Product details
Overview
IDT72V03L25J from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 3.3 V CMOS asynchronous FIFO memory with 2,048 × 9-bit depth and width, supporting simultaneous read/write operations in multiprocessing and rate-buffering applications. It features 15 ns access time (tA), industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), active power consumption ≤60 mA, and status flags (Empty, Full, Half-Full) for overflow/underflow control.
For engineers reviewing the IDT72V03L25J datasheet, IDT72V03L25J pinout, IDT72V03L25J application, or IDT72V03L25J equivalent, key selection considerations include its 32-pin PLCC package, 25 ns speed grade, auto-retransmit capability, dual-mode expansion support (depth/width), and compatibility with legacy 720x-family systems requiring low-power 3.3 V operation.
Technical Context
The IDT72V03L25J implements ring-pointer-based asynchronous FIFO architecture with no external address bus required. Data flows via independent write (W) and read (R) control lines, with internal sequential addressing managed by dedicated write and read pointers.
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 enable in depth expansion and retransmit trigger in single-device mode-with HF flag available only in non-expanded configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2,048 × 9 bits - provides 18,432 total bits with 9-bit data path supporting parity/control bit insertion |
| Access Time (tA) | 25 ns max - determines minimum cycle time for reliable read/write transitions in high-speed buffering |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic systems; not 5 V tolerant |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Active Current (ICC1) | ≤60 mA at 20 MHz - enables low-power system-level power budgeting |
| Status Flags | EF, FF, XO/HF - real-time hardware signaling for empty/full/half-full conditions without software polling |
| Retransmit Pulse Width (tRT) | 25 ns min - ensures robust reset of read pointer to initial location for data retransmission |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC, J32-1), surface-mount, leaded, RoHS-compliant green variant available (order code G).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D8 | Data Input Bus | 9-bit parallel input path; accepts data on falling edge of W |
| Q0–Q8 | Data Output Bus | 9-bit tri-state output; driven only during active R pulse |
| W | Write Enable | Falling-edge triggered write; blocked when FF = LOW to prevent overflow |
| R | Read Enable | Falling-edge triggered read; blocked when EF = LOW to prevent underflow |
| RS | Reset | Active-low synchronous reset; initializes both read/write pointers to location zero |
| FL/RT | Mode-Control Input | In single-device mode: retransmit trigger; in depth expansion: first-load indicator |
| XI | Expansion In | Grounded for single-device mode; tied to XO of prior device in daisy chain |
| XO/HF | Expansion Out / Half-Full Flag | Outputs daisy-chain pulse in expansion mode; asserts LOW when memory ≥50% full in single mode |
| EF | Empty Flag | Active-low open-drain output indicating no valid data available for read |
| FF | Full Flag | Active-low open-drain output indicating no space for additional write |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V supply input; decoupling capacitor required per high-speed CMOS practice |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Dual-Port Operation | Independent W and R controls allow concurrent read/write without clock synchronization or arbitration logic |
| Auto-Retransmit Capability | Pulsing FL/RT LOW resets read pointer to start address while preserving write pointer position for repeat transmission |
| Expandable Architecture | Unlimited depth expansion via XI/XO chaining and width expansion via parallel data bus stacking |
| Hardware Status Signaling | Dedicated EF, FF, and XO/HF outputs eliminate need for software flag polling or external monitoring circuitry |
| Low-Power 3.3 V CMOS | Active power ≤180 mW and standby ≤18 mW reduce thermal load and extend battery life in portable systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FIFO memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72V03L25P | Same 2,048 × 9 organization and 25 ns speed, but in 32-pin PDIP package instead of PLCC | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board upgrades where socket compatibility matters | Select when manual assembly, breadboarding, or existing DIP footprint reuse is required |
| 72V03L35J | Same PLCC-32 package and functionality, but slower 35 ns access time and higher timing margins | Better suited for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 25 ns timing is unnecessary | Choose when system clock rates permit relaxed timing and lower unit cost is prioritized over peak performance |
Compared with IDT72V03L25J, the 72V03L25P offers identical electrical behavior in a through-hole package for easier validation, while the 72V03L35J trades speed for cost and margin-both require no PCB redesign but differ in mechanical fit and timing headroom.

FAQ
What is the memory depth and data width of the IDT72V03L25J?
The IDT72V03L25J provides a fixed memory organization of 2,048 words × 9 bits. This yields 18,432 total bits with a 9-bit parallel data path, allowing one bit to be reserved for parity or control purposes in serial communication protocols. Its depth is not programmable and matches the "03" designation in the part number.
Does the IDT72V03L25J support both commercial and industrial temperature ranges?
Yes, the IDT72V03L25J is specified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C as a standard offering in the 25 ns speed grade. Commercial range (0°C to +70°C) variants exist but are distinct orderables; this specific part number is qualified for industrial use without special ordering.
Can the IDT72V03L25J be used in depth-expansion configurations?
Yes, the IDT72V03L25J supports depth expansion via its XI (Expansion In) and XO/HF (Expansion Out) pins. When chained in daisy configuration, multiple devices create larger effective memory depth. However, in this mode, the FL/RT pin functions as First Load (FL), and the Half-Full Flag (HF) and Retransmit (RT) features are disabled per the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the FL/RT pin on the IDT72V03L25J?
The FL/RT pin on the IDT72V03L25J is multifunctional: in single-device mode (XI grounded), it acts as Retransmit (RT), resetting the read pointer to the start address upon a LOW pulse; in depth-expansion mode (XI connected to prior XO), it serves as First Load (FL) to designate the initial device in the chain. Its function depends entirely on the XI signal state.
Is the IDT72V03L25J still in active production?
No - the IDT72V03L25J entered End-of-Life (EOL) per Renesas PDN# SP-17-02. Lead-finish (SnPb) versions ceased shipments after June 15, 2018. Green (RoHS-compliant) variants may remain available in limited quantities through authorized distributors, but new designs should consider migration paths or lifetime buy planning.
