Product details
Overview
72235LB10TFG from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a 2,048 × 18-bit synchronous FIFO memory IC with dual-clock operation, 10 ns read/write cycle time, programmable Almost-Empty/Almost-Full flags, and Half-Full flag capability - deployed in optical disk controllers, LAN interface buffers, and interprocessor communication links.
For engineers reviewing the 72235LB10TFG datasheet, 72235LB10TFG pinout, 72235LB10TFG application, or 72235LB10TFG equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, industrial-grade temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), TQFP-64 package details, and direct alternatives for depth/width expansion scenarios requiring deterministic latency and zero fall-through architecture.
Technical Context
The 72235LB10TFG implements a dual-port, zero fall-through time architecture with independent read/write pointer logic, asynchronous flag generation (PAE/PAF/HF), and synchronized status flags (EF/FF). It supports both single-clock (coincident RCLK/WCLK) and dual-clock (asynchronous RCLK/WCLK) modes with tSKEW1 ≥ 5 ns and tSKEW2 ≥ 5 ns for reliable full/empty boundary detection.
Its offset register programming enables configurable Almost-Empty (default 127 words from empty) and Almost-Full (default 127 words from full) thresholds via LD/WEN/RCLK-controlled state machine. Expansion is supported via WXI/WXO and RXI/RXO pins in daisy-chain depth configurations, with FL grounded for single-device use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Depth × Width | 2,048 × 18-bit - provides 36,864 bits of buffered data storage for burst-to-stream conversion. |
| Cycle Time | 10 ns - enables 100 MHz maximum clock frequency for high-throughput data staging. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails. |
| Flag Latency | tWFF ≤ 6.5 ns, tREF ≤ 6.5 ns - ensures rapid full/empty status propagation synchronized to WCLK/RCLK edges. |
| Programmable Offset | 127-word default for PAE/PAF - allows precise buffer watermarking for flow control in real-time systems. |
| Output Enable Delay | tOE = 3–6 ns - guarantees fast tri-state control for bus sharing in multi-device systems. |
Pinout & Package
72235LB10TFG is housed in a 64-lead thin quad flatpack (TQFP) package with 0.5 mm pitch, 10 mm × 10 mm body, and exposed thermal pad (STQFP variant per order code TF). Pin 1 marked by top-left corner notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D17 | Data Input Bus | 18-bit parallel input path; latched on rising edge of WCLK when WEN = LOW. |
| Q0–Q17 | Data Output Bus | 18-bit parallel output; three-state controlled by OE, updated on rising RCLK when REN = LOW. |
| WCLK / RCLK | Independent Clock Inputs | Asynchronous or coincident clocks; enable deterministic dual-clock buffering with skew tolerance ≥5 ns. |
| WEN / REN | Write/Read Enable Controls | Gate data transfer; inhibit writes when FF = LOW, inhibit reads when EF = LOW. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-LOW control for high-impedance output bus - essential for shared data bus architectures. |
| RS | Hardware Reset | Asynchronous reset of pointers and flags; required before first write after power-up. |
| LD | Offset Register Load | Enables programming of PAE/PAF thresholds via D0–D11 (write) or Q0–Q11 (read) during dedicated load cycles. |
| FL, WXI, RXI | Expansion Control Inputs | Ground for single-device mode; configure daisy-chain depth expansion with FL = LOW on first device. |
| FF, EF, PAF, PAE, WXO/HF, RXO | Status & Expansion Outputs | FF/EF are synchronous to WCLK/RCLK; PAF/PAE/HF are asynchronous; WXO/RXO drive next device in chain. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 72235LB10TFG?
The 72235LB10TFG supports a maximum clock cycle time of 10 ns, corresponding to a 100 MHz maximum frequency for both read and write clocks. This rating is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, with AC timing parameters including tCLKH ≥ 4.5 ns and tCLKL ≥ 4.5 ns.
Does the 72235LB10TFG support single-clock or dual-clock operation?
Yes, the 72235LB10TFG supports both modes: RCLK and WCLK may be tied together for single-clock operation, or run asynchronously for dual-clock domain bridging. The device includes tSKEW1 ≥ 5 ns and tSKEW2 ≥ 5 ns specifications to ensure reliable FF and EF flag updates under asynchronous conditions.
How is the Half-Full flag (HF) implemented on the 72235LB10TFG?
On the 72235LB10TFG, the HF function is multiplexed onto the WXO pin. In single-device mode (WXI/RXI grounded), HF asserts LOW when exactly 1,024 words (half of 2,048) are stored. It remains LOW until the difference between write and read pointers drops to ≤1,024, then resets HIGH on the next RCLK rising edge - enabling symmetric buffer monitoring without external logic.
What are the default programmable flag offsets for the 72235LB10TFG?
The 72235LB10TFG defaults to 127-word offsets for both PAE and PAF at power-on reset - meaning PAE asserts when 127 words remain before empty, and PAF asserts when 127 words remain before full. These values are stored in the offset registers and can be reprogrammed via LD/WEN sequence using D0–D11 inputs.
Can multiple 72235LB10TFG devices be cascaded for greater depth?
Yes - the 72235LB10TFG supports depth expansion via daisy-chain configuration using WXI/WXO and RXI/RXO pins. FL must be grounded on the first device and HIGH on all subsequent devices. Each device contributes its full 2,048-word depth, with WXO pulses signaling last-location writes to the next device's WXI input.
