DESCRIPTION:
The IDT723613 is a monolithic, high-speed, low-power,
BiCMOS synchronous (clocked) FIFO memory which supports clock frequencies up to 67 MHz and has read-access
times as fast as 10 ns. The 64 x 36 dual-port SRAM FIFO
buffers data from port A to port B. The FIFO has flags to
indicate empty and full conditions, and two programmable
flags, Almost-Full (AF) and Almost-Empty (AE), to indicate

IDT723613 CMOS CLOCKED FIFO WITH BUS MATCHING AND BYTE SWAPPING
64 x 36 COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGES
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
when a selected number of words is stored in memory. FIFO
data on port B can be output in 36-bit, 18-bit, and 9-bit formats
with a choice of big- or little-endian configurations. Three
modes of byte-order swapping are possible with any bus-size
selection. Communication between each port can bypass the
FIFO via two 36-bit mailbox registers. Each mailbox register
has a flag to signal when new mail has been stored. Parity is
checked passively on each port and may be ignored if not
desired. Parity generation can be selected for data read from
each port. Two or more devices may be used in parallel to
create wider data paths.
The IDT723613 is a synchronous (clocked) FIFO, meaning
each port employs a synchronous interface. All data transfers

through a port are gated to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of a
continuous (free-running) port clock by enable signals. The
continuous clocks for each port are independent of one
another and can be asynchronous or coincident. The enables
for each port are arranged to provide a simple interface
between microprocessors and/or buses with synchronous
interfaces.
The Full Flag (FF) and Almost-Full (AF) flag of the FIFO are
two-stage synchronized to the port clock (CLKA) that writes
data into its array. The Empty Flag (EF) and Almost-Empty
(AE) flag of the FIFO are two-stage synchronized to the port
clock (CLKB) that reads data from its array.
The IDT723613 is characterized for operation from 0°C to
70°C.

is LOW, W/RA
FFA
is HIGH (see
Table 2).
The state of the port B data (B0-B35) outputs is controlled by the port B chip select (
CSB
) and the port B write/read
select (W/RB). The B0-B35 outputs are in the high-impedance
state when either
are active when both
CSB
or W/RB is HIGH. The B0-B35 outputs
CSB
and W/RB are LOW. Data is read
from the FIFO to the B0-B35 outputs by a LOW-to-HIGH
transition of CLKB when
HIGH,
EFB
is HIGH, and either SIZ0 or SIZ1 is LOW (see
CSB
is LOW, W/RB is LOW, ENB is
Table 3).
The setup and hold-time constraints to the port clocks for
the port chip selects (
R
A, W/RB) are only for enabling write and read operations and
CSA, CSB
) and write/read selects (W/
are not related to high-impedance control of the data outputs.
If a port enable is LOW during a clock cycle, the port’s chip
select and write/read select can change states during the
setup and hold time window of the cycle.
SYNCHRONIZED FIFO FLAGS
Each FIFO flag is synchronized to its port clock through
two flip-flop stages. This is done to improve the flags’
reliability by reducing the probability of metastable events on
their outputs when CLKA and CLKB operate asynchronously
to one another. FF and AF are synchronized to CLKA. EF and
AE
are synchronized to CLKB. Table 4 shows the relationship
