DESCRIPTION:
The IDT72605 and IDT72615 are very high-speed, low-power bidirec-
tional First-In, First-Out (FIFO) memories, with synchronous interface for fast
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
read and write cycle times. The SyncBiFIFO™ is a data buffer that can store
or retrieve information from two sources simultaneously. Two Dual-Port FIFO
memory arrays are contained in the SyncBiFIFO; one data buffer for each
direction.
The SyncBiFIFO has registers on all inputs and outputs. Data is only
transferred into the I/O registers on clock edges, hence the interfaces are
synchronous. Each Port has its own independent clock. Data transfers to the
I/O registers are gated by the enable signals. The transfer direction for each
port is controlled independently by a read/write signal. Individual output enable
signals control whether the SyncBiFIFO is driving the data lines of a port or
whether those data lines are in a high-impedance state.
Bypass control allows data to be directly transferred from input to output
register in either direction.
The SyncBiFIFO has eight flags. The flag pins are Full, Empty, Almost-Full,
and Almost-Empty for both FIFO memories. The offset depths of the Almost-Full
and Almost-Empty flags can be programmed to any location.
The SyncBiFIFO is fabricated using IDT’s high-speed, submicron CMOS
technology.

INDUSTRIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
IDTs SyncBiFIFO is versatile for both multiprocessor and peripheral
applications. Data can be stored or retrieved from two sources simultaneously.
The SyncBiFIFO has registers on all inputs and outputs. Data is only
transferred into the I/O registers on clock edges, hence the interfaces are
synchronous. Two Dual-Port FIFO memory arrays are contained in the
SyncBiFIFO; one data buffer for each direction. Each port has its own
independent clock. Data transfers to the I/O registers are gated by the enable
signals. The transfer direction for each port is controlled independently by a
read/write signal. Individual output enable signals control whether the SyncBiFIFO
is driving the data lines of a port or whether those data lines are in a highimpedance state. The processor connected to Port A of the BiFIFO can send
or receive messages directly to the Port B device using the 18-bit bypass path.
The SyncBiFIFO can be used in multiples of 18-bits. In a 36- to 36-bit
configuration, two SyncBiFIFOs operate in parallel. Both devices are programmed simultaneously, 18 data bits to each device. This configuration can
be extended to wider bus widths (54- to 54-bits, 72- to 72-bits, etc.) by adding
more SyncBiFIFOs to the configuration. Figure 1 shows multiple SyncBiFIFOs
configured for multiprocessor communication.
The microprocessor or microcontroller connected to Port A controls all
operations of the SyncBiFIFO. Thus, all Port A interface pins are inputs driven
by the controlling processor. Port B interfaces with a second processor. The
Port B control pins are inputs driven by the second processor.
RESET
Reset is accomplished whenever the Reset (RS) input is taken to a LOW state
A, ENA and ENB HIGH. During reset, both internal read and write
with CS
pointers are set to the first location. A reset is required after power up before a
write operation can take place. The A→B and B→A FIFO Empty Flags (EFAB,
EFBA) and Programmable Almost-Empty flags (PAEAB, PAEBA) will be set to
LOW after tRSF. The A→B and B→A FIFO Full Flags (FFAB, FFBA) and
Programmable Almost- Full flags (PAFAB, PAFBA) will be set to HIGH after tRSF.
After the reset, the offsets of the Almost-Empty flags and Almost- Full flags for the
A→B and B→A FIFO offset default to 8.
PORT A INTERFACE
The SyncBiFIFO is straightforward to use in micro-processor-based
systems because each port has a standard microprocessor control set. Port A
interfaces with microprocessor through the three address pins (A
2-A0) and a
Chip Select CSA pins. When CSA is asserted, A2,A1,A0 and R/WA are used
to select one of six internal resources (Table 1).
With A2=0 and A1=0, A0 determines whether data can be read out of output
register or be written into the FIFO (A0=0), or the data can pass through the
FIFO through the bypass path (A0=1).
2=1, four programmable flags (two A→B FIFO programmable flags
With A
and two B→A FIFO programmable flags) can be selected: the A→B FIFO
Almost-Empty flag Offset (A1=0, A0=0), A→B FIFO Almost-Full flag Offset
(A
Port A is disabled when CSA is deasserted and data A is in high-impedance
state.
BYPASS PATH
The bypass paths provide direct communication between Port A and Port
B. There are two full 18-bit bypass paths, one in each direction. During a bypass
operation, data is passed directly between the input and output registers, and
the FIFO memory is undisturbed.
Port A initiates and terminates all bypass operations. The bypass flag, BYP
is asserted to inform Port B that a bypass operation is beginning. The bypass
flag state is controlled by the Port A controls, although the BYPB signal is
synchronized to CLKB. So, BYPB is asserted on the next rising edge of CLKB
when A2A1A0=001and CS A is LOW. When Port A returns to normal FIFO mode
(A2A1A0=000 or CSA is HIGH), BYPB is deasserted on the next CLKB rising
edge.
Once the SyncBiFIFO is in bypass mode, all data transfers are controlled
by the standard Port A (R/WA, CLKA, ENA, OEA) and Port B (R/WB, CLKB,
ENB, OEB) interface pins. Each bypass path can be considered as a one word
deep FIFO. Data is held in each input register until it is read. Since the controls

of each port operate independently, Port A can be reading bypass data at the
same time Port B is reading bypass data.
When R/WA and ENA is LOW, data on pins DA0-DA17 is written into Port
A input register. Following the rising edge of CLKA for this write, the A→B Full
Flag (FFAB) goes LOW. Subsequent writes into Port A are blocked by internal
logic until FFAB goes HIGH again. On the next CLKB rising edge, the A→B
Empty Flag (EFAB) goes HIGH indicating to Port B that data is available. Once
R/WB is HIGH and ENB is LOW, data is read into the Port B output register. OEB
still controls whether Port B is in a high-impedance state. When OEB is LOW,
the output register data appears at DB0-DB17. EFAB goes LOW following the
CLKB rising edge for this read. FFAB goes HIGH on the next CLKA rising edge,
letting Port A know that another word can be written through the bypass path.
Bypass data transfers from Port B to Port A work in a similar manner with
EFBA and FFBA indicating the Port A output register state.
When the Port A address changes from bypass mode (A2A1A0=001) to
FIFO mode (A2A1A0=000) on the rising edge of CLKA, the data held in the Port
B output register may be overwritten. Unless Port A monitors the BYPB pin and
waits for Port B to clock out the last bypass word, data from the A→B FIFO will
overwrite data in the Port B output register. BYPB will go HIGH on the rising
edge of CLKB signifying that Port B has finished its last bypass operation. Port
B must read any bypass data in the output register on this last CLKB clock or
it is lost and the SyncBiFIFO returns to FIFO operations. It is especially important
to monitor BYPB when CLKB is much slower than CLKA to avoid this condition.
BYPB will also go HIGH after CSA is brought HIGH; in this manner the Port B
bypass data may also be lost.
Since the Port A processor controls CSA and the bypass mode, this scenario
can be handled for B→A bypass data. The Port A processor must be set up
to read the last bypass word before leaving bypass mode.
PORT A CONTROL SIGNALS
The Port A control signals pins dictate the various operations shown in Table
2. Port A is accessed when CS
A is LOW, and is inactive if CSA is HIGH. R/
WA and ENA lines determine when Data A can be written or read. If R/WA and
ENA are LOW, data is written into input register on the LOW-to-HIGH transition
of CLKA. If R/WA is HIGH and OEA is LOW, data comes out of bus and is read
from output register into three-state buffer. Refer to pin descriptions for more
information.
The IDT SyncBiFIFO has eight flags: four flags for A→B FIFO (EF
PAEAB, PAFAB, FFAB), and four flags for B→A FIFO (EFBA, PAEBA, PAFBA,
FFBA). The Empty and Full flags are fixed, while the Almost-Empty and Almost-
Full offsets can be set to any depth through the Flag Offset Registers (see Table
3). The flags are asserted at the depths shown in the Flag Truth Table (Table
4). After reset, the programmable flag offsets are set to 8. This means the AlmostEmpty flags are asserted at Empty +8 words deep, and the Almost-Full flags are
asserted at Full -8 words deep.
The PAEAB is synchronized to CLKB, while PAEAB is synchronized to CLKA;
and PAEBA is synchronized to CLKA, while PAEBA is synchronized to CLKB.
If the minimum time (tSKEW2) between a rising CLKB and a rising CLKA is met,
the flag will change state on the current clock; otherwise, the flag may not change
state until the next clock rising edge. For the specific flag timings, refer to Figures
12-15.

bypass data is read from the Port B output register.
Data B is written on CLKB ↑. This write cycle immediately following output low-impedance cycle is prohibited. Note
that even though OE
B = 0, a LOW logic level on R/WB, once qualified by a rising edge on CLKB, will put Data B into a high-
impedance state.
