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

automatically on the outputs, no read operation required. The
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.

HF

is a flag whose threshold is fixed at the half-way point in

memory. This flag can always be used irrespective of mode.

PAE, PAF

can be programmed independantly to any point
in memory. They, also, can be used irrespective of mode.
Programmable offsets determine the flag threshold and can
be loaded by two methods: parallel or serial. Two default
offset settings are also provided, such that

During Master Reset (

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 (

) also sets the read and write
pointers to the first location of the memory. However, the
mode setting, programming method, and partial flag offsets
are not altered. The flags are updated accordingly.

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
(by activating control inputs) will immediately take the device

A Partial Reset is useful for resetting the device during the
course of operation, when reprogramming flag settings may
not be convenient.

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"

-enabled rising RCLK edge

following the end of Retransmit Setup (the point at which

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.

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,
in this case,
is updated on the "last" RCLK rising edge.
after two more rising RCLK edges.

REN

is not required to initiate flag updating.

PAE

PAF

is updated after the

HF

is updated

"last" rising RCLK edge, followed by the next two rising WCLK
edges. (If the t

skew2 specification is not met, add one more

WCLK cycle.)

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 (

Serial Enable is (

SEN

)

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
the empty boundary), 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
loading of other offset values.

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
