DESCRIPTION:
The 72V255/72V265 are functionally compatible versions
of the 72255/65 designed to run off a 3.3V supply for excep-
tionally low power consumption. The IDT72V255/72V265 are
monolithic, CMOS, high capacity, high speed, First-In, First-
Out (FIFO) memories with clocked read and write controls.
These FIFOs are applicable for a wide variety of data buffering
needs, such as optical disk controllers, local area networks
(LANs), and inter-processor communication.
Both FIFOs have an 18-bit input port (Dn) and an 18-bit
output port (Qn). The input port is controlled by a free-running
clock (WCLK) and a data input 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 enable pin (REN). The read clock can be tied to
the write clock for single clock operation or the two clocks can
run asynchronously for dual clock operation. An output

enable pin (
OE
) is provided on the read port for three-state
control of the outputs.
The IDT72V255/72V265 have two modes of operation: In
the
IDT Standard Mode,
the first word written to the FIFO is
deposited into the memory array. A read operation is required
to access that word. In the
First Word Fall Through Mode
(FWFT), the first word written to an empty FIFO appears
automatically on the outputs, no read operation required. The
state of the FWFT/SI pin during Master Reset determines the
mode in use.
The IDT72V255/72V265 FIFOs have five flag functions,
EF
/
OR
(Empty Flag or Output Ready),
FF
/
IR
(Full Flag or Input
Ready), and HF (Half-full Flag). The
EF
and
FF
functions are
selected in the IDT Standard Mode.
The
IR
and
OR
functions are selected in the First Word Fall
Through Mode.
IR
indicates that the FIFO has free space to
receive data.
OR
indicates that data contained in the FIFO is
available for reading.
HF is a flag whose threshold is fixed at the half-way point
in memory. This flag can always be used irrespective of
mode.
PAE
,
PAF
can be programmed independently to any point
in memory. They, also, can be used irrespective of mode.
Programmable offsets determine the flag threshold and can
be loaded by two methods: parallel or serial. Two default
offset settings are also provided, such that
PAE
can be set at
127 or 1023 locations from the empty boundary and the
PAF
threshold can be set at 127 or 1023 locations from the full
boundary. All these choices are made with
LD
during Master
Reset.
In the serial method,
SEN
together with
LD
are used to load
the offset registers via the Serial Input (SI). In the parallel
method,
WEN
together with
LD
can be used to load the offset
registers via Dn. REN together with
LD
can be used to read
the offsets in parallel from Qn regardless of whether serial or
parallel offset loading is selected.
During Master Reset (
MRS
), the read and write pointers are
set to the first location of the FIFO. The FWFT line selects IDT
Standard Mode or FWFT Mode. The
LD
pin selects one of two
partial flag default settings (127 or 1023) and, also, serial or

parallel programming. The flags are updated accordingly.
The Partial Reset (
PRS
) also sets the read and write
pointers to the first location of the memory. However, the
mode setting, programming method, and partial flag offsets
are not altered. The flags are updated accordingly.
PRS
is
useful for resetting a device in mid-operation, when repro-
gramming offset registers may not be convenient.
The Retransmit function allows the read pointer to be reset
to the first location in the RAM array. It is synchronized to
RCLK when
RT
is LOW. This feature is convenient for
sending the same data more than once.
If, at any time, the FIFO is not actively performing a
function, the chip will automatically power down. This occurs
if neither a read nor a write occurs within 10 cycles of the faster
clock, RCLK or WCLK. During the Power Down state, supply
current consumption (ICC2) is at a minimum. Initiating any
operation (by activating control inputs) will immediately take
the device out of the Power Down state.
The IDT72V255/72V265 are depth expandable. The addi-
tion of external components is unnecessary. The
IR
and
OR
functions, together with REN and
WEN
, are used to extend the
total FIFO memory capacity.
The FS line ensures optimal data flow through the FIFO. It
is tied to GND if the RCLK frequency is higher than the WCLK
frequency or to Vcc if the RCLK frequency is lower than the
WCLK frequency
The IDT72V255/72V265 is fabricated using IDT’s high
speed submicron CMOS technology.
