Description
The AL4CE2x5 series memory products are
high-performance, low-power 18bit read/write
FIFO (First-In-First-Out) memory chip designed
to buffer high speed streaming data for a wide
range of applications. The AL4CE2x5 FIFO
memories are the advanced version of
AL4CS2x5.
This product series support
additional functions, such as Bus-matching,
Endian select and Retransmit, can benefit
designing efforts.

Figure 1. AL4CE2x5 FIFO Block Diagram
The 18bit input and output ports operate
independently at a maximum speed of 133 MHz.
The built-in address decoder and pointer managing
circuits provide a straightforward bus interface to
serially read/write memory that reduces inter-chip
design efforts. The AL4CE2x5 embedded memory
array and high performance process technologies
with extended controller functions (read skip, fixed
and programmable status flags.. etc.) offer flexible
memory management.
These FIFOs support up to 18bit input and output
data bus-width that is controlled by separate clock
and enable signals respectively. The input data is
acquired at each rising edge of a free running write
clock while a write enable control pin is asserted.
The output data is available after each rising edge
of a free running read clock while a read enable
and output enable control pins are asserted. When
output enable (/OE) is LOW, the data output bus
is active. If /OE is HIGH, the output data bus will
be in a high-impedance. This signal can control
whether the data is going to be skipped during the
read operation.
The
FIFO
Full/Empty,
Half-Full
and
programmable Almost Full/Almost Empty flags
are powerful functions that can help controlling
software to manipulate the FIFO more easily or to
do retransmit operation.
Bus-Matching feature can flexibly configure input
and output bus width. The chip can automatically
convert the input data bus width to match up
output data bus width by packing or unpacking the
data. A Big-Endian/Little-Endian data word
format is provided to invert the read-in bytes
sequence for output. And the Retransmit function
allows data to be reread from the FIFO more than
once.
These chips are available as a 64pin TQFP and
STQFP Package
