SN74ACT7808 2048 × 9 STROBED FIRST-IN, FIRST-OUT MEMORY SCAS205D – FEBRUARY 1991 – REVISED APRIL 1998 D D D D D Load Clocks and Unload Clocks Can Be Asynchronous or Coincident 2048 Words by 9 Bits Low-Power Advanced CMOS Technology Fast Access Times of 15 ns With a 50-pF Load Programmable Almost-Full/Almost-Empty Flag D D D D D D Expansion Logic for Depth Cascading Empty, Full, and Half-Full Flags Fall-Through Time of 20 ns Typical Data Rates up to 50 MHz 3-State Outputs Package Options Include 44-Pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (FN), 64-Pin Thin Quad Flat (PM), and Reduced-Height 64-Pin Quad Flat (PAG) Packages description A FIFO memory is a storage device that allows data to be written into and read from its array at independent data rates. The SN74ACT7808 is a 2048-word by 9-bit FIFO designed for high speed and fast access times. It processes data at rates up to 50 MHz and access times of 15 ns in a bit-parallel format. Data is written into memory on a low-to-high transition at the load-clock (LDCK) input and is read out on a low-to-high transition at the unload-clock (UNCK) input. The memory is full when the number of words clocked in exceeds the number of words clocked out by 2048. When the memory is full, LDCK signals have no effect on the data residing in memory. When the memory is empty, UNCK signals have no effect. Status of the FIFO memory is monitored by the full (FULL), empty (EMPTY), half-full (HF), and almost-full/almost-empty (AF/AE) flags. The FULL output is low when the memory is full and high when the memory is not full. The EMPTY output is low when the memory is empty and high when it is not empty. The HF output is high when the FIFO contains 1024 or more words and is low when it contains 1023 or fewer words. The AF/AE status flag is a programmable flag. The first one or two low-to-high transitions of LDCK after reset can be used to program the almost-empty offset value (X) and the almost-full offset value (Y) if program enable (PEN) is low. The AF/AE flag is high when the FIFO contains X or fewer words or (2048 – Y) or more words. The AF/AE flag is low when the FIFO contains between (X + 1) and (2047 – Y) words. A low level on the reset (RESET) input resets the internal stack pointers and sets FULL high, AF/AE high, HF low, and EMPTY low. The Q outputs are not reset to any specific logic level. The first word loaded into empty memory causes EMPTY to go high and the data to appear on the Q outputs. It is important to note that the first word does not have to be unloaded. Data outputs are noninverting with respect to the data inputs and are in the high-impedance state when the output-enable (OE) input is low. OE does not affect the output flags. Cascading is easily accomplished in the word-width and word-depth directions. When not using the FIFO in depth expansion, cascade enable (CASEN) must be tied high. The FIFO must be reset upon power up. The SN74ACT7808 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Depth-offset values can be programmed for AF/AE or the default value of 256 can be used for both the almost-empty offset (X) and the almost-full offset (Y). AF/AE is high when memory contains X or fewer words or (2048 – Y) or more words. AF/AE is high after reset. CASEN† I Cascade enable. When multiple SN74ACT7808 devices are depth cascaded, every device must have CASEN tied low. CASEN must be tied high when a device is not used in depth expansion. D0–D8 I Nine-bit data input port DP9 I DP9 is used as the most significant bit when programming the AF/AE offset values. EMPTY O Empty flag. EMPTY is low when the FIFO memory is empty. A FIFO reset also causes EMPTY to go low. FL† I First load. When multiple SN74ACT7808 devices are depth cascaded, the first device in the chain must have its FL input tied low and all other devices must have their FL inputs tied high. FULL O Full flag. FULL is low when the FIFO is full. A FIFO reset causes FULL to go high. HF O Half-full flag. HF is high when the FIFO memory contains 1024 or more words. HF is low after reset. LDCK I Load clock. Data is written to the FIFO on the rising edge of LDCK when FULL is high. OE I Output enable. When OE is low, D0–D8 are in the high-impedance state. PEN I Program enable. After reset and before the first word is written to the FIFO, the binary value on D0–D8 and DP9 is latched as an AF/AE offset value when PEN is low and LDCK is high. Q0–Q8 O Nine-bit data output port RESET I Reset. A low level on RESET resets the FIFO and drives FULL and AF/AE high and HF and EMPTY low. UNCK I Unload clock. Data is read from the FIFO on the rising edge of UNCK when EMPTY is high. XI† I XO† O Expansion input (XI) and expansion output (XO). When multiple SN74ACT7808 devices are depth cascaded, the XO of one device must be connected to the XI of the next device in the chain chain. The XO of the last device in the chain is connected to the XI of the first device in the chain. † See Figures 6 and 7 for application information on FIFO word-width and word-depth expansions, respectively. POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 5 SN74ACT7808 2048 × 9 STROBED FIRST-IN, FIRST-OUT MEMORY SCAS205D – FEBRUARY 1991 – REVISED APRIL 1998 offset values for AF/AE The AF/AE flag has two programmable limits: the almost-empty offset value (X) and the almost-full offset value (Y). They can be programmed after the FIFO is reset and before the first word is written to memory. If the offsets are not programmed, the default values of X = Y = 256 are used. The AF/AE flag is high when the FIFO contains X or fewer words or (2048 – Y) or more words. To program the offset values, program enable (PEN) can be brought low after reset only when LDCK is low. On the following low-to-high transition of LDCK, the binary value on D0–D8 and DP9 is stored as the almost-empty offset value (X) and the almost-full offset value (Y). Holding PEN low for another low-to-high transition of LDCK reprograms Y to the binary value on D0–D8 and DP9 at the time of the second LDCK low-to-high transition. Writes to the FIFO memory are disabled while the offsets are programmed. A maximum value of 1023 can be programmed for either X or Y (see Figure 1). To use the default values of X = Y = 256, PEN must be held high.
