FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
TIMING MODES: IDT STANDARD vs FIRST WORD FALL THROUGH
(FWFT) MODE
The IDT72T3645/55/65/75/85/95/105/115/125 support two different tim-
ing modes of operation: IDT Standard mode or First Word Fall Through
(FWFT) mode. The selection of which mode will operate is determined during
Master Reset, by the state of the FWFT/SI input.
If, at the time of Master Reset, FWFT/SI is LOW, then IDT Standard mode
will be selected. This mode uses the Empty Flag (EF) to indicate whether or not
there are any words present in the FIFO. It also uses the Full Flag function (FF)
to indicate whether or not the FIFO has any free space for writing. In IDT
Standard mode, every word read from the FIFO, including the first, must be
requested using the Read Enable (REN) and RCLK.
If, at the time of Master Reset, FWFT/SI is HIGH, then FWFT mode will be
selected. This mode uses Output Ready (OR) to indicate whether or not there
is valid data at the data outputs (Q
n). It also uses Input Ready (IR) to indicate
whether or not the FIFO has any free space for writing. In the FWFT mode, the
first word written to an empty FIFO goes directly to Qn after three RCLK rising
edges, REN = LOW is not necessary. Subsequent words must be accessed
using the Read Enable (REN) and RCLK.
Various signals, both input and output signals operate differently depending
on which timing mode is in effect.
IDT STANDARD MODE
In this mode, the status flags, FF, PAF, HF, PAE, and EF operate in the
manner outlined in Table 3. To write data into to the FIFO, Write Enable (WEN)
must be LOW. Data presented to the DATA IN lines will be clocked into the FIFO
on subsequent transitions of the Write Clock (WCLK). After the first write is
performed, the Empty Flag (EF) will go HIGH. Subsequent writes will continue
to fill up the FIFO. The Programmable Almost-Empty flag (PAE) will go HIGH
after n + 1 words have been loaded into the FIFO, where n is the empty offset
value. The default setting for these values are stated in the footnote of Table 2.
This parameter is also user programmable. See section on Programmable Flag
Offset Loading.
If one continued to write data into the FIFO, and we assumed no read
operations were taking place, the Half-Full flag (HF) would toggle to LOW once
the 513rd word for IDT72T3645, 1,025th word for IDT72T3655, 2,049th word
for IDT72T3665, 4,097th word for IDT72T3675, 8,193th word for the
IDT72T3685, 16,385th word for the IDT72T3695, 32,769th word for the
IDT72T36105, 65,537th word for the IDT72T36115 and 131,073rd word for
the IDT72T36125, respectively was written into the FIFO. Continuing to write
data into the FIFO will cause the Programmable Almost-Full flag (PAF) to go
LOW. Again, if no reads are performed, the PAF will go LOW after (1,024-m)
writes for the IDT72T3645, (2,048-m) writes for the IDT72T3655, (4,096-m)
writes for the IDT72T3665, (8,192-m) writes for the IDT72T3675, (16,384-m)
writes for the IDT72T3685, (32,768-m) writes for the IDT72T3695, (65,536-m)
writes for the IDT72T36105, (131,072-m) writes for the IDT72T36115 and
(262,144-m) writes for the IDT72T36125. The offset “m” is the full offset value.
The default setting for these values are stated in the footnote of Table 2. This
parameter is also user programmable. See section on Programmable Flag
Offset Loading.
When the FIFO is full, the Full Flag (FF) will go LOW, inhibiting further write
operations. If no reads are performed after a reset, FF will go LOW after D writes
to the FIFO. D = 1,024 writes for the IDT72T3645, 2,048 writes for the
IDT72T3655, 4,096 writes for the IDT72T3665, 8,192 writes for the IDT72T3675,
16,384 writes for the IDT72T3685, 32,768 writes for the IDT72T3695, 65,536
writes for the IDT72T36105, 131,072 writes for the IDT72T36115 and 262,144
writes for the IDT72T36125, respectively.
If the FIFO is full, the first read operation will cause FF to go HIGH.
Subsequent read operations will cause PAF and HF to go HIGH at the conditions
described in Table 3. If further read operations occur, without write operations,
PAE will go LOW when there are n words in the FIFO, where n is the empty
offset value. Continuing read operations will cause the FIFO to become empty.
When the last word has been read from the FIFO, the EF will go LOW inhibiting
further read operations. REN is ignored when the FIFO is empty.
When configured in IDT Standard mode, the EF and FF outputs are double
register-buffered outputs.
Relevant timing diagrams for IDT Standard mode can be found in Figure
11, 12, 13 and 18.
FIRST WORD FALL THROUGH MODE (FWFT)
In this mode, the status flags, IR, PAF, HF, PAE, and OR operate in the
manner outlined in Table 4. To write data into to the FIFO, WEN must be LOW.
Data presented to the DATA IN lines will be clocked into the FIFO on subsequent
transitions of WCLK. After the first write is performed, the Output Ready (OR)
flag will go LOW. Subsequent writes will continue to fill up the FIFO. PAE will go
HIGH after n + 2 words have been loaded into the FIFO, where n is the empty
offset value. The default setting for these values are stated in the footnote of
Table 2. This parameter is also user programmable. See section on Program-
mable Flag Offset Loading.
If one continued to write data into the FIFO, and we assumed no read
operations were taking place, the HF would toggle to LOW once the 514th word
for the IDT72T3645, 1,026th word for the IDT72T3655, 2,050th word for the
IDT72T3665, 4,098th word for the IDT72T3675, 8,194th word for the
IDT72T3685, 16,386th word for the IDT72T3695, 32,770th word for the
IDT72T36105, 65,538th word for the IDT72T36115 and 131,074th word for
the IDT72T36125, respectively was written into the FIFO. Continuing to write
data into the FIFO will cause the PAF to go LOW. Again, if no reads are
performed, the PAF will goLOW after (1,025-m) writes for the IDT72T3645,
(2,049-m) writes for the IDT72T3655, (4,097-m) writes for the IDT72T3665
and (8,193-m) writes for the IDT72T3675, (16,385-m) writes for the IDT72T3685,
(32,769-m) writes for the IDT72T3695, (65,537-m) writes for the IDT72T36105,
(131,073-m) writes for the IDT72T36115 and (262,145-m) writes for the
IDT72T36125, where m is the full offset value. The default setting for these values
are stated in the footnote of Table 2.
When the FIFO is full, the Input Ready (IR) flag will go HIGH, inhibiting further
write operations. If no reads are performed after a reset, IR will go HIGH after
D writes to the FIFO. D = 1,025 writes for the IDT72T3645, 2,049 writes for
the IDT72T3655, 4,097 writes for the IDT72T3665 and 8,193 writes for the
IDT72T3675,16,385 writes for the IDT72T3685, 32,769 writes for the
IDT72T3695, 65,537 writes for the IDT72T36105, 131,073 writes for the
IDT72T36115 and 262,145 writes for the IDT72T36125, respectively. Note
that the additional word in FWFT mode is due to the capacity of the memory plus
output register.
If the FIFO is full, the first read operation will cause the IR flag to go LOW.
Subsequent read operations will cause the PAF and HF to go HIGH at the
conditions described in Table 4. If further read operations occur, without write
operations, the PAE will go LOW when there are n + 1 words in the FIFO, where
n is the empty offset value. Continuing read operations will cause the FIFO to
become empty. When the last word has been read from the FIFO, OR will go
HIGH inhibiting further read operations. REN is ignored when the FIFO is empty.
When configured in FWFT mode, the OR flag output is triple register-
buffered, and the IR flag output is double register-buffered.
Relevant timing diagrams for FWFT mode can be found in Figure 14, 15,
16 and 19.
