description
The SN74ALVC3631, SN74ALVC3641, and SN74ALVC3651 are high-speed, low-power, CMOS, synchronous
FIFO memories that support clock frequencies up to 100 MHz and have read access times as fast as 6.5 ns.
The 512 × 36, 1024 × 36, and 2048 × 36 dual-port SRAM FIFOs buffer data from port A to port B. The FIFO
memories have retransmit capability, which allows previously read data to be accessed again. The FIFOs have
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 takes place with two
36-bit mailbox registers. Each mailbox register has a flag that signals when new mail has been stored. Two or
more devices are used in parallel to create wider data paths. Expansion also is possible in word depth.
The SN74ALVC3631/41/51 are synchronous FIFOs, which means each port employs a synchronous interface.
All data transfers through a port are gated to the low-to-high transition of a continuous (free-running) port clock
by enable signals. The continuous 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 interface between
microprocessors and/or buses with synchronous control.
The input-ready (IR) flag and almost-full (AF) flag of the FIFOs are two-stage, synchronized to CLKA. The
output-ready (OR) flag and almost-empty (AE) flag of the FIFOs are two-stage, synchronized to CLKB. Offset
values for AF and AE are programmed from port A or through a serial input.
The SN74ALVC3631/41/51 are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Terminal Functions
TERMINAL
NAME
I/O
A0–A35
I/O
Port-A data. The 36-bit bidirectional data port for side A.
AE
O
Almost-empty flag. Programmable flag synchronized to CLKB. AE is low when the number of words in the FIFO is less
than or equal to the value in the almost-empty offset register (X).
AF
O
Almost-full flag. Programmable flag synchronized to CLKA. AF is low when the number of empty locations in the FIFO
is less than or equal to the value in the almost-full offset register (Y).
B0–B35
I/O
Port-B data. The 36-bit bidirectional data port for side B.
DESCRIPTION
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. IR and AF are synchronous 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. OR and AE are synchronous 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.
ENA
I
Port-A master 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 master enable. ENB must be high to enable a low-to-high transition of CLKB to read or write data on port B.
Flag-offset select 1/serial enable, flag-offset select 0/serial data. FS1/SEN and FS0/SD are dual-purpose inputs used
for flag-offset-register programming. During a device reset, FS1/SEN and FS0/SD select the flag-offset programming
method. Three offset-register programming methods are available: automatically load one of two preset values,
parallel load from port A, and serial load.
FS1/SEN,
FS0/SD
I
IR
O
Input-ready flag. IR is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CLKA. When IR is low, the FIFO is full and writes
to its array are disabled. When the FIFO is in retransmit mode, IR indicates when the memory has been filled to the
point of the retransmit data and prevents further writes. IR is set low during reset and is set high after reset.
MBA
I
Port-A mailbox select. A high level on MBA chooses a mailbox register for a port-A read or write operation.
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
FIFO 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. 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 by
a reset.
MBF2
O
Mail2 register flag. MBF2 is set low by the low-to-high transition of CLKB that writes data to the mail2 register. 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 by
a reset.
OR
O
Output-ready flag. OR is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CLKB. When OR is low, the FIFO is empty and
reads are disabled. Ready data is present in the output register of the FIFO when OR is high. OR is forced low during
the reset and goes high on the third low-to-high transition of CLKB after a word is loaded to empty memory.
RFM
I
Read from mark. When the FIFO is in retransmit mode, a high on RFM enables a low-to-high transition of CLKB to
reset the read pointer to the beginning retransmit location and output the first selected retransmit data.
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. The low-to-high transition of RST latches the status of FS0 and FS1 for AF and AE offset selection.
RTM
I
Retransmit mode. When RTM is high and valid data is present in the FIFO output register (OR is high), a low-to-high
transition of CLKB selects the data for the beginning of a retransmit and puts the FIFO in retransmit mode. The selected
word remains the initial retransmit point until a low-to-high transition of CLKB occurs while RTM is low, taking the FIFO
out of retransmit mode.
When serial load is selected for flag-offset-register programming, FS1/SEN is used as an enable synchronous to the
low-to-high transition of CLKA. When FS1/SEN is low, a rising edge on CLKA loads the bit present on FS0/SD into
the X-and Y-offset registers. The number of bit writes required to program the offset registers is 22. The first bit write
stores the Y-register MSB and the last bit write stores the X-register LSB.

W/RA
I
Port-A write/read select. A high on W/RA selects a write operation and a low selects a read operation on port A for

W/RB
I
Port-B write/read select. A low on W/RB selects a write operation and a high 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 low.
detailed description
reset
The SN74ALVC3631/41/51 are 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 reset initializes the memory-read and-write pointers and forces the IR flag low, the OR flag high, the AE flag
low, and the AF flag high. Resetting the device also forces the mailbox flags (MBF1, MBF2) high. After a FIFO
is reset, IR is set high after at least two clock cycles to begin normal operation. A FIFO must be reset after power
up before data is written to its memory.
almost-empty flag and almost-full flag offset programming
Two registers in the SN74ALVC3631/41/51 are used to hold the offset values for the AE and AF flags. The AE
flag offset register is labeled X, and the AF flag offset register is labeled Y. The offset registers can be loaded
with a value in three ways: one of two preset values is loaded into the offset registers, parallel load from port
A, or serial load. The offset-register-programming mode is chosen by the flag select (FS1, FS0) inputs during
a low-to-high transition on RST (see Table 1).

preset values
If a preset value of 8 or 64 is chosen by FS1 and FS0 at the time of an RST low-to-high transition according to
Table 1, the preset value is automatically loaded into the X and Y registers. No other device initialization is
necessary to begin normal operation, and the IR flag is set high after two low-to-high transitions on CLKA.
parallel load from port A
To program the X and Y registers from port A, the device is reset with FS0 and FS1 low during the low-to-high
transition of RST. After this reset is complete, the IR flag is set high after two low-to-high transitions on CLKA.
The first two writes to the FIFO do not store data in its memory but load the offset registers in the order Y, X.
Each offset register of the SN74ALVC3631/41/51 uses port-A inputs (A10–A0). The highest number input is
used as the most-significant bit of the binary number in each case. Each register value can be programmed from
1 to 508 (SN74ALVC3631), 1 to 1020 (SN74ALVC3641), and 1 to 2044 (SN74ALVC3651). After both offset
registers are programmed from port A, subsequent FIFO writes store data in the SRAM.

serial load
To program the X and Y registers serially, the device is reset with FS0/SD and FS1/SEN high during the
low-to-high transition of RST. After this reset is complete, the X-and Y-register values are loaded bitwise through
FS0/SD on each low-to-high transition of CLKA that FS1/SEN is low. Eighteen (SN74ALVC3631), twenty
(SN74ALVC3641), and twenty-two (SN74ALVC3651) bit writes are needed to complete the programming. The
first bit write stores the most-significant bit of the Y register and the last bit write stores the least-significant bit
of the X register. Each register value can be programmed from 1 to 508 (SN74ALVC3631), 1 to 1020
(SN74ALVC3641), and 1 to 2044 (SN74ALVC3651).
When the option is chosen to program the offset registers serially, the IR flag remains low until all register bits
are written. The IR flag is set high by the low-to-high transition of CLKA after the last bit is loaded, to allow normal
FIFO operation.
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-to-high transition of CLKA when CSA and the
port-A mailbox select (MBA) are low, W/RA, the port-A enable (ENA), and the IR flag are high (see Table 2).
Writes to the FIFO are independent of any concurrent FIFO reads.

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 W/RA. The state of the port-B data (B0–B35) outputs is controlled by the port-B
chip select (CSB) and W/RB. The B0–B35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when either CSB is high or
W/RB is low. The B0–B35 outputs are active when CSB is low and W/RB is high.
Data is read from the FIFO to its output register on a low-to-high transition of CLKB when CSB and MBB are
low, W/RB, ENB, and the OR flag are high (see Table 3). Reads from the FIFO are independent of any concurrent
FIFO writes.

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-chip select and write/read select can change states during the
setup- and hold-time window of the cycle.
When OR is low, the next data word is sent to the FIFO output register automatically by the CLKB low-to-high
transition that sets OR high. When OR is high, an available data word is clocked to the FIFO output register only
when a FIFO read is selected by CSB, W/RB, ENB, and MBB.
synchronized FIFO flags
Each FIFO flag is synchronized to its port clock through at least two flip-flop stages. This is done to improve the
flag’s reliability by reducing the probability of metastable events on their outputs when CLKA and CLKB operate
asynchronously with one another. OR and AE are synchronized to CLKB. IR and AF are synchronized to CLKA.
Table 4 shows the relationship of each flag to the number of words stored in memory.

output-ready flag
The OR flag of a FIFO is synchronized to CLKB. When OR is high, new data is present in the FIFO output
register. When OR is low, the previous data word is present in the FIFO output register and attempted FIFO
reads are ignored.
A FIFO read pointer is incremented each time a new word is clocked to its output register. When a word is written
to a FIFO, it can be shifted to the FIFO output register in a minimum of three cycles of CLKB; therefore, an OR
flag is low if a word in memory is the next data to be sent to the FIFO output register and three CLKB cycles
have not elapsed since the word was written. The output-ready flag of the FIFO remains low until the third
low-to-high transition of CLKB occurs, simultaneously forcing the OR flag high and shifting the word to the FIFO
output register.
A low-to-high transition on CLKB begins the first synchronization cycle of a write if the clock transition occurs
at time tsk(1), or greater, after the write. Otherwise, the subsequent CLKB cycle can be the first synchronization
cycle (see Figure 6).
input-ready flag
The IR flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the CLKA. When the IR flag is high, a memory location is free in the
SRAM to write new data. No memory locations are free when the IR flag is low and attempted writes to the FIFO
are ignored.
Each time a word is written to a FIFO, its write pointer is incremented. When a word is read from a FIFO, its
previous memory location can be written in a minimum of three cycles of CLKA; therefore, an IR flag is low if
less than two cycles of CLKA have elapsed since the next memory write location has been read. The second
low-to-high transition on CLKA after the read sets the IR flag high, and data can be written in the following cycle.
A low-to-high transition on CLKA begins the first synchronization cycle of a read if the clock transition occurs
at time tsk(1), or greater, after the read. Otherwise, the subsequent CLKA cycle can be the first synchronization
cycle (see Figure 7).
almost-empty flag
The AE flag of a FIFO is synchronized to CLKB. The almost-empty state is defined by the contents of register
X. This register is loaded with a preset value during a FIFO reset, programmed from port A, or programmed
serially (see almost-empty flag and almost-full flag offset programming). The AE flag is low when the FIFO
contains X or fewer words and is high when the FIFO contains (X + 1) or more words. A data word present in
the FIFO output register has been read from memory.
Two low-to-high transitions of CLKB are required after a FIFO write for the AE flag to reflect the new level of
fill; therefore, the AE flag of a FIFO containing (X + 1) or more words remains low if two cycles of CLKB have
not elapsed since the write that filled the memory to the (X + 1) level. An AE flag is set high by the second
low-to-high transition of CLKB after the FIFO write that fills memory to the (X + 1) level. A low-to-high transition
of CLKB begins the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time tsk(2), 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 8).

almost-full flag
The AF flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes data to its array (CLKA). The almost-full state
is defined by the contents of register Y. This register is loaded with a preset value during a FIFO reset,
programmed from port A, or programmed serially (see almost-empty flag and almost-full flag offset
programming). The AF flag is low when the number of words in the FIFO is greater than or equal to D – Y, where
D = FIFO depth (512 for SN74ALVC3631, 1024 for SN74ALVC3641, and 2048 for SN74ALVC3651). The AF
flag is high when the number of words in the FIFO is less than or equal to [D – (Y + 1)]. A data word present
in the FIFO output register has been read from memory.
Two low-to-high transitions of CLKA are required after a FIFO read for its AF flag to reflect the new level of fill.
Therefore, the AF flag of a FIFO containing [D – (Y + 1)] or less words remains low if two cycles of CLKA have
not elapsed since the read that reduced the number of words in memory to [D – (Y + 1)]. An AF flag is set high
by the second low-to-high transition of CLKA after the FIFO read that reduces the number of words in memory
to [D – (Y + 1)]. A low-to-high transition of CLKA begins the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time tsk(2),
or greater, after the read that reduces the number of words in memory to [D – (Y + 1)]. Otherwise, the
subsequent CLKA cycle can be the first synchronization cycle (see Figure 9).
synchronous retransmit
The synchronous-retransmit feature of the SN74ALVC3631/41/51 allows FIFO data to be read repeatedly,
starting at a user-selected position. The FIFO is first put into retransmit mode (RTM) to select a beginning word
and prevent ongoing FIFO write operations from destroying retransmit data. Data vectors with a minimum length
of three words can retransmit repeatedly, starting at the selected word. The FIFO can be taken out of RTM at
any time without affecting normal device operation.
The FIFO is put in retransmit mode by a low-to-high transition on CLKB when the RTM input is high and OR
is high. This rising CLKB edge marks the data present in the FIFO output register as the first retransmit data.
The FIFO goes out of retransmit mode when RTM goes low (see Figure 10).
When two or more reads have been done past the initial retransmit word, a retransmit is initiated by a low-to-high
transition on CLKB when the read-from-mark (RFM) input is high. This rising CLKB edge shifts the first
retransmit word to the FIFO output register and subsequent reads can begin immediately. Retransmit loops can
be done endlessly while the FIFO is in RTM. RFM must be low during the CLKB rising edge that takes the FIFO
out of retransmit mode.
When the FIFO is put into RTM, it operates with two read pointers. The current read pointer operates normally,
incrementing each time a new word is shifted to the FIFO output register and used by the OR and AE flags. The
shadow read pointer stores the SRAM location at the time the device is put into RTM and does not change until
the device is taken out of RTM. The shadow read pointer is used by the IR and AF flags. Data writes can proceed
while the FIFO is in RTM, but AF is set low by the write that stores (D – Y) words after the first retransmit word.
The IR flag is set low by the Dth write after the first retransmit word.
When the FIFO is in RTM and RFM is high, a rising CLKB edge loads the current read pointer with the shadow
read-pointer value and the OR flag reflects the new level of fill immediately. If the retransmit changes the FIFO
status out of the almost-empty range, up to two CLKB rising edges after the retransmit cycle are needed to
switch AE high (see Figure 11). The rising CLKB edge that takes the FIFO out of retransmit mode shifts the read
pointer used by the IR and AF flags from the shadow to the current read pointer. If the change of read pointer
used by IR and AF should cause one or both flags to transition high, at least two CLKA synchronizing cycles
are needed before the flags reflect the change. A rising CLKA edge after the FIFO is taken out of retransmit
mode is the first synchronizing cycle of IR if it occurs at time tsk(1), or greater, after the rising CLKB edge (see
Figure 12). A rising CLKA edge after the FIFO is taken out of RTM is the first synchronizing cycle of AF if it occurs
at time tsk(2), or greater, after the rising CLKB edge (see Figure 14).

mailbox registers
Two 36-bit bypass registers 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 a 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 a 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 MBB input is low and from the mail1 register when MBB is high. Mail2 data always is 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.
