Almost-Empty) to indicate when a selected number of words is stored in
memory. Communication between each port can bypass the FIFOs via two
36-bit mailbox registers. Each mailbox register has a flag to signal when new
mail has been stored. Parity is checked passively on each port and may be
ignored if not desired. Parity generation can be selected for data read from
each port. Two or more devices can be used in parallel to create wider data
paths.
This device 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 port clock by enable signals. The 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 bi-directional interface
between microprocessors and/or buses with synchronous control.
The Full Flag (FFA, FFB) and Almost-Full (AFA, AFB) flag of a FIFO are
two-stage synchronized to the port clock that writes data to its array. The Empty
Flag (EFA, EFB) and Almost-Empty (AEA, AEB) flag of a FIFO are two stage
synchronized to the port clock that reads data from its array.
The IDT723612 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

PIN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Symbol Name I/O Description
ODD/ Odd/Even Parity I Odd parity is checked on each port when ODD/EVEN is HIGH, and even parity is checked when
EVEN Select ODD/EVEN is LOW. ODD/EVEN also selects the type of parity generated for each port if parity
generation is enabled for a read operation.
PEFA Port-A Parity Error O When any byte applied to terminals A0-A35 fails parity, PEFA is LOW. Bytes are organized as
Flag (Port A) A0-A8, A9-A17, A18-A26, and A27-A35, with the most significant bit of each byte serving as
the parity bit. The type of parity checked is determined by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. The
parity trees used to check the A0-A35 inputs are shared by the mail2 register to generate parity if
parity generation is selected by PGA. Therefore, if a mail2 read with parity generation is setup by
having W/RA LOW, MBA HIGH, and PGA HIGH, the PEFA flag is forced HIGH regardless of the
A0-A35 inputs.
PEFB Port-B Parity Error O When any byte applied to terminals B0-B35 fails parity, PEFB is LOW. Bytes are organized as
Flag (Port B) B0-B8, B9-B17, B18-B26, B27-B35 with the most significant bit of each byte serving as theparity bit.
The type of parity checked is determined by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. The parity trees used
to check the B0-B35 inputs are shared by the mail1 register to generate parity if parity generation is
selected by PGB. Therefore, if a mail1 read with parity generation is setup by having W/RB LOW,
MBB HIGH, and PGB HIGH, the PEFB flag is forced HIGH regardless of the state of the B0-B35
inputs.
PGA Port-A Parity I Parity is generated for data reads from port A when PGA is HIGH. Generation The type of parity
generated is selected by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. Bytes are organized as A0-A8, A9-A17,
A18-A26, and A27-A35. The generated parity bits are output in the most significant bit of each byte.
P GB Port-B Parity I Parity is generated for data reads from port B when PGB is HIGH. The type of parity generated is
selected by the state of the ODD/EVEN input. Bytes are organized as B0-B8, B9-B17, B18-B26,
and B27-B35. The generated parity bits are output in the most significant bit of each byte.
RST Reset I To reset the device, four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA and four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of
CLKB must occur while RST is LOW. This sets the AFA, AFB, MBF1, and MBF2 flags HIGH and
the EFA, EFB, AEA, AEB, FFA, and FFB flags LOW. The LOW-to-HIGH transition of RST latches
the status of the FS1 and FS0 inputs to select Almost-Full and Almost-Empty flag offset.
W/RA Port-A Write/Read I A HIGH selects a write operation and a LOW selects a read operation on port A for a LOW-to-HIGH
Select transition of CLKA. The A0-A35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when W/RA is HIGH.
W/RB Port-B Write/Read I A HIGH selects a write operation and a LOW selects a read operation on port B for a LOW-to-HIGH
Select transition of CLKB. The B0-B35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when W/RB is HIGH.

CALCULATING POWER DISSIPATION
The ICC(f) current for the graph in Figure 1 was taken while simultaneously reading and writing the FIFO on the IDT723612 with CLKA and CLKB set
to fS. All data inputs and data outputs change state during each clock cycle to consume the highest supply current. Data outputs were disconnected to normalize
the graph to a zero-capacitance load. Once the capacitance load per data-output channel is known, the power dissipation can be calculated with the equation
below.
With ICC(f) taken from Figure 1, the maximum power dissipation (PD) of the IDT723612 may be calculated by:
PD = VCC x ICC(f) + Σ(CL x VCC x (VOH - VOL) x fo)
where:
CL= output capacitance load
fo= switching frequency of an output
VOH = output HIGH level voltage
VOL = output LOW level voltage
When no reads or writes are occurring on the IDT723612, the power dissipated by a single clock (CLKA or CLKB) input running at frequency fS is
calculated by: PT = VCC x fS x 0.290 mA/MHz

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
RESET
The IDT723612 is reset by taking the Reset (RST) input LOW for at least
four port-A clock (CLKA) and four port-B Clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH
transitions. The Reset input can switch asynchronously to the clocks. A device
reset initializes the internal read and write pointers of each FIFO and forces
the Full Flags (FFA, FFB) LOW, the Empty Flags (EFA, EFB) LOW, the Almost-
Empty flags (AEA, AEB) LOW and the Almost-Full flags (AFA, AFB) HIGH. A
reset also forces the Mailbox Flags (MBF1, MBF2) HIGH. After a reset, FFA
is set HIGH after two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA and FFB is set HIGH
after two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKB. The device must be reset after
power up before data is written to its memory.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on the RST input loads the Almost-Full and
Almost-Empty registers (X) with the values selected by the Flag Select (FS0,
FS1) inputs. The values that can be loaded into the registers are shown in
Table 1.
FIFO WRITE/READ OPERATION
The state of port-A data A0-A35 outputs is controlled by the port-A Chip
Select (CSA) and the port-A Write/Read select (W/RA). The A0-A35 outputs
are in the high-impedance state when either CSA or W/RA is HIGH. The A0-
A35 outputs are active when both CSA and W/RA are LOW.
Data is loaded into FIFO1 from the A0-A35 inputs on a LOW-to-HIGH
transition of CLKA when CSA is LOW, W/RA is HIGH, ENA is HIGH, MBA
is LOW, and FFA is HIGH. Data is read from FIFO2 to the A0-A35 outputs by
a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA when CSA is LOW, W/RA is LOW, ENA is
HIGH, MBA is LOW, and EFA is HIGH (see Table 2).
The port-B control signals are identical to those of port A. The state of the
port-B data (B0-B35) outputs is controlled by the port-B Chip Select (CSB) and
the port-B Write/Read select (W/RB). The B0-B35 outputs are in the high-
impedance state when either CSB or W/RB is HIGH. The B0-B35 outputs are
active when both CSB and W/RB are LOW.
Data is loaded into FIFO2 from the B0-B35 inputs on a LOW-to-HIGH
transition of CLKB when CSB is LOW, W/RB is HIGH, ENB is HIGH, MBB is
LOW, and FFB is HIGH. Data is read from FIFO1 to the B0-B35 outputs by
a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB when CSB is LOW, W/RB is LOW, ENB is
HIGH, MBB is LOW, and EFB is HIGH (see Table 3).

The setup and hold time constraints to the port clocks for the port Chip Selects
(CSA, CSB) and Write/Read selects (W/RA, W/RB) 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 may change states during the setup and hold time window
of the cycle.
SYNCHRONIZED FIFO FLAGS
Each FIFO is synchronized to its port clock through two flip-flop stages. This
is done to improve flag reliability by reducing the probability of metastable
events on the output when CLKA and CLKB operate asynchronously to one
another. EFA, AEA, FFA, and AFA are synchronized by CLKA. EFB, AEB,
FFB, and AFB are synchronized to CLKB. Tables 4 and 5 show the relationship
of each port flag to FIFO1 and FIFO2.
EMPTY FLAGS (EFA, EFB)
The Empty Flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that reads
data from its array. When the Empty Flag is HIGH, new data can be read to
the FIFO output register. When the Empty Flag is LOW, the FIFO is empty and
attempted FIFO reads are ignored.
The read pointer of a FIFO is incremented each time a new word is
clocked to the output register. The state machine that controls an Empty Flag
monitors a write-pointer and read-pointer comparator that indicates when the
FIFO SRAM status is empty, empty+1, or empty+2. A word written to a FIFO
can be read to the FIFO output register in a minimum of three cycles of the Empty
Flag synchronizing clock. Therefore, an Empty Flag is LOW if a word in memory
is the next data to be sent to the FIFO output register and two cycles of the port
clock that reads data from the FIFO have not elapsed since the time the word
was written. The Empty Flag of the FIFO is set HIGH by the second LOW-to-
HIGH transition of the synchronizing clock, and the new data word can be read
to the FIFO output register in the following cycle.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on an Empty Flag synchronizing clock begins the
first synchronization cycle of a write if the clock transition occurs at time tSKEW1
or greater after the write. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle can be the first
synchronization cycle.
FULL FLAG (FFA, FFB)
The Full Flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes data to
its array. When the Full Flag is HIGH, a memory location is free in the SRAM
to receive new data. No memory locations are free when the Full Flag is LOW
and attempted writes to the FIFO are ignored.

NOTE:
1. X is the value in the Almost-Empty flag and Almost-Full flag offset register.
Each time a word is written to a FIFO, the write pointer is incremented. The
state machine that controls a Full Flag monitors a write-pointer and read pointer
comparator that indicates when the FIFO SRAM status is full, full-1, or full-2.
From the time a word is read from a FIFO, the previous memory location is
ready to be written in a minimum of three cycles of the Full Flag synchronizing
clock. Therefore, a Full Flag is LOW if less than two cycles of the Full Flag
synchronizing clock have elapsed since the next memory write location has
been read. The second LOW-to-HIGH transition on the Full Flag synchroni-
zation clock after the read sets the Full Flag HIGH and the data can be written
in the following clock cycle.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on a Full Flag synchronizing clock begins the
first synchronization cycle of a read if the clock transition occurs at time tSKEW1
or greater after the read. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle can be the first
synchronization cycle.
ALMOST EMPTY FLAGS (AEA, AEB)
The Almost-Empty flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that
reads data from its array. The state machine that controls an Almost-Empty flag
monitors a write-pointer comparator that indicates when the FIFO SRAM status
is almost-empty, almost-empty+1, or almost-empty+2. The almost-empty state
is defined by the value of the Almost-Full and Almost-Empty Offset register (X).
This register is loaded with one of four preset values during a device reset (see
Reset above). An Almost-Empty flag is LOW when the FIFO contains X or less
words in memory and is HIGH when the FIFO contains (X+1) or more words.
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the Almost-Empty flag synchronizing clocks
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 the synchronizing clock 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 the synchronizing clock
after the FIFO write that fills memory to the (X+1) level. A LOW-to-HIGH
transition of an Almost-Empty flag synchronizing clock begins the first synchro-
nization cycle if it occurs at time tSKEW2 or greater after the write that fills the FIFO
to (X+1) words. Otherwise, the subsequent synchronizing clock cycle can be
the first synchronization cycle (see Figure 7 and 8).
ALMOST FULL FLAGS (AFA, AFB)
The Almost-Full flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes
data to its array. The state machine that controls an Almost-Full flag monitors
a write-pointer and read-pointer comparator that indicates when the FIFO

SRAM status is almost-full, almost-full-1, or almost-full-2. The almost-full state
is defined by the value of the Almost-Full and Almost-Empty Offset register (X).
This register is loaded with one of four preset values during a device reset (see
Reset above). An Almost-Full flag is LOW when the FIFO contains (64-X) or
more words in memory and is HIGH when the FIFO contains [64-(X+1)] or
less words.
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the Almost-Full flag synchronizing clock are
required after a FIFO read for the Almost-Full flag to reflect the new level of fill.
Therefore, the Almost-Full flag of a FIFO containing [64-(X+1)] or less words
remains LOW if two cycles of the synchronizing clock have not elapsed since
the read that reduced the number of words in memory to [64-(X+1)]. An Almost-
Full flag is set HIGH by the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of the synchronizing
clock after the FIFO read that reduces the number of words in memory to [64-
(X+1)]. A second LOW-to-HIGH transition of an Almost-Full flag synchronizing
clock begins the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time tSKEW2 or greater
after the read that reduces the number of words in memory to [64-(X+1)].
Otherwise, the subsequent synchronizing clock cycle can be the first synchro-
nization cycle (see Figure 14 and 15).
MAILBOX REGISTERS
Each FIFO has a 36-bit bypass register to pass command and control
information between port A and port B without putting it in queue. The Mailbox
select (MBA, MBB) inputs choose between a mail register and a FIFO for a
port data transfer operation. A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA writes A0-
A35 data to the mail1 register when a port-A write is selected by CSA, W/RA,
and ENA and MBA HIGH. A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKB writes B0-B35
data to the mail2 register when a port-B write is selected by CSB, W/RB, and
ENB and MBB is HIGH. Writing data to a mail register sets the corresponding
flag (MBF1 or MBF2) LOW. Attempted writes to a mail register are ignored while
the mail flag is LOW.
When a port's data outputs are active, the data on the bus comes from the
FIFO output register when the port Mailbox-select input (MBA, MBB) is LOW
and from the mail register when the port mailbox-select input is HIGH. The Mail1
register Flag (MBF1) is set HIGH by a LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKB when
a port-B read is selected by CSB, W/RB, and ENB and MBB is HIGH. The Mail2
register Flag (MBF2) is set HIGH by a LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA when
port-A read is selected by CSA, W/RA, and ENA and MBA is HIGH. The data
in a mail register remains intact after it is read and changes only when new data
is written to the register.
PARITY CHECKING
The port-A inputs (A0-A35) and port-B inputs (B0-B35) each have four
parity trees to check the parity of incoming (or outgoing) data. A parity failure
on one or more bytes of the input bus is reported by a LOW level on the port
Parity Error Flag (PEFA, PEFB). Odd or even parity checking can be selected,
and the Parity Error Fags can be ignored if this feature is not desired.
Parity status is checked on each input bus according to the level of the Odd/
Even parity (ODD/EVEN) select input. A parity error on one or more bytes of
a port is reported by a LOW level on the corresponding port Parity Error Flag
(PEFA, PEFB) output. Port-A bytes are arranged as A0-A8, A9-A17, A18-
A26, and A27-A35 with the most significant bit of each byte used as the parity
bit. Port-B bytes are arranged as B0-B8, B9-B17, B18-B26, and B27-B35,
with the most significant bit of each byte used as the parity bit. When odd/even
parity is selected, a port parity error flag (PEFA, PEFB) is LOW if any byte on
the port has an odd/even number of LOW levels applied to the bits.
The four parity trees used to check the A0-A35 inputs are shared by the mail2
register when parity generation is selected for port-A reads (PGA = HIGH).
When a port-A read from the mail2 register with parity generation is selected
with W/RA LOW, CSA LOW, ENA HIGH, MBA HIGH, and PGA HIGH, the port-
A Parity Error Flag (PEFA) is held HIGH regardless of the levels applied to
the A0-A35 inputs. Likewise, the parity trees used to check the B0-B35 inputs
are shared by the mail1 register when parity generation is selected for port-
B reads (PGB = HIGH). When a port-B read from the mail1 register with parity
generation is selected with W/RB LOW, CSB LOW, ENB HIGH, MBB HIGH,
and PGB HIGH, the port-B parity error flag (PEFB) is held HIGH regardless
of the levels applied to the B0-B35 inputs.
PARITY GENERATION
A HIGH level on the port-A Parity Generate select (PGA) or port-B Parity
Generate select (PGB) enables the IDT723612 to generate parity bits for
port reads from a FIFO or mailbox register. Port-A bytes are arranged as A0-
A8, A9-A17, A18-26, and A27-A35, with the most significant bit of each byte
used as the parity bit. Port-B bytes are arranged as B0-B8, B9-B17, B18-B26,
and B27-B35, with the most significant bit of each byte used as the parity bit.
A write to a FIFO or mail register stores the levels applied to all thirty-six inputs
regardless of the state of the Parity Generate select (PGA, PGB) inputs. When
data is read from a port with parity generation selected, the lower eight bits of
each byte are used to generate a parity bit according to the level on the ODD/
EVEN select. The generated parity bits are substituted for the levels originally
written to the most significant bits of each byte as the word is read to the data
outputs.
Parity bits for FIFO data are generated after the data is read from SRAM
and before the data is written to the output register. Therefore, the port-A parity
generate select (PGA) and Odd/Even parity select (ODD/EVEN) have setup
and hold time constraints to the port-A Clock (CLKA) and the port-B Parity
Generate select (PGB) and ODD/EVEN have setup and hold-time constraints
to the port-B Clock (CLKB). These timing constraints only apply for a rising clock
edge used to read a new word to the FIFO output register.
The circuit used to generate parity for the mail1 data is shared by the port-
B bus (B0-B35) to check parity and the circuit used to generate parity for the
mail2 data is shared by the port-A bus (A0-A35) to check parity. The shared
parity trees of a port are used to generate parity bits for the data in a mail register
when the port Write/Read select (W/RA, W/RB) input is LOW, the port mail select
(MBA, MBB) input is HIGH, Chip Select (CSA, CSB) is LOW, Enable (ENA,
ENB) is HIGH, and port Parity Generate select (PGA, PGB) is HIGH.
Generating parity for mail register data does not change the contents of the
register.
