IDT72265
DESCRIPTION:
The IDT72255/72265 are monolithic, CMOS, high capacity, high speed, low power First-In, First-Out (FIFO) memories
with clocked read and write controls. These FIFOs are applicable for a wide variety of data buffering needs, such as optical
disk controllers, local area networks (LANs), and inter-processor communication.
Both FIFOs have an 18-bit input port (Dn) and an 18-bit
output port (Qn). The input port is controlled by a free-running
clock (WCLK) and a data input enable pin (
written into the synchronous FIFO on every clock when
is asserted. The output port is controlled by another clock pin
(RCLK) and enable pin (
REN
). The read clock can be tied to
the write clock for single clock operation or the two clocks can
run asynchronously for dual clock operation. An output enable
pin (OE) is provided on the read port for three-state control of
the outputs.
The IDT72255/72265 have two modes of operation: In the
IDT Standard Mode
, the first word written to the FIFO is
deposited into the memory array. A read operation is required
to access that word. In the
First Word Fall Through Mode
(FWFT), the first word written to an empty FIFO appears

state of the FWFT/SI pin during Master Reset determines the
mode in use.
The IDT72255/72265 FIFOs have five flag functions, EF/
OR
(Empty Flag or Output Ready), FF/IR (Full Flag or Input
Ready), and HF (Half-full Flag). The EF and FF functions are
selected in the IDT Standard Mode.
The IR and OR functions are selected in the First Word Fall
Through Mode. IR indicates that the FIFO has free space to
receive data. OR indicates that data contained in the FIFO is
available for reading.

memory. This flag can always be used irrespective of mode.
PAE, PAF

Programmable offsets determine the flag threshold and can

Standard Mode or FWFT Mode. The LD pin selects one of two
partial flag default settings (127 or 1023) and, also, serial or
parallel programming. The flags are updated accordingly.
The Partial Reset (

pointers to the first location of the memory. However, the

gramming offset registers may not be convenient.
The Retransmit function allows the read pointer to be reset
to the first location in the RAM array. It is synchronized to
RCLK when RT is LOW. This feature is convenient for
sending the same data more than once.
If, at any time, the FIFO is not actively performing a function,
the chip will automatically power down. This occurs if neither
a read nor a write occurs within 10 cycles of the faster clock,
RCLK or WCLK. During the Power Down state, supply current
consumption (ICC2) is at a minimum. Initiating any operation

A Partial Reset is useful for resetting the device during the

RETRANSMIT (
RTRT)
The Retransmit operation allows data that has already
been read to be accessed again. There are two stages: first,
a setup procedure that resets the read pointer to the first
location of memory, then the actual retransmit, which consists
of reading out the memory contents, starting at the beginning
of memory.
Retransmit Setup is initiated by holding RT LOW during a
rising RCLK edge.
REN
and
WEN
must be HIGH before
bringing RT LOW. At least one word, but no more than Full 2 words should have been written into the FIFO between
Reset (Master or Partial) and the time of Retransmit Setup
(Full = 8,192 words for the 72255, 16,384 words for the
72265).
If IDT Standard mode is selected, the FIFO will mark the
beginning of the Retransmit Setup by setting EF LOW. The
change in level will only be noticeable if EF was HIGH before
setup. During this period, the internal read pointer is initialized
to the first location of the RAM array.
When
EF
goes HIGH, Retransmit Setup is complete and
read operations may begin starting with the first location in
memory. Since IDT Standard Mode is selected, every word
read including the first word following Retransmit Setup requires a LOW on
REN
to enable the rising edge of RCLK.
Writing operations can begin after one of two conditions have
been met: EF is HIGH or 14 cycles of the faster clock (RCLK
or WCLK) have elapsed since the RCLK rising edge enabled
by the RT pulse.
The deassertion time of EF during Retransmit Setup is
variable. The parameter t
RTF1, which is measured from the
rising RCLK edge enabled by RT to the rising edge of EF is
described by the following equation:
tRTF1 max. = 14*Tf + 3*TRCLK (in ns)
where Tf is either the RCLK or the WCLK period, whichever is
shorter, and TRCLK is the RCLK period.
Regarding FF: Note that since no more than Full - 2 writes
are allowed between a Reset and a Retransmit Setup, FF will
remain HIGH throughout the setup procedure.
For IDT Standard mode, updating the
flags begins with the "first"
REN
-enabled rising RCLK edge
following the end of Retransmit Setup (the point at which
PAE, HF
, and
PAF

specification is not met, add one more WCLK cycle.)
If FWFT mode is selected, the FIFO will mark the beginning
of the Retransmit Setup by setting OR HIGH. The change in
level will only be noticeable if OR was LOW before setup.
During this period, the internal read pointer is set to the first
location of the RAM array.

MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGES
When
OR
goes LOW, Retransmit Setup is complete; at the
same time, the contents of the first location are automatically
displayed on the outputs. Since FWFT Mode is selected, the
first word appears on the outputs, no read request necessary.
Reading all subsequent words requires a LOW on
REN
to
enable the rising edge of RCLK. Writing operations can begin
after one of two conditions have been met: OR is LOW or 14
cycles of the faster clock (RCLK or WCLK) have elapsed since
the RCLK rising edge enabled by the RT pulse.
The assertion time of OR during Retransmit Setup is
variable. The parameter tRTF2, which is measured from the
rising RCLK edge enabled by RT to the falling edge of OR is
described by the following equation:
tRTF2 max. = 14*Tf + 4*TRCLK (in ns)
where Tf is either the RCLK or the WCLK period, whichever
is shorter, and TRCLK is the RCLK period. Note that a
Retransmit Setup in FWFT mode requires one more RCLK
cycle than in IDT Standard mode.
Regarding IR: Note that since no more than Full - 2 writes
are allowed between a Reset and a Retransmit Setup, IR will
remain LOW throughout the setup procedure.
For FWFT mode, updating the
PAE, HF
, and
PAF
flags
begins with the "last" rising edge of RCLK before the end of
Retransmit Setup. This is the same edge that asserts OR and
automatically accesses the first memory location. Note that,

RT
is synchronized to RCLK. The Retransmit operation is
useful in the event of a transmission error on a network, since
it allows a data packet to be resent.
FIRST WORD FALL THROUGH/SERIAL IN (FWFT/SI)
This is a dual purpose pin. During Master Reset, the state
of the FWFT/SI helps determine whether the device will
operate in IDT Standard mode or First Word Fall Through
(FWFT) mode.
If, at the time of Master Reset, FWFT/SI is LOW, then IDT
Standard mode will be selected. This mode uses the Empty
Flag (EF) to indicate whether or not there are any words
present in the FIFO memory. It also uses the Full Flag function
(FF) to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free
space for writing. In IDT Standard mode, every word read
from the FIFO, including the first, must be requested using the
Read Enable (
REN
) line.
If, at the time of Master Reset, FWFT/SI is HIGH, then
FWFT mode will be selected. This mode uses Output Ready
(OR) to indicate whether or not there is valid data at the data
outputs (Q
n). It also uses Input Ready (
IR
) to indicate whether
or not the FIFO memory has any free space for writing. In the
FWFT mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO goes
directly to Qn, no read request necessary. Subsequent words
must be accessed using the Read Enable (
REN
) line.
After Master Reset, FWFT/SI acts as a serial input for
loading
PAE
and
PAF
offsets into the programmable registers.
The serial input function can only be used when the serial
loading method has been selected during Master Reset.
FWFT/SI functions the same way in both IDT Standard and
FWFT modes.
WRITE CLOCK (WCLK)
A write cycle is initiated on the rising edge of the write clock
(WCLK). Data set-up and hold times must be met with respect
to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the WCLK. The write and
read clocks can either be asynchronous or coincident.
WRITE ENABLE (
When Write Enable (
WEN
WEN
)
WEN
) is LOW, data can be loaded into
the input register on the rising edge of every WCLK cycle.
Data is stored in the RAM array sequentially and independently of any on-going read operation.
When
WEN
is HIGH, the input register holds the previous
data and no new data is loaded into the FIFO.
To prevent data overflow in the IDT Standard Mode, FF will
go LOW , inhibiting further write operations. Upon the completion of a valid read cycle, FF will go HIGH allowing a write to
occur.
WEN
is ignored when the FIFO is full.
To prevent data overflow in the FWFT mode, IR will go
HIGH, inhibiting further write operations. Upon the completion
of a valid read cycle, IR will go LOW allowing a write to occur.
WEN
is ignored when the FIFO is full.
READ CLOCK (RCLK)
Data can be read on the outputs, on the rising edge of the
read clock (RCLK), when Output Enable (OE) is set LOW. The
write and read clocks can be asynchronous or coincident.
READ ENABLE (
When Read Enable (
REN
REN
)
REN
) is LOW, data is loaded from the
RAM array into the output register on the rising edge of the
RCLK.
When
REN
is HIGH, the output register holds the previous
data and no new data is loaded into the output register.
In the IDT Standard Mode, every word accessed at Q
including the first word written to an empty FIFO, must be
requested using
REN
. When all the data has been read from
the FIFO, the Empty Flag (EF) will go LOW, inhibiting further
read operations.
REN
is ignored when the FIFO is empty.
Once a write is performed, EF will go HIGH after tFWL1 +tREF
and a read is permitted.
In the FWFT Mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO
automatically goes to the outputs Qn, no need for any read
request. In order to access all other words, a read must be
executed using
REN
. When all the data has been read from
the FIFO, Output Ready (OR) will go HIGH, inhibiting further
read operations.
REN
is ignored when the FIFO is empty.
Once a write is performed, OR will go LOW after tFWL2 +tREF,
when the first word appears at Qn ; if a second word is written
into the FIFO, then
REN
can be used to read it out.

SERIAL ENABLE (

SEN
SEN
) is an enable used only for serial
programming of the offset registers. The serial programming
method must be selected during Master Reset.
SEN
is always
used in conjunction with LD. When these lines are both LOW,
data at the SI input can be loaded into the input register one
bit for each LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK.
When
SEN
is HIGH, the programmable registers retains
the previous settings and no offsets are loaded.
SEN
functions the same way in both IDT Standard and
FWFT modes.
OUTPUT ENABLE (
OEOE)
When Output Enable (OE) is enabled (LOW), the parallel
output buffers receive data from the output register. When
OE
is HIGH, the output data bus (Qn) goes into a high impedance
state.
LOAD (
LDLD)
This is a dual purpose pin. During Master Reset, the state
of the Load line (LD) determines one of two default values (127
or 1023) for the
PAE
and
PAF
flags, along with the method by
which these flags can be programmed, parallel or serial. After
Master Reset, LD enables write operations to and read
operations from the registers. Only the offset loading method
currently selected can be used to write to the registers. Aside
from Master Reset, there is no other way change the loading
method. Registers can be read only in parallel; this can be
accomplished regardless of whether serial or the parallel
loading has been selected.
Associated with each of the programmable flags,
PAF
, are registers which can either be written to or read from.
PAE
and
Offset values contained in these registers determine how
many words need to be in the FIFO memory to switch a partial
flag. A LOW on LD during Master Reset selects a default
PAE
offset value of 07FH ( a threshold 127 words from the empty
boundary), a default
PAF
offset value of 07FH (a threshold 127
words from the full boundary), and parallel loading of other
offset values. A HIGH on LD during Master Reset selects a
default

PAE
offset value of 3FFH (a threshold 1023 words from
PAF
offset value of 3FFH (a
threshold 1023 words form the full boundary), and serial

The act of writing offsets (in parallel or serial) employs a
dedicated write offset register pointer. The act of reading
offsets employs a dedicated read offset register pointer. The

two pointers operate independently; however, a read and a
write should not be performed simultaneously to the offset
registers. A Master Reset initializes both pointers to the
Empty Offset (LSB) register. A Partial Reset has no effect on
the position of these pointers.
Once serial offset loading has been selected, then pro-
gramming
SEN
PAE
and
PAF
procedes as follows: When LD and
are set LOW, data on the SI input are written, one bit for
each WCLK rising edge, starting with the Empty Offset (13 bits
for the 72255, 14 bits for the 72265), ending with the Full Offset
(13 bits for the 72255, 14 bits for the 72265). A total of 26 bits
are necessary to program the 72255; a total of 28 bits are
necessary to program the 72265. Individual registers cannot
be loaded serially; rather, both must be programmed in
sequence, no padding allowed.
PAE
and
PAF
can show a
valid status only after the the full set of bits have been entered.
The registers can be re-programmed, as long as both offsets
are loaded. When LD is LOW and
SEN
is HIGH, no serial write
to the registers can occur.
Once parallel offset loading has been selected, then
programming
and
WEN
PAE
and
PAF
procedes as follows: When
are set LOW, data on the inputs D
LD
n are written into
the Empty Offset Register on the first LOW-to-HIGH transition
of WCLK. Upon the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of
WCLK, data at the inputs are written into the Full Register. The
third transition of WCLK writes, once again, to the Empty
Offset Register.
To ensure proper programming (serial or parallel) of the
offset registers, no read operation is permitted from the time
of reset (master or partial) to the time of programming. (During
this period, the read pointer must be pointing to the first
location of the memory array.) After the programming has
been accomplished, read operations may begin.
Write operations to memory are allowed before and during
the parallel programming sequence. In this case, the programming of all offset registers does not have to occur at one
time. One or two offset registers can be written to and then,
by bringing LD HIGH, write operations can be redirected to the
FIFO memory. When LD is set LOW again, and
WEN
is LOW,
the next offset register in sequence is written to. As an
alternative to holding
WEN
LOW and toggling LD, parallel
programming can also be interrupted by setting LD LOW and
toggling
WEN
.
Write operations to memory are allowed before and during
the serial programming sequence. In this case, the programming of all offset bits does not have to occur at once. A select
number of bits can be written to the SI input and then, by
bringing LD and
memory via D
with LD and
SEN
HIGH, data can be written to FIFO
n by toggling
SEN
restored to a LOW, the next offset bit in
WEN
. When
WEN
is brought HIGH
sequence is written to the registers via SI. If a mere interuption
of serial programming is desired, it is sufficient either to set
LOW and deactivate
LD
. Once LD and
SEN
or to set
SEN
are both restored to a LOW level, serial
SEN

LD
offset programming continues from where it left off.
Note that the status of a partial flag (
PAE
or
PAF
) output is
invalid during the programming process. From the time
parallel programming has begun, a partial flag output will not
be valid until the appropriate offset word has been written to
the register pertaining to that flag. From the time serial
programming has begun, neither partial flag will be valid until
the full set of bits required to fill all the offset registers has been
written. Measuring from the rising WCLK edge that achieves
either of the above criteria;
rising WCLK edges plus t
PAF
will be valid after two more
PAF,
PAE
will will be valid after the
next two rising RCLK edges plus tPAE (Add one more RCLK
cycle if tSKEW2 is not met.)
The act of reading the offset registers employs a dedicated
read offset register pointer. The contents of the offset registers
can be read on the output lines when LD is set LOW and
REN
is set LOW; then, data are read via Qn from the Empty Offset
Register on the first LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK. Upon
the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK, data are read
from the Full Offset Register. The third transition of RCLK,
reads, once again, from the Empty Offset Register.
It is permissable to interrupt the the offset register access
sequence with reads or writes to memory . The interruption is
accomplished by deasserting
When

registers continues where it left off.
LD
functions the same way in both IDT Standard and
FWFT modes.
FREQUENCY SELECT INPUT (FS)
An internal state machine manages the movement of data
through the SuperSync FIFO. The FS line determines whether
RCLK or WCLK will synchronize the state machine. Tie FS to
V
CC if the RCLK line is running at a lower frequency than the
WCLK line. In this case, the state machine will be synchronized to WCLK. Tie FS to GND if the RCLK line is running at
a higher frequency than the WCLK line. In this case, the state
machine will be synchronized to RCLK. Note that FS must be
set so the clock line running at the higher frequency drives the
state machine; this ensures efficient handling of the data
within the FIFO. If the same clock signal drives both the WCLK
and the RCLK pins, then tie FS to GND.
The frequency of the clock tied to the state machine
(referred to as the "selected clock") may be changed at any
time, so long as it is always greater than or equal to the
frequency of the clock that is not tied to the state machine
(referred to as the "non-selected clock"). The frequency of the
non-selected clock can also be varied with time, so long as it
never exceeds the frequency of the selected clock. To be
more specific, the frequencies of both RCLK and WCLK may
be varied during FIFO operation, provided that, at any given
point in time, the cycle period of the selected clock is equal to
or less than the cycle period of the non-selected clock.
The selected clock must be continuous. It is, however,
permissible to stop the non-selected clock. Note, so long as
RCLK is idle, EF/OR and
as long as WCLK is idle, FF/IR and
PAE
will not be updated. Likewise,
PAF
will not be updated.
Changing the FS setting during FIFO operation (i.e. reading or writing) is not permitted; however, such a change at the
time of Master Reset or Partial Reset is all right. FS is an
asynchronous input.

IDT72255/72265 SyncFIFO
8,192 x 18, 16,384 x 18
OUTPUTS:
FULL FLAG (
FFFF/
IRIR)
This is a dual purpose pin. In IDT Standard Mode, the Full
Flag (FF) function is selected. When the FIFO is full (i.e. the
write pointer catches up to the read pointer), FF will go LOW,
inhibiting further write operation. When FF is HIGH, the FIFO
is not full. If no reads are performed after a reset (either MRS
or PRS), FF will go LOW after 8,192 writes tor the IDT72255
and 16,384 writes to the IDT72265.
In FWFT Mode, the Input Ready (IR) function is selected.
IR goes LOW when memory space is available for writing in
data. When there is no longer any free space left, IR goes
HIGH, inhibiting further write operation. If no reads are
performed after a reset (either MRS or PRS), IR will go HIGH
after 8,193 writes for the IDT72255 and 16,385 writes for the
IDT72265.
The IR status not only measures the contents of the FIFO
memory, but also counts the presence of a word in the output
register. Thus, in FWFT mode, the total number of writes
necessary to deassert IR is one greater than needed to assert
FF in IDT Standard mode.
FF/IR is synchronized to WCLK. It is double-registered to
enhance metastable immunity.
EMPTY FLAG (
EFEF/
OROR)
This is a dual purpose pin. In the IDT Standard Mode, the
Empty Flag (EF) function is selected. When the FIFO is empty
(i.e. the read pointer catches up to the write pointer), EF will go
LOW, inhibiting further read operations. When EF is HIGH, the
FIFO is not empty.
When writing the first word to an empty FIFO, the deassertion
time of EF is variable, and can be represent by the First Word
Latency parameter, t
FWL1, which is measured from the rising
WCLK edge that writes the first word to the rising RCLK edge
MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGES
that updates the flag. tFWL1 includes any delays due to clock
skew and can be expressed as follows:
tFWL1 max. = 10*Tf + 2*TRCLK (in ns)
where Tf is either the RCLK or the WCLK period, whichever is
shorter, and TRCLK is the RCLK period. Since no read can
take place until EF goes HIGH, the tFWL1 delay determines
how early the first word can be available at Qn. This delay has
no effect on the reading of subsequent words.
In FWFT Mode, the Ouput Ready (OR) function is selected.
OR
goes LOW at the same time that the first word written to an
empty FIFO appears valid on the outputs. OR goes HIGH one
cycle after RCLK shifts the last word from the FIFO memory
to the outputs. Then further data reads are inhibited until
OR
goes LOW again.
When writing the first word to an empty FIFO, the assertion
time of OR is variable, and can be represented by the First
Word Latency parameter, t
FWL2, which is measured from the
rising WCLK edge that writes the first word to the rising RCLK
edge that updates the flag. tFWL2 includes any delay due to
clock skew and can be expressed as follows:
tFWL2 max. = 10*Tf + 3*TRCLK (in ns)
where Tf is either the RCLK or the WCLK period, whichever is
shorter, and TRCLK is the RCLK period. Note that the First
Word Latency in FWFT mode is one RCLK cycle longer than
in IDT Standard mode. The tFWL2 delay determines how early
the first word can be available at Qn. This delay has no effect
on the reading of subsequent words.
EF/OR is sychronized to the RCLK. It is double-registered
to enhance metastable immunity.

WIDTH EXPANSION CONFIGURATION
Word width may be increased simply by connecting together the control signals of multiple devices. Status flags can
be detected from any one device. The exceptions are the
and FF functions in IDT Standard mode and the IR and
functions in FWFT mode. Because of variations in skew
between RCLK and WCLK, it is possible for EF/FF deassertion
and IR/OR assertion to vary by one cycle between FIFOs. In
EF
OR
3037 drw 24
IDT Standard mode, such problems can be avoided by creating composite flags, that is, ANDing EF of every FIFO, and
separately ANDing FF of every FIFO. In FWFT mode, composite flags can be created by ORing OR of every FIFO, and
separately ORing IR of every FIFO. Figure 22 demonstrates
an 36-word width by using two IDT72255/72265s. Any word
width can be attained by adding additional IDT72255/72265s.

The IDT72255/72265 can easily be adapted to applications
requiring more than 8,192/16,384 words of buffering. In
FWFT mode, the FIFOs can be arranged in series (the data
outputs of one FIFO connected to the data inputs of the next)–
no external logic necessary. The resulting configuration
provides a total depth equivalent to the sum of the depths
associated with each single FIFO. Figure 23 shows a depth
expansion using two IDT72255/72265s.
Care should be taken to select FWFT mode during Master
Reset for all FIFOs in the depth expansion configuration. The

first word written to an empty configuration will pass from one
FIFO to the next ("ripple down") until it finally appears at the
outputs of the last FIFO in the chain–no read operation is
necessary. Each time the data word appears at the outputs
of one FIFO, that device's OR line goes LOW, enabling a write
to the next FIFO in line.
The OR assertion time is variable and is described with the
help of the t

caused by clock skew:

where TRCLK is the RCLK period and Tf is either the RCLK or
the WCLK period, whichever is shorter.
The maximum amount of time it takes for a word to pass
from the inputs of the first FIFO to the outputs of the last FIFO
in the chain is the sum of the delays for each individual FIFO:
tFWL2(1) + tFWL2(2) + ... + tFWL2(N)+ N*TRCLK
where N is the number of FIFOs in the expansion.
Note that the additional RCLK term accounts for the time it
takes to pass data between FIFOs.
The ripple down delay is only noticeable for the first word
written to an empty depth expansion configuration. There will
be no delay evident for subsequent words written to the
configuration.
The first free location created by reading from a full depth
expansion configuration will "bubble up" from the last FIFO to
the previous one until it finally moves into the first FIFO of the

chain. Each time a free location is created in one FIFO of the
chain, that FIFO's IR line goes LOW, enabling the preceding
FIFO to write a word to fill it.
The amount of time it takes for IR of the first FIFO in the chain
to assert after a word is read from the last FIFO is the sum of
the delays for each individual FIFO:
N*(3*TWCLK)
where N is the number of FIFOs in the expansion and TWCLK
is the WCLK period. Note that one of the three WCLK cycle
accounts for TSKEW1 delays.
In a SuperSync depth expansion, set FS individually for
each FIFO in the chain. The Transfer Clock line should be tied
to either WCLK or RCLK, whichever is faster. Both these
actions result in moving, as quickly as possible, data to the
end of the chain and free locations to the beginning of the
chain.
