Product details
Overview
IDT7200L12SOG8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 256 × 9-bit asynchronous CMOS FIFO memory IC designed for rate-matching, data buffering, and protocol bridging in dual-clock domain systems. It features 12 ns access time, ultra-low active power (440 mW max), and status flags (Empty, Full, Half-Full) for overflow/underflow protection - deployed in industrial communications controllers and legacy military avionics interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the IDT7200L12SOG8 datasheet, IDT7200L12SOG8 pinout, IDT7200L12SOG8 application, or IDT7200L12SOG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9-bit data width with parity support, retransmit capability for error recovery, single-device or expandable depth/width configurations, and compliance with MIL-STD-883 Class B for harsh-environment operation.
Technical Context
This FIFO implements ring-pointer-based sequential read/write without external address logic, using independent W (write) and R (read) control lines to enable true asynchronous, simultaneous operations. Its internal RAM array is organized as 256 × 9 bits, with dedicated flag logic generating EF, FF, and XO/HF outputs based on pointer comparison.
The device supports three operating modes: Single Device (XI grounded), Depth Expansion (daisy-chained via XI/XO), and Width Expansion (parallel data buses). Retransmit (RT) resets the read pointer to zero without affecting the write pointer - critical for deterministic retransmission in serial link protocols.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 256 × 9-bit (2,304 bits total); supports parity bit insertion in 9-bit bus |
| Access Time (tA) | 12 ns max - enables ≤50 MHz shift frequency in commercial/industrial temp ranges |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic families |
| Power Consumption | Active: 440 mW max (80 mA @ 5 V); Power-down: 28 mW max (5 mA) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - industrial grade; also available in military (–55°C to +125°C) variant |
| Status Flags | EF (Empty), FF (Full), XO/HF (Half-Full or Expansion Out) - real-time buffer occupancy monitoring |
| Retransmit Function | Pulse RT low to reset read pointer to start - enables deterministic data replay without write interruption |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin SOIC (SO28-3), surface-mount, green (Pb-free) compliant, 300 mil width.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| W | Write Enable Input | Falling-edge-triggered write strobe; initiates storage of D0–D8 into FIFO when FF = HIGH |
| R | Read Enable Input | Falling-edge-triggered read strobe; outputs Q0–Q8 when EF = HIGH |
| D0–D8 | Data Inputs | 9-bit parallel input bus; supports parity bit assignment per system requirement |
| Q0–Q8 | Data Outputs | 3-state outputs enabled only during active read; high-impedance when R = HIGH |
| RS | Reset Input | Active-low synchronous reset; sets both read/write pointers to location zero at power-up |
| FL/RT | First Load / Retransmit Input | In single mode: RT input; pulse LOW to reset read pointer. In depth expansion: FL select for first device |
| EF | Empty Flag Output | Open-drain output LOW when read pointer = write pointer - prevents underflow reads |
| FF | Full Flag Output | Open-drain output LOW when write pointer = (read pointer – 1) mod 256 - prevents overflow writes |
| XO/HF | Expansion Out / Half-Full Flag | In single mode: HF output LOW when ≥128 locations filled. In depth expansion: daisy-chain signal to next device |
| XI | Expansion In Input | Grounded for single-device mode; tied to XO of prior device in depth expansion chain |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply; decoupling required per high-speed CMOS layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Dual-Port Operation | Independent W and R clocks allow seamless data transfer between mismatched timing domains (e.g., UART ↔ microcontroller) |
| Expandable Architecture | Depth expansion (up to 64k × 9 via daisy-chain) and width expansion (e.g., 256 × 18 using two devices) without external address logic |
| Retransmit Capability | RT pulse resets read pointer to zero while preserving write pointer - essential for ARQ protocols and deterministic replay |
| 9-Bit Data Bus with Parity Support | Extra bit enables hardware parity generation/checking in serial communication links (e.g., RS-422/485, MIL-STD-1553) |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B Compliance | Qualified for military applications including avionics and ground vehicle systems requiring extended temperature and reliability validation |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FIFO memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MC100E131FN | ECL-based 256 × 9 FIFO; 3.3 V supply; 2.5 ns access time; requires negative bias supply | Better speed but higher power and complex biasing; suited for RF test equipment, not industrial controllers | Select only if sub-5 ns timing and ECL compatibility are mandatory; not drop-in for 5 V systems |
| Renesas IDT7202LA25SOG8 | 1,024 × 9 organization; 25 ns access time; same SOIC-28 package and pinout; higher depth, slower speed | Same footprint and control logic; ideal for applications needing >256-word buffering without redesign | Drop-in upgrade path when deeper buffering is required; retains identical interface and flag behavior |
Compared with IDT7200L12SOG8, MC100E131FN delivers faster timing but demands ECL infrastructure and consumes ~5× more power, whereas IDT7202LA25SOG8 offers 4× memory depth with identical pinout and control semantics - making it the preferred migration for capacity-limited designs.

FAQ
What is the memory depth and data width of the IDT7200L12SOG8?
IDT7200L12SOG8 provides a fixed 256 × 9-bit memory organization - 256 words of 9-bit data. The ninth bit supports parity generation or control signaling, making it suitable for error-checked serial protocols. This configuration is immutable; depth expansion requires cascading multiple IDT7200L12SOG8 units using XI/XO signals.
Does the IDT7200L12SOG8 support retransmission, and how is it triggered?
Yes, IDT7200L12SOG8 supports hardware retransmission via the FL/RT pin. When operated in Single Device Mode (XI grounded), pulsing RT LOW resets the internal read pointer to location zero while leaving the write pointer unchanged. This enables deterministic replay of buffered data - critical for ARQ protocols - without disrupting ongoing write operations.
What package type and lead finish does the IDT7200L12SOG8 use?
IDT7200L12SOG8 is supplied in a 28-pin SOIC (SO28-3) package with green (Pb-free) lead finish, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It replaces legacy SnPb versions discontinued per PDN# SP-17-02, with last-time-buy expired June 15, 2018. No leaded variants are currently available.
Can the IDT7200L12SOG8 be used in military temperature applications?
No - IDT7200L12SOG8 is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) only. Military-grade operation (–55°C to +125°C) requires alternate part numbers such as IDT7200L12D (CERDIP) or IDT7200L12TD (Thin CERDIP), which are MIL-STD-883 Class B qualified and listed under Standard Military Drawings 5962-87531 and 5962-89536.
How does the Half-Full Flag (XO/HF) function in IDT7200L12SOG8?
In Single Device Mode (XI = GND), the XO/HF pin functions as the Half-Full Flag and goes LOW after the 128th write operation - indicating ≥50% buffer occupancy. It remains LOW until the difference between write and read pointers falls to ≤128, then resets HIGH on the rising edge of the next read. This enables proactive DMA or interrupt triggering before full saturation.
