Product details
Overview
IDT7205L15TPGI from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed CMOS asynchronous FIFO memory IC with 8,192 × 9-bit depth-width organization, 15 ns access time, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports simultaneous independent read/write operations, features Empty/Full/Half-Full status flags, and enables retransmit functionality for data replay in buffering applications such as serial protocol bridging and DSP interface synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the IDT7205L15TPGI datasheet, IDT7205L15TPGI pinout, IDT7205L15TPGI application, or IDT7205L15TPGI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9-bit data width with parity/control bit flexibility, dual-port asynchronous timing, power-down current of 8 mA max, and compatibility within the IDT720x family for scalable depth/width expansion.
Technical Context
The IDT7205L15TPGI implements a true dual-port FIFO architecture with independent write and read pointers managed by internal logic, enabling fully asynchronous operation without clock domain constraints. Its status flag generation (EF, FF, XO/HF) is synchronized to control signal edges-not clocks-ensuring deterministic boundary detection during overflow/underflow conditions.
It supports three primary operating modes: Single Device (XI grounded), Depth Expansion (daisy-chained via XI/XO), and Width Expansion (parallel devices sharing R/W/RS). Retransmit (RT) resets only the read pointer while preserving write pointer position, and is disabled in Depth Expansion mode per functional specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 8,192 × 9-bit (73,728 bits total; 9th bit usable for parity or control) |
| Access Time (tA) | 15 ns max - defines minimum time between valid address/data setup and stable output |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails |
| Active Power Consumption | 120 mA max ICC1 - corresponds to ~600 mW at 5 V, enabling thermal budgeting in dense PCB layouts |
| Power-Down Current | 8 mA max ICC3 - reduces standby power by >93% vs active mode for energy-sensitive systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and motor drives |

FAQ
What is the memory depth and width of the IDT7205L15TPGI?
The IDT7205L15TPGI provides 8,192 words of storage depth with a 9-bit data width (8,192 × 9), totaling 73,728 bits. The ninth bit is user-configurable for parity checking or control signaling, supporting flexible system-level error detection and protocol adaptation in applications like industrial fieldbus interfaces.
Does the IDT7205L15TPGI support simultaneous read and write operations?
Yes, the IDT7205L15TPGI supports fully asynchronous and simultaneous read and write operations using independent internal pointers. This eliminates timing conflicts between producer and consumer logic, making it ideal for use cases such as UART-to-microcontroller data buffering where transmit and receive paths operate independently.
What is the function of the FL/RT pin on the IDT7205L15TPGI?
The FL/RT (First Load / Retransmit) pin on the IDT7205L15TPGI serves a dual role: in Single Device Mode, a LOW pulse resets the read pointer to the first location without altering the write pointer-enabling hardware-triggered data replay. This feature is disabled in Depth Expansion Mode per datasheet specification.
Is the IDT7205L15TPGI compatible with 3.3 V logic systems?
No, the IDT7205L15TPGI is specified for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation and requires TTL/CMOS 5 V input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min). Direct connection to 3.3 V logic requires level-shifting circuitry; for native 3.3 V operation, consider the IDT72V211 or SN74V293 families instead of the IDT7205L15TPGI.
What package type and lead finish does the IDT7205L15TPGI use?
The IDT7205L15TPGI uses a 28-pin Plastic Thin DIP (TP) package with SnPb lead finish. Per IDT PDN# SP-17-02, SnPb parts are in End-of-Life process with last-time-buy expiration on June 15, 2018-Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and documentation for continued industrial support.
