description
A FIFO memory is a storage device that allows data to be written into and read from its array at independent
data rates. The SN54ACT781 1 is a 1024 × 18-bit FIFO for high speed and fast access times. It processes data
at rates up to 28.5 MHz and access times of 20 ns in a bit-parallel format. Data outputs are noninverting with
respect to the data inputs. Expansion is easily accomplished in both word width and word depth.
The SN54ACT781 1 has normal input-bus-to-output-bus asynchronous operation. The special enable circuitry
adds the ability to synchronize independent read and write (interrupts, requests) to their respective system
clock.

Terminal Functions
AF/AE boundary is defined by the AF/AE offset value (X). This value can be programmed during
reset, or the default value of 256 can be used. The AF/AE flag is high when the FIFO contains (X + 1)
or fewer words or (1025 – X) or more words. The AF/AE flag is low when the FIFO contains between
(X + 2) and (1024 - X) words.
Programming procedure for AF/AE – The AF/AE flag is programmed during each reset cycle. The
AF/AE offset value (X) is either a user-defined value or the default of X = 256. Instructions to program
AF/AE using both methods are as follows:
User-defined X
Step 1:

Step 3:
Step 4:
Default X
T o redefine the AF/AE flag using the default value of X = 256, hold DAF high during the reset
cycle.
Define almost full. The high-to-low transition of DAF stores the binary value of data inputs as the
AF/AE offset value (X). With DAF

offset value (X) on a high-to-low transition of the DAF
Half-full flag. HF is high when the FIFO contains 513 or more words and is low when it contains 512
or fewer words.
Input-ready flag. IR is high when the FIFO is not full and low when the device is full. During reset, IR
is driven low on the rising edge of the second write clock (WRTCLK) pulse. IR is then driven high on
the rising edge of the second WRTCLK pulse after RESET
is driven low, IR is driven high on the second WRTCLK pulse after the first valid read.
Output enable. The data-out (Q0–Q17) outputs are in the high-impedance state when OE is low. OE
must be high before the rising edge of read clock (RDCLK) to read a word from memory.
Output ready flag. OR is high when the FIFO is not empty and low when it is empty. During reset, OR
is set low on the rising edge of the third read clock (RDCLK) pulse. OR is set high on the rising edge
of the third RDCLK pulse to occur after the first word is written into the FIFO. OR is set low on the
rising edge of the first RDCLK pulse after the last word is read.
Data outputs. The first data word to be loaded into the FIFO is moved to the data-out (Q0–Q17)
register on the rising edge of the third read clock (RDCLK) pulse to occur after the first valid write.
O
The read-enable (RDEN1, RDEN2) inputs do not affect this operation. The following data is unloaded
on the rising edge of RDCLK when RDEN1, RDEN2, OE, and OR are high.
Read clock. Data is read out of memory on a low-to-high transition at RDCLK if the OR output and
the OE, RDEN1, and RDEN2 control inputs are high. RDCLK is a free-running clock and functions
as the synchronizing clock for all data transfers out of the FIFO. OR is also driven synchronously with
respect to RDCLK.
Read enable. RDEN1 and RDEN2 must be high before a rising edge on RDCLK to read a word out
I
of memory. The read enables are not used to read the first word stored in memory.
Reset. A reset is accomplished by taking RESET low and generating a minimum of four RDCLK and
WRTCLK cycles. This ensures that the internal read and write pointers are reset and that OR, HF,
and IR are low and AF/AE is high. The FIFO must be reset upon power up. With DAF
