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
(Port B) words in 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
First Word operation. In this case, depending on the bus size, the most significant byte or word written to
Fall Through Port A is read 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 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.
Select The 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
Select Port B. 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.
(Port B) OR indicates 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.
FS1/SEN Flag Offset I FS1/SEN and FS0/SD are dual-purpose inputs used for flag offset register programming.
Select 1/ During Reset, FS1/SEN and FS0/SD, together with SPM, select the flag offset programming
Serial Enable method. Three offset register programming methods are available: automatically load one of
three preset values (8, 16, or 64), parallel load from Port A, and serial load.
FS0/SD Flag Offset I When serial load is selected for flag offset register programming, FS1/SEN is used as an
Serial Data enable synchronous to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA. When FS1/SEN is LOW, a
rising edge on 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 16 for the IDT72V3623 and 20 for the
IDT72V3643. The first bit write stores the Y-register MSB and the last bit write stores the
X-register LSB.
