IDT723612L20PF

The IDT723612L20PF is a general-purpose First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory solution for a wide range of applications. It offers high-speed, error-free operation and is designed with a simple push-pull register. It provides up to 4KB of storage and is compatible with sixteen-bit I/O. The FIFO is available in two optional configurations: byte-wide and word-wide.

The IDT723612L20PF utilizes two signature-based architectures: one designated to keep track of address pointers, and the other designated to keep track of data. Data is written to the address pointed to by the write-address pointer, and is read from the address pointed to by the read-address pointer. When data is written to the FIFO, the write-address pointer is incremented. When data is read from the FIFO, the read-address pointer is incremented. By maintaining these two address pointers, the FIFO keeps track of where the data is coming from and where it is going.

The IDT723612L20PF also supports a full- and/or empty-flag output to indicate the status of the FIFO’s address pointers. A full-flag output will generate if the write-address pointer is at the same address as the read-address pointer. An empty-flag output will generate if the read-address pointer is at the same address as the write-address pointer. This allows the system designer to use the FIFO as a buffer between two different components, allowing for the efficient transfer of data between them.

The IDT723612L20PF is designed to operate at a data-read rate of up to 20 MHz and a data-write rate of up to 20 MHz. It is compatible with a wide range of VCC power-supply levels, including 2.7V, 3.3V and 5V. The FIFO is also provided with synchronous operation and auto-reset features.

The IDT723612L20PF is ideal for data buffering in applications such as audio and video buffering, DSP signal processing, communications and networking. It is also ideal for digital signal processing applications such as low-pass and high-pass filtering and digital signal interleaving. The FIFO’s address-tracking capabilities make it suitable for memory-mapping and memory-sharing as well.

Overall, the IDT723612L20PF provides a simple and high-performance solution for data buffering and memory-mapping. Its data-read and data-write speeds are up to 20 MHz, making it suitable for many high-speed applications. Furthermore, its full- and empty-flag outputs provide a simple way to monitor the FIFO’s status and ensure error-free operation. The IDT723612L20PF is therefore an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications requiring data buffering, address mapping and memory-sharing.
