description
The SN74ACT2227 and SN74ACT2229 are dual FIFOs suited for a wide range of serial-data buffering
applications including elastic stores for frequencies up to OC-1 telecommunication rates. Each FIFO on the chip
is arranged as 64 × 1 (SN74ACT2227) or 256 × 1 (SN74ACT2229) and has control signals and status flags for
independent operation. Output flags for each FIFO include input ready (1IR or 2IR), output ready (1OR or 2OR),
half full (1HF or 2HF), and almost full/almost empty (1AF/AE or 2AF/AE).
Serial data is written into a FIFO on the low-to-high transition of the write-clock (1WRTCLK or 2WRTCLK) input
when the write-enable (1WRTEN or 2WRTEN) input and input-ready flag (1IR or 2IR) output are both high.
Serial data is read from a FIFO on the low-to-high transition of the read-clock (1RDCLK or 2RDCLK) input when
the read-enable (1RDEN or 2RDEN) input and output-ready flag (1OR or 2OR) output are both high. The read
and write clocks of a FIFO can be asynchronous to one another. A FIFO data output (1Q or 2Q) is in the
high-impedance state when its output-enable (1OE or 2OE) input is low.
Each input-ready flag (1IR or 2IR) is synchronized by two flip-flop stages to its write clock (1WRTCLK or
2WRTCLK), and each output-ready flag (1OR or 2OR) is synchronized by three flip-flop stages to its read clock
(1RDCLK or 2RDCLK). This multistage synchronization ensures reliable flag-output states when data is written
and read asynchronously.
A half-full flag (1HF or 2HF) is high when the number of bits stored in its FIFO is greater than or equal to half
the depth of the FIFO. An almost-full/almost-empty flag (1AF/AE or 2AF/AE) is high when eight or fewer bits
are stored in its FIFO and when eight or fewer empty locations are left in the FIFO. A bit present on the data
output is not stored in the FIFO.
The SN74ACT2227 and SN74ACT2229 are characterized for operation from – 40°C to 85°C.
For more information on this device family, see the application report FIFOs With a Word Width of One Bit
(literature number SCAA006).

WRTCLK after reset.

O
Output-ready flag. OR is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of RDCLK. When OR is low, the FIFO is

I
Read clock. RDCLK is a continuous clock and can be independent of any other clock on the device. A
low-to-high transition of RDCLK reads data from memory when the FIFO RDEN and OR are high. OR is
synchronous with the low-to-high transition of RDCLK.
1RDEN

I
Reset. To reset the FIFO, four low-to-high transitions of RDCLK and four low-to-high transitions of WRTCLK
must occur while RESET is low. This sets HF, IR, and OR low and AF/AE high. Before it is used, a FIFO must
be reset after power up.

calculating power dissipation
Data for Figure 5 is taken with one FIFO active and one FIFO idle on the device. The active FIFO has both writes
and reads enabled with its read clock (RDCLK) and write clock (WRTCLK) operating at the rate specified by
fclock. The data input rate and data output rate are half the fclock rate, and the data output is disconnected. A
close approximation to the total device power can be found by Figure 5, determining the capacitive load on the
data output and determining the number of SN74ACT2227/2229 inputs driven by TTL high levels.
With ICC(f) taken from Figure 5, the maximum power dissipation (PT) of one FIFO on the SN74ACT2227 or
SN74ACT2229 can be calculated by:
PT = VCC × [ICC(f ) + (N × ∆ICC × dc)] + (CL × VCC2 × fo)

APPLICATION INFORMATION
An example of concentrating two independent serial-data signals into a single composite data signal with the use of
an SN74ACT2227 or SN74ACT2229 device is shown in Figure 6. The input data to the FIFOs share the same average
(mean) frequency and the mean frequency of the SYS_CLOCK is greater than or equal to the sum of the individual
mean input rates. A single-bit FIFO is needed for each additional input data signal that is time-division multiplexed
into the composite signal.
The FIFO memories provide a buffer to absorb clock jitter generated by the transmission systems of incoming signals
and synchronize the phase-independent inputs to one another. FIFO half-full (HF) flags are used to signal the
multiplexer to start fetching data from the buffers. The state of the flags also can be used to indicate when a FIFO
read should be suppressed to regulate the output flow (pulse-stuffing control). The FIFO almost-full/almost-empty
(AF/AE) flags can be used in place of the half-full flags to reduce transmission delay.
