Product details
Overview
7201LA15SOGI from IDT (now Renesas Electronics) is a 512 × 9-bit asynchronous CMOS FIFO memory IC used for rate buffering and data synchronization between mismatched clock domains or bus protocols. It features 15 ns access time, ultra-low active power (440 mW max), full/empty/half-full status flags, and auto-retransmit capability. It is deployed in industrial communications interfaces requiring deterministic latency and overflow/underflow protection.
For engineers reviewing the 7201LA15SOGI datasheet, 7201LA15SOGI pinout, 7201LA15SOGI application, or 7201LA15SOGI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 512-word depth, 9-bit data width with parity support, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), TSSOP-28 package, and compatibility with depth/width expansion architectures.
Technical Context
The 7201LA15SOGI implements a dual-port ring-buffer architecture with independent read/write pointers managed entirely internally-no external address lines required. Its asynchronous operation allows simultaneous read and write cycles without shared clock constraints, making it suitable for multiprocessing handshaking and protocol bridging.
It supports three operating modes: Single Device (XI grounded), Depth Expansion (daisy-chained via XI/XO), and Width Expansion (parallel data buses). The FL/RT pin serves dual roles-First Load in expansion mode and Retransmit enable in single-device mode-while HF flag functionality is disabled in expansion configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 512 × 9-bit FIFO buffer - supports 512 words of 9-bit data, enabling parity bit usage for error detection in serial comms. |
| Access Time (tA) | 15 ns max - guarantees sub-20 ns data availability after write pulse, critical for high-throughput buffering in real-time systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and tolerant of supply ripple in industrial environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade applications including factory automation and motor control. |
| Power Consumption | Active: 440 mW max; Power-down: 28 mW max - enables low-energy operation during idle periods without sacrificing wake-up latency. |
| Status Flags | EF (Empty), FF (Full), XO/HF (Half-Full or Expansion Out) - provides hardware-level flow control without software polling overhead. |
| Retransmit Function | RT input resets read pointer to start on falling edge - supports re-sending buffered data frames without CPU intervention. |
Pinout & Package
7201LA15SOGI is housed in a 28-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance in dense PCB layouts.
| 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 from FIFO when EF = HIGH. |
| D0–D8 | Data Inputs | 9-bit parallel data bus accepting input values synchronized to W edge; supports parity bit assignment. |
| Q0–Q8 | Data Outputs | 9-bit tri-state outputs enabled only during active read cycle (R = LOW); high-impedance otherwise. |
| EF, FF, XO/HF | Status Flag Outputs | Open-drain or push-pull (per config); EF = LOW when empty, FF = LOW when full, XO/HF = LOW at half-fill in single-device mode. |
| RS | Reset Input | Active-LOW signal that synchronously resets both read and write pointers to location zero; required before first write. |
| FL/RT | Mode-Control Input | In single-device mode (XI = GND): RT function - pulsed LOW to reset read pointer; in depth expansion: FL designation for first device. |
| XI | Expansion In Input | Grounded for single-device operation; tied to XO of prior device in daisy-chain depth expansion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Dual-Port Architecture | Enables independent, concurrent read/write operations without clock domain alignment-eliminates synchronization logic in bridge designs. |
| Hardware Flow Control Flags | EF, FF, and HF flags provide immediate, cycle-accurate status feedback-reduces firmware overhead and prevents data loss in burst transfers. |
| Auto-Retransmit Capability | RT input resets read pointer without affecting write pointer-enables repeat transmission of command/response sequences in protocol stacks. |
| Expandable Memory Depth & Width | Supports unlimited depth via XI/XO daisy chaining and arbitrary width via parallel data bus stacking-scalable from 512×9 to multi-kiloword buffers. |
| Military-Grade Qualification | Compliant with MIL-STD-883 Class B and SMD 5962-89666-validated for ruggedized industrial and defense subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FIFO memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7201LA20SOGI | Slower 20 ns access time; identical 512×9 organization, TSSOP-28 package, and feature set. | Suitable where system timing margins allow relaxed setup/hold requirements; lower power draw in marginal cases. | Select when 15 ns speed is unnecessary and cost or availability favors 20 ns grade. |
| 7202LA15SOGI | Double memory depth (1024×9); same speed, voltage, temperature, and pinout-pin-compatible upgrade path. | Required when application buffer depth exceeds 512 words but retains same interface timing and layout. | Choose for future-proofing or immediate need for >512-word capacity without redesign. |
Compared with 7201LA15SOGI, the 7201LA20SOGI trades 5 ns speed for marginally lower power and broader availability, while the 7202LA15SOGI offers double depth with identical timing-making it a direct layout-compatible upgrade for deeper buffering needs.

FAQ
What is the memory depth and data width of the 7201LA15SOGI?
The 7201LA15SOGI is a 512 × 9-bit asynchronous FIFO, providing 512 words of storage with a 9-bit data path. This configuration supports 8-bit data plus one parity bit, making it ideal for error-checked serial communication protocols. Its fixed depth and width are defined by silicon implementation-not configurable via registers-and match the IDT7201LA product designation in the 7200L family.
Does the 7201LA15SOGI support industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the 7201LA15SOGI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This rating is explicitly confirmed in the "Recommended DC Operating Conditions" table and applies to all speed grades-including the 15 ns variant-when ordered with the 'I' temperature suffix (embedded in the 'SOGI' package code). It is not rated for commercial-only or military-only variants.
How does the Retransmit (RT) function work on the 7201LA15SOGI?
The Retransmit (RT) function on the 7201LA15SOGI resets the internal read pointer to the first memory location when RT is pulsed LOW, while leaving the write pointer unchanged. This enables re-reading buffered data from the beginning without disrupting ongoing writes. RT operates only in Single Device Mode (XI = GND) and is disabled in Depth Expansion Mode per datasheet Section 6.
Is the 7201LA15SOGI pin-compatible with other members of the IDT7200L family?
Yes, the 7201LA15SOGI is pin- and functionally compatible with the entire IDT7200L/7201LA/7202LA family in the same package (e.g., TSSOP-28), including 7200L15SOGI and 7202LA15SOGI. This allows drop-in depth upgrades (e.g., 512 → 1024 words) without PCB changes, provided the application firmware handles the increased buffer size.
What package type and lead finish does the 7201LA15SOGI use?
The 7201LA15SOGI uses a 28-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with lead finish compliant with RoHS and JEDEC standards. The 'G' in 'SOGI' denotes green (halogen-free) packaging, and 'I' specifies industrial temperature range. Lead finish is matte tin-SnPb versions were discontinued per PDN# SP-17-02 with last-time-buy ending June 15, 2018.
