IDT7201L/7201LA/7202LA CMOS ASYNCHRONOUS FIFO

256 x 9, 512 x 9 and 1,024 x 9

Device Mode, this pin acts as the retransmit input. The Single Device Mode is

initiated by grounding the Expansion In (

XI).

The IDT7200/7201A/7202A can be made to retransmit data when the

RetransmitEnablecontrol(

RT)inputispulsedLOW. Aretransmitoperationwill

settheinternalreadpointertothefirstlocationandwillnotaffectthewritepointer.

Read Enable (

R) and Write Enable (W) must be in the HIGH state during

retransmit. This feature is useful when less than 256/512/1,024 writes are

performed between resets. The retransmit feature is not compatible with the

Depth Expansion Mode and will affect the Half-Full Flag (

HF), depending on

the relative locations of the read and write pointers.

EXPANSION IN (

XI)

This input is a dual-purpose pin. Expansion In (

XI)isgroundedtoindicate

an operation in the single device mode. Expansion In (

XI) is connected to

Expansion Out (

XO) of the previous device in the Depth Expansion or Daisy

Chain Mode.

OUTPUTS:

FULL FLAG (

FF)

The Full Flag (

FF)willgoLOW,inhibitingfurtherwriteoperation,whenthe

write pointer is one location less than the read pointer, indicating that the

device is full. If the read pointer is not moved after Reset (

RS), the Full-Flag

(

FF)willgoLOWafter256writesforIDT7200,512writesfortheIDT7201Aand

1,024 writes for the IDT7202A.

EMPTY FLAG (

EF)

The Empty Flag (

EF)willgoLOW,inhibitingfurtherreadoperations,when

the read pointer is equal to the write pointer, indicating that the device is

empty.

EXPANSION OUT/HALF-FULL FLAG (

XO/HF)

This is a dual-purpose output. In the single device mode, when

Expansion In (

XI) is grounded, this output acts as an indication of a half-full

memory.

After half of the memory is filled and at the falling edge of the next write

operation, the Half-Full Flag (

HF) will be set LOW and will remain set until the

difference between the write pointer and read pointer is less than or equal

to one half of the total memory of the device. The Half-Full Flag (

HF) is then

reset by using rising edge of the read operation.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS

INPUTS:

Data inputs for 9-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. Both the Read Enable (

R) and Write Enable (W) inputs must be

before the rising edge of

the rising edge of

RS. Half-Full Flag (HF) will be reset to HIGH after

Reset (

RS).

WRITE ENABLE (

W)

A write cycle is initiated on the falling edge of this input if the Full Flag (

FF)

isnotset. Dataset-upandholdtimesmustbeadheredtowithrespecttotherising

edge of the Write Enable (

W). DataisstoredintheRAMarraysequentiallyand

independently of any on-going read operation.

After half of the memory is filled and at the falling edge of the next write

operation, the Half-Full Flag (

HF)willbesettoLOWandwillremainsetuntilthe

difference between the write pointer and read pointer is less than or equal to

one half of the total memory of the device. The Half-Full Flag (

HF)isthenreset

by the rising edge of the read operation.

To prevent data overflow, the Full Flag (

FF) will go LOW, inhibiting further

write operations. Upon the completion of a valid read operation, the Full

Flag(

is full, the internal write pointer is blocked from

W,soexternalchangesinWwill

not affect the FIFO when it is full.

READ ENABLE (

R)

A read cycle is initiated on the falling edge of the Read Enable (

R)provided

theEmptyFlag(

EF)isnotset. ThedataisaccessedonaFirst-In/First-Outbasis,
