description
The SN74ACT7805 is a 256-word ×18-bit clocked
RESET
WRTCLK
WRTEN2
WRTEN1
FIFO suited for buffering asynchronous data
paths up to 67-MHz clock rates and 12-ns access
times. Two devices can be configured for bidirectional data buf fering without additional logic. Multiple distributed
V
and GND pins, along with Texas Instruments patented output edge control (OEC) circuit, dampen
CC
simultaneous switching noise.
The write clock (WRTCLK) and read clock (RDCLK) are free running and can be asynchronous or coincident.
Data is written to memory on the rising edge of WRTCLK when WRTEN1 is high, WRTEN2
Data is read from memory on the rising edge of RDCLK when RDEN
, OE1, and OE2 are low and OR is high.
The first word written to memory is clocked through to the output buffer , regardless of the RDEN
is low, and IR is high.
, OE1, and OE2
levels. The OR flag indicates that valid data is present on the output buffer.
The FIFO can be reset asynchronously to WRTCLK and RDCLK. RESET
must be asserted while at least four
WRTCLK and four RDCLK rising edges occur to clear the synchronizing registers. Resetting the FIFO initializes
the input-ready (IR), output-ready (OR), and half-full (HF) flags low and the almost-full/almost-empty (AF/AE)
flag high. The FIFO must be reset upon power up.
The SN74ACT7805 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

value of 32 can be used for both the almost-empty offset (X) and the almost-full offset (Y). AF/AE is
high when memory contains X or fewer words or (256 – Y) or more words. AF/AE is high after reset.
I 18-bit data input port
Input-ready flag. IR is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of WRTCLK. When IR is low, the
FIFO is full and writes are disabled. IR is low during reset and goes high on the second low-to-high
transition of WRTCLK after reset.
Output enables. When OE1, OE2, and RDEN are low and OR is high, data is read from the FIFO on
a low-to-high transition of RDCLK. When either OE1
outputs are in the high-impedance state.
Output-ready flag. OR is synchronized to the low-to-high transition of RDCLK. When OR is low, the
FIFO is empty and reads are disabled. Ready data is present on Q0–Q17 when OR is high. OR is
low during reset and goes high on the third low-to-high transition of RDCLK after the first word is
loaded to empty memory .
Program enable. After reset and before the first word is written to the FIFO, the binary value on D0–D6
is latched as an AF/AE offset value when PEN

on the third rising edge of RDCLK. OR also is asserted high at this time to indicate ready data. When
O
OR is low, the last word read from the FIFO is present on Q0–Q17.
Read clock. RDCLK is a continuous clock and can be asynchronous or coincident to WRTCLK. A
low-to-high transition of RDCLK reads data from memory when OE1
OR is high. OR is synchronous to the low-to-high transition or RDCLK.
Read enable. When RDEN, OE1, and OE2 are low and OR is high, data is read from the FIFO on
the low-to-high transition of RDCLK.
Reset. To reset the FIFO, four low-to-high transitions of RDCLK and four low-to-high transitions of
WRTCLK must occur while RESET
Write clock. WRTCLK is a continuous clock and can be asynchronous or coincident to RDCLK. A
low-to-high transition of WRTCLK writes data to memory when WRTEN2
and IR is high. IR is synchronous to the low-to-high transition of WRTCLK.
Write enables. When WRTEN1 is high, WRTEN2 is low, and IR is high, data is written to the FIFO
