Product details
Overview
SN74ABT3614-30PCB from Texas Instruments is a clocked bidirectional FIFO memory IC with two independent 64 × 36 dual-port SRAM buffers, supporting up to 67 MHz clock frequency, 10 ns read-access time, and dynamic port-B bus sizing (36/18/9 bits) with big/little-endian selection - used in high-bandwidth microprocessor interconnects requiring asynchronous clock domain bridging.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT3614-30PCB datasheet, SN74ABT3614-30PCB pinout, SN74ABT3614-30PCB application, or SN74ABT3614-30PCB equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-clock domain synchronization, mailbox-bypass register support, programmable almost-full/empty flags, passive parity checking per port, and PCB-package pin compatibility for legacy board reuse.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT3614-30PCB implements two independent clocked FIFOs (FIFO1 and FIFO2), each with 64 × 36-bit SRAM depth, where data flows bidirectionally: FIFO1 accepts writes on Port-A (A0–A35) synchronized to CLKA and enables reads on Port-B (B0–B35) synchronized to CLKB, and vice versa. All status flags (EFA/FFA/AEA/AFA, EFB/FFB/AEB/AFB) are two-stage synchronized to their respective port clocks to suppress metastability across asynchronous domains.
Port-B supports dynamic bus sizing via SIZ0/SIZ1 and endian selection via BE, enabling 36-bit long-word, 18-bit word, or 9-bit byte transfers - with byte-order swapping controlled by SW0/SW1. Mailbox registers (Mail1/Mail2) provide non-queued command/data exchange, each with dedicated flag (MBF1/MBF2) and microprocessor interface logic including chip select (CSA/CSB), enable (ENA/ENB), and write/read control (W/RA/W/RB).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Depth × Width × Ports | 64 × 36 × 2 independent FIFOs - provides 2,304-bit buffering per FIFO with full read/write separation between ports. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 67 MHz - enables high-throughput data transfer in real-time interconnect applications such as network bridges or DMA controllers. |
| Read Access Time | 10 ns - guarantees deterministic latency for time-critical microprocessor-to-peripheral handshaking. |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems and industrial control interfaces. |
| Parity Support | Passive per-port parity checking + selectable generation - detects single-bit errors on A0–A35 and B0–B35 without adding pipeline delay. |
| Flag Programmability | Four AF/AE offset values (4/8/12/16 words) set via FS0/FS1 - allows fine-grained flow control tuning for variable burst lengths. |
| Bus Matching | Dynamic 36/18/9-bit Port-B sizing with big/little-endian and byte-swap modes - eliminates external glue logic when interfacing mixed-width peripherals. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT3614-30PCB uses a 120-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP), designated PCB in TI documentation, with 0.4 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows standard TQFP top-view layout with pins grouped by functional blocks (Port-A, Port-B, control, clocks, power).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A35 | Port-A bidirectional data bus | 36-bit I/O interface for FIFO2 read/write and Mail2 access; high-impedance when CSA or W/RA high. |
| B0–B35 | Port-B bidirectional data bus | 36-bit I/O interface for FIFO1 read/write and Mail1 access; bus size dynamically configured via SIZ0/SIZ1/BE. |
| CLKA, CLKB | Free-running port clocks | Independent synchronous timing sources; support asynchronous or coincident operation; all flags and transfers edge-triggered on low-to-high transition. |
| CSA, CSB | Port chip select inputs | Enable port activity only when low; place corresponding data bus in high-Z state when deasserted. |
| W/RA, W/RB | Port write/read direction control | High = write, low = read; determines data flow direction and output register sourcing (FIFO vs. mailbox). |
| EFA, EFB, FFA, FFB | Synchronized empty/full flags | Two-stage registered outputs indicating FIFO fill state; EFA/FFA tied to CLKA, EFB/FFB tied to CLKB. |
| AFA, AFB, AEA, AEB | Programmable almost-full/empty flags | Configurable threshold flags (offset X = 4/8/12/16) for early flow control signaling before full/empty conditions occur. |
| MBA, MBF1, MBF2 | Mailbox control and status | MBA selects Mail2 for Port-A access; MBF1/MBF2 indicate pending mail and inhibit further writes until read. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent clock domains | CLKA and CLKB operate asynchronously or coincidentally - enables robust bridging between mismatched processor/peripheral clocks without external synchronizers. |
| Mailbox-bypass registers | Two 36-bit registers (Mail1/Mail2) with dedicated flags (MBF1/MBF2) - allow immediate command/control exchange without FIFO queuing latency. |
| Dynamic Port-B bus sizing | Runtime-selectable 36-bit (long word), 18-bit (word), or 9-bit (byte) mode with big/little-endian configuration - reduces need for external multiplexers in heterogeneous bus systems. |
| Byte-order swapping | Four modes (no swap, byte swap, word swap, byte-word swap) selectable via SW0/SW1 - ensures correct data alignment across architectures with differing endianness. |
| Two-stage synchronized flags | All status flags (EFA/FFA/AEA/AFA, EFB/FFB/AEB/AFB) use dual flip-flop staging - mitigates metastability risk in asynchronous clock domain crossings. |
Applications
| Network Bridge Interface | Microprocessor DMA Controller |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bridging two Ethernet MACs operating at different clock domains while maintaining packet integrity and flow control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional FIFO buffer with independent CLKA/CLKB clocks, mailbox registers for control message passing, and programmable AF/EF flags for adaptive backpressure.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clocked FIFO memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT72V2115L15PF | 32 × 18 × 2 FIFO, 15 ns access, 100 MHz max clock, 144-pin PQFP - smaller depth, higher speed, no mailbox registers or byte-swapping. | Lacks bus matching, endian control, and bypass registers - suitable only for simple clock-domain crossing without protocol adaptation. | Select when lower latency and higher clock rate outweigh need for flexible bus sizing and mailbox features. |
| SN74ABT3612-30PCB | 64 × 18 × 2 FIFO, same package and control logic - half the width per port, identical clocking, flag behavior, and feature set except bus-size options limited to 18/9-bit. | Cannot support 36-bit wide transfers or full-word byte-swapping - restricts use to narrower data paths or requires parallel stacking. | Choose when system data path is ≤18 bits and cost reduction via smaller die is prioritized over flexibility. |
Compared with IDT72V2115L15PF and SN74ABT3612-30PCB, SN74ABT3614-30PCB uniquely delivers 36-bit-wide bus matching with runtime endian and byte-swap control plus dual mailbox registers - making it irreplaceable in applications requiring protocol-aware bridging without FPGA logic overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported clock frequency for SN74ABT3614-30PCB?
The SN74ABT3614-30PCB supports clock frequencies up to 67 MHz on both CLKA and CLKB inputs. This specification is guaranteed across the full commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and defines the upper limit for reliable synchronous data transfer through either port. Exceeding this frequency may result in timing violations or metastability in flag outputs.
Does SN74ABT3614-30PCB support independent clock domains?
Yes, SN74ABT3614-30PCB explicitly supports independent, asynchronous clock domains via separate free-running CLKA and CLKB inputs. Its two-stage synchronized flags (EFA/FFA/AEA/AFA on CLKA; EFB/FFB/AEB/AFB on CLKB) ensure reliable status reporting across clock boundaries without external synchronizers.
How does the mailbox-bypass functionality work in SN74ABT3614-30PCB?
SN74ABT3614-30PCB includes two 36-bit mailbox registers (Mail1 and Mail2), each with dedicated status flags (MBF1 and MBF2). Writing to Mail1 occurs on CLKB when CSB, W/RB, ENB are active and SIZ0/SIZ1 are high; reading occurs similarly. Mail2 is accessed via Port-A using MBA. Flags go low on write and high on successful read - enabling handshake-free command passing.
Can SN74ABT3614-30PCB perform byte-order swapping on Port-B?
Yes, SN74ABT3614-30PCB supports four byte-order swapping modes on Port-B (no swap, byte swap, word swap, byte-word swap) selected by SW0 and SW1 inputs. These modes apply to all bus sizes (36/18/9-bit) and are synchronized to CLKB, enabling automatic data reordering for mixed-endian system integration.
What package type is used for SN74ABT3614-30PCB?
SN74ABT3614-30PCB uses a 120-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) designated "PCB" by Texas Instruments, with 0.4 mm lead pitch and JEDEC-standard footprint. This package is distinct from the 132-pin PQ package variant and is optimized for space-constrained commercial PCB layouts requiring thermal reliability.
