOs are reset simultaneously and both FSO
and FS1 are LOW when RST1 and RST2 go HIGH, the first four writes to
FIFO1 almost empty offsets for both FlFOs.
IRA is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. When IRA is
LOW, FIFO1 is full and writes to its array are disabled. IRA is set LOW
when FIFO1 is reset and is set HIGH on the second LOW-to-HIGH transition
of CLKA after reset.
IRB is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB. When IRB is
LOW, FIFO2 is full and writes to its array are disabled. IRB is set LOW when
FIFO2 is reset and is set HIGH on the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of
CLKB after reset.
A HIGH level on MBA chooses a mailbox register for a port-A read or
write operation. When the AO-A35 outputs are active, a HIGH level on MBA
selects data from the mail2 register for output and a LOW level selects FIF02

selected and MBA is HIGH.
MBF2
is also set HIGH when FIFO2 is reset.
ORA is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. When ORA is
LOW, FIFO2 is empty and reads from its memory are disabled. Ready data
is present on the output register of FIFO2 when ORA is HIGH. ORA is
forced LOW when FlFO2 is reset and goes HIGH on the third LOW-to-HIGH
transition of CLKA after a word is loaded to empty memory.
ORB is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB. When ORB
is LOW, FlFO1 is empty and reads from its memory are disabled. Ready data
is present on the output register of FIFO1 when ORB is HIGH. ORB is forced LOW
when FIFO1 is reset and goes HIGH on the third LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB
after a word is loaded to empty memory.
To reset FIFO1, four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA and four LOW-to-HIGH
transitions of CLKB must occur while
RST1
is LOW. The LOW-to-HIGH transition
of
RST1
latches the status of FSO and FS1 for
AFA

FIFO1 must be reset upon power up before data is written to its RAM.
To reset FIFO2, four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA and four LOW-to-HIGH
transitions of CLKB must occur while
RST2
is LOW. The LOW-to-HIGH transition
of
RST2
latches the status of FSO and FS1 for
AFB

FIFO2 must be reset upon power up before data is written to its RAM.
A HIGH selects a write operation and a LOW selects a read operation on port A
for a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. The AO-A35 outputs are in
the HIGH impedance state when W/

A is HIGH.
A LOW selects a write operation and a HIGH selects a read operation on port B
