description
The SN74ACT3631 is a high-speed, low-power, CMOS clocked FIFO memory. It supports clock frequencies
up to 67 MHz and has read access times as fast as 1 1 ns. The 512 × 36 dual-port SRAM FIFO buffers data from
port A to port B. The FIFO memory has retransmit capability , which allows previously read data to be accessed
again. The FIFO has flags to indicate empty and full conditions and two programmable flags (almost full and
almost empty) to indicate when a selected number of words is stored in memory . Communication between each
port can take place with two 36-bit mailbox registers. Each mailbox register has a flag to signal when new mail
has been stored. Two or more devices can be used in parallel to create wider datapaths. Expansion also is
possible in word depth.

The SN74ACT3631 is a clocked FIFO, which means 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 control.
The input-ready (IR) flag and almost-full (AF
output-ready (OR) flag and almost-empty (AE
values for the AF and AE flags of the FIFO can be programmed from port A or through a serial input.
The SN74ACT3631 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

reset
The SN74ACT3631 is reset by taking the reset (RST
port-B clock (CLKB) low-to-high transitions. The reset input can switch asynchronously to the clocks. A reset
initializes the memory read and write pointers and forces the input-ready (IR) flag low, the output-ready (OR)
flag high, the almost-empty (AE

cycles to begin normal operation. A FIFO must be reset after power up before data is written to its memory.
almost-empty flag and almost-full flag offset programming
Two registers in the SN74ACT3631 are used to hold the of fset values for the almost-empty and almost-full flags.
The almost-empty (AE
) flag offset register is labeled X, and the almost-full (AF) flag of fset register is labeled Y.
The offset registers can be loaded with a value in three ways: one of two preset values is loaded into the offset
registers, parallel load from port A, or serial load. The offset register programming mode is chosen by the flag
select (FS1, FS0) inputs during a low-to-high transition on the RST

If a preset value of 8 or 64 is chosen by FS1 and FS0 at the time of a RST low-to-high transition according to
Table 1, the preset value is automatically loaded into the X and Y registers. No other device initialization is
necessary to begin normal operation, and the IR flag is set high after two low-to-high transitions on CLKA.
parallel load from port A
To program the X and Y registers from port A, the device is reset with FS0 and FS1 low during the low-to-high
transition of RST
. After this reset is complete, the IR flag is set high after two low-to-high transitions on CLKA.
The first two writes to the FIFO do not store data in its memory but load the offset registers in the order Y, X.
Each offset register of the SN74ACT3631 uses port-A inputs (A8 –A0). The highest number input is used as
the most-significant bit of the binary number in each case. Each register value can be programmed from 1 to
508. After both offset registers are programmed from port A, subsequent FIFO writes store data in the SRAM.

When the option to program the offset registers serially is chosen, the input-ready (IR) flag remains low until
all register bits are written. The IR flag is set high by the low-to-high transition of CLKA after the last bit is loaded

The port-B control signals are identical to those of port A, with the exception that the port-B write/read select
(W
/RB) is the inverse of the port-A write/read select (W/RA). The state of the port-B data (B0–B35) outputs is

/RB, the port-B enable (ENB), and the output-ready (OR) flag are high
(see Table 3). Reads from the FIFO are independent of any concurrent FIFO writes.
The setup- and hold-time constraints to the port clocks for the port-chip selects and write/read selects are only
for enabling write and read operations and are not related to high-impedance control of the data outputs. If a
port enable is low during a clock cycle, the port-chip select and write/read select can change states during the
setup- and hold-time window of the cycle.
When the output-ready (OR) flag is low, the next data word is sent to the FIFO output register automatically by
the CLKB low-to-high transition that sets the output-ready flag high. When OR is high, an available data word
is clocked to the FIFO output register only when a FIFO read is selected by the port-B chip select (CSB
write/read select (W
/RB), enable (ENB), and mailbox select (MBB).
synchronized FIFO flags
Each FIFO flag is synchronized to its port clock through at least 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 .
OR and AE are synchronized to CLKB. IR and AF are synchronized to CLKA.

output-ready flag (OR)
The output-ready flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that reads data from its array (CLKB). When
the output-ready flag is high, new data is present in the FIFO output register. When the output-ready flag is low ,
the previous data word is present in the FIFO output register and attempted FIFO reads are ignored.
A FIFO read pointer is incremented each time a new word is clocked to its output register. From the time a word
is written to a FIFO, it can be shifted to the FIFO output register in a minimum of three cycles of CLKB; therefore,
an output-ready flag is low if a word in memory is the next data to be sent to the FIFO output register and three
CLKB cycles have not elapsed since the time the word was written. The output-ready flag of the FIFO remains
low until the third low-to-high transition of CLKB occurs, simultaneously forcing the output-ready flag high and
shifting the word to the FIFO output register.
A low-to-high transition on CLKB begins the first synchronization cycle of a write if the clock transition
occurs at time t

input-ready flag (IR)
The input-ready flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes data to its array (CLKA). When the

when the input-ready flag is low and attempted writes to the FIFO are ignored.

Each time a word is written to a FIFO, its write pointer is incremented. From the time a word is read from a FIFO,
its previous memory location is ready to be written in a minimum of three cycles of CLKA; therefore, an
input-ready flag is low if less than two cycles of CLKA have elapsed since the next memory write location has
been read. The second low-to-high transition on CLKA after the read sets the input-ready flag high, and data
can be written in the following cycle.
A low-to-high transition on CLKA begins the first synchronization cycle of a read if the clock transition

sk(1)
almost-empty flag (AE)
The almost-empty flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that reads data from its array (CLKB). The
almost-empty state is defined by the contents of register X. This register is loaded with a preset value during
a FIFO reset, programmed from port A, or programmed serially (see
programming
FIFO contains (X + 1) or more words. A data word present in the FIFO output register has been read from
memory.
Two low-to-high transitions of CLKB are required after a FIFO write for the almost-empty flag to reflect the new
level of fill; therefore, the almost-empty flag of a FIFO containing (X + 1) or more words remains low if two cycles
of CLKB have not elapsed since the write that filled the memory to the (X + 1) level. An almost-empty flag is set
high by the second low-to-high transition of CLKB after the FIFO write that fills memory to the (X + 1) level.
A low-to-high transition of CLKB begins the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time t

almost-full flag (AF)
The almost-full flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes data to its array (CLKA). The almost-full

programmed from port A, or programmed serially (see

Two low-to-high transitions of CLKA are required after a FIFO read for its almost-full flag to reflect the new level
of fill; therefore, the almost-full flag of a FIFO containing [512 – (Y + 1)] or fewer words remains low if two cycles
of CLKA have not elapsed since the read that reduced the number of words in memory to [512 – (Y + 1)]. An
almost-full flag is set high by the second low-to-high transition of CLKA after the FIFO read that reduces the
number of words in memory to [512 – (Y + 1)]. A low-to-high transition of CLKA begins the first synchronization
cycle if it occurs at time t
[512 – (Y + 1)]. Otherwise, the subsequent CLKA cycle can be the first synchronization cycle (see Figure 9).
synchronous retransmit
The synchronous-retransmit feature of the SN74ACT3631 allows FIFO data to be read repeatedly starting at
a user-selected position. The FIFO is first put into retransmit mode to select a beginning word and prevent
ongoing FIFO write operations from destroying retransmit data. Data vectors with a minimum length of three
words can retransmit repeatedly starting at the selected word. The FIFO can be taken out of retransmit mode
at any time and allow normal device operation.
The FIFO is put in retransmit mode by a low-to-high transition on CLKB when the retransmit-mode (RTM) input
is high and OR is high. This rising CLKB edge marks the data present in the FIFO output register as the first
retransmit data. The FIFO remains in retransmit mode until a low-to-high transition occurs while RTM is low.
When two or more reads occur after the initial retransmit word, a retransmit is initiated by a low-to-high transition
on CLKB when the read-from-mark (RFM) input is high. This rising CLKB edge shifts the first retransmit word
to the FIFO output register and subsequent reads can begin immediately. Retransmit loops can be done
endlessly while the FIFO is in retransmit mode. RFM must be low during the CLKB rising edge that takes the
FIFO out of retransmit mode.
, or greater, after the read that reduces the number of words in memory to
sk(2)
When the FIFO is put into retransmit mode, it operates with two read pointers. The current read pointer operates
normally , incrementing each time a new word is shifted to the FIFO output register and used by the OR and AE
flags. The shadow read pointer stores the SRAM location at the time the device is put into retransmit mode and
does not change until the device is taken out of retransmit mode. The shadow read pointer is used by the IR
and AF
stores (512 – Y) words after the first retransmit word. The IR flag is set low by the 512th write after the first
retransmit word.
When the FIFO is in retransmit mode and RFM is high, a rising CLKB edge loads the current read pointer with
the shadow read-pointer value and the OR flag reflects the new level of fill immediately . If the retransmit changes
the FIFO status out of the almost-empty range, up to two CLKB rising edges after the retransmit cycle are
needed to switch AE

out of retransmit mode is the first synchronizing cycle of IR if it occurs at time t

mailbox registers
Two 36-bit bypass registers pass command and control information between port A and port B. The
