Product details
Overview
72V235L10PFG8 from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a 3.3 V CMOS synchronous FIFO memory with 2,048 × 18-bit depth and width, 10 ns read/write cycle time, 5 V input tolerance, and dual-clock asynchronous operation capability. It serves as a high-speed data buffer in interprocessor communication and LAN controller interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 72V235L10PFG8 datasheet, 72V235L10PFG8 pinout, 72V235L10PFG8 application, or 72V235L10PFG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its FWFT/Standard timing mode configurability, programmable almost-empty/full flag offsets, register-buffered flag options, and TQFP-64 industrial-grade packaging.
Technical Context
The 72V235L10PFG8 implements a clocked dual-port RAM architecture with independent read (RCLK/REN) and write (WCLK/WEN) control paths, supporting both single-clock and fully asynchronous dual-clock operation. Its internal pointer logic manages 2,048-word depth with 18-bit parallel I/O and supports daisy-chain depth expansion via WXI/WXO and RXI/RXO pins.
Flag behavior is determined at reset by FL/RXI/WXI configuration per Table 3, enabling selection between IDT Standard and First Word Fall-Through (FWFT) timing modes, synchronous/asynchronous PAE/PAF timing, and single/double/triple register-buffered EF/FF outputs - all without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Depth × Width | 2,048 × 18-bit - provides 36,864 bits of buffered storage for burst-mode data alignment between mismatched clock domains. |
| Cycle Time | 10 ns - enables up to 100 MHz clock operation, suitable for high-throughput optical disk and network controller buffering. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V systems; 5 V tolerant inputs eliminate level-shifting requirements for legacy 5 V control signals. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and telecom infrastructure. |
| Package | 64-pin TQFP (PFG) - surface-mount footprint with 0.5 mm pitch, seven GND pins for noise suppression, and thermal performance validated for continuous operation. |
| Flag Architecture | EF/OR, FF/IR, PAE, PAF, HF - five status flags with user-programmable offsets and configurable synchronization (sync/async) and buffering (1×/2×/3×). |
Pinout & Package
72V235L10PFG8 is housed in a 64-lead thin quad flatpack (TQFP), order code PFG, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin layout follows JEDEC MO-220 standard; package dimensions are 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D17 | Data Input Bus | 18-bit parallel input path; accepts 5 V-tolerant logic levels for direct interfacing with mixed-voltage systems. |
| Q0–Q17 | Data Output Bus | 18-bit tristatable output; OE-controlled high-impedance state enables bus sharing in multi-FIFO configurations. |
| WCLK / RCLK | Independent Clock Inputs | Asynchronous clock domains supported; skew tolerance ≥5 ns ensures reliable dual-clock FIFO operation. |
| WEN / REN | Write/Read Enable Controls | Edge-triggered enables synchronized to respective clocks; inhibit writes when FF=LOW or reads when EF=LOW. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control of Q0–Q17 bus; allows shared data bus architectures without external transceivers. |
| RS | Hardware Reset | Asynchronous active-low reset initializes pointers, flags, and offset registers; minimum pulse width 10 ns. |
| LD | Offset Load Control | Enables programming of PAE/PAF offset values via D0–D11 on WCLK edges; required for custom flag thresholds. |
| FL / WXI / RXI | Configuration Inputs | Three-pin truth table (Table 3) sets timing mode (Standard/FWFT), flag sync type, and flag buffering at power-on reset. |
| FF/IR / EF/OR / PAE / PAF / WXO/HF / RXO | Status & Expansion Outputs | Open-drain-compatible flags; HF doubles as half-full indicator or depth-expansion handshake signal. |
| VCC / GND | Power Distribution | One VCC pin per 8 pins (8 total); seven dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| First Word Fall-Through (FWFT) Mode | Delivers first written word to Q-bus after three RCLK edges without requiring REN assertion - reduces latency in real-time streaming applications. |
| User-Programmable Flag Offsets | PAE/PAF thresholds set via LD/WCLK sequence using D0–D11; default offsets (127 words from empty/full) support immediate use without configuration. |
| Configurable Flag Synchronization | PAE/PAF timing selected at reset as synchronous (edge-aligned to RCLK/WCLK) or asynchronous (cross-domain assertion) - eliminates metastability in mixed-clock systems. |
| Register-Buffered Flag Outputs | EF/FF buffering selectable as single/double/triple register stages via FL/RXI/WXI - trades 1–2 clock-cycle flag delay for guaranteed stable edge detection at boundary states. |
| Daisy-Chain Depth Expansion | WXO/RXO pins enable seamless stacking of multiple 72V235L10PFG8 devices to achieve >2,048-word depth without external glue logic or address management. |

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the 72V235L10PFG8?
The 72V235L10PFG8 features a 2,048 × 18-bit synchronous FIFO memory array, delivering 36,864 bits of buffer capacity. This organization supports 18-bit parallel data paths and is optimized for applications requiring depth-matched buffering between dissimilar clock domains, such as network controllers and digital signal processors. The 72V235L10PFG8 does not support width expansion without external logic.
Does the 72V235L10PFG8 support both single-clock and dual-clock operation?
Yes, the 72V235L10PFG8 supports both configurations: RCLK and WCLK may be tied together for single-clock operation, or run asynchronously for true dual-clock buffering. Its internal pointer logic handles clock domain crossing reliably, with documented skew tolerance of ≥5 ns between clocks. This flexibility makes the 72V235L10PFG8 suitable for bridging interfaces like GMII-to-SoC or ADC-to-FPGA.
How is the First Word Fall-Through (FWFT) mode enabled on the 72V235L10PFG8?
FWFT mode is configured at power-on reset using the FL, RXI, and WXI pin states per Table 3 in the datasheet. For example, asserting FL = LOW, RXI = LOW, and WXI = HIGH selects FWFT mode with triple-register-buffered OR and double-register-buffered IR flags. The 72V235L10PFG8 does not support runtime switching between FWFT and Standard mode - configuration is static after reset.
What are the default programmable flag offset values for the 72V235L10PFG8?
The 72V235L10PFG8 defaults to 127 words from empty for PAE and 127 words from full for PAF - consistent with its 2,048-word depth. These offsets are loaded into internal registers at reset and can be reprogrammed via the LD pin and D0–D11 during normal operation. The 72V235L10PFG8 does not permit reading offset values in FWFT mode; this function is restricted to IDT Standard mode only.
Is the 72V235L10PFG8 RoHS-compliant and green-certified?
Yes, the 72V235L10PFG8 is a green-part variant with lead-free (Pb-free) terminations and RoHS-compliant packaging, as confirmed in IDT's ordering information and material declarations. It replaces legacy SnPb-finished versions discontinued as of June 2018. The 72V235L10PFG8 meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 moisture sensitivity level (MSL-3) and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
