Product details
Overview
IDT72V3650L6PFG from Integrated Device Technology is a 3.3V, 2,048 × 36-bit high-density SuperSync™ II FIFO memory with independent read/write clocks, 166 MHz max clock frequency, 5V-tolerant inputs, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports x36/x18/x9 bus-matching on both ports and operates in IDT Standard or First Word Fall Through (FWFT) timing mode - used in telecom line cards for buffering asynchronous data streams between mismatched buses.
For engineers reviewing the IDT72V3650L6PFG datasheet, IDT72V3650L6PFG pinout, IDT72V3650L6PFG application, or IDT72V3650L6PFG equivalent, key selection criteria include configurable bus width, zero-latency retransmit capability, programmable almost-empty/empty flags, and PBGA-144 vs TQFP-128 package compatibility.
Technical Context
This FIFO implements dual-clock synchronous/asynchronous read-write architecture with independent RCLK and WCLK inputs supporting fully asynchronous operation (0 Hz to 166 MHz), enabling bridging between domains with unrelated clock frequencies. It integrates flag logic for EF/OR, FF/IR, HF, PAE, and PAF with user-selectable timing modes (synchronous or asynchronous for PAE/PAF) and offset programming via serial or parallel interface.
Bus-matching is controlled at master reset by BM, IW, and OW pins, allowing flexible data path configurations including x36→x18, x36→x9, x18→x36, and x9→x36. The device also supports Big-Endian/Little-Endian byte ordering, interspersed/non-interspersed parity during offset programming, and JTAG boundary scan (PBGA only).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Depth × Width | 2,048 × 36 bits - provides 73,728-bit buffer capacity for burst-mode data alignment across clock domains. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 166 MHz - enables ≤6 ns clock cycle time for high-throughput packet buffering in telecom and video interfaces. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±0.15 V - compliant with JEDEC JESD8-A; supports mixed-voltage system integration with 5V-tolerant inputs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems requiring thermal robustness without derating. |
| Package | 144-pin PBGA (13 mm × 13 mm, 1 mm pitch) - includes JTAG, ASYR/ASYW control, and enhanced bus-matching features not available in TQFP variant. |
| Timing Mode | Configurable IDT Standard or FWFT - FWFT enables immediate first-word output after three RCLK edges, reducing latency in real-time streaming paths. |
| Power Consumption | ICC1 ≤ 40 mA active, ICC2 ≤ 15 mA standby - auto power-down minimizes quiescent current when idle, critical for power-constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 144-pin Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA), 13 mm × 13 mm, 1 mm pitch, BB144 footprint. Includes JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI/TRST), asynchronous port enable (ASYR/ASYW), and extended configuration pins (PFM, RM, IP, BE) not present in TQFP variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D35 | Data Inputs | 36-bit bidirectional data bus; width reduced to x18 or x9 based on IW/OW/BM state during MRS - enables seamless interface to legacy 16-/8-bit peripherals. |
| Q0–Q35 | Data Outputs | 36-bit output bus with OE-controlled 3-state; outputs are not 5V-tolerant - requires level-shifting when interfacing to 5V logic. |
| RCLK / RD | Read Clock / Strobe | Asynchronous read enabled by RD rising edge (PBGA only); synchronous read uses RCLK+REN - supports both legacy strobe-based and modern clocked read protocols. |
| WCLK / WR | Write Clock / Strobe | Asynchronous write enabled by WR rising edge (PBGA only); synchronous write uses WCLK+WEN - allows direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or FPGA logic. |
| EF/OR, FF/IR, HF | Status Flags | EF/OR = empty/output-ready; FF/IR = full/input-ready; HF = half-full - provide real-time FIFO occupancy feedback without polling. |
| PAE, PAF | Programmable Flags | Assert at user-defined thresholds (8 default offsets or custom-programmed) - enables precise flow control for DMA engines or interrupt-driven firmware. |
| MRS, PRS | Reset Controls | MRS clears pointers and resets all configuration; PRS clears data but retains flag settings and timing mode - supports mid-operation buffer reuse without reconfiguration. |
| RT, RM | Retransmit Control | RT initiates re-read from start; RM selects zero-latency (RT effect synchronized to same RCLK edge) or normal-latency mode - essential for packet retransmission in networking stacks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible Bus-Matching | Supports x36↔x18, x36↔x9, x18↔x36, x9↔x36 data path conversion via BM/IW/OW pins - eliminates external glue logic in heterogeneous bus systems. |
| Zero-Latency Retransmit | When RM = LOW at MRS, RT assertion places first word on Q-bus within one RCLK cycle - enables deterministic retry timing for loss-sensitive protocols like PCIe AER or Ethernet MAC retransmit. |
| First Word Fall Through (FWFT) | After three RCLK edges, first written word appears on Q-bus without REN - reduces pipeline stall in real-time video/audio streaming where initial latency must be minimized. |
| Programmable Flag Timing | PAE/PAF can operate synchronously (edge-triggered by RCLK/WCLK) or asynchronously (level-sensitive) - simplifies timing closure in mixed-signal SoC interconnects. |
| JTAG Boundary Scan | Fully IEEE 1149.1-compliant test access port (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI/TRST) - enables production ICT, board-level fault isolation, and in-system debug of FIFO-linked data paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FIFO memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT72V3660L6PFG | 4,096 × 36-bit depth (2× capacity); identical pinout, timing, and feature set. | Suitable where deeper buffering is required (e.g., >2 ms latency tolerance in audio buffers). | Select when additional depth is needed without layout change - drop-in upgrade with no firmware or timing adjustments. |
| ON Semiconductor NB3N502DG | 2,048 × 9-bit depth; LVDS-compatible; no bus-matching or FWFT; lower power (ICC1 ≤ 22 mA). | Targeted at low-power, fixed-width serial links (e.g., camera sensor interfaces), not multi-width bridging. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-bandwidth applications where x36/x18/x9 flexibility and retransmit are unnecessary. |
Compared with IDT72V3660L6PFG and NB3N502DG, the IDT72V3650L6PFG uniquely balances depth, bus-flexibility, and zero-latency retransmit - making it optimal for telecom and video systems requiring adaptive data path sizing and deterministic retry behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the IDT72V3650L6PFG?
The IDT72V3650L6PFG supports up to 166 MHz clock frequency on both read and write ports, corresponding to a minimum clock cycle time of 6 ns. This is verified in AC Electrical Characteristics tables for commercial and industrial temperature ranges, with tCLK = 6 ns specified for the L6 speed grade.
Does the IDT72V3650L6PFG support asynchronous read and write operations?
Yes, the IDT72V3650L6PFG supports asynchronous operation on both ports - but only in the PBGA package. Pins ASYR and ASYW configure this mode during master reset. In asynchronous mode, RD and WR strobes replace RCLK and WCLK for data transfer, and the device must operate in IDT Standard timing mode.
How does the zero-latency retransmit function work in the IDT72V3650L6PFG?
When RM is held LOW during master reset, the IDT72V3650L6PFG enables zero-latency retransmit: asserting RT on a rising RCLK edge causes the first word to appear on Q-bus aligned to that same RCLK edge. This eliminates pipeline delay in packet retransmission scenarios, unlike normal-latency mode which introduces one additional clock cycle.
Can the IDT72V3650L6PFG be used in a 5V system?
The IDT72V3650L6PFG has 5V-tolerant inputs (VIH up to 5.5 V), allowing direct connection to 5V logic outputs. However, its outputs (Q0–Q35) are not 5V-tolerant and operate at 3.3V levels - external level shifters or series resistors are required when driving 5V inputs.
What package options are available for the IDT72V3650L6PFG?
The IDT72V3650L6PFG is offered exclusively in a 144-pin PBGA (BB144, 13 mm × 13 mm, 1 mm pitch). Unlike earlier members of the family, the L6PFG suffix denotes the PBGA variant - it does not have a TQFP option. This package includes JTAG, ASYR/ASYW, and full bus-matching feature set.
