data from Port A to Port B. FIFO data on Port B can output in 36-bit, 18-bit, or
9-bit formats with a choice of Big- or Little-Endian configurations.
These devices are synchronous (clocked) FIFOs, meaning 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

COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE
IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103 3.3V CMOS SyncFIFOTM WITH
BUS-MATCHING 16,384 x 36, 32,768 x 36 and 65,536 x 36
coincident. The enables for each port are arranged to provide a simple
bidirectional interface between microprocessors and/or buses with synchro-
nous control.
Communication between each port may bypass the FIFO via two mailbox
registers. The mailbox registers' width matches the selected Port B bus width.
Each mailbox register has a flag (MBF1 and MBF2) to signal when new mail
has been stored.
Two kinds of reset are available on these FIFOs: Reset and Partial Reset.
Reset initializes the read and write pointers to the first location of the memory array
and selects serial flag programming, parallel flag programming, or one of five
possible default flag offset settings, 8, 16, 64, 256 or 1,024.
Partial Reset also sets the read and write pointers to the first location of the
memory. Unlike Reset, any settings existing prior to Partial Reset (i.e.,
programming method and partial flag default offsets) are retained. Partial Reset
is useful since it permits flushing of the FIFO memory without changing any
configuration settings.
The FIFO has Retransmit capability, a Retransmit is performed after four clock
cycles of CLKA and CLKB, by taking the Retransmit pin, RT LOW while the
Retransmit Mode pin, RTM is HIGH. When a Retransmit is performed the read
pointer is reset to the first memory location.
These devices have two modes of operation: In the IDT Standard mode, the
first word written to an empty FIFO is deposited into the memory array. A read
operation is required to access that word (along with all other words residing
in memory). In the First Word Fall Through mode (FWFT), the first word written
to an empty FIFO appears automatically on the outputs, no read operation
required (Nevertheless, accessing subsequent words does necessitate a
formal read request). The state of the BE/FWFT pin during Reset determines
the mode in use.
The FIFO has a combined Empty/Output Ready Flag (EF/OR ) and a
combined Full/Input Ready Flag (FF/IR). The EF and FF functions are selected
in the IDT Standard mode. EF indicates whether or not the FIFO memory is
empty. FF shows whether the memory is full or not. The IR and OR functions
are selected in the First Word Fall Through mode. IR indicates whether or not
the FIFO has available memory locations. OR shows whether the FIFO has
data available for reading or not. It marks the presence of valid data on the
outputs.
The FIFO has a programmable Almost-Empty flag (AE) and a programmable
Almost-Full flag (AF). AE indicates when a selected number of words remain
in the FIFO memory. AF indicates when the FIFO contains more than a selected
number of words.
FF/IR and AF are two-stage synchronized to the port clock that writes data
into its array. EF/OR and AE are two-stage synchronized to the port clock that
reads data from its array. Programmable offsets for AE and AF are loaded in
parallel using Port A or in serial via the SD input. Five default offset settings are
also provided. The AE threshold can be set at 8, 16, 64, 256 or 1,024 locations
from the empty boundary and the AF threshold can be set at 8, 16, 64, 256 or
1,024 locations from the full boundary. All these choices are made using the
FS0, FS1 and FS2 inputs during Reset.
Interspersed Parity is available and can be selected during a Master Reset
of the FIFO. If Interspersed Parity is selected then during parallel programming
of the flag offset values, the device will ignore data line A8. If Non-Interspersed
Parity is selected then data line A8 will become a valid bit.
Two or more devices may be used in parallel to create wider data paths. In
First Word Fall Through mode, more than one device may be connected in
series to create greater word depths. The addition of external components is
unnecessary.
If, at any time, the FIFO is not actively performing a function, the chip will
automatically power down. During the power down state, supply current
consumption (ICC) is at a minimum. Initiating any operation (by activating control
inputs) will immediately take the device out of the Power Down state.
The IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103 are characterized for operation from
0°C to 70°C. Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) is available by
special order. They are fabricated using IDT’s high speed, submicron CMOS
technology.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Symbol Name I/O Description
A0-A35 Port A Data I/O 36-bit bidirectional data port for side A.
AE Almost-Empty Flag O Programmable Almost-Empty flag synchronized to CLKB. It is LOW when the number of words in
(Port B) the FIFO is less than or equal to the value in the Almost-Empty B offset register, X.
AF Almost-Full Flag O Programmable Almost-Full flag synchronized to CLKA. It is LOW when the number of empty
(Port A) locations in the FIFO is less than or equal to the value in the Almost-Full A offset register, Y.
B0-B35 Port B Data I/O 36-bit bidirectional data port for side B.
BE/FWFT Big-Endian/ I This is a dual purpose pin. During Master Reset, a HIGH on BE will select Big-Endian operation.
First Word In this case, depending on the bus size, the most significant byte or word written to Port A is read
Fall Through from Port B first. A LOW on BE will select Little-Endian operation. In this case, the least significant
byte or word written to Port A is read from Port B first. After Master Reset, this pin selects the timing
mode. A HIGH on FWFT selects IDT Standard mode, a LOW selects First Word Fall Through
mode. Once the timing mode has been selected, the level on FWFT must be static throughout
device operation.
BM(1) Bus-Match Select I A HIGH on this pin enables either byte or word bus width on Port B, depending on the state of
(Port B) SIZE. A LOW selects long word operation. BM works with SIZE and BE to select the bus size and
endian arrangement for Port B. The level of BM must be static throughout device operation.
CLKA Port A Clock I CLKA is a continuous clock that synchronizes all data transfers through Port A and can be
asynchronous or coincident to CLKB. FF/IR and AF are synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of CLKA.
CLKB Port B Clock I CLKB is a continuous clock that synchronizes all data transfers through Port B and can be
asynchronous or coincident to CLKA. EF/OR and AE are synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of CLKB.
CSA Port A Chip I CSA must be LOW to enable to LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA to read or write on Port A. The
Select A0-A35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when CSA is HIGH.
CSB Port B Chip I CSB must be LOW to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB to read or write data on Port B.
Select The B0-B35 outputs are in the high-impedance state when CSB is HIGH.
EF/OR Empty/Output O This is a dual function pin. In the IDT Standard mode, the EF function is selected. EF indicates
Ready Flag whether or not the FIFO memory is empty. In the FWFT mode, the OR function is selected. OR indicates
(Port B) the presence of valid data on the B0-B35 outputs, available for reading. EF/OR is synchronized to the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB.
ENA Port A Enable I ENA must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA to read or write data on Port A.
ENB Port B Enable I ENB must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB to read or write data on Port B.
FF/IR Full/Input O This is a dual function pin. In the IDT Standard mode, the FF function is selected. FF indicates
Ready Flag whether or not the FIFO memory is full. In the FWFT mode, the IR function is selected. IR
(Port A) indicates whether or not there is space available for writing to the FIFO memory. FF/IR is
synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA.
FS0/SD Flag Offset Select 0/ I FS1/SEN and FS0/SD are dual-purpose inputs used for flag offset register programming. During
Serial Data, Reset, FS1/SEN and FS0/SD, together with FS2 select the flag offset programming method.
Three offset register programming methods are available: automatically load one of five preset
values (8, 16, 64, 256 or 1,024), parallel load from Port A, and serial load.
FS1/SEN Flag Offset Select 1/ I
Serial Enable When serial load is selected for flag offset register programming, FS1/SEN is used as an enable
synchronous to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. When FS1/SEN is LOW, a rising edge on
FS2(1) Flag Offset Select 2 I CLKA load the bit present on FS0/SD into the X and Y registers. The number of bit writes required
to program the offset registers is 28 for the 72V3683, 30 for the 72V3693, and 32 for the 72V36103.
The first bit write stores the Y-register MSB and the last bit write stores the X-register LSB.
MB A Port A Mailbox I A HIGH level on MBA chooses a mailbox register for a Port A read or write operation.
Select
MB B Port B Mailbox I A HIGH level on MBB chooses a mailbox register for a Port B read or write operation. When the
Select B0-B35 outputs are active, a HIGH level on MBB selects data from the mail1 register for output and
a LOW level selects FIFO data for output.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS (CONTINUED)
MBF1 Mail1 Register Flag O MBF1 is set LOW by a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA that writes data to the mail1 register.
Writes to the mail1 register are inhibited while MBF1 is LOW. MBF1 is set HIGH by a LOW-to-
HIGH transition of CLKB when a Port B read is selected and MBB is HIGH. MBF1 is set HIGH
following either a Reset (RS1) or Partial Reset (PRS).
MBF2 Mail2 Register Flag O MBF2 is set LOW by a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB that writes data to the mail2 register.
Writes to the mail2 register are inhibited while MBF2 is LOW. MBF2 is set HIGH by a LOW-to-
HIGH transition of CLKA when a Port A read is selected and MBA is HIGH. MBF2 is set HIGH
following either a Reset (RS2) or Partial Reset (PRS).
RS1, RS2 Resets I
A LOW on both pins initializes the FIFO read and write pointers to the first locationof memory and
sets the Port B output register to all zeroes. A LOW-to-HIGH transition
on RS1 selects the programming
method (serial or parallel) and one of five programmable flag default offsets. It also configures Port
B for bus size and endian arrangement. Four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA and four LOW-to-
HIGH transitions of CLKB must occur while RS1 is LOW.
PRS/ Partial Reset/ I This pin muxed for both Partial Reset and Retransmit operations, it is used in conjunction with the RTM
RT Retransmit pin. If RTM is LOW, then a LOW on this pin initializes the FIFO read and write pointers to the first location
of memory and sets the Port B output register to all zeroes. During Partial Reset, the currently
selected bus size, endian arrangement, programming method (serial or parallel), and programmable
flag settings are all retained. If RTM is HIGH, then a LOW on this pin performs a Retransmit and initializes
the read pointer only, to the first memory location.
RTM Retransmit Mode I This pin is used in conjunction with the RT pin. When RTM is HIGH a Retransmit is performed when
RT is taken HIGH.
SIZE(1) Bus Size Select I A HIGH on this pin when BM is HIGH selects byte bus (9-bit) size on Port B. A LOW on this pin
(Port B) when BM is HIGH selects word (18-bit) bus size. SIZE works with BM and BE to select the bus size
and endian arrangement for Port B. The level of SIZE must be static throughout device operation.
W/RA Port A Write/ I A HIGH selects a write operation and a LOW selects a read operation on Port A for a LOW-to-HIGH
Read Select transition of CLKA. The A0-A35 outputs are in the HIGHimpedance state when W/RA is HIGH.
W/RB Port B Write/ I A LOW selects a write operation and a HIGH selects a read operation on Port B for a LOW-to-HIGH
Read Select transition of CLKB. The B0-B35 outputs are in the HIGH impedance state when W/RB is LOW.
NOTE:
1. FS2, BM and SIZE inputs are not TTL compatible. These inputs should be tied to GND or VCC.

DETERMINING ACTIVE CURRENT CONSUMPTION AND POWER DISSIPATION
The ICC(f) current for the graph in Figure 1 was taken while simultaneously reading and writing a FIFO on the IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103 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 and the number of IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103
inputs driven by TTL HIGH levels are known, the power dissipation can be calculated with the equation below.
CALCULATING POWER DISSIPATION
With ICC(f) taken from Figure 1, the maximum power dissipation (PT) of these FIFOs may be calculated by:
PT = VCC x ICC(f) + Σ(CL x VCC2 x fo)
N
where:
N = number of used outputs (36-bit (long word), 18-bit (word) or 9-bit (byte) bus size)
CL= output capacitance load
fo= switching frequency of an output

BIG-ENDIAN/FIRST WORD FALL THROUGH (BE/FWFT)
— ENDIAN SELECTION
This is a dual purpose pin. At the time of Reset, the BE select function is active,
permitting a choice of Big- or Little-Endian byte arrangement for data read from
Port B. This selection determines the order by which bytes (or words) of data
are transferred through this port. For the following illustrations, assume that a
byte (or word) bus size has been selected for Port B. (Note that when Port B
is configured for a long word size, the Big-Endian function has no application
and the BE input is a “don’t care”1.)
A HIGH on the BE/FWFT input when the Reset (RS1) input goes from LOW
to HIGH will select a Big-Endian arrangement. In this case, the most significant
byte (word) of the long word written to Port A will be read from Port B first; the
least significant byte (word) of the long word written to Port A will be read from
Port B last.
A LOW on the BE/FWFT input when the Reset (RS1) input goes from LOW
to HIGH will select a Little-Endian arrangement. In this case, the least significant
byte (word) of the long word written to Port A will be read from Port B first; the
most significant byte (word) of the long word written to Port A will be read from
Port B last. Refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of the BE function. See Figure
3 (Reset) for an Endian select timing diagram.
— TIMING MODE SELECTION
After Reset, the FWFT select function is active, permitting a choice between
two possible timing modes: IDT Standard mode or First Word Fall Through
(FWFT) mode. Once the Reset (RS1) input is HIGH, a HIGH on the BE/FWFT
input during the next LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA and CLKB will select
IDT Standard mode. This mode uses the Empty Flag function (EF) to indicate
whether or not there are any words present in the FIFO memory. It uses the
Full Flag function (FF) to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free
space for writing. In IDT Standard mode, every word read from the FIFO,
including the first, must be requested using a formal read operation.
Once the Reset (RS1) input is HIGH, a LOW on the BE/FWFT input during
the next LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA and CLKB will select FWFT mode.
This mode uses the Output Ready function (OR) to indicate whether or not there
is valid data at the data outputs (B0-B35). It also uses the Input Ready function
(IR) to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space for writing.
In the FWFT mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO goes directly to data
outputs, no read request necessary. Subsequent words must be accessed by
performing a formal read operation.
Following Reset, the level applied to the BE/FWFT input to choose the
desired timing mode must remain static throughout FIFO operation. Refer to
Figure 3 (Reset) for a First Word Fall Through select timing diagram.
PROGRAMMING THE ALMOST-EMPTY AND ALMOST-FULL FLAGS
Two registers in the IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103 are used to hold the
offset values for the Almost-Empty and Almost-Full flags. The Almost-Empty flag
(AE) Offset register is labeled X and Almost-Full flag (AF) Offset register is labeled
Y. The offset registers can be loaded with preset values during the reset of the
FIFO, programmed in parallel using the FIFO’s Port A data inputs, or
programmed in serial using the Serial Data (SD) input (see Table 1). FS2 FS0/
SD, and FS1/SEN function the same way in both IDT Standard and FWFT
modes.
SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
RESET (RS1, RS2)
After power up, a Reset operation must be performed by providing a LOW
pulse to RS1 and RS2 simultaneously. Afterwards, the FIFO memory of the
IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103 undergoes a complete reset by taking its
Reset (RS1 and RS2) input LOW for at least four Port A clock (CLKA) and four
Port B clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The Reset inputs can switch
asynchronously to the clocks. A Reset initializes the internal read and write
pointers and forces the Full/Input Ready flag (FF/IR) LOW, the Empty/Output
Ready flag (EF/OR) LOW, the Almost-Empty flag (AE) LOW, and the Almost-
Full flag (AF) HIGH. A Reset (RS1) also forces the Mailbox flag (MBF1) of the
parallel mailbox register HIGH, and at the same time the RS2 and MBF2 operate
likewise. After a Reset, the FIFO’s Full/Input Ready flag is set HIGH after two
write clock cycles to begin normal operation.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on the FlFO Reset (RS1) input latches the value
of the Big-Endian (BE) input for determining the order by which bytes are
transferred through Port B.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on the FlFO Reset (RS1) input also latches the
values of the Flag Select (FS0, FS1 and FS2) inputs for choosing the Almost-
Full and Almost-Empty offset programming method ( for details see Table 1, Flag
Programming, and Almost-Empty and Almost-Full flag offset programming
section). The relevant Reset timing diagram can be found in Figure 3.
PARTIAL RESET (PRS)
The FIFO memory of the IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103 undergoes a
limited reset by taking its Partial Reset (PRS) input LOW for at least four Port A
clock (CLKA) and four Port B clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The RTM
pin must be LOW during the time of Partial Reset. The Partial Reset input can
switch asynchronously to the clocks. A Partial Reset initializes the internal read
and write pointers and forces the Full/Input Ready flag (FF/IR) LOW, the Empty/
Output Ready flag (EF/OR) LOW, the Almost-Empty flag (AE) LOW, and the
Almost-Full flag (AF) HIGH. A Partial Reset also forces the Mailbox flag (MBF1,
MBF2) of the parallel mailbox register HIGH. After a Partial Reset, the FIFO’s
Full/Input Ready flag is set HIGH after two Write Clock cycles to begin normal
operation. See Figure 4, Partial Reset (IDT Standard and FWFT Modes) for
the relevant timing diagram.
Whatever flag offsets, programming method (parallel or serial), and timing
mode (FWFT or IDT Standard mode) are currently selected at the time a Partial
Reset is initiated, those settings will be remain unchanged upon completion of
the reset operation. A Partial Reset may be useful in the case where
reprogramming a FIFO following a Reset would be inconvenient.
RETRANSMIT (RT)
The FIFO memory of these devices undergoes a Retransmit by taking its
associated Retransmit (RT) input LOW for at least four Port A Clock (CLKA) and
four Port B Clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The Retransmit initializes
the read pointer of FIFO to the first memory location.
The RTM pin must be HIGH during the time of Retransmit. Note that the RT
input is muxed with the PRS input, the state of the RTM pin determining whether
this pin performs a Retransmit or a Partial Reset. See Figure 19 for Retransmit
(Standard IDT mode) and figure 20 for Retransmit (FWFT mode) timing
diagrams.
NOTE:
1. Either a HIGH or LOW can be applied to a “don’t care” input with no change to the logical operation of the FIFO. Nevertheless, inputs that are temporarily “don’t care” (along with unused
inputs) must not be left open, rather they must be either HIGH or LOW.

NOTE:
1. X register holds the offset for AE; Y register holds the offset for AF.
2. When this method of parallel programming is selected, Port A will assume Non-Interspersed Parity.
3. When IP Mode is selected, only parallel programming of the offset values via Port A, can be performed and Port A will assume Interspersed Parity.
4. IF parallel programming is selected during a Master Reset, then FS0 & FS1 must remain LOW during FIFO operation.
— PRESET VALUES
To load a FIFO’s Almost-Empty flag and Almost-Full flag Offset registers with
one of the five preset values listed in Table 1, the flag select inputs must be HIGH
or LOW during a reset. For example, to load the preset value of 64 into X and
Y, FS0, FS1 and FS2 must be HIGH when RS1 returns HIGH. For the relevant
preset value loading timing diagram, see Figure 3.
— PARALLEL LOAD FROM PORT A
To program the X and Y registers from Port A, perform a Reset with FS2 HIGH
or LOW and FS0 and FS1 LOW during the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RS1.
The state of FS2 at this point of reset will determine whether the parallel
programming method has Interspersed Parity or Non-Interspersed Parity.
Refer to Table 1 for Flag Programming Flag Offset setup. It is important to note
that once parallel programming has been selected during a Master Reset by
holding both FS0 & FS1 LOW, these inputs must remain LOW during all
subsequent FIFO operation. They can only be toggled HIGH when future
Master Resets are performed and other programming methods are desired.
After this reset is complete, the first two writes to the FIFO do not store data
in RAM. The first two write cycles load the offset registers in the order Y, X. On
the third write cycle the FIFO is ready to be loaded with a data word. See Figure
5, Parallel Programming of the Almost-Full Flag and Almost-Empty Flag
Offset Values after Reset (IDT Standard and FWFT modes), for a detailed
timing diagram. For Non-Interspersed Parity mode the Port A data inputs used
by the Offset registers are (A13-A0), (A14-A0), or (A15-A0) for the IDT72V3683,
IDT72V3693, or IDT72V36103, respectively. For Interspersed Parity mode
the Port A data inputs used by the Offset registers are (A14-A9, A7-A0), (A15-
A9, A7-A0), or (A16-A9, A7-A0) for the IDT72V3683, IDT72V3693, or
IDT72V36103, respectively. The highest numbered input is used as the most
significant bit of the binary number in each case. Valid programming values for
the registers range from 1 to 16,380 for the IDT72V3683; 1 to 32,764 for the
IDT72V3693; and 1 to 65,532 for the IDT72V36103. After all the offset registers
are programmed from Port A, the FIFO begins normal operation.
INTERSPERSED PARITY
Interspersed Parity is selected during a Master Reset of the FIFO. Refer
to Table 1 for the set-up configuration of Interspersed Parity. The Interspersed
Parity function allows the user to select the location of the parity bits in the word
loaded into the parallel port (A0-An) during programming of the flag offset
values. If Interspersed Parity is selected then during parallel programming of
the flag offset values, the device will ignore data line A8. If Non-Interspersed
Parity is selected then data line A8 will become a valid bit. If Interspersed Parity
is selected serial programming of the offset values is not permitted, only parallel
programming can be done.
— SERIAL LOAD
To program the X and Y registers serially, initiate a Reset with FS2 LOW, FS0/
SD LOW and FS1/SEN HIGH during the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RS1. After
this reset is complete, the X and Y register values are loaded bit-wise through
the FS0/SD input on each LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA that the FS1/SEN
input is LOW. There are 28-, 30- or 32-bit writes needed to complete the
programming for the IDT72V3683, IDT72V3693 or the IDT72V36103, respec-
tively. The two registers are written in the order Y, X. Each register value can
be programmed from 1 to 16,380 (IDT72V3683), 1 to 32,764 (IDT72V3693)
or 1 to 65,532 (IDT72V36103).
When the option to program the offset registers serially is chosen, the Full/
Input Ready (FF/IR) flag remains LOW until all register bits are written. FF/IR
is set HIGH by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA after the last bit is loaded
to allow normal FIFO operation.
See Figure 6, Serial Programming of the Almost-Full Flag and Almost-
Empty Flag Offset Values after Reset (IDT Standard and FWFT Modes).
FIFO WRITE/READ OPERATION
The state of the Port A data (A0-A35) lines is controlled by Port A Chip Select
(CSA) and Port A Write/Read select (W/RA). The A0-A35 lines are in the High-
impedance state when either CSA or W/RA is HIGH. The A0-A35 lines are
active outputs when both CSA and W/RA are LOW.
Data is loaded into the FIFO 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 FF/IR is HIGH (see Table 2). FIFO writes on Port A are independent
of any concurrent reads on Port B.
The Port B control signals are identical to those of Port A with the exception
that the Port B Write/Read select (W/RB) is the inverse of the Port A Write/Read
select (W/RA). The state of the Port B data (B0-B35) lines is controlled by the
Port B Chip Select (CSB) and Port B Write/Read select (W/RB). The B0-B35
lines are in the high-impedance state when either CSB is HIGH or W/RB is LOW.
The B0-B35 lines are active outputs when CSB is LOW and W/RB is HIGH.
Data is read from the FIFO to the B0-B35 outputs by a LOW-to-HIGH transition
of CLKB when CSB is LOW, W/RB is HIGH, ENB is HIGH, MBB is LOW, and

EF/OR is HIGH (see Table 3). FIFO reads on Port B are independent of any
concurrent writes on Port A.
The setup and hold time constraints to the port clocks for the port Chip Selects
and Write/Read selects 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’s Chip Select and Write/Read select may
change states during the setup and hold time window of the cycle.
When operating the FIFO in FWFT mode and the Output Ready flag is LOW,
the next word written is automatically sent to the FIFO’s output register by the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the port clock that sets the Output Ready flag HIGH.
When the Output Ready flag is HIGH, data residing in the FIFO’s memory array
is clocked to the output register only when a read is selected using the port’s
Chip Select, Write/Read select, Enable, and Mailbox select.
When operating the FIFO in IDT Standard mode, regardless of whether
the Empty Flag is LOW or HIGH, data residing in the FIFO’s memory array is
clocked to the output register only when a read is selected using the port’s
Chip Select, Write/Read select, Enable, and Mailbox select. Port A Write
timing diagram can be found in Figure 7. Relevant Port B Read timing
diagrams together with Bus-Matching and Endian select can be found in

NOTES:
1. When a word loaded to an empty FIFO is shifted to the output register, its previous FIFO memory location is free.
2. Data in the output register does not count as a "word in FIFO memory". Since in FWFT mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO goes unrequested to the output register (no
read operation necessary), it is not included in the memory count.
3. X is the Almost-Empty offset used by AE. Y is the Almost-Full offset used by AF. Both X and Y are selected during a FIFO reset or Port A programming.

SYNCHRONIZED FIFO FLAGS
Each FIFO is synchronized to its port clock through at least two flip-flop stages.
This is done to improve flag-signal reliability by reducing the probability of
metastable events when CLKA and CLKB operate asynchronously to one
another. FF/IR, and AF are synchronized to CLKA. EF/OR and AE are
synchronized to CLKB. Table 4 shows the relationship of each port flag to the
number of words stored in memory.
EMPTY/OUTPUT READY FLAGS (EF/OR)
These are dual purpose flags. In the FWFT mode, the Output Ready (OR)
function is selected. When the Output-Ready flag is HIGH, new data is present
in the FIFO output register. When the Output Ready flag is LOW, the previous
data word is present in the FIFO output register and attempted FIFO reads are
ignored.
In the IDT Standard mode, the Empty Flag (EF) function is selected. When
the Empty Flag is HIGH, data is available in the FIFO’s memory for reading to
the output register. When the Empty Flag is LOW, the previous data word is
present in the FIFO output register and attempted FIFO reads are ignored.
The Empty/Output Ready flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that
reads data from its array (CLKB). For both the FWFT and IDT Standard modes,
the FIFO read pointer is incremented each time a new word is clocked to its output
register. The state machine that controls an Output Ready flag monitors a write
pointer and read pointer comparator that indicates when the FIFO memory status
is empty, empty+1, or empty+2.
In FWFT mode, from the time a word is written to a FIFO, it can be shifted to
the FIFO output register in a minimum of three cycles of the Output Ready flag
synchronizing clock. Therefore, an Output Ready flag is LOW if a word in
memory is the next data to be sent to the FlFO output register and three cycles
of the port Clock that reads data from the FIFO have not elapsed since the time
the word was written. The Output Ready flag of the FIFO remains LOW until the
third LOW-to-HIGH transition of the synchronizing clock occurs, simultaneously
forcing the Output Ready flag HIGH and shifting the word to the FIFO output
register.
In IDT Standard mode, from the time a word is written to a FIFO, the Empty
Flag will indicate the presence of data available for reading in a minimum of two
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 FlFO 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 remains LOW until
the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of the synchronizing clock occurs, forcing
the Empty Flag HIGH; only then can data be read.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on an Empty/Output Ready 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 (see Figures 11 and 12).
FULL/INPUT READY FLAGS (FF/IR)
This is a dual purpose flag. In FWFT mode, the Input Ready (IR) function
is selected. In IDT Standard mode, the Full Flag (FF) function is selected. For
both timing modes, when the Full/Input Ready flag is HIGH, a memory location
is free in the FIFO to receive new data. No memory locations are free when
the Full/Input Ready flag is LOW and attempted writes to the FIFO are ignored.
The Full/Input Ready flag of a FlFO is synchronized to the port clock that writes
data to its array (CLKA). For both FWFT and IDT Standard modes, each time
a word is written to a FIFO, its write pointer is incremented. The state machine
that controls a Full/Input Ready flag monitors a write pointer and read pointer
comparator that indicates when the FlFO memory status is full, full-1, or full-2.
From the time a word is read from a FIFO, its previous memory location is ready
to be written to in a minimum of two cycles of the Full/Input Ready flag
synchronizing clock. Therefore, an Full/Input Ready flag is LOW if less than
two cycles of the Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing clock have elapsed since
the next memory write location has been read. The second LOW-to-HIGH
transition on the Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing clock after the read sets
the Full/Input Ready flag HIGH.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on a Full/Input Ready 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 (see Figures 13 and 14).
ALMOST-EMPTY FLAG (AE)
The Almost-Empty flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port clock that reads
data from its array (CLKB). The state machine that controls an Almost-Empty
flag monitors a write pointer and read pointer comparator that indicates when
the FIFO memory status is almost-empty, almost-empty+1, or almost-empty+2.
The Almost-Empty state is defined by the contents of register X. These registers
are loaded with preset values during a FIFO reset, programmed from Port A,
or programmed serially (see Almost-Empty flag and Almost-Full flag offset
programming section). An Almost-Empty flag is LOW when its FIFO contains
X or less words and is HIGH when its FIFO contains (X+1) or more words. Note
that a data word present in the FIFO output register has been read from memory.
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the Almost-Empty flag synchronizing clock
are required after a FIFO write for its 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 its 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 its 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 may be
the first synchronization cycle. (See Figure 15).
ALMOST-FULL FLAG (AF)
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
memory status is almost-full, almost-full-1, or almost-full-2. The Almost-Full state
is defined by the contents of register Y. These registers are loaded with preset
values during a FlFO reset or, programmed from Port A, or programmed
serially (see Almost-Empty flag and Almost-Full flag offset programming
section). An Almost-Full flag is LOW when the number of words in its FIFO is
greater than or equal to (16,384-Y), (32,768-Y), or (65,536-Y) for the
IDT72V3683, IDT72V3693, or IDT72V36103 respectively. An Almost-Full
flag is HIGH when the number of words in its FIFO is less than or equal to
[16,384-(Y+1)], [32,768-(Y+1)], or [65,536-(Y+1)] for the IDT72V3683,
IDT72V3693, or IDT72V36103 respectively. Note that a data word present
in the FIFO output register has been read from memory.
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the Almost-Full flag synchronizing clock are
required after a FIFO read for its Almost-Full flag to reflect the new level of fill.
Therefore, the Almost-Full flag of a FIFO containing [16,384/32,768/65,536-
(Y+1)] or less words remains LOW if two cycles of its synchronizing clock have
not elapsed since the read that reduced the number of words in memory to
[16,384/32,768/65,536-(Y+1)]. An Almost-Full flag is set HIGH by the second
LOW-to-HIGH transition of its synchronizing clock after the FIFO read that
reduces the number of words in memory to [16,384/32,768/65,536-(Y+1)]. A
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 [16,384/32,768/65,536-(Y+1)].
Otherwise, the subsequent synchronizing clock cycle may be the first synchro-
nization cycle (see Figure 16).
MAILBOX REGISTERS
Two 36-bit bypass registers are on the IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103
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. The usable width
of both the Mail1 and Mail2 Registers matches the selected bus size for Port B.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA writes data to the Mail1 Register when
a Port A write is selected by CSA, W/RA, and ENA with MBA HIGH. If the
selected Port B bus size is 36 bits, the usable width of the Mail1 Register employs
data lines A0-A35. If the selected Port B bus size is 18 bits, then the usable width
of the Mail1 Register employs data lines A0-A17. (In this case, A18-A35 are
don’t care inputs.) If the selected Port B bus size is 9 bits, then the usable width
of the Mail1 Register employs data lines A0-A8. (In this case, A9-A35 are don’t
care inputs.)
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 with MBB HIGH. If
the selected Port B bus size is 36 bits, the usable width of the Mail2 employs
data lines B0-B35. If the selected Port B bus size is 18 bits, then the usable width
of the Mail2 Register employs data lines B0-B17. (In this case, B18-B35 are
don’t care inputs.) If the selected Port B bus size is 9 bits, then the usable width
of the Mail2 Register employs data lines B0-B8. (In this case, B9-B35 are don’t
care inputs.)
Writing data to a mail register sets its corresponding flag (MBF1 or MBF2)
LOW. Attempted writes to a mail register are ignored while the mail flag is LOW.
When data outputs of a port are active, the data on the bus comes from the
FIFO output register when the port Mailbox select input 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 with MBB
HIGH. For a 36-bit bus size, 36 bits of mailbox data are placed on B0-B35.
For an 18-bit bus size, 18 bits of mailbox data are placed on B0-B17. (In this
case, B18-B35 are indeterminate.) For a 9-bit bus size, 9 bits of mailbox data
are placed on B0-B8. (In this case, B9-B35 are indeterminate.)
The Mail2 Register Flag (MBF2) is set HIGH by a LOW-to-HIGH transition
on CLKA when a Port A read is selected by CSA, W/RA, and ENA with MBA
HIGH.
For a 36-bit bus size, 36 bits of mailbox data are placed on A0-A35. For
an 18-bit bus size, 18 bits of mailbox data are placed on A0-A17. (In this case,
A18-A35 are indeterminate.) For a 9-bit bus size, 9 bits of mailbox data are
placed on A0-A8. (In this case, A9-A35 are indeterminate.)
The data in a mail register remains intact after it is read and changes only when
new data is written to the register. The Endian select feature has no effect on
mailbox data. For mail register and mail register flag timing diagrams, see Figure
17 and 18.
BUS SIZING
The Port B bus can be configured in a 36-bit long word, 18-bit word, or 9-
bit byte format for data read from the FIFO. The levels applied to the Port B Bus
Size select (SIZE) and the Bus-Match select (BM) determine the Port B bus size.
These levels should be static throughout FIFO operation. Both bus size
selections are implemented at the completion of Reset, by the time the Full/Input
Ready flag is set HIGH, as shown in Figure 2.
Two different methods for sequencing data transfer are available for Port B
when the bus size selection is either byte-or word-size. They are referred to
as Big-Endian (most significant byte first) and Little-Endian (least significant byte
first). The level applied to the Big-Endian select (BE) input during the LOW-to-
HIGH transition of RS1 selects the endian method that will be active during FIFO
operation. BE is a don’t care input when the bus size selected for Port B is long
word. The endian method is implemented at the completion of Reset, by the time
the Full/Input Ready flag is set HIGH, as shown in Figure 2.
Only 36-bit long word data is written to or read from the FIFO memory on the
IDT72V3683/72V3693/72V36103. Bus-matching operations are done after
data is read from the FIFO RAM. These bus-matching operations are not
available when transferring data via mailbox registers. Furthermore, both the
word- and byte-size bus selections limit the width of the data bus that can be used
for mail register operations. In this case, only those byte lanes belonging to the
selected word- or byte-size bus can carry mailbox data. The remaining data
outputs will be indeterminate. The remaining data inputs will be don’t care inputs.
For example, when a word-size bus is selected, then mailbox data can be
transmitted only between A0-A17 and B0-B17. When a byte-size bus is
selected, then mailbox data can be transmitted only between A0-A8 and B0-
B8. (See Figures 17 and 18).
BUS-MATCHING FIFO READS
Data is read from the FIFO RAM in 36-bit long word increments. If a long
word bus size is implemented, the entire long word immediately shifts to the FIFO
output register. If byte or word size is implemented on Port B, only the first one
or two bytes appear on the selected portion of the FIFO output register, with the
rest of the long word stored in auxiliary registers. In this case, subsequent FIFO
reads output the rest of the long word to the FIFO output register in the order
shown by Figure 2.
When reading data from FIFO in byte or word format, the unused B0-B35
outputs are indeterminate.

Flag (IDT Standard and FWFT Modes)
NOTE:
1. If Port B is configured for word size, data can be written to the Mail2 Register using B0-B17 (B18-B35 are don't care inputs). In this first case A0-A17 will have valid data (A18-A35 will
be indeterminate). If Port B is configured for byte size, data can be written to the Mail2 Register using B0-B8 (B9-B35 are don't care inputs). In this second case, A0-A8 will have valid
data (A9-A35 will be indeterminate).

NOTE:
1. CSB = LOW; W/RB is HIGH
2. Retransmit setup is complete after EF returns HIGH, only then can a read operation begin.
3. W1 = first word written to the FIFO after Master Reset.
4. No more than D-2 may be written to the FIFO between Reset (Master or Partial) and Retransmit setup. Therefore, FF will be LOW throughout the Retransmit setup procedure.
D = 16,384, 32,768 and 65,536 for the IDT72V3683, IDT72V3693 and IDT72V36103 respectively.

2. Retransmit setup is complete after OR returns HIGH, only then can a read operation begin.
3. W1 = first word written to the FIFO after Master Reset.
4. No more than D-2 may be written to the FIFO between Reset (Master or Partial) and Retransmit setup. Therefore, IR will be LOW throughout the Retransmit setup procedure.

Figure 21. Block Diagram of 2,048 x 36, 4,096 x 36, 8,192 x 36 Synchronous FIFO Memory with
Programmable Flags used in Depth Expansion Configuration
NOTES:
1. Mailbox feature is not supported in depth expansion applications. (MBA + MBB tie to GND)
2. Transfer clock should be set either to the Write Port Clock (CLKA) or the Read Port Clock (CLKB), whichever is faster.
3. The amount of time it takes for EF/OR of the last FIFO in the chain to go HIGH (i.e. valid data to appear on the last FIFO’s outputs) after a word has been written to the first FIFO is the
sum of the delays for each individual FIFO: (N - 1)*(4*transfer clock) + 3*TRCLK, where N is the number of FIFOs in the expansion and TRCLK is the CLKB period.
4 . The amount of time it takes for FF/IR of the first FIFO in the chain to go HIGH after a word has been read from the last FIFO is the sum of the delays for each individual FIFO:
(N - 1)*(3*transfer clock) + 2*TWCLK, where N is the number of FIFOs in the expansion and TWCLK is the CLKA period.
