Product details
Overview
SN74ABT7819A-15PN from Texas Instruments is a clocked bidirectional FIFO memory IC with two independent 512 × 18 dual-port SRAM buffers operating in opposite directions, 9 ns access time at 50-pF load, 100 MHz max clock frequency, and programmable almost-full/almost-empty flags. It enables asynchronous data bridging between microprocessor buses with independent CLKA/CLKB clocks.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT7819A-15PN datasheet, SN74ABT7819A-15PN pinout, SN74ABT7819A-15PN application, or SN74ABT7819A-15PN equivalent, key selection factors include dual-clock synchronization, 18-bit bidirectional port timing, flag programmability (AF/AEA/AF/AEB), thermal performance (θJA = 62°C/W), and compatibility with 5-V TTL-level systems requiring deterministic latency control.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT7819A-15PN implements two physically separate 512-word × 18-bit FIFOs (FIFOA–B and FIFOB–A) sharing no internal memory space, each with fully independent clock domains (CLKA and CLKB), reset paths (RSTA/RSTB), and flag logic. All data transfers are edge-triggered on low-to-high clock transitions with enable gating via WENA/RENA/WENB/RENB.
Flag signals (IRA/ORA/IRB/ORB, AF/AEA/AF/AEB, HFA/HFB) are two-stage synchronized to their respective port clocks for metastability immunity. Programmable AF/AE offsets are latched from A0–A7/B0–B7 during dedicated CLKA/CLKB cycles under PENA/PENB control, supporting custom depth thresholds without firmware intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Depth × Width × Ports | 512 × 18 × 2 - Two independent FIFOs, each storing 512 words of 18-bit data, enabling full-duplex buffering across isolated clock domains. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 67 MHz - Guaranteed operation up to 67 MHz for CLKA and CLKB simultaneously, supporting high-throughput interconnects in telecom and datacom systems. |
| Access Time | 9 ns - Propagation delay from clock edge to valid output data (A0–A17/B0–B17) under 50-pF load, ensuring tight timing margins in synchronous designs. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Operates within standard 5-V TTL rail tolerance, compatible with legacy bus interfaces and industrial power supplies. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - Commercial-grade thermal range suitable for embedded computing, test equipment, and industrial controllers. |
| Package Thermal Impedance | 62°C/W - Measured θJA for PN package enables reliable thermal management in dense PCB layouts without forced air cooling. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT7819A-15PN uses an 80-pin Thin Plastic Quad Flatpack (PN) package with 0.5-mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows TI's standard top-view layout with dual 18-bit I/O banks (A0–A17, B0–B17), independent clock/enable/reset/control terminals, and dedicated flag outputs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Port-A bidirectional data bus | 18-bit I/O path for FIFOA–B; high-impedance when CSA or W/RA is high; active drive during read/write under CLKA-synchronized enable conditions. |
| B0–B17 | Port-B bidirectional data bus | 18-bit I/O path for FIFOB–A; high-impedance when CSB or W/RB is high; driven only when CLKB, CSB, W/RB, and RENB/WENB align per function table. |
| CLKA / CLKB | Free-running port clocks | Asynchronous or coincident continuous clocks; all port-A transfers synchronized to CLKA↑, all port-B transfers to CLKB↑; no phase relationship required between clocks. |
| CSA / CSB | Port chip select | Active-low enables for port-A and port-B; disables data bus drivers and blocks clock-gated transfers when deasserted. |
| W/RA / W/RB | Port write/read direction select | High = write mode (data flows into FIFO), Low = read mode (data flows out); controls A0–A17/B0–B17 driver direction and enables corresponding WENA/WENB or RENA/RENB paths. |
| RSTA / RSTB | Independent FIFO reset | Asynchronous active-low reset requiring four CLKA+CLKB edges to complete; resets pointers, flags (HFA/HFB low, AF/AEA/AF/AEB high), and internal state without affecting other FIFO. |
| AF/AEA / AF/AEB | Programmable almost-full/almost-empty flags | Open-drain outputs indicating FIFOA–B or FIFOB–A occupancy relative to user-defined X/Y thresholds; default 128-word offset unless reprogrammed via PENA/PENB sequence. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent clock domains | Enables true asynchronous data transfer between mismatched bus speeds (e.g., 66-MHz PCI ↔ 40-MHz DSP) without glue logic or clock domain crossing FIFOs. |
| Programmable AF/AE flag offsets | Allows runtime configuration of almost-full/almost-empty thresholds (X/Y = 0–255) via A0–A7/B0–B7 pins during reset, eliminating fixed-threshold design constraints. |
| Two-stage synchronized flags | IRA/ORA/IRB/ORB and AF/HF flags are double-synchronized to CLKA/CLKB, providing glitch-free, metastability-hardened handshaking for real-time control loops. |
| BiCMOS process technology | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power, achieving 9 ns access with <100 mA ICC (max) at 5.5 V, critical for thermally constrained applications. |
| 80-pin PN package | Thin QFP with 62°C/W thermal resistance supports higher sustained data rates than PH variant in space-constrained industrial modules. |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed clock frequency for SN74ABT7819A-15PN?
The SN74ABT7819A-15PN is rated for a maximum clock frequency of 67 MHz for both CLKA and CLKB under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This rating corresponds to the -15 speed grade and is verified with 50-pF load and specified setup/hold timing margins. Operation beyond 67 MHz is not guaranteed and may violate tsu/th constraints.
How do the programmable AF/AEA and AF/AEB flags work on SN74ABT7819A-15PN?
The SN74ABT7819A-15PN supports programmable almost-full/almost-empty thresholds via PENA and PENB inputs. After resetting FIFOA–B, asserting PENA low during CLKA low latches A0–A7 as the X (almost-empty) and Y (almost-full) offsets on the next CLKA↑. Similarly, PENB and B0–B7 program FIFOB–A. Default values are X = Y = 128 if PENA/PENB remain high. The SN74ABT7819A-15PN flag asserts high when FIFO depth ≤ X or ≥ (512 − Y).
Can SN74ABT7819A-15PN operate with CLKA and CLKB running at different frequencies?
Yes, the SN74ABT7819A-15PN explicitly supports asynchronous clock domains: CLKA and CLKB may run at different frequencies, phases, or even be stopped independently. Each FIFO's control logic (pointers, flags, data registers) is clocked exclusively by its assigned port clock, with no internal synchronization between domains. This allows seamless interfacing between, for example, a 50-MHz Ethernet MAC and a 33-MHz PCI host-exactly as designed into the SN74ABT7819A-15PN architecture.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74ABT7819A-15PN package?
SN74ABT7819A-15PN uses an 80-pin Thin Plastic Quad Flatpack (PN) package with a measured junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 62°C/W, per JESD 51–7 methodology. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and enables reliable operation up to 70°C ambient at full 100-MHz data rate with typical power dissipation (~95 mA ICC max at VCC = 5.5 V). The PN variant offers 10°C/W lower θJA than the PH package.
Does SN74ABT7819A-15PN require external pull-up resistors on its flag outputs?
Yes, SN74ABT7819A-15PN's AF/AEA, AF/AEB, HFA, HFB, IRA, ORA, IRB, and ORB outputs are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors to VCC (typically 4.7 kΩ) for proper logic-level assertion. This design allows wired-OR flag aggregation and voltage-level translation. The SN74ABT7819A-15PN datasheet specifies VO = 5.5 V max on outputs, confirming compatibility with standard 5-V pull-ups without damage.
