description
The SN54ABT3614 is a high-speed, low-power BiCMOS bidirectional clocked FIFO memory. It supports clock
frequenciesupto50MHzandhasread-accesstimesasfastas12ns. Twoindependent64× 36dual-portSRAM
FIFOs in this device buffer data in opposite directions. Each FIFO has flags to indicate empty and full conditions
and two programmable flags (almost full and almost empty) to indicate when a selected number of words is
stored in memory. FIFO data on port B can be input and output in 36-bit, 18-bit, and 9-bit formats, with a choice
of big- or little-endian configurations. Three modes of byte-order swapping are possible with any bus-size
selection. Communication between each port can bypass the FIFOs via two 36-bit mailbox registers. Each
mailbox register has a flag to signal when new mail has been stored. Parity is checked passively on each port
and can be ignored if not desired. Parity generation can be selected for data read from each port.
The SN54ABT3614 is a clocked FIFO, which means each port employs a synchronous interface. All data
transfersthroughaportaregatedtothelow-to-hightransitionofacontinuous(free-running)portclockbyenable
signals. The continuous clocks for each port are independent of one another and can be asynchronous or
coincident. The enables for each port are arranged to provide a simple bidirectional interface between
microprocessors and/or buses controlled by a synchronous interface.
The full flag and almost-full flag of a FIFO are two-stage synchronized to the port clock that writes data to its
array. The empty flag and almost-empty flag of a FIFO are two-stage synchronized to the port clock that reads
data from its array.
The SN54ABT3614 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
