DESCRIPTION:
The IDT72401 and IDT72403 are asynchronous highperformance First-ln/First-Out memories organized 64 words
by 4 bits. The IDT72402 and IDT72404 are asynchronous
high-performance First-ln/First-Out memories organized as
64 words by 5 bits. The IDT72403 and IDT72404 also have an
Output Enable (OE) pin. The FlFOs accept 4-bit or 5-bit data
at the data input (D
0-D3, 4). The stored data stack up on a first-
in/first-out basis.
A Shift Out (SO) signal causes the data at the next to last
word to be shifted to the output while all other data shifts down
one location in the stack. The Input Ready (IR) signal acts like
a flag to indicate when the input is ready for new data
(IR = HIGH) or to signal when the FIFO is full (IR = LOW). The
Input Ready signal can also be used to cascade multiple
devices together. The Output Ready (OR) signal is a flag to
indicate that the output remains valid data (OR = HIGH) or to
indicate that the FIFO is empty (OR = LOW). The Output
Ready can also be used to cascade multiple devices together.
Width expansion is accomplished by logically ANDing the
Input Ready (IR) and Output Ready (OR) signals to form
composite signals.
Depth expansion is accomplished by tying the data inputs
of one device to the data outputs of the previous device. The
Input Ready pin of the receiving device is connected to the
Shift Out pin of the sending device and the Output Ready pin
of the sending device is connected to the Shift In pin of the
receiving device.
Reading and writing operations are completely asynchronous allowing the FIFO to be used as a buffer between two
digital machines of widely varying operating frequencies. The
45MHz speed makes these FlFOs ideal for high-speed
communication and controller applications.
Military grade product is manufactured in compliance with
the latest revision of MIL-STD-883, Class B.

NOTES:
1. Since the FIFO is a very high-speed device, care must be excercised in the design of the hardware and timing utilized within the design. Device grounding
and decoupling are crucial to correct operation as the FIFO will respond to very small glitches due to long reflective lines, high capacitances and/or poor
supply decoupling and grounding. A monolithic ceramic capacitor of 0.1µF directly between V

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CONTROLS:
SHIFT IN (SI)
Shift In controls the input of the data into the FIFO. When
SI is HIGH, data can be written to the FIFO via the D0-3, 4 lines.
SHIFT OUT (SO)
Shift Out controls the output of data of the FIFO. When SO
is HIGH, data can be read from the FIFO via the Data Output
(Q
0-3, 4) lines.
MASTER RESET (MR)
Master Reset clears the FIFO of any data stored within.
Upon power up, the FIFO should be cleared with a Master
Reset. Master Reset is active LOW.
INPUT READY (IR)
When Input Ready is HIGH, the FIFO is ready for new input
data to be written to it. When IR is LOW the FIFO is unavailable
for new input data. Input Ready is also used to cascade many
FlFOs together, as shown in Figures 10 and 11 in the Applications section.
OUTPUT READY (OR)
When Output Ready is HIGH, the output (Q0-3, 4) contains
valid data. When OR is LOW, the FIFO is unavailable for new
output data. Output Ready is also used to cascade many
FlFOs together, as shown in Figures 10 and 11.
These 64 x 4 and 64 x 5 FIFOs are designed using a dual
port RAM architecture as opposed to the traditional shift
register approach. This FIFO architecture has a write pointer,
a read pointer and control logic, which allow simultaneous
read and write operations. The write pointer is incremented by
the falling edge of the Shift In (Sl) control; the read pointer is
incremented by the falling edge of the Shift Out (SO). The
Input Ready (IR) signals when the FIFO has an available
memory location; Output Ready (OR) signals when there is
valid data on the output. Output Enable (
OE) provides the
capability of three-stating the FIFO outputs.
FIFO Reset
The FIFO must be reset upon power up using the Master
Reset (MR) signal. This causes the FlFO to enter an empty
state, signified by Output Ready (OR) being LOW and Input
Ready (IR) being HIGH. In this state, the data outputs (Q0-3,
4) will be LOW.
Data Input
Data is shifted in on the LOW-to-HlGH transition of Shift In
(Sl). This loads input data into the first word location of the
FIFO and causes Input Ready to go LOW. On the HlGH-toLOW transition of Shift In, the write pointer is moved to the next
word position and Input Ready (IR) goes HIGH, indicating the
readiness to accept new data. If the FIFO is full, Input Ready
will remain LOW until a word of data is shifted out.
OUTPUT ENABLE (
OE) (IDT72403 AND IDT72404 ONLY)
Output enable is used to read FIFO data onto a bus. Output
Enable is active LOW.

CMOS PARALLEL FIFO 64 x 4-BIT AND 64 x 5-BITMILITARY AND COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGES
Data Output
Data is shifted out on the HlGH-to-LOW transition of Shift
Out (SO). This causes the internal read pointer to be
advanced to the next word location. If data is present, valid
data will appear on the outputs and Output Ready (OR) will
go HIGH. If data is not present, Output Ready will stay
LOW indicating the FIFO is empty. The last valid word read
from the FIFO will remain at the FlFOs output when it is empty.
When the FIFO is not empty, Output Ready (OR) goes LOW
on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of Shift Out. Previous data
remains on the output until the HIGH-to-LOW transition of
Shift Out (SO).

Fall-Through Mode
The FIFO operates in a fall-through mode when data gets
shifted into an empty FIFO. After a fall-through delay the data
propagates to the output. When the data reaches the output,
the Output Ready (OR) goes HIGH. Fall-through mode also
occurs when the FIFO is completely full. When data is shifted
out of the full FIFO, a location is available for new data. After
a fall-through delay, the Input Ready goes HIGH. If Shift In is
HIGH, the new data can be written to the FIFO.
Since these FlFOs are based on an internal dual-port RAM
architecture with separate read and write pointers, the fallthrough time (tPT) is one cycle long. A word may be written
into the FIFO on a clock cycle and can be accessed on the next
clock cycle.

1. When the memory is empty, the last word will remain on the outputs until the Master Reset is strobed or a new data word falls through to the output.
However, OR will remain LOW, indicating data at the output is not valid.
2. When the output data changes as a result of a pulse on SO, the OR signal always goes LOW before there is any change in output data and stays
LOW until the new data has appeared on the outputs. Anytime OR is HIGH, there is valid stable data on the outputs.

4. When the Master Reset is brought Low, the outputs are cleared to LOW, IR goes HIGH and OR goes LOW. If SI is HIGH when the Master Reset
goes HIGH, the data on the inputs will be written into the memory and IR will return to the LOW state until SI is brought LOW. If SI is LOW when the
Master Reset is ended, IR will go HIGH, but the data in the inputs will not enter the memory until SI goes HIGH.
