Product details
Overview
IDT72225LB10TFG8 from Integrated Device Technology is a 1,024 × 18-bit synchronous FIFO memory IC with dual-clock operation, 10 ns read/write cycle time, and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C). It features programmable Almost-Empty/Almost-Full flags, Half-Full flag, and zero fall-through time architecture-used in LAN controllers, interprocessor communication, and optical disk interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the IDT72225LB10TFG8 datasheet, IDT72225LB10TFG8 pinout, IDT72225LB10TFG8 application, or IDT72225LB10TFG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include 18-bit data width, 10 ns timing grade, TQFP-64 package compatibility, and dual-port flag signaling for depth-expansible buffering in mixed-clock domain systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-port, clocked RAM array with independent read/write pointers, offset-register-controlled programmable flags (PAE/PAF), and asynchronous flag assertion synchronized to respective clocks. Its dual-clock mode supports asynchronous WCLK/RCLK operation with skew tolerance (tSKEW1/tSKEW2 ≥ 5 ns).
The FIFO uses high-performance submicron CMOS technology and supports daisy-chain depth expansion via WXI/WXO and RXI/RXO pins. In single-device mode, FL, WXI, and RXI are grounded, enabling Half-Full flag (HF) output on WXO/HF pin.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous FIFO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT72225LB15TFG8 | 15 ns cycle time (vs. 10 ns); lower max clock frequency (66.7 MHz vs. 100 MHz); identical pinout and feature set. | Suitable for cost-optimized designs where 100 MHz throughput is unnecessary; reduced power consumption at lower speed. | Select when system timing budget allows margin >5 ns per cycle and thermal/power constraints favor slower grade. |
| ON Semiconductor MC100EP129FA | ECL-based 1,024 × 18 FIFO; 3.3 V supply; faster access (2.8 ns tA) but requires negative voltage rails and level translation. | Used in ultra-low-latency telecom backplanes; incompatible with 5 V TTL logic without interface circuitry. | Choose only for ECL-system integration; not drop-in compatible due to voltage, logic family, and thermal requirements. |
Compared with IDT72225LB15TFG8 and MC100EP129FA, IDT72225LB10TFG8 delivers highest throughput in 5 V TTL systems with full pin and functional compatibility across the IDT722xxLB family, while avoiding ECL complexity and voltage translation overhead.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the IDT72225LB10TFG8?
The IDT72225LB10TFG8 implements a 1,024 × 18-bit synchronous FIFO memory array, providing 18.4 kbit of buffer capacity. This configuration supports 18-bit parallel data paths and is optimized for applications requiring deep, clocked buffering between asynchronous subsystems. The IDT72225LB10TFG8 maintains this exact organization across all operating conditions and clock configurations.
Does the IDT72225LB10TFG8 support both single-clock and dual-clock operation?
Yes, the IDT72225LB10TFG8 supports both modes: RCLK can be tied to WCLK for single-clock operation, or run independently for true dual-clock buffering. Flag outputs (EF, FF, PAE, PAF) are synchronized to their respective clocks, and skew tolerances (tSKEW1/tSKEW2 ≥ 5 ns) ensure reliable status updates across clock boundaries. This behavior is intrinsic to the IDT72225LB10TFG8 architecture.
What are the default values for the programmable Almost-Empty and Almost-Full offsets in the IDT72225LB10TFG8?
The IDT72225LB10TFG8 defaults to 127-word offsets for both PAE and PAF after reset-meaning the Almost-Empty flag asserts when 127 words remain before empty, and the Almost-Full flag asserts when 127 words remain before full. These values are stored in dedicated 12-bit offset registers and can be reprogrammed via the LD/WEN/RCLK sequence. All IDT72225LB variants share this default.
Can the IDT72225LB10TFG8 be used in depth-expansion configurations?
Yes, the IDT72225LB10TFG8 supports daisy-chain depth expansion using WXI/WXO and RXI/RXO pins. In multi-device chains, FL is grounded on the first unit and HIGH on subsequent units. Each device retains its 18-bit width while aggregate depth scales linearly-e.g., two IDT72225LB10TFG8 units yield 2,048 × 18 capacity. Pin-level compatibility ensures no layout changes are needed.
Is the IDT72225LB10TFG8 still in active production?
The IDT72225LB10TFG8 uses SnPb lead finish and was marked End-of-Life (EOL) with Last Time Buy expiring June 15, 2018. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers lifecycle coordination support. RoHS-compliant alternatives exist within the IDT72Txx family, but IDT72225LB10TFG8 remains available for legacy industrial system repair and continuity programs.
