description
The SN74ALS236 is a 256-bit memory utilizing
advanced low-power Schottky IMPACT
technology. It features high speed with fast
fall-through times and is organized as 64 words by
4 bits.
A first-in, first-out (FIFO) memory is a storage
device that allows data to be written into and read
from its array at independent data rates. The
SN74ALS236 is designed to process data at rates
up to 30 MHz in a bit-parallel format, word by
word.

Data is written into memory on the rising edge of
the shift-in (SI) input. When SI goes low, the first
data word ripples through to the output (see
Figure 1). As the FIFO fills up, the data words
NC – No internal connection
stack up in the order they were written. When the
FIFO is full, additional shift-in pulses have no
effect. Data is shifted out of memory on the falling
edge of the shift-out (SO) input (see Figure 2). When the FIFO is empty, additional SO pulses have no effect.
The last data word remains at the outputs until a new word falls through or reset (RST) goes low.
Status of the SN74ALS236 FIFO memory is monitored by the output-ready (OR) and input-ready (IR) flags.
When OR is high, valid data is available at the outputs. OR is low when SO is high and stays low when the FIFO
is empty. IR is high when the inputs are ready to receive more data. IR is low when SI is high and stays low when
the FIFO is full.
When the FIFO is empty, input data is shifted to the output automatically when SI goes low. If SO is held high
during this time, the OR flag pulses high, indicating valid data at the outputs (see Figure 3).
When the FIFO is full, data is shifted in automatically by holding SI high and taking SO low. One propagation
delay after SO goes low, IR goes high. If SI is still high when IR goes high, data at the inputs is automatically
shifted in. Since IR is normally low when the FIFO is full and SI is high, only a high-level pulse is seen on the
IR output (see Figure 4).

description (continued)
The FIFO must be reset after power up with a low-level pulse on the master reset (RST) input. This sets IR high
and OR low, signifying that the FIFO is empty. Resetting the FIFO sets the outputs to a low logic level (see
Figure 1). If SI is high when RST goes high, the input data is shifted in and IR goes low and remains low until
SI goes low. If SI goes low before RST goes high, the input data is not shifted in and IR goes high. Data outputs
are noninverting with respect to the data inputs.
The SN74ALS236 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

† The last data word shifted out of the FIFO remains at the output until a new word falls through or an RST pulse clears the FIFO.
‡ While the output data is considered valid only when the OR flag is high, the stored data remains at the outputs. Any additional words written
into the FIFO stack up behind the first word and do not appear at the output until SO is taken low.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. All voltage values are with respect to GND.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51, except for through-hole packages, which use a trace
length of zero.
