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 SN74ACT7808 is a 2048-word by 9-bit FIFO designed for high speed and fast access times.
It processes data at rates up to 50 MHz and access times of 15 ns in a bit-parallel format.
Data is written into memory on a low-to-high transition at the load-clock (LDCK) input and is read out on a
low-to-high transition at the unload-clock (UNCK) input. The memory is full when the number of words clocked
in exceeds the number of words clocked out by 2048. When the memory is full, LDCK signals have no effect
on the data residing in memory. When the memory is empty, UNCK signals have no effect.

Status of the FIFO memory is monitored by the full (FULL
almost-full/almost-empty (AF/AE) flags. The FULL
memory is not full. The EMPTY
output is high when the FIFO contains 1024 or more words and is low when it contains 1023 or fewer words.
The AF/AE status flag is a programmable flag. The first one or two low-to-high transitions of LDCK after reset
can be used to program the almost-empty offset value (X) and the almost-full offset value (Y) if program enable
(PEN
) is low. The AF/AE flag is high when the FIFO contains X or fewer words or (2048 – Y) or more words.
The AF/AE flag is low when the FIFO contains between (X + 1) and (2047 – Y) words.

It is important to note that the first word does not have to be unloaded. Data outputs are noninverting with respect
to the data inputs and are in the high-impedance state when the output-enable (OE) input is low. OE does not
affect the output flags.
Cascading is easily accomplished in the word-width and word-depth directions. When not using the FIFO in

HF O Half-full flag. HF is high when the FIFO memory contains 1024 or more words. HF is low after reset.

I/O DESCRIPTION
Almost-full/almost-empty flag. Depth-offset values can be programmed for AF/AE or the default value of 256 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 (2048 – Y) or more words. AF/AE is high after reset.

First load. When multiple SN74ACT7808 devices are depth cascaded, the first device in the chain must have its FL
