description
The SN74ABT3612 is a high-speed, low-power BiCMOS bidirectional clocked FIFO memory. It supports clock
frequencies up to 67 MHz and has read access times as fast as 10 ns. Two independent 64 × 36 dual-port SRAM
FIFOs in this device buffer data in opposite directions. Each FIFO has flags to indicate empty and full conditions
and two programmable flags (almost-full and almost-empty) to indicate when a selected number of words is
stored in memory. Communication between each port can bypass the FIFOs via two 36-bit mailbox registers.
Each mailbox register has a flag to signal when new mail has been stored. Parity is checked passively on each
port and can be ignored if not desired. Parity generation can be selected for data read from each port. Two or
more devices can be used in parallel to create wider datapaths.
The SN74ABT3612 is a clocked FIFO, which means 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 asynchronous 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 (FFA, FFB) and almost-full (AFA, AFB) flag of a FIFO are two-stage synchronized to the port clock
that writes data to its array. The empty flag (EFA, EFB) and almost-empty (AEA, AEB) flag of a FIFO are
two-stage synchronized to the port clock that reads data from its array.
The SN74ABT3612 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

FIFO2 is less than or equal to the value in offset register X.
B0 – B35
I/O
Port-B data. The 36-bit bidirectional data port for side B.
CLKA
I
Port-A clock. CLKA is a continuous clock that synchronizes all data transfers through port A and can be asynchronous
or coincident to CLKB. EFA, FFA, AFA, and AEA are synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CLKA.
CLKB
I
Port-B clock. CLKB is a continuous clock that synchronizes all data transfers through port B and can be asynchronous
or coincident to CLKA. EFB, FFB, AFB, and AEB are synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CLKB.
CSA
I
Port-A chip select. CSA must be low to enable a low-to-high transition of CLKA to read or write data on port A. The
A0 – A35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when CSA is high.
CSB
I
Port-B chip select. CSB must be low to enable a low-to-high transition of CLKB to read or write data on port B. The
B0 – B35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when CSB is high.
EFA
O
(port A)
Port-A empty flag. EFA is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CLKA. When EFA is low, FIFO2 is empty and
reads from its memory are disabled. Data can be read from FIFO2 to the output register when EFA is high. EFA is forced
low when the device is reset and is set high by the second low-to-high transition of CLKA after data is loaded into empty
FIFO2 memory.
EFB
O
(port B)
Port-B empty flag. EFB is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CLKB. When EFB is low, FIFO1 is empty and
reads from its memory are disabled. Data can be read from FIFO1 to the output register when EFB is high. EFB 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
FIFO1 memory.
ENA
I
Port-A enable. ENA must be high to enable a low-to-high transition of CLKA to read or write data on port A.
ENB
I
Port-B enable. ENB must be high to enable a low-to-high transition of CLKB to read or write data on port B.
FFA
O
(port A)
Port-A full flag. FFA is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CLKA. When FFA is low, FIFO1 is full and writes
to its memory are disabled. FFA is forced low when the device is reset and is set high by the second low-to-high
transition of CLKA after reset.
FFB
O
(port B)
Port-B full flag. FFB is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CLKB. When FFB is low, FIFO2 is full and writes
to its memory are disabled. FFB is forced low when the device is reset and is set high by the second low-to-high
transition of CLKB after reset.
FS1, FS0
I
Flag-offset selects. The low-to-high transition of RST latches the values of FS0 and FS1, which selects one of four
preset values for the almost-empty flag and almost-full flag offset.
MBA
I
Port-A mailbox select. A high level on MBA chooses a mailbox register for a port-A read or write operation. When the
A0 – A35 outputs are active, a high level on MBA selects data from the mail2 register for output and a low level selects
FIFO2 output register data for output.
MBB
I
Port-B mailbox select. 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
FIFO1 output register data for output.
MBF1
O
Mail1 register flag. MBF1 is set low by the low-to-high transition of CLKA that writes data to the mail1 register. Writes
to the mail1 register are inhibited while MBF1 is 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.

DESCRIPTION
MBF2
O
Mail2 register flag. MBF2 is set low by the low-to-high transition of CLKB that writes data to the mail2 register. Writes
to the mail2 register are inhibited while MBF2 is low. MBF2 is set high by a low-to-high transition of CLKA when a port-A
read is selected and MBA is high. MBF2 is set high when the device is reset.
ODD/
EVEN
I
Odd/even parity select. 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
(port A)
Port-A parity error flag. When any byte applied to A0 – A35 fails parity, PEFA is low. 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 ODD/EVEN.
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 set up by having W/RA low,
MBA high, and PGA high, PEFA is forced high regardless of the state of the A0 – A35 inputs.
PEFB
O
(port B)
Port-B parity error flag. When any byte applied to terminals B0 – B35 fails parity, PEFB is low. Bytes are organized
as B0 – B8, B9 – B17, B18 – B26, and 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 ODD/EVEN.
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 set up by having W/RB low,
MBB high, and PGB high, PEFB is forced high regardless of the state of the B0 – B35 inputs.
PGA
I
Port-A parity generation. Parity is generated for data reads from port A when PGA is high. The type of parity
generated is selected by the state of ODD/EVEN. 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.
PGB
I
Port-B parity generation. Parity is generated for data reads from port B when PGB is high. The type of parity
generated is selected by the state of ODD/EVEN. 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.
RST
I
Reset. To reset the device, four low-to-high transitions of CLKA and four low-to-high transitions of CLKB must
occur while RST is low. This sets AFA, AFB, MBF1, and MBF2 high and EFA, EFB, AEA, AEB, FFA, and FFB low.
The low-to-high transition of RST latches the status of FS1 and FS0 to select almost-full flag and almost-empty
flag offset.
W/RA
I
Port-A write/read select. W/RA 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.
W/RB
I
Port-B write/read select. W/RB high selects a write operation and a low selects a read operation on port B for a
low-to-high transition of CLKB. The B0 – B35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when W/RB is high.
PEFA
detailed description
reset
The SN74ABT3612 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. RST can switch asynchronously to the clocks. A device reset
initializes the internal read and write pointers of each FIFO and forces the full flags (FFA, FFB) low, the empty
flags (EFA, EFB) low, the almost-empty flags (AEA, AEB) low, and the almost-full flags (AFA, AFB) high. A reset
also forces the mailbox flags (MBF1, MBF2) high. After a reset, FFA is set high after two low-to-high transitions
of CLKA and FFB is set high after two low-to-high transitions of CLKB. The device must be reset after power
up before data is written to its memory.
A low-to-high transition on RST 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 FIFO1 from the
A0– A35 inputs on a low-to-high transition of CLKA when CSA is low, W/RA is high, ENA is high, MBA is low,
and FFA is high. Data is read from FIFO2 to the A0 – A35 outputs by a low-to-high transition of CLKA when CSA
is low, W/RA is low, ENA is high, MBA is low, and EFA is high (see Table 2).

Mail2 read (set MBF2 high)
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 loaded into FIFO2 from the B0 – B35 inputs on a low-to-high transition of CLKB when CSB is low, W/RB
is high, ENB is high, MBB is low, and FFB is high. Data is read from FIFO1 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 high, and EFB is high (see
Table 3).
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-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 flag reliability

to one another. EFA, AEA, FFA, and AFA are synchronized to CLKA. EFB, AEB, FFB, and AFB are synchronized
to CLKB. Tables 4 and 5 show the relationship of each port flag to FIFO1 and FIFO2.

empty flags (EFA, EFB)
The empty flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that reads data from its array. 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 read pointer of a FIFO is incremented each time a new word is clocked to the output register. A word written
to a FIFO can be read to the FIFO output register in a minimum of three cycles of the empty flag synchronizing
clock; 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 cycles of the port clock that reads data from the FIFO 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 the synchronizing clock
and the new data word can be read to the FIFO output register in the following cycle.
A low-to-high transition on an empty flag synchronizing clock begins the first synchronization cycle of a write
if the clock transition occurs at time tsk1, or greater, after the write. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle can
be the first synchronization cycle (see Figures 6 and 7).
full flags (FFA, FFB)
The full flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes data to its array. When the full flag is high,
a memory location is free in the SRAM 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 a FIFO, the write pointer is incremented. From the time a word is read from a FIFO,
the previous memory location is ready to be written in a minimum of three cycles of the full flag synchronizing
clock; therefore, a full flag is low if less than two cycles of the full-flag synchronizing clock have elapsed since
the next memory write location has been read. The second low-to-high transition on the full-flag synchronizing
clock after the read sets the full flag high and data can be written in the following clock cycle.
A low-to-high transition on a full-flag synchronizing clock begins the first synchronization cycle of a read if the
clock transition occurs at time tsk1, or greater, after the read. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle can be the
first synchronization cycle (see Figures 8 and 9).
almost-empty flags (AEA, AEB)
The almost-empty flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that reads data from its array. 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). An 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 of the almost-empty flag synchronizing clock 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 cycles of the synchronizing clock have not elapsed since the write that filled
the memory to the (X + 1) level. An almost-empty flag is set high by the second low-to-high transition of the
synchronizing clock after the FIFO write that fills memory to the (X + 1) level. A low-to-high transition of an
almost-empty flag synchronizing clock begins the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time tsk2, or greater,
after the write that fills the FIFO to (X + 1) words. Otherwise, the subsequent synchronizing clock cycle can be
the first synchronization cycle (see Figures 11 and 12).
almost-full flags (AFA, AFB)
The almost-full flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes data to its array. The almost-full 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). An 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 of the almost-full flag synchronizing clock 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 cycles of the synchronizing clock have not elapsed since the read that reduced
the number of words in memory to [64 – (X + 1)]. An almost-full flag is set high by the second low-to-high

transition of the synchronizing clock after the FIFO read that reduces the number of words in memory to
[64 – (X + 1)]. A low-to-high transition of an almost-full flag synchronizing clock begins the first synchronization
cycle if it occurs at time tsk2, or greater, after the read that reduces the number of words in memory to
[64 – (X + 1)]. Otherwise, the subsequent synchronizing clock cycle can be the first synchronization cycle
(see Figures 13 and 14).
mailbox registers
Each FIFO has a 36-bit bypass register to pass command and control information between port A and port B
without putting it in queue. 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 a port-A write is selected by CSA, W/RA, and ENA and MBA is high. A low-to-high transition on CLKB
writes B0 – B35 data to the mail2 register when a port-B write is selected by CSB, W/RB, and ENB and MBB
is high. Writing data to a mail register sets the corresponding flag (MBF1 or MBF2) low. Attempted writes to a
mail register are ignored while the mail flag is low.
When a port’s data outputs are active, the data on the bus comes from the FIFO output register when the port
mailbox-select input (MBA, MBB) is low and from the mail register when MBA/MBB is high. 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 and MBB is 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 and MBA is 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 inputs (A0 – A35) and port-B inputs (B0 – B35) 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 on the corresponding PEFA, PEFB.
Port-A bytes are arranged as A0 – A8, A9 – A17, A18 – A26, and A27 – A35, with the most-significant bit of each
byte used as the parity bit. Port-B bytes are arranged as B0 – B8, B9 – B17, B18 – B26, and B27 – B35, with the
most-significant bit of each byte used as the parity bit. When odd/even parity is selected, PEFA, PEFB is low
if any byte on the port has an odd/even number of low levels applied to the 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 a port-A read from the mail2 register with parity generation is
selected with W/RA low, CSA low, ENA high, MBA high, and PGA high, 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 W/RB low, CSB low, ENB high, MBB high, and PGB
high, 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 parity-generate select (PGB) enables the
SN74ABT3612 to generate parity bits for port reads from a FIFO or mailbox register. Port-A bytes are arranged
as A0 – A8, A9 – A17, A18 – A26, and A27 – A35, with the most-significant bit of each byte used as the parity bit.
Port-B bytes are arranged as B0 – B8, B9 – B17, 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 36 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 generation (continued)
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-A parity generate select (PGA) and odd/even parity select (ODD/EVEN)
have setup- and hold-time constraints to the port-A clock (CLKA) and the port-B parity generate select (PGB)
and ODD/EVEN have setup- and hold-time constraints to the port-B clock (CLKB). These timing constraints
apply only for a rising clock edge 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 W/RA, W/RB
is low; MBA, MBB is high; CSA, CSB is low; ENA, ENB is high; and PGA, PGB is high. Generating parity for
mail-register data does not change the contents of the register.
