SyncFIFO are very high-speed, low-power First-In, First-
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Out (FIFO) memories with clocked read and write controls.
The IDT72421/72201/72211/72221/72231/72241 have a 64,
256, 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 x 9-bit memory array,
respectively. These FIFOs are applicable for a wide variety of
data buffering needs such as graphics, local area networks
and interprocessor communication.
These FIFOs have 9-bit input and output ports. The input
port is controlled by a free-running clock (WCLK), and two
write enable pins (WEN1, WEN2). Data is written into the
Synchronous FIFO on every rising clock edge when the write
enable pins are asserted. The output port is controlled by
another clock pin (RCLK) and two read enable pins (REN1,
REN2). The read clock can be tied to the write clock for single
clock operation or the two clocks can run asynchronous of one
another for dual-clock operation. An output enable pin (OE) is
provided on the read port for three-state control of the output.
The Synchronous FIFOs have two fixed flags, Empty (EF)
and Full (FF). Two programmable flags, Almost-Empty (PAE)
and Almost-Full (PAF), are provided for improved system
control. The programmable flags default to Empty+7 and Full7 for PAE and PAF, respectively. The programmable flag
offset loading is controlled by a simple state machine and is
initiated by asserting the load pin (LD).
The IDT72421/72201/72211/72221/72231/72241 are
fabricated using IDT’s high-speed submicron CMOS
technology. Military grade product is manufactured in
compliance with the latest revision of MIL-STD-883, Class B.

Description
I
Data inputs for a 9-bit bus.
I
When RS is set LOW, internal read and write pointers are set to the first location of the RAM array,
FF and PAF go HIGH, and PAE and EF go LOW. A reset is required before an initial WRITE after
power-up.
I
Data is written into the FIFO on a LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK when the Write
Enable(s) are asserted.
I
If the FIFO is configured to have programmable flags, WEN1 is the only write enable pin.
When WEN1 is LOW, data is written into the FIFO on every LOW-to-HIGH transition WCLK. If
the FIFO is configured to have two write enables, WEN1 must be LOW and WEN2 must be
HIGH to write data into the FIFO. Data will not be written into the FIFO if the FF is LOW.
I
The FIFO is configured at reset to have either two write enables or programmable flags. If WEN2/
LD is HIGH at reset, this pin operates as a second write enable. If WEN2/LD is LOW at reset,
this pin operates as a control to load and read the programmable flag offsets. If the FIFO is
configured to have two write enables, WEN1 must be LOW and WEN2 must be HIGH to write
data into the FIFO. Data will not be written into the FIFO if the FF is LOW. If the FIFO is configured to have programmable flags, WEN2/LD is held LOW to write or read the programmable flag
offsets.
O Data outputs for a 9-bit bus.
I
Data is read from the FIFO on a LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK when REN1 and REN2 are
asserted.
I
When REN1 and REN2 are LOW, data is read from the FIFO on every LOW-to-HIGH transition
of RCLK. Data will not be read from the FIFO if the EF is LOW.
I
When REN1 and REN2 are LOW, data is read from the FIFO on every LOW-to-HIGH transition
of RCLK. Data will not be read from the FIFO if the EF is LOW.
I
When OE is LOW, the data output bus is active. If OE is HIGH, the output data bus will be in a
high-impedance state.
O When EF is LOW, the FIFO is empty and further data reads from the output are inhibited. When
EF is HIGH, the FIFO is not empty. EF is synchronized to RCLK.
O When PAE is LOW, the FIFO is almost empty based on the offset programmed into the FIFO.
The default offset at reset is Empty+7. PAE is synchronized to RCLK.

When PAF is LOW, the FIFO is almost full based on the offset programmed into the FIFO. The
default offset at reset is Full-7. PAF is synchronized to WCLK.
When FF is LOW, the FIFO is full and further data writes into the input are inhibited. When FF is
HIGH, the FIFO is not full. FF is synchronized to WCLK.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
INPUTS:
Data In (D0 - D8) — 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. The Full Flag (FF) and Programmable Almost-Full Flag
(PAF) will be reset to HIGH after tRSF. The Empty Flag (EF) and
Programmable Almost-Empty Flag (PAE) will be reset to LOW
after tRSF. During reset, the output register is initialized to all
zeros and the offset registers are initialized to their default
values.
Write Clock (WCLK) — A write cycle is initiated on the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the write clock (WCLK). Data setup and hold times must be met in respect to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the write clock (WCLK). The Full Flag (FF) and
Programmable Almost-Full Flag (PAF) are synchronized with
respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the write clock
(WCLK).
The write and read clocks can be asynchronous or
coincident.
Write Enable 1 (WEN1) — If the FIFO is configured for
programmable flags, Write Enable 1 (WEN1) is the only
enable control pin. In this configuration, when Write Enable 1
(WEN1) is low, data can be loaded into the input register and
RAM array on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every write clock
(WCLK). Data is stored in the RAM array sequentially and
independently of any on-going read operation.
In this configuration, when Write Enable 1 (WEN1) is HIGH,
the input register holds the previous data and no new data is
allowed to be loaded into the register.
If the FIFO is configured to have two write enables, which
allows for depth expansion, there are two enable control pins.
See Write Enable 2 paragraph below for operation in this
configuration.
To prevent data overflow, the Full Flag (FF) will go LOW,
inhibiting further write operations. Upon the completion of a
valid read cycle, the Full Flag (FF) will go HIGH after tWFF,
allowing a valid write to begin. Write Enable 1 (WEN1) is
ignored when the FIFO is full.
Read Clock (RCLK) — Data can be read on the outputs on
the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the read clock (RCLK). The
Empty Flag (EF) and Programmable Almost-Empty Flag (PAE)
are synchronized with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition
of the read clock (RCLK).
The write and read clocks can be asynchronous or
coincident.
Read Enables (REN1, REN2) — When both Read Enables
(REN1, REN2) are LOW, data is read from the RAM array to
the output register on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the read
clock (RCLK).
When either Read Enable (REN1, REN2) is HIGH, the
output register holds the previous data and no new data is
allowed to be loaded into the register.
When all the data has been read from the FIFO, the Empty
Flag (EF) will go LOW, inhibiting further read operations. Once
a valid write operation has been accomplished, the Empty
Flag (EF) will go HIGH after tREF and a valid read can begin.
The Read Enables (REN1, REN2) are ignored when the FIFO
is empty.
Output Enable (OE) — When Output Enable (OE) is
enabled (LOW), the parallel output buffers receive data from
the output register. When Output Enable (OE) is disabled
(HIGH), the Q output data bus is in a high-impedance state.
Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) — This is a dualpurpose pin. The FIFO is configured at Reset to have
programmable flags or to have two write enables, which
allows depth expansion. If Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD)
is set high at Reset (RS = LOW), this pin operates as a second
write enable pin.
If the FIFO is configured to have two write enables, when
Write Enable (WEN1) is LOW and Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/
LD) is HIGH, data can be loaded into the input register and
RAM array on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every write clock
(WCLK). Data is stored in the RAM array sequentially and
independently of any on-going read operation.
In this configuration, when Write Enable (WEN1) is HIGH
and/or Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is LOW, the input
register holds the previous data and no new data is allowed to
be loaded into the register.
To prevent data overflow, the Full Flag (FF) will go LOW,
inhibiting further write operations. Upon the completion of a
valid read cycle, the Full Flag (FF) will go HIGH after tWFF,
allowing a valid write to begin. Write Enable 1 (WEN1) and Write
Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) are ignored when the FIFO is full.
The FIFO is configured to have programmable flags when
the Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is set LOW at Reset
(RS=low). The IDT72421/72201/72211/72221/72231/72241
devices contain four 8-bit offset registers which can be loaded
with data on the inputs, or read on the outputs. See Figure 3
for details of the size of the registers and the default values.
If the FIFO is configured to have programmable flags when
the Write Enable 1 (WEN1) and Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/
LD) are set low, data on the inputs D is written into the Empty
(Least Significant Bit) offset register on the first LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the write clock (WCLK). Data is written into the
Empty (Most Significant Bit) offset register on the second
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the write clock (WCLK), into the
Full (Least Significant Bit) offset register on the third transition,
and into the Full (Most Significant Bit) offset register on the
fourth transition. The fifth transition of the write clock (WCLK)
again writes to the Empty (Least Significant Bit) offset register.

However, writing all offset registers does not have to occur
at one time. One or two offset registers can be written and then
by bringing the Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) pin HIGH, the
FIFO is returned to normal read/write operation. When the
Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) pin is set LOW, and Write
Enable 1 (WEN1) is LOW, the next offset register in sequence
is written.
The contents of the offset registers can be read on the
output lines when the Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) pin is
set low and both Read Enables (REN1, REN2) are set LOW.
Data can be read on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the read
clock (RCLK).
A read and write should not be performed simultaneously
to the offset registers.

OUTPUTS:
Full Flag (FF) — The Full Flag (FF) will go LOW, inhibiting
further write operation, when the device is full. If no reads are
performed after Reset (RS), the Full Flag (FF) will go LOW
after 64 writes for the IDT72421, 256 writes for the IDT72201,
512 writes for the IDT72211, 1024 writes for the IDT72221,
2048 writes for the IDT72231, and 4096 writes for the IDT72241.
The Full Flag (FF) is synchronized with respect to the LOWto-HIGH transition of the write clock (WCLK).
Empty Flag (EF) — The Empty Flag (EF) will go LOW,
inhibiting further read operations, when the read pointer is
equal to the write pointer, indicating the device is empty.
The Empty Flag (EF) is synchronized with respect to the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the read clock (RCLK).
Programmable Almost-Full Flag ( PAF ) — The
Programmable Almost-Full Flag (PAF) will go LOW when the
FIFO reaches the Almost-Full condition. If no reads are
performed after Reset (RS), the Programmable Almost-Full
Flag (PAF) will go LOW after (64-m) writes for the IDT72421,
(256-m) writes for the IDT72201, (512-m) writes for the
IDT72211, (1024-m) writes for the IDT72221, (2048-m) writes
for the IDT72231, and (4096-m) writes for the IDT72241. The
offset “m” is defined in the Full offset registers.
If there is no Full offset specified, the Programmable
Almost-Full Flag (PAF) will go LOW at Full-7 words.
The Programmable Almost-Full Flag (PAF) is synchronized
with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the write clock
(WCLK).
Programmable Almost-Empty Flag (PAE) — The
Programmable Almost-Empty Flag (PAE) will go LOW when
the read pointer is "n+1" locations less than the write pointer.
The offset "n" is defined in the Empty offset registers. If no
reads are performed after Reset the Programmable AlmostEmpty Flag (PAE) will go HIGH after "n+1" for the IDT72421/
72201/72211/72221/72231/72241.
If there is no Empty offset specified, the Programmable
Almost-Empty Flag (PAE) will go LOW at Empty+7 words.
The Programmable Almost-Empty Flag ( PAE ) is
synchronized with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of
the read clock (RCLK).

OPERATING CONFIGURATIONS
SINGLE DEVICE CONFIGURATION - A single IDT72421/
72201/72211/72221/72231/72241 may be used when the
application requirements are for 64/256/512/1024/2048/4096
words or less. When the IDT72421/72201/72211/72221/
72231/72241 are in a Single Device Configuration, the Read
Enable 2 (REN2) control input can be grounded (see Figure
14). In this configuration, the Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD)
pin is set LOW at Reset so that the pin operates as a control
to load and read the programmable flag offsets.

WIDTH EXPANSION CONFIGURATION - Word width may
be increased simply by connecting the corresponding input
controls signals of multiple devices. A composite flag should
be created for each of the end-point status flags (EF and FF).
The partial status flags (AE and AF) can be detected from any
one device. Figure 15 demonstrates a 18-bit word width by
using two IDT72421/72201/72211/72221/72231/72241s. Any
word width can be attained by adding additional IDT72421/
72201/72211/72221/72231/72241s.
When the IDT72421/72201/72211/72221/72231/72241 are
in a Width Expansion Configuration, the Read Enable 2
(REN2) control input can be grounded (see Figure 15). In this
configuration, the Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) pin is set
LOW at Reset so that the pin operates as a control to load and
read the programmable flag offsets.

MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGES
DEPTH EXPANSION - The IDT72421/7221/72211/72221/
72231/72241 can be adapted to applications when the requirements are for greater than 64/256/512/1024/2048/4096
words. The existence of two enable pins on the read and write
port allow depth expansion. The Write Enable 2/Load pin is
used as a second write enable in a depth expansion configuration thus the Programmable flags are set to the default
values. Depth expansion is possible by using one enable
input for system control while the other enable input is controlled by expansion logic to direct the flow of data. A typical
application would have the expansion logic alternate data
access from one device to the next in a sequential manner.
The IDT72421/7221/72211/72221/72231/72241 operates in
the Depth Expansion configuration when the following conditions are met:
1. The WEN2/ LD pin is held HIGH during Reset so that this pin
operates a second Write Enable.
2. External logic is used to control the flow of data.
Please see the Applicatioin Note" DEPTH EXPANSION OF
IDT'S SYNCHRONOUS FIFOs USING THE RING COUNTER
APPROACH" for details of this configuration.
