DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Communication between each port may bypass the FIFO via two mailbox
registers. The mailbox registers' width matches the selected Port B bus width.
Each mailbox register has a flag (MBF1 and MBF2) to signal when new mail
has been stored.
Two kinds of reset are available on these FIFOs: Reset and Partial Reset.
Reset initializes the read and write pointers to the first location of the memory
array and selects serial flag programming, parallel flag programming, or one
of three possible default flag offset settings, 8, 16 or 64.
Partial Reset also sets the read and write pointers to the first location of the
memory. Unlike Reset, any settings existing prior to Partial Reset (i.e.,
programming method and partial flag default offsets) are retained. Partial Reset
The 256/512/1,024 x 36 dual-port SRAM FIFO buffers data from port A to port
B. FIFO data on Port B can output in 36-bit, 18-bit, or 9-bit formats with a choice
of Big- or Little-Endian configurations.
These devices are synchronous (clocked) FIFOs, 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 asynchronous or
coincident. The enables for each port are arranged to provide a simple
bidirectional interface between microprocessors and/or buses with synchronous control.

COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE
FF/IR and AF are two-stage synchronized to the port clock that writes data
into its array. EF/OR and AE are two-stage synchronized to the port clock that
reads data from its array. Programmable offsets for AE and AF are loaded in
parallel using Port A or in serial via the SD input. The Serial Programming Mode
pin (SPM) makes this selection. Three default offset settings are also provided.
The AE threshold can be set at 8, 16 or 64 locations from the empty boundary
and the AF threshold can be set at 8, 16 or 64 locations from the full boundary.
All these choices are made using the FS0 and FS1 inputs during Reset.
Two or more devices may be used in parallel to create wider data paths.
In First Word Fall Through mode, more than one device may be connected in
series to create greater word depths. The addition of external components is
unnecessary.
If, at any time, the FIFO is not actively performing a function, the chip will
automatically power down. During the power down state, supply current
consumption (ICC) is at a minimum. Initiating any operation (by activating control
inputs) will immediately take the device out of the Power Down state.
The IDT723623/723633/723643 are characterized for operation from 0°C
to 70°C. Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) is available by special
order. They are fabricated using IDT’s high speed, submicron CMOS
technology.
is useful since it permits flushing of the FIFO memory without changing any
configuration settings.
These devices have two modes of operation: In the IDT Standard mode,
the first word written to an empty FIFO is deposited into the memory array. A
read operation is required to access that word (along with all other words
residing in memory). 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 (Nevertheless, accessing subsequent words does necessitate a formal read request). The state of the BE/FWFT pin during Reset
determines the mode in use.
The FIFO has a combined Empty/Output Ready Flag (EF/OR ) and a
combined Full/Input Ready Flag (FF/IR). The EF and FF functions are selected
in the IDT Standard mode. EF indicates whether or not the FIFO memory is
empty. FF shows whether the memory is full or not. The IR and OR functions
are selected in the First Word Fall Through mode. IR indicates whether or not
the FIFO has available memory locations. OR shows whether the FIFO has data
available for reading or not. It marks the presence of valid data on the outputs.
The FIFO has a programmable Almost-Empty flag (AE) and a programmable Almost-Full flag (AF). AE indicates when a selected number of words
remain in the FIFO memory achieve a predetermined "almost-empty state". AF
indicates when the FIFO contains more than a selected number of words.

DETERMINING ACTIVE CURRENT CONSUMPTION AND POWER DISSIPATION
The ICC(f) current for the graph in Figure 1 was taken while simultaneously reading and writing a FIFO on the IDT723623/723633/723643 with CLKA
and CLKB set to 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 and the number of IDT723623/723633/723643 inputs
driven by TTL HIGH levels are known, the power dissipation can be calculated with the equation below.
CALCULATING POWER DISSIPATION
With ICC(f) taken from Figure 1, the maximum power dissipation (PT) of these FIFOs may be calculated by:
PT = VCC x [ICC(f) + (N x ∆ICC x dc)] + Σ(CL x VCC2 X fo)

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
A HIGH on the BE/FWFT input when the Reset (RS1) input goes from
LOW to HIGH will select a Big-Endian arrangement. In this case, the most
significant byte (word) of the long word written to Port A will be read from Port
B first; the least significant byte (word) of the long word written to Port A will be
read from Port B last.
A LOW on the BE/FWFT input when the Reset (RS1) input goes from LOW
to HIGH will select a Little-Endian arrangement. In this case, the least significant
byte (word) of the long word written to Port A will be read from Port B first; the
most significant byte (word) of the long word written to Port A will be read from
Port B last. Refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of the BE function. See Figure
3 (Reset) for an Endian select timing diagram.
RESET (RS1/RS2)
After power up, a Reset operation must be performed by providing a LOW
pulse to RS1 and RS2 simultaneously. Afterwards, the FIFO memory of the
IDT723623/723633/723643 undergoes a complete reset by taking its Reset
(RS1 and RS2) input LOW for at least four Port A clock (CLKA) and four Port
B clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The Reset inputs can switch
asynchronously to the clocks. A Reset initializes the internal read and write
pointers and forces the Full/Input Ready flag (FF/IR) LOW, the Empty/Output
Ready flag (EF/OR) LOW, the Almost-Empty flag (AE) LOW, and the AlmostFull flag (AF) HIGH. A Reset (RS1) also forces the Mailbox flag (MBF1) of the
parallel mailbox register HIGH, and at the same time the RS2 and MBF2 operate
likewise. After a Reset, the FIFO’s Full/Input Ready flag is set HIGH after two
write clock cycles to begin normal operation.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on the FlFO Reset (RS1) input latches the value
of the Big-Endian (BE) input for determining the order by which bytes are
transferred through Port B.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on the FlFO Reset (RS1) input also latches the
values of the Flag Select (FS0, FS1) and Serial Programming Mode (SPM)
inputs for choosing the Almost-Full and Almost-Empty offset programming
method (for details see Table 1, Flag Programming, and Almost-Empty and
Almost-Full flag offset programming section).The relevant Reset timing diagram
can be found in Figure 3.
— TIMING MODE SELECTION
After Reset, the FWFT select function is active, permitting a choice between
two possible timing modes: IDT Standard mode or First Word Fall Through
(FWFT) mode. Once the Reset (RS1) input is HIGH, a HIGH on the BE/FWFT
input during the next LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA and CLKB will select IDT
Standard mode. This mode uses the Empty Flag function (EF) to indicate
whether or not there are any words present in the FIFO memory. It uses the
Full Flag function (FF) to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free
space for writing. In IDT Standard mode, every word read from the FIFO,
including the first, must be requested using a formal read operation.
Once the Reset (RS1) input is HIGH, a LOW on the BE/FWFT input during
the next LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA and CLKB will select FWFT mode.
This mode uses the Output Ready function (OR) to indicate whether or not there
is valid data at the data outputs (B0-B35). It also uses the Input Ready function
(IR) to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space for writing.
In the FWFT mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO goes directly to data
outputs, no read request necessary. Subsequent words must be accessed by
performing a formal read operation.
Following Reset, the level applied to the BE/FWFT input to choose the
desired timing mode must remain static throughout FIFO operation. Refer to
Figure 3 (Reset) for a First Word Fall Through select timing diagram.
PARTIAL RESET (PRS)
The FIFO memory of the IDT723623/723633/723643 undergoes a
limited reset by taking its associated Partial Reset (PRS) input LOW for at least
four Port A clock (CLKA) and four Port B clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions.
The Partial Reset input can switch asynchronously to the clocks. A Partial Reset
initializes the internal read and write pointers and forces the Full/Input Ready
flag (FF/IR) LOW, the Empty/Output Ready flag (EF/OR) LOW, the AlmostEmpty flag (AE) LOW, and the Almost-Full flag (AF) HIGH. A Partial Reset also
forces the Mailbox flag (MBF1, MBF2) of the parallel mailbox register HIGH.
After a Partial Reset, the FIFO’s Full/Input Ready flag is set HIGH after two clock
cycles to begin normal operation. See Figure 4, Partial Reset (IDTStandard
and FWFT Modes) for the relevant timing diagram.
Whatever flag offsets, programming method (parallel or serial), and timing
mode (FWFT or IDT Standard mode) are currently selected at the time a Partial
Reset is initiated, those settings will be remain unchanged upon completion of
the reset operation. A Partial Reset may be useful in the case where
reprogramming a FIFO following a Reset would be inconvenient.
PROGRAMMING THE ALMOST-EMPTY AND ALMOST-FULL FLAGS
Two registers in the IDT723623/723633/723643 are used to hold the
offset values for the Almost-Empty and Almost-Full flags. The Almost-Empty flag
(AE) Offset register is labeled X and Almost-Full flag (AF) Offset register is labeled
Y. The offset registers can be loaded with preset values during the reset of the
FIFO, programmed in parallel using the FIFO’s Port A data inputs, or
programmed in serial using the Serial Data (SD) input (see Table 1). SPM, FS0/
SD and FS1/SEN function the same way in both IDT Standard and FWFT
modes.
BIG-ENDIAN/FIRST WORD FALL THROUGH (BE/FWFT)
— PRESET VALUES
To load a FIFO’s Almost-Empty flag and Almost-Full flag Offset registers
with one of the three preset values listed in Table 1, the Serial Program Mode
(SPM) and at least one of the flag-select inputs must be HIGH during the LOWto-HIGH transition of the Reset input (RS1). For example, to load the preset
value of 64 into X and Y, SPM, FS0 and FS1 must be HIGH when RS1 returns
HIGH. For the relevant preset value loading timing diagram, see Figure 3.
— ENDIAN SELECTION
This is a dual purpose pin. At the time of Reset, the BE select function is
active, permitting a choice of Big- or Little-Endian byte arrangement for data read
from Port B. This selection determines the order by which bytes (or words) of
data are transferred through this port. For the following illustrations, assume that
a byte (or word) bus size has been selected for Port B. (Note that when Port
B is configured for a long word size, the Big-Endian function has no application
and the BE input is a “don’t care”1.)
NOTE:
1. Either a HIGH or LOW can be applied to a “don’t care” input with no change to the logical operation of the FIFO. Nevertheless, inputs that are temporarily “don’t care” (along with unused
inputs) must not be left open, rather they must be either HIGH or LOW.

IDT723643. After all the offset registers are programmed from Port A the FIFO
begins normal operation.
— PARALLEL LOAD FROM PORT A
To program the X and Y registers from Port A, perform a Reset on with
SPM HIGH and FS0 and FS1 LOW during the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RS1.
After this reset is complete, the first two writes to the FIFO do not store data in
RAM. The first two write cycles load the offset registers in the order Y, X. On
the third write cycle the FIFO is ready to be loaded with a data word. See Figure
5, Parallel Programming of the Almost-Full Flag and Almost-Empty Flag
Offset Values after Reset (IDT Standard and FWFT modes), for a detailed
timing diagram. The Port A data inputs used by the offset registers are (A7-A0),
(A8-A0), or (A9-A0) for the IDT723623, IDT723633 or IDT723643, respectively. The highest numbered input is used as the most significant bit of the binary
number in each case. Valid programming values for the registers range from
— SERIAL LOAD
To program the X and Y registers serially, initiate a Reset with SPM LOW,
FS0/SD LOW and FS1/SEN HIGH during the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RS1.
After this reset is complete, the X and Y register values are loaded bit-wise
through the FS0/SD input on each LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA that the
FS1/SEN input is LOW. There are 16-, 18- or 20-bit writes are needed to
complete the programming for the IDT723623, IDT723633, or IDT723643,
respectively. The two registers are written in the order Y, X. Each register value

can be programmed from 1 to 508 (IDT723623), 1 to 1,020 (IDT723633), or
1 to 2,044 (IDT723643).
When the option to program the offset registers serially is chosen, the Full/
Input Ready (FF/IR) flag remains LOW until all register bits are written. FF/IR
is set HIGH by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA after the last bit is loaded
to allow normal FIFO operation.
See Figure 6, Serial Programming of the Almost-Full Flag and AlmostEmpty Flag Offset Values after Reset (IDT Standard and FWFT Modes).
SYNCHRONIZED FIFO FLAGS
Each FIFO is synchronized to its port clock through at least two flip-flop
stages. This is done to improve flag-signal reliability by reducing the probability
of metastable events when CLKA and CLKB operate asynchronously to one
another. FF/IR, and AF are synchronized to CLKA. EF/OR and AE are
synchronized to CLKB. Table 4 shows the relationship of each port flag to the
number of words stored in memory.
FIFO WRITE/READ OPERATION
The state of the Port A data (A0-A35) lines is controlled by Port A Chip Select
(CSA) and Port A Write/Read Select (W/RA). The A0-A35 lines are in the Highimpedance state when either CSA or W/RA is HIGH. The A0-A35 lines are active
outputs when both CSA and W/RA are LOW.
Data is loaded into the FIFO 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 FF/IR is HIGH (see Table 2). FIFO writes on Port A are independent
of any concurrent reads on Port B.
The Port B control signals are identical to those of Port A with the exception
that the Port B Write/Read select (W/RB) is the inverse of the Port A Write/Read
select (W/RA). The state of the Port B data (B0-B35) lines is controlled by the
Port B Chip Select (CSB) and Port B Write/Read select (W/RB). The B0-B35
lines are in the high-impedance state when either CSB is HIGH or W/RB is LOW.
The B0-B35 lines are active outputs when CSB is LOW and W/RB is HIGH.
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 HIGH, ENB is HIGH, MBB is
LOW, and EF/OR is HIGH (see Table 3). FIFO reads on Port B are
independent of any concurrent writes on Port A.
The setup and hold time constraints to the port clocks for the port Chip
Selects and Write/Read selects 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 may
change states during the setup and hold time window of the cycle.
When operating the FIFO in FWFT mode and the Output Ready flag is
LOW, the next word written is automatically sent to the FIFO’s output register
by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the port clock that sets the Output Ready flag
HIGH. When the Output Ready flag is HIGH, data residing in the FIFO’s memory
array is clocked to the output register only when a read is selected using the
port’s Chip Select, Write/Read select, Enable, and Mailbox select.
When operating the FIFO in IDT Standard mode, regardless of whether
the Empty Flag is LOW or HIGH, data residing in the FIFO’s memory array is
EMPTY/OUTPUT READY FLAGS (EF/OR)
These are dual purpose flags. In the FWFT mode, the Output Ready (OR)
function is selected. When the Output-Ready flag is HIGH, new data is present
in the FIFO output register. When the Output Ready flag is LOW, the previous
data word is present in the FIFO output register and attempted FIFO reads are
ignored.
In the IDT Standard mode, the Empty Flag (EF) function is selected. When
the Empty Flag is HIGH, data is available in the FIFO’s memory for reading to
the output register. When the Empty Flag is LOW, the previous data word is
present in the FIFO output register and attempted FIFO reads are ignored.
The Empty/Output Ready flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock
that reads data from its array (CLKB). For both the FWFT and IDT Standard
modes, the FIFO read pointer is incremented each time a new word is clocked
to its output register. The state machine that controls an Output Ready flag
monitors a write pointer and read pointer comparator that indicates when the
FIFO memory status is empty, empty+1, or empty+2.
In FWFT mode, from the time a word is written to a FIFO, it can be shifted
to the FIFO output register in a minimum of three cycles of the Output Ready
flag synchronizing clock. Therefore, an Output Ready flag is LOW if a word in
memory is the next data to be sent to the FlFO output register and three cycles
of the port Clock that reads data from the FIFO have not elapsed since the time
the word was written. The Output Ready flag of the FIFO remains LOW until
the third LOW-to-HIGH transition of the synchronizing clock occurs, simultaneously forcing the Output Ready flag HIGH and shifting the word to the FIFO
output register.
In IDT Standard mode, from the time a word is written to a FIFO, the Empty
Flag will indicate the presence of data available for reading in a minimum of two

NOTES:
1. When a word loaded to an empty FIFO is shifted to the output register, its previous FIFO memory location is free.
2. Data in the output register does not count as a "word in FIFO memory". Since in FWFT mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO goes unrequested to the output
register (no read operation necessary), it is not included in the memory count.
3. X is the almost-empty offset used by AE. Y is the almost-full offset used by AF. Both X and Y are selected during a FIFO reset or Port A programming.

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 FlFO 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 remains LOW until
the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of the synchronizing clock occurs, forcing
the Empty Flag HIGH; only then can data be read.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on an Empty/Output Ready flag synchronizing
clock begins the first synchronization cycle of a write if the clock transition occurs
at time tSKEW1 or greater after the write. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle
can be the first synchronization cycle (see Figures 10 and 11).
FULL/INPUT READY FLAGS (FF/IR)
This is a dual purpose flag. In FWFT mode, the Input Ready (IR) function
is selected. In IDT Standard mode, the Full Flag (FF) function is selected. For
both timing modes, when the Full/Input Ready flag is HIGH, a memory location
is free in the FIFO to receive new data. No memory locations are free when the
Full/Input Ready flag is LOW and attempted writes to the FIFO are ignored.
The Full/Input Ready flag of a FlFO is synchronized to the port clock that
writes data to its array (CLKA). For both FWFT and IDT Standard modes, each
time a word is written to a FIFO, its write pointer is incremented. The state machine
that controls a Full/Input Ready flag monitors a write pointer and read pointer
comparator that indicates when the FlFO memory status is full, full-1, or full-2.
From the time a word is read from a FIFO, its previous memory location is ready
to be written to in a minimum of two cycles of the Full/Input Ready flag
synchronizing clock. Therefore, an Full/Input Ready flag is LOW if less than two
cycles of the Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing clock have elapsed since the
next memory write location has been read. The second LOW-to-HIGH transition
on the Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing clock after the read sets the Full/Input
Ready flag HIGH.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on a Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing clock
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 Figures 13 and 14).
ALMOST-EMPTY FLAG (AE)
The Almost-Empty flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that reads
data from its array (CLKB). The state machine that controls an Almost-Empty flag
monitors a write pointer and read pointer comparator that indicates when the
FIFO memory status is almost-empty, almost-empty+1, or almost-empty+2. The
Almost-Empty state is defined by the contents of register X. These registers are
loaded with preset values during a FIFO reset, programmed from Port A, or
programmed serially (see Almost-Empty flag and Almost-Full flag offset programming section). An Almost-Empty flag is LOW when its FIFO contains X or less
words and is HIGH when its FIFO contains (X+1) or more words. Note that a
data word present in the FIFO output register has been read from memory.
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the Almost-Empty flag synchronizing clock
are required after a FIFO write for its 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 its 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 its synchronizing clock after the FIFO
write that fills memory to the (X+1) level. A LOW-to-HIGH transition of an AlmostEmpty flag synchronizing clock 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 synchronizing clock cycle may be the first synchronization cycle. (See Figure 15).
13
ALMOST-FULL FLAG (AF)
The Almost-Full flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes
data to its array. The state machine that controls an Almost-Full flag monitors a
write pointer and read pointer comparator that indicates when the FIFO memory
status is almost-full, almost-full-1, or almost-full-2. The Almost-Full state is defined
by the contents of register Y. These registers are loaded with preset values
during a FlFO reset or, programmed from Port A, or programmed serially (see
Almost-Empty flag and Almost-Full flag offset programming section). An AlmostFull flag is LOW when the number of words in its FIFO is greater than or equal
to (256-Y), (512-Y), or (1,024-Y) for the IDT723623, IDT723633, or IDT723643
respectively. An Almost-Full flag is HIGH when the number of words in its FIFO
is less than or equal to [256-(Y+1)], [512-(Y+1)], or [1,024-(Y+1)] for the
IDT723623, IDT723633, or IDT723643 respectively. Note that a data word
present in the FIFO output register has been read from memory.
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the Almost-Full flag synchronizing clock
are required after a FIFO read for its Almost-Full flag to reflect the new level of
fill. Therefore, the Almost-Full flag of a FIFO containing [256/512/1,024-(Y+1)]
or less words remains LOW if two cycles of its synchronizing clock have not
elapsed since the read that reduced the number of words in memory to [256/
512/1,024-(Y+1)]. An Almost-Full flag is set HIGH by the second LOW-to-HIGH
transition of its synchronizing clock after the FIFO read that reduces the number
of words in memory to [256/512/1,024-(Y+1)]. A LOW-to-HIGH transition of an
Almost-Full flag synchronizing clock 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 [256/512/1024-(Y+1)]. Otherwise, the subsequent synchronizing
clock cycle may be the first synchronization cycle. (See Figure 16).
MAILBOX REGISTERS
Two 36-bit bypass registers are on the IDT723623/723633/723643 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. The usable width of both
the Mail1 and Mail2 registers matches the selected bus size for Port B.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA writes data to the Mail1 Register when
a Port A write is selected by CSA, W/RA, and ENA with MBA HIGH. If the selected
Port B bus size is 36 bits, the usable width of the Mail1 register employs data
lines A0-A35. If the selected Port B bus size is 18 bits, then the usable width of
the Mail1 Register employs data lines A0-A17. (In this case, A18-A35 are don’t
care inputs.) If the selected Port B bus size is 9 bits, then the usable width of the
Mail1 Register employs data lines A0-A8. (In this case, A9-A35 are don’t care
inputs.)
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 with MBB
HIGH. If the selected Port B bus size is 36 bits, the usable width of the Mail2
employs data lines B0-B35. If the selected Port B bus size is 18 bits, then the
usable width of the Mail2 Register employs data lines B0-B17. (In this case, B18B35 are don’t care inputs.) If the selected Port B bus size is 9 bits, then the usable
width of the Mail2 Register employs data lines B0-B8. (In this case, B9-B35 are
don’t care inputs.)
Writing data to a mail register sets its corresponding flag (MBF1 or MBF2)
LOW. Attempted writes to a mail register are ignored while the mail flag is LOW.
When data outputs of a port are active, the data on the bus comes from the
FIFO output register when the port Mailbox Select input is LOW and from the
mail register when the port Mailbox Select input 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 with MBB
IDT723623/723633/723643 BUS-MATCHING SyncFIFO™
256 x 36, 512 x 36, 1,024 x 36
HIGH. For a 36-bit bus size, 36 bits of mailbox data are placed on B0-B35. For
an 18-bit bus size, 18 bits of mailbox data are placed on B0-B17. (In this case,
B18-B35 are indeterminate.) For a 9-bit bus size, 9 bits of mailbox data are
placed on B0-B8. (In this case, B9-B35 are indeterminate.)
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.
For a 36-bit bus size, 36 bits of mailbox data are placed on A0-A35. For
an 18-bit bus size, 18 bits of mailbox data are placed on A0-A17. (In this case,
A18-A35 are indeterminate.) For a 9-bit bus size, 9 bits of mailbox data are
placed on A0-A8. (In this case, A9-A35 are indeterminate.)
The data in a mail register remains intact after it is read and changes only
when new data is written to the register. The Endian Select feature has no effect
on mailbox data. For mail register and mail register flag timing diagrams, see
Figure 17 and 18.
BUS SIZING
The Port B bus can be configured in a 36-bit long word, 18-bit word, or
9-bit byte format for data read from the FIFO. The levels applied to the Port B
Bus Size Select (SIZE) and the Bus-Match Select (BM) determine the Port B
bus size. These levels should be static throughout FIFO operation. Both bus
size selections are implemented at the completion of Reset, by the time the Full/
Input Ready flag is set HIGH, as shown in Figure 2.
Two different methods for sequencing data transfer are available for Port
B when the bus size selection is either byte-or word-size. They are referred
to as Big-Endian (most significant byte first) and Little-Endian (least significant
byte first). The level applied to the Big-Endian Select (BE) input during the LOW-
COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE
to-HIGH transition of RS1 selects the endian method that will be active during
FIFO operation. BE is a don’t care input when the bus size selected for Port B
is long word. The endian method is implemented at the completion of Reset, by
the time the Full/Input Ready flag is set HIGH, as shown in Figure 2.
Only 36-bit long word data is written to or read from the FIFO memory
on the IDT723623/723633/723643. Bus-matching operations are done after
data is read from the FIFO RAM. These bus-matching operations are not
available when transferring data via mailbox registers. Furthermore, both the
word- and byte-size bus selections limit the width of the data bus that can be used
for mail register operations. In this case, only those byte lanes belonging to the
selected word- or byte-size bus can carry mailbox data. The remaining data
outputs will be indeterminate. The remaining data inputs will be don’t care inputs.
For example, when a word-size bus is selected, then mailbox data can be
transmitted only between A0-A17 and B0-B17. When a byte-size bus is
selected, then mailbox data can be transmitted only between A0-A8 and B0B8. (See Figures 17 and 18).
BUS-MATCHING FIFO READS
Data is read from the FIFO RAM in 36-bit long word increments. If a long
word bus size is implemented, the entire long word immediately shifts to the FIFO
output register. If byte or word size is implemented on Port B, only the first one
or two bytes appear on the selected portion of the FIFO output register, with the
rest of the long word stored in auxiliary registers. In this case, subsequent FIFO
reads output the rest of the long word to the FIFO output register in the order
shown by Figure 2.
When reading data from FIFO in byte or word format, the unused B0-B35
outputs are indeterminate.

NOTE:
1. If Port B is configured for word size, data can be written to the Mail2 Register using B0-B17 (B18-B35 are don't care inputs). In this first case A0-A17 will have valid data (A18-A35 will
be indeterminate). If Port B is configured for byte size, data can be written to the Mail2 Register using B0-B8 (B9-B35 are don't care inputs). In this second case, A0-A8 will have valid
data (A9-A35 will be indeterminate).

NOTES:
1. Mailbox feature is not supported in depth expansion applications. (MBA + MBB tie to GND)
2. Transfer clock should be set either to the Write Port Clock (CLKA) or the Read Port Clock (CLKB), whichever is faster.
3. The amount of time it takes for EF/OR of the last FIFO in the chain to go HIGH (i.e. valid data to appear on the last FIFO’s outputs) after a word has been written to the first FIFO
is the sum of the delays for each individual FIFO: (N - 1)*(4*transfer clock) + 3*TRCLK, where N is the number of FIFOs in the expansion and TRCLK is the CLKB period.
4. The amount of time it takes for FF/IR of the first FIFO in the chain to go HIGH after a word has been read from the last FIFO is the sum of the delays for each individual FIFO:
(N - 1)*(3*transfer clock) + 2*TWCLK, where N is the number of FIFOs in the expansion and TWCLK is the CLKA period.
