DESCRIPTION:
The IDT7203/7204/7205/7206 are dual-port memory buffers with internal pointers that load and empty data on a firstin/first-out basis. The device uses Full and Empty flags to
prevent data overflow and underflow and expansion logic to
allow for unlimited expansion capability in both word size and
depth.
Data is toggled in and out of the device through the use of
the Write (W) and Read (R) pins.
The devices 9-bit width provides a bit for a control or parity
at the user’s option. It also features a Retransmit (RT) capability that allows the read pointer to be reset to its initial position
when RT is pulsed LOW. A Half-Full Flag is available in the
single device and width expansion modes.
The IDT7203/7204/7205/7206 are fabricated using IDT’s
high-speed CMOS technology. They are designed for applications requiring asynchronous and simultaneous read/writes
in multiprocessing, rate buffering, and other applications.
Military grade product is manufactured in compliance with
the latest revision of MIL-STD-883, Class B.

Controls:

edge of this input if the Full Flag (FF) is not set. Data set-up and
hold times must be adhered-to, with respect to the rising edge
of the Write Enable (W). Data is stored in the RAM array
sequentially and independently of any on-going read operation.
After half of the memory is filled, and at the falling edge of the
next write operation, the Half-Full Flag (HF) will be set to LOW,
and will remain set until the difference between the write pointer
and read pointer is less-than or equal to one-half of the total
memory of the device. The Half-Full Flag (HF) is reset by the
rising edge of the read operation.
To prevent data overflow, the Full Flag (FF) will go LOW on
the falling edge of the last write signal, which inhibits further write
operations. Upon the completion of a valid read operation, the
Full Flag (FF) will go HIGH after t
to begin. When the FIFO is full, the internal write pointer is
blocked from W, so external changes in W will not affect the FIFO
when it is full.

edge of the Read Enable (R), provided the Empty Flag (EF) is not
set. The data is accessed on a First-In/First-Out basis, independent of any ongoing write operations. After Read Enable (R)
goes HIGH, the Data Outputs (Q
0 through Q8) will return to a
high-impedance condition until the next Read operation. When
all the data has been read from the FIFO, the Empty Flag (EF)
will go LOW, allowing the “final” read cycle but inhibiting further
read operations, with the data outputs remaining in a highimpedance state. Once a valid write operation has been accomplished, the Empty Flag (EF) will go HIGH after t
WEF and a valid
Read can then begin. When the FIFO is empty, the internal read
pointer is blocked from R so external changes will not affect the
FIFO when it is empty.
FIRST LOAD/RETRANSMIT (
FLFL/
RTRT) — This is a dual-
purpose input. In the Depth Expansion Mode, this pin is
grounded to indicate that it is the first device loaded (see
Operating Modes). The Single Device Mode is initiated by
grounding the Expansion In (XI).
The IDT7203/7204/7205/7206 can be made to retransmit
data when the Retransmit Enable Control (RT) input is pulsed
LOW. A retransmit operation will set the internal read pointer to
the first location and will not affect the write pointer. The status
of the Flags will change depending on the relative locations of
the read and write pointers. Read Enable (R) and Write Enable
(W) must be in the HIGH state during retransmit. This feature is
useful when less than 2048/4096/8192/16384 writes are performed between resets. The retransmit feature is not compatible with the Depth Expansion Mode.
EXPANSION IN (
XIXI) — This input is a dual-purpose pin.
Expansion In (XI) is grounded to indicate an operation in the
single device mode. Expansion In (XI) is connected to Expansion Out (XO) of the previous device in the Depth Expansion or
Daisy-Chain Mode.

and will remain set until the difference between the write pointer
and read pointer is less than or equal to one half of the total
memory of the device. The Half-Full Flag (HF) is then reset by
the rising edge of the read operation.
In the Depth Expansion Mode, Expansion In (XI) is connected to Expansion Out (XO) of the previous device. This
output acts as a signal to the next device in the Daisy Chain by
providing a pulse to the next device when the previous device
reaches the last location of memory. There will be an XO pulse
when the Write pointer reaches the last location of memory, and
an additional XO pulse when the Read pointer reaches the last
location of memory.
DATA OUTPUTS (Q0-Q8) — Q0-Q8 are data outputs for 9-

whenever Read (R) is in a HIGH state.

OPERATING MODES:
Care must be taken to assure that the appropriate flag is
monitored by each system (i.e. FF is monitored on the device
where W is used; EF is monitored on the device where R is
used). For additional information, refer to Tech Note 8:
ating FIFOs on Full and Empty Boundary Conditions
Tech Note 6:
Designing with FIFOs.
Single Device Mode
A single IDT7203/7204/7205/7206 may be used when the
application requirements are for 2048/4096/8192/16384 words
or less. The IDT7203/7204/7205/7206 is in a Single Device
Configuration when the Expansion In (XI) control input is
grounded (see Figure 12).
Depth Expansion
The IDT7203/7204/7205/7206 can easily be adapted to
applications when the requirements are for greater than 2048/
4096/8192/16384 words. Figure 14 demonstrates Depth Expansion using three IDT7203/7204/7205/7206s. Any depth
can be attained by adding additional IDT7203/7204/7205/
7206s. The IDT7203/7204/7205/7206 operates in the Depth
Expansion mode when the following conditions are met:
1. The first device must be designated by grounding the First
Load (FL) control input.
2. All other devices must have FL in the HIGH state.
3. The Expansion Out (XO) pin of each device must be tied to
the Expansion In (XI) pin of the next device. See Figure 14.
4. External logic is needed to generate a composite Full Flag
(FF) and Empty Flag (EF). This requires the ORing of all
EF
s and ORing of all FFs (i.e. all must be set to generate the
correct composite FF or EF). See Figure 14.
5. The Retransmit (RT) function and Half-Full Flag (HF) are
not available in the Depth Expansion Mode.

USAGE MODES:
Width Expansion
Word width may be increased simply by connecting the
corresponding input control signals of multiple devices. Status flags (EF, FF and HF) can be detected from any one device.
Figure 13 demonstrates an 18-bit word width by using two
IDT7203/7204/7205/7206s. Any word width can be attained
by adding additional IDT7203/7204/7205/7206s (Figure 13).
Bidirectional Operation
Applications which require data buffering between two
systems (each system capable of Read and Write operations)
can be achieved by pairing IDT7203/7204/7205/7206s as
shown in Figure 16. Both Depth Expansion and Width Expansion may be used in this mode.
Data Flow-Through
Two types of flow-through modes are permitted, a read
flow-through and write flow-through mode. For the read flowthrough mode (Figure 17), the FIFO permits a reading of a
single word after writing one word of data into an empty FIFO.
The data is enabled on the bus in (t
edge of W, called the first write edge, and it remains on the bus
until the R line is raised from LOW-to-HIGH, after which the
bus would go into a three-state mode after tRHZ ns. The EF line
would have a pulse showing temporary deassertion and then
would be asserted.
In the write flow-through mode (Figure 18), the FIFO
permits the writing of a single word of data immediately after
reading one word of data from a full FIFO. The R line causes
the FF to be deasserted but the W line being LOW causes it to
be asserted again in anticipation of a new data word. On the
rising edge of W, the new word is loaded in the FIFO. The
line must be toggled when FF is not asserted to write new data
in the FIFO and to increment the write pointer.
Compound Expansion
The two expansion techniques described above can be
applied together in a straightforward manner to achieve large
FIFO arrays (see Figure 15).
