256K x 9 SuperSync FIFO, 3.3V

The IDT72V2101 are exceptionally deep, high speed, CMOS First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memories with clocked read and write controls. These FIFOs offer numerous improvements over previous SuperSync FIFOs, including the following:. The limitation of the frequency of one clock input with respect to the other has been removed. The Frequency Select pin (FS) has been removed, thus it is no longer necessary to select which of the two clock inputs, RCLK or WCLK, is running at the higher frequency. The period required by the retransmit operation is now fixed and short. The first word data latency period, from the time the first word is written to an empty FIFO to the time it can be read, is now fixed and short. (The variable clock cycle counting delay associated with the latency period found on previous SuperSync devices has been eliminated on this SuperSync family.). SuperSync FIFOs are particularly appropriate for network, video, telecommunications, data communications and other applications that need to buffer large amounts of data. The input port is controlled by a Write Clock (WCLK) input and a Write Enable (WEN) input. Data is written into the FIFO on every rising edge of WCLK when WEN is asserted. The output port is controlled by a Read Clock (RCLK) input and Read Enable (REN) input. Data is read from the FIFO on every rising edge of RCLK when REN is asserted. An Output Enable (OE) input is provided for three-state control of the outputs. The frequencies of both the RCLK and the WCLK signals may vary from 0 to fMAX with complete independence. There are no restrictions on the frequency of the one clock input with respect to the other. There are two possible timing modes of operation with these devices: IDT Standard mode and First Word Fall Through (FWFT) mode. In FWFT mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO is clocked directly to the data output lines after three transitions of the RCLK signal. A REN does not have to be asserted for accessing the first word. However, subsequent words written to the FIFO do require a LOW on REN for access. The state of the FWFT/SI input during Master Reset determines the timing mode in use.
