M67206F
Rev. D – June 5, 2000 1
Introduction
The M67206F implements a first-in first-out algorithm,
featuring asynchronous read/write operations. The FULL
and EMPTY flags prevent data overflow and underflow.
The Expansion logic allows unlimited expansion in word
size and depth with no timing penalties. Twin address
pointers automatically generate internal read and write
addresses, and no external address information are
required for the Atmel Wireless & Microcontrollers
FIFOs. Address pointers are automatically incremented
with the write pin and read pin. The 9 bits wide data are
used in data communications applications where a parity
bit for error checking is necessary. The Retransmit pin
reset the Read pointer to zero without affecting the write
pointer. This is very useful for retransmitting data when
an error is detected in the system.
Using an array of eight transistors (8 T) memory cell, the
M67206F combine an extremely low standby supply
current (typ = 0.1 µA) with a fast access time at 15 ns
over the full temperature range. All versions offer battery
backup data retention capability with a typical power
consumption at less than 2 µW.
The M67206F is processed according to the methods of
the latest revision of the MIL STD 883 (class B or S), ESA
SCC 9000 or QML.

Signal Description
Data In (I0 - I8)
Data inputs for 9 - bit data
Reset (RS)
Reset occurs whenever the Reset (RS) input is taken to a
low state. Reset returns both internal read and write
pointers to the first location. A reset is required after
power-up before a write operation can be enabled. Both
the Read Enable (R) and W rite Enable (W) inputs must be
in the high state during the period shown in Figure 1. (i.e.
tRSS before the rising edge of RS) and should not change
until tRSR after the rising edge of RS. The HalfFull Flag
(HF) will be reset to high After Reset (RS)
Figure 1. Reset
tWR
(tRR)
Notes : 1. EF, FF and HF may change status during reset, but flags will be valid at tRSC.
2. W and R = VIH around the rising edge of RS.
Write Enable (W)
A write cycle is initiated on the falling edge of this input
if the Full Flag (FF) is not set. Data set-up and hold times
must be maintained in the rise time of the leading edge of
the Write Enable (W). Data is stored sequentially in the
Ram array, regardless of any current read operation.
Once half the memory is filled, and during the falling
edge of the next write operation, the Half-Full Flag (HF)
will be set to low and remain in this state until the
difference between the write and read pointers is less than
or equal to half of the total available memory in the
device. The Half-Full Flag (HF) is then reset by the rising
edge of the read operation.
To prevent data overflow, the Full Flag (FF) will go low,
inhibiting further write operations. On completion of a
M67206F
Rev. D June 5, 2000

valid read operation, the Full Flag (FF) will go high after
TRFF, allowing a valid write to begin. When the FIFO
stack is full, the internal write pointer is blocked from W,
so that external changes to W will have no effect on the
full FIFO stack.
Read Enable (R)
A read cycle is initiated on the falling edge of the Read
Enable (R) provided that the Empty Flag (EF) is not set.
The data is accessed on a first in/first out basis, not with
standing any current write operations. After Read Enable
(R) goes high, the Data Outputs (Q0 - Q8) will return to
a high impedance state until the next Read operation.
When all the data in the FIFO stack has been read, the
Empty Flag (EF) will go low, allowing the final read
cycle, but inhibiting further read operations whilst the
data outputs remain in a high impedance state. Once a
valid write operation has been completed, the Empty Flag
(EF) will go high after tWEF and a valid read may then
be initiated. When the FIFO stack is empty, the internal
read pointer is blocked from R, so that external changes
to R will have no effect on the empty FIFO stack.
First Load/Retransmit (FL/RT)
This is a dual-purpose input. In the Depth Expansion
Mode, this pin is connected to ground to indicate that it
is the first loaded (see Operating Modes). In the Single
Device Mode, this pin acts as the retransmit input. The
Single Device Mode is initiated by connecting the
Expansion In (XI) to ground.
The M67206F can be made to retransmit data when the
Retransmit Enable Control (RT) input is pulsed low. A
retransmit operation will set the internal read point to the
first location and will not affect the write pointer. Read
Enable (R) and W rite Enable (W) must be in the high state
during retransmit. The retransmit feature is intended for
use when a number of writes equals to or less than the
depth of the FIFO has occured since the last RS cycle. The
retransmit feature is not compatible with the Depth
Expansion Mode and will affect the Half-Full Flag (HF),
in accordance with the relative locations of the read and
write pointers.
Expansion In (XI)
This input is a dual-purpose pin. Expansion In (XI) is
connected to GND to indicate an operation in the single
device mode. Expansion In (XI) is connected to
Expansion Out (XO) of the previous device in the Depth
Expansion or Daisy Chain modes.
Full Flag (FF)
The Full Flag (FF) will go low, inhibiting further write
operations when the write pointer is one location less than
the read pointer, indicating that the device is full. If the
read pointer is not moved after Reset (RS), the Full Flag
(FF) will go low after 16384 writes.
Empty Flag (EF)
The Empty Flag (EF) will go low, inhibiting further read
operations when the read pointer is equal to the write
pointer, indicating that the device is empty.
Expansion Out/Half-Full Flag (XO/HF)
This is a dual-purpose output. In the single device mode,
when Expansion In (XI) is connected to ground, this
output acts as an indication of a half-full memory.
After half the memory is filled and on the falling edge of
the next write operation, the Half-Full Flag (HF) will be
set to low and will remain set until the difference between
the write and read pointers is less than or equal to half of
the total memory of the device. The Half-Full Flag (HF)
is then reset by the rising edge of the read operation.
In the Depth Expansion Mode, Expansion In (XI) is
connected to Expansion Out (XO) of the previous device.
This output acts as a signal to the next device in the Daisy
Chain by providing a pulse to the next device when the
previous device reaches the last memory location.
Data Output (Q0 - Q8)
DATA output for 9-bit wide data. This data is in a high
impedance condition whenever Read (R) is in a high state.

Functional Description
Operating Modes
Single Device Mode
A single M67206F may be used when the application
requirements are for 16384 words or less. The M67206E
is in a Single Device Configuration when the Expansion In
(XI) control input is grounded (see Figure 2.). In this
mode the Half-Full Flag (HF), which is an active low
output, is shared with Expansion Out (XO).

Status flags (EF, FF and HF) can be detected from any
device. Figure 3. demonstrates an 18-bit word width by
using two M67206E. Any word width can be attained by
adding additional M67206E.

Depth Expansion (Daisy Chain) Mode
The M67206F can be easily adapted for applications
which require more than 16384 words. Figure 4.
demonstrates Depth Expansion using three M67206F.
Any depth can be achieved by adding additional 67206F.
The M67206F operates in the Depth Expansion
configuration if the following conditions are met :
1. The first device must be designated by connecting the
First Load (FL) control input to ground.
2. All other devices must have FL in the high state.
3. The Expansion Out (XO) pin of each device must be
connected to the Expansion In (XI) pin of the next
device. See Figure 4.
4. External logic is needed to generate a composite Full
Flag (FF) and Empty Flag (EF). This requires that all
EFs and all FFs be ØRed (i.e. all must be set to
generate the correct composite FF or EF). See
Figure 4.
5. The Retransmit (RT) function and Half-Full Flag (HF)
are not available in the Depth Expansion Mode.
Compound Expansion Module
It is quite simple to apply the two expansion techniques
described above together to create large FIFO arrays (see
Figure 5.).
Bidirectional Mode
Applications which require data buffering between two
systems (each system being capable of Read and Write
operations) can be created by coupling M67206E as
shown in Figure 6. Care must be taken to ensure that the
appropriate flag is monitored by each system (i.e. FF is
monitored on the device on which W is in use ; EF is
monitored on the device on which R is in use). Both Depth
Expansion and Width Expansion may be used in this
mode.

Data Flow – Through Modes
Two types of flow-through modes are permitted : a read
flow-through and a write flow-through mode. In the read
flow-through mode (Figure 17.) the FIFO stack allows a
single word to be read after one word has been written to
an empty FIFO stack. The data is enabled on the bus at
(tWEF + tA) ns after the leading edge of W which is
known as the first write edge and remains on the bus until
the R line is raised from low to high, after which the bus
will go into a three-state mode after tRHZ ns. The EF line
will show a pulse indicating temporary reset and then will
be set. In the interval in which R is low, more words may
be written to the FIFO stack (the subsequent writes after
the first write edge will reset the Empty Flag) ; however,
the same word (written on the first write edge) presented
to the output bus as the read pointer will not be
incremented if R is low. On toggling R, the remaining
words written to the FIFO will appear on the output bus
in accordance with the read cycle timings.
In the write flow-through mode (Figure 18.), the FIFO
stack allows a single word of data to be written
immediately after a single word of data has been read
from a full FIFO stack. The R line causes the FF to be
reset, but the W line, being low, causes it to be set again
in anticipation of a new data word. The new word is
loaded into the FIFO stack on the leading edge of W. The
W line must be toggled when FF is not set in order to write
new data into the FIFO stack and to increment the write
pointer.
