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 IDT723624/723634/723644 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 IDT723624/723634/723644 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:
2
PT = VCC x [ICC(f) + (N x ΔICC x dc)] + Σ(CL x VCC X fo)
