DESCRIPTION:
The IDT723611 is a monolithic, high-speed, low-power,
CMOS Synchronous (clocked) FIFO memory which supports
clock frequencies up to 67MHz and has read access times as
fast as 10ns. The 64 x 36 dual-port FIFO buffers data from Port
A to Port B. The FIFO has flags to indicate empty and full
conditions, and two programmable flags, Almost-Full (AF) and
Almost-Empty (AE), to indicate when a selected number of
words is stored in memory. Communication between each
port can take place through two 36-bit mailbox registers. Each

chronous or coincident. The enables for each port are arranged to provide a simple bidirectional interface between
microprocessors and/or buses with synchronous control.
The Full-Flag (FF) and Almost-Full (AF) flag of the FIFO are
two-stage synchronized to the port clock that writes data into
its array (CLKA). The Empty Flag (EF) and Almost-Empty (AE)
flag of the FIFO are two-stage synchronized to the port clock
that reads data from its array.
The IDT723611 is characterized for operation from 0°C to
70°C.
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
mailbox register has a flag to signal when new mail has been
stored. Parity is checked passively on each port and may be
ignored if not desired. Parity generation can be selected for
data read from each port. Two or more devices may be used
in parallel to create wider data paths.
The IDT723611 is a synchronous (clocked) FIFO, meaning each port employs a synchronous interface. All data
transfers through a port are gated to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of a port clock by enable signals. The clocks for
each port are independent of one another and can be asyn-

Description
I/O 36-bit bidirectional data port for side A.
O Programmable almost-empty flag synchronized to CLKB. It is LOW when
the number of words in the FIFO is less than or equal to the value in the offset
register, X.
O Programmable almost-full flag synchronized to CLKA. It is LOW when the
number of empty locations in the FIFO is less than or equal to the value in the
offset register, X.
EF is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB.
When EF is LOW,
the FIFO is empty, and reads from its memory are disabled. Data can be read
from the FIFO to its output register when EF is HIGH. EF is forced LOW when
the device is reset and is set HIGH by the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of
CLKB after data is loaded into empty FIFO memory.
ENA must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA to read or
write data on port-A.
ENB must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB to read or
write data on port-B.
FF is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. When FF is LOW,
the FIFO is full, and writes to its memory are disabled. FF is forced LOW when
the device is reset and is set HIGH by the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of
CLKA after reset.
The LOW-to-HIGH transition of RST latches the values of FS0 and FS1,
which loads one of four preset values into the almost-full and almost-empty
offset register (X).
A HIGH level on MBA chooses a mailbox register for a port-A read or write
operation.
A HIGH level on MBB chooses a mailbox register for a port-B read or write
operation. When the B0-B35 outputs are active, a HIGH level on MBB selects
data from the mail1 register for output, and a LOW level selects the FIFO
output register data for output.
MBF1 is set LOW by a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA that writes data to
the mail1 register. Writes to the mail1 register are inhibited while MBF1 is set
LOW. MBF1 is set HIGH by a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB when a port-B
read is selected and MBB is HIGH. MBF1 is set HIGH when the device is
reset.

Odd parity is checked on each port when ODD/EVEN is HIGH, and even
parity is checked when ODD/EVEN is LOW. ODD/EVEN also selects the
type of parity generated for each port if parity generation is enabled for a read
operation.
O
When any byte applied to terminals A0-A35 fails parity, PEFA is LOW.
(Port A) Bytes are organized as A0-A8, A9-A17, A18-A26, and A27-A35, with the
most significant bit of each byte serving as the parity bit. The type of parity
checked is determined by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. The parity trees
used to check the A0-A35 inputs are shared by the mail2 register to generate
parity if parity generation is selected by PGA. Therefore, if a mail2 read with
parity generation is setup by having CSA LOW, ENA HIGH, W/RA LOW, MBA
HIGH, and PGA HIGH, the PEFA flag is forced HIGH regardless of the state of
A0-A35 inputs.
O
When any byte applied to terminals B0-B35 fails parity, PEFB is LOW.
(Port B) Bytes are organized as B0-B8, B9-B17, B18-B26, B27-B35, with the most
significant bit of each byte serving as the parity bit. The type of parity
checked is determined by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. The parity trees
used to check the B0-B35 inputs are shared by the mail1 register to generate
parity if parity generation is selected by PGB. Therefore, if a mail1 read with
parity generation is setup by having CSB LOW, ENB HIGH, W/RB LOW,
MBB HIGH, and PGB HIGH, the PEFB flag is forced HIGH regardless of the
state of the B0-B35 inputs
I
Parity is generated for mail2 register reads from port A when PGA is HIGH.
The type of parity generated is selected by the state of the ODD/EVEN input.
Bytes are organized as A0-A8, A9-A17, A18-A26, and A27-A35. The generated parity bits are output in the most significant bit of each byte.
I
Parity is generated for data reads from port B when PGB is HIGH. The type
of parity generated is selected by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. Bytes are
organized as B0-B8, B9-B17, B18-B26, and B27-B35. The generated parity
bits are output in the most significant bit of each byte.
I
To reset the device, four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA and four LOW-toHIGH transitions of CLKB must occur while RST is LOW. This sets the AF,
MBF1, and MBF2 flags HIGH and the EF, AE, and FF flags LOW. The LOWto-HIGH transition of RST latches the status of the FS1 and FS0 inputs to
select almost-full and almost-empty flag offset.
I
A HIGH selects a write operation and a LOW selects a read operation on
port A for a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. The A0-A35 outputs are in the
high-impedance state when W/RA is HIGH.
I
I
A HIGH selects a write operation and a LOW selects a read operation on

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
RESET (RST)
The IDT723611 is reset by taking the reset (RST) input
LOW for at least four port-A clock (CLKA) and four port-B clock
(CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The reset input can switch
asynchronously to the clocks. A device reset initializes the
internal read and write pointers of the FIFO and forces the fullflag (FF) LOW, the empty flag (EF) LOW, the almost-empty
flag (AE) LOW, and the almost-full flag (AF) HIGH. A reset also
forces the mailbox flags (MBF1, MBF2) HIGH. After a reset,
FF is set HIGH after two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA.

Table 1. Flag Programming
The device must be reset after power up before data is written
to its memory.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on the RST input loads the
almost-full and almost-empty offset register (X) with the value
selected by the flag select (FS0, FS1) inputs. The values that
can be loaded into the register are shown in Table 1.
FIFO WRITE/READ OPERATION
The state of the port-A data (A0-A35) outputs is controlled
by the port-A chip select (CSA) and the port-A write/read
select (W/RA). The A0-A35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when either CSA or W/RA is HIGH. The A0-A35
outputs are active when both CSA and W/RA are LOW. Data
is loaded into the FIFO from the A0-A35 inputs on a LOW-toHIGH transition of CLKA when CSA is LOW, W/RA is HIGH,
ENA is HIGH, MBA is LOW, and FF is HIGH (see Table 2).
The port-B control signals are identical to those of port A.
The state of the port-B data (B0-B35) outputs is controlled by
the port-B chip select (CSB) and the port-B write/read select
(W/RB). The B0-B35 outputs are in the high-impedance state
when either CSB or W/RB is HIGH. The B0-B35 outputs are
active when both CSB and W/RB are LOW. Data is read from
the FIFO to the B0-B35 outputs by a LOW-to-HIGH transition
of CLKB when CSB is LOW, W/RB is LOW, ENB is HIGH, MBB
is LOW, and EF is HIGH (see Table 3).

COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGES
The setup and hold-time constraints to the port clocks for
the port chip selects (CSA, CSB) and write/read selects (W/
RA, W/RB) are only for enabling write and read operations and
are not related to HIGH-impedance control of the data outputs. If a port enable is LOW during a clock cycle, the port’s
chip select and write/read select can change states during the
setup and hold-time window of the cycle.
SYNCHRONIZED FIFO FLAGS
Each FIFO flag is synchronized to its port clock through two
flip-flop stages. This is done to improve the flags’ reliability by
reducing the probability of mestastable events on their outputs
when CLKA and CLKB operate asynchronously to one another. FF and AF are synchronized to CLKA. EF and AE are
synchronized to CLKB. Table 4 shows the relationship to the
flags to the FIFO.
EMPTY FLAG (EF)
The FIFO empty flag is synchronized to the port clock that
reads data from its array (CLKB). When the empty flag is
HIGH, new data can be read to the FIFO output register.
When the empty flag is LOW, the FIFO is empty and attempted
FIFO reads are ignored.
The FIFO read pointer is incremented each time a new
word is clocked to its output register. The state machine that
controls an empty flag monitors a write pointer and read
pointer comparator that indicates when the FIFO SRAM
status is empty, empty+1, or empty+2. A word written to the
FIFO can be read to the FIFO output register in a minimum of
three port-B clock (CLKB) cycles. Therefore, an empty flag is
LOW if a word in memory is the next data to be sent to the FIFO
output register and two CLKB cycles have not elapsed since
the time the word was written. The empty flag of the FIFO is
set HIGH by the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB,
and the new data word can be read to the FIFO output register
in the following cycle.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKB begins the first synchronized cycle of a write if the clock transition occurs at time
tSKEW1 or greater after the write. Otherwise, the subsequent

4).
FULL FLAG (FF)
The FIFO full flag is synchronized to the port clock that
writes data to its array (CLKA). When the full flag is HIGH, an
SRAM location is free to receive new data. No memory
locations are free when the full flag is LOW and attempted
writes to the FIFO are ignored.
Each time a word is written to the FIFO, its write pointer is
incremented. The state machine that controls the full flag
monitors a write pointer and read pointer comparator that
indicates when the FIFO SRAM status is full, full-1, or full-2.
From the time a word is read from the FIFO, its previous
memory location is ready to be written in a minimum of three
port-A clock cycles. Therefore, a full flag is LOW if less than
two CLKA cycles have elapsed since the next memory write
location has been read. The second LOW-to-HIGH transition
on CLKA after the read sets the full flag HIGH and data can be
written in the following clock cycle.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA begins the first synchronization cycle of a read if the clock transition occurs at
time tSKEW1 or greater after the read. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle can be the first synchronization cycle (see
figure 5).
ALMOST-EMPTY FLAG (AE)
The FIFO almost empty-flag is synchronized to the port
clock that reads data from its array (CLKB). The state
machine that controls the almost-empty flag monitors a write
pointer and read pointer comparator that indicates when the
FIFO SRAM status is almost empty, almost empty+1, or
almost empty+2. The almost-empty state is defined by the
value of the almost-full and almost-empty offset register (X).
This register is loaded with one of four preset values during a
device reset (see reset above). The almost-empty flag is LOW
when the FIFO contains X or less words in memory and is
HIGH when the FIFO contains (X+1) or more words.
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions on the port-B clock (CLKB)
are required after a FIFO write for the almost-empty flag to
reflect the new level of fill. Therefore, the almost-empty flag
of a FIFO containing (X+1) or more words remains LOW if two
CLKB cycles have not elapsed since the write that filled the
memory to the (X+1) level. The almost-empty flag is set HIGH
by the second CLKB LOW-to-HIGH transition after the FIFO
write that fills memory to the (X+1) level. A LOW-to-HIGH
transition on CLKB begins the first synchronization cycle if it
occurs at time tSKEW2 or greater after the write that fills the
FIFO to (X+1) words. Otherwise, the subsequent CLKB cycle
can be the first synchronization cycle (see figure 6).
ALMOST FULL FLAG (AF)
The FIFO almost-full flag is synchronized to the port clock
that writes data to its array (CLKA). The state machine that
controls an almost-full flag monitors a write pointer and read
pointer comparator that indicates when the FIFO SRAM
status is almost full, almost full-1, or almost full-2. The almostfull state is defined by the value of the almost-full and almost10
IDT723611 CMOS SyncFIFO
64 x 36
empty offset register (X). This register is loaded with one of
four preset values during a device reset (see reset above).
The almost-full flag is LOW when the FIFO contains (64-X) or
more words in memory and is HIGH when the FIFO contains
[64-(X+1)] or less words.
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions on the port-A clock (CLKA)
are required after a FIFO read for the almost-full flag to reflect
the new level of fill. Therefore, the almost-full flag of a FIFO
containing [64-(X+1)] or less words remains LOW if two CLKA
cycles have not elapsed since the read that reduced the
number of words in memory to [64-(X+1)]. The almost-full flag
is set HIGH by the second CLKA LOW-to-HIGH transition
after the FIFO read that reduces the number of words in
memory to [64-(X+1)]. A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA
begins the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time tSKEW2
or greater after the read that reduces the number of words in
memory to [64-(X+1)]. Otherwise, the subsequent CLKA
cycle can be the first synchronization cycle (see figure 7).
MAILBOX REGISTERS
Two 36-bit bypass registers are on the IDT723611 to pass
command and control information between port A and port B.
The mailbox-select (MBA, MBB) inputs choose between a
mail register and a FIFO for a port data transfer operation. A
LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA writes A0-A35 data to the
mail1 register when port-A write is selected by CSA, W/RA,
and ENA with MBA HIGH. A LOW-to-HIGH transition on
CLKB writes B0-B35 data to the mail2 register when port-B
write is selected by CSB, W/RB, and ENB with MBB HIGH.
Writing data to a mail register sets its corresponding flag
(MBF1 or MBF2) LOW. Attempted writes to a mail register are
ignored while its mail flag is LOW.
When the port-B data (B0-B35) outputs are active, the data
on the bus comes from the FIFO output register when the portB mailbox select (MBB) input is LOW and from the mail1
register when MBB is HIGH. Mail2 data is always present on
the port-A data (A0-A35) outputs when they are active. The
mail1 register flag (MBF1) is set HIGH by a LOW-to-HIGH
transition on CLKB when a port-B read is selected by CSB, W/
RB, and ENB with MBB HIGH. The mail2 register flag (MBF2)
is set HIGH by a LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA when a
port-A read is selected by CSA, W/RA, and ENA with MBA
HIGH. The data in a mail register remains intact after it is read
and changes only when new data is written to the register.
PARITY CHECKING
The port-A (A0-A35) inputs and port-B (B0-B35) inputs
each have four parity trees to check the parity of incoming (or
outgoing) data. A parity failure on one or more bytes of the
input bus is reported by a LOW level on the port parity error flag
(PEFA, PEFB). Odd or even parity checking can be selected,
and the parity error flags can be ignored if this feature is not
desired.
Parity status is checked on each input bus according to the
level of the odd/even parity (ODD/EVEN) select input. A parity
error on one or more bytes of a port is reported by a LOW level
COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGES
on the corresponding port parity error flag (PEFA, PEFB)
output. Port-A bytes are arranged as A0-A8, A9-A17, A18A26, and A27-A35, and port-B bytes are arranged as B0-B8,
B9-B17, B18-B26, and B27-B35. When odd/even parity is
selected, a port parity error flag (PEFA, PEFB) is LOW if any
byte on the port has an odd/even number of LOW levels
applied to its bits.
The four parity trees used to check the A0-A35 inputs are
shared by the mail2 register when parity generation is selected for port-A reads (PGA=HIGH). When port-A read from
the mail2 register with parity generation is selected with CSA
LOW, ENA HIGH, W/RA LOW, MBA HIGH, and PGA HIGH,
the port-A parity error flag (PEFA) is held HIGH regardless of
the levels applied to the A0-A35 inputs. Likewise, the parity
trees used to check the B0-B35 inputs are shared by the mail1
register when parity generation is selected for port-B reads
(PGB=HIGH). When a port-B read from the mail1 register with
parity generation is selected with CSB LOW, ENB HIGH, W/
RB LOW, MBB HIGH, and PGB HIGH, the port-B parity error
flag (PEFB) is held HIGH regardless of the levels applied to the
B0-B35 inputs.
PARITY GENERATION
A HIGH level on the port-A parity generate select (PGA) or
port-B generate select (PGB) enables the IDT723611 to
generate parity bits for port reads from a FIFO or mailbox
register. Port-A bytes are arranged as A0-A8, A9-A17, A18A26, and A27-A35, with the most significant bit of each byte
used as the parity bit. Port-B bytes are arranged as B0-B8, B9B17, B18-B26, and B27-B35, with the most significant bit of
each byte used as the parity bit. A write to a FIFO or mail
register stores the levels applied to all thirty-six inputs regardless of the state of the parity generate select (PGA, PGB)
inputs. When data is read from a port with parity generation
selected, the lower eight bits of each byte are used to generate
a parity bit according to the level on the ODD/EVEN select.
The generated parity bits are substituted for the levels originally written to the most significant bits of each byte as the
word is read to the data outputs.
Parity bits for FIFO data are generated after the data is
read from SRAM and before the data is written to the output
register. Therefore, the port-B parity generate select (PGB)
and ODD/EVEN have setup and hold time constraints to the
port-B clock (CLKB) for a rising edge of CLKB used to read a
new word to the FIFO output register.
The circuit used to generate parity for the mail1 data is
shared by the port-B bus (B0-B35) to check parity and the
circuit used to generate parity for the mail2 data is shared by
the port-A bus (A0-A35) to check parity. The shared parity
trees of a port are used to generate parity bits for the data in
a mail register when the port write/read select (W/RA, W/RB)
input is LOW, the port mail select (MBA, MBB) input is HIGH,
chip select (CSA, CSB) is LOW, enable (ENA, ENB) is HIGH,
and the port parity generate select (PGA, PGB) is HIGH.
Generating parity for mail register data does not change the
contents of the register.

CALCULATING POWER DISSIPATION
The ICC(f) data for the graph was taken while simultaneously reading and writing the FIFO on the IDT723611 with
CLKA and CLKB operating at frequency fS. All data inputs and data outputs change state during each clock cycle to
consume the highest supply current. Data outputs were disconnected to normalize the graph to a zero-capacitance load.
Once the capacitance load per data-output channel is known, the power dissipation can be calculated with the equation
below.
With ICC(f) taken from FIgure 14, the maximum power dissipation (PT) of the IDT723611 may be calculated by:
PT = VCC x ICC(f) + ∑(CL x VOH - VOL)2 X fO)
where:
CL
=
fO
=
output capacitance load
switching frequency of an output
VOH
=
output high-level voltage
VOL
=
output low-level voltage
When no read or writes are occurring on the IDT723611, the power dissipated by a single clock (CLKA or CLKB) input
running at frequency fS is calculated by:
PT = VCC x fS x 0.290 mA/MHz
