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 SN74ALVC7814 is
an 18-bit FIFO with high speed and fast access
times. Data is processed at rates up to 40 MHz
with access times of 18 ns in a bit-parallel format.
These memories are designed for 3-V to 3.6-V
V
operation.
CC
Data is written into memory on a low-to-high
transition of the load clock (LDCK) and is read out
on a low-to-high transition of the unload clock
(UNCK). The memory is full when the number of
words clocked in exceeds the number of words
clocked out by 64. When the memory is full, LDCK
has no effect on the data residing in memory.
When the memory is empty , UNCK has no effect.

Status of the FIFO memory is monitored by the full (FULL

is high whenever the FIFO contains 32 or more words and low when it contains 31 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 are used to
program the almost-empty offset value (X) and the almost-full offset value (Y) if program enable (PEN
The AF/AE flag is high when the FIFO contains X or fewer words or (64 – Y) or more words. The AF/AE flag
is low when the FIFO contains between (X + 1) and (63 – Y) words.
