SAA4955
The maximum storage depth is 245772 words
×
12 bits.
A FIFO operation with full word continuous read and write
could be used as a data delay, for example. A FIFO
operation with asynchronous read and write could be used
as a data rate multiplier. Here the data is written once, then
read as many times as required without being overwritten
by new data. In addition to the FIFO operations, a random
block access mode is accessible during the pointer reset
operation. When this mode is enabled, reading and/or
writing may begin at, or proceed from, the start address of
any of the 6144 blocks. Each block is 40 words in length.
Two or more SAA4955s can be cascaded to provide
greater storage depth or a longer delay, without the need
for additional circuitry.
The SAA4955 contains separate 12-bit wide serial ports
for reading and writing. The ports are controlled and
clocked separately, so asynchronous read and write
operations are supported. Independent read and write
clock rates are possible. Addressing is controlled by read
and write address pointers. Before a controlled write
operation can begin, the write pointer must be set to zero
or to the beginning of a valid address block. Likewise, the
read pointer must be set to zero or to the beginning of a
valid address block before a controlled read operation can
begin.
