Product details
Overview
SN74ABT7819A-30PN from Texas Instruments is a clocked bidirectional FIFO memory IC with two independent 512 × 18 dual-port SRAM buffers operating in opposite directions, 33.3 MHz maximum clock frequency, 9 ns access time at 50-pF load, and programmable almost-full/almost-empty flags. It enables asynchronous data bridging between microprocessors or buses with independent CLKA/CLKB clocks.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT7819A-30PN datasheet, SN74ABT7819A-30PN pinout, SN74ABT7819A-30PN application, or SN74ABT7819A-30PN equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-clock domain 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 control logic.
Technical Context
The SN74ABT7819A-30PN implements two physically separate 512-word × 18-bit FIFOs (FIFOA–B and FIFOB–A) sharing a single die but operating with fully independent clock domains (CLKA and CLKB), each with dedicated input-ready (IRA/IRB) and output-ready (ORA/ORB) flags synchronized to their respective clocks. Control logic supports microprocessor interface via CSA/CSB, W/RA/W/RB, RENA/RENB, and WENA/WENB with high-impedance output enable.
Flag generation uses two-stage synchronization to eliminate metastability; AF/AEA and AF/AEB offsets are programmable via A0–A7/B0–B7 during reset using PENA/PENB strobes, supporting custom almost-full (Y) and almost-empty (X) thresholds up to 255 words. The device employs advanced BiCMOS technology for low-power, high-speed operation across 0°C to 70°C.

Pinout & Package
SN74ABT7819A-30PN is housed in 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 for PN packages as documented in SCBS756.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Port-A bidirectional data bus | 18-bit I/O path for FIFOA–B writes and FIFOB–A reads; high-impedance when CSA or W/RA high. |
| B0–B17 | Port-B bidirectional data bus | 18-bit I/O path for FIFOB–A writes and FIFOA–B reads; high-impedance when CSB or W/RB high. |
| CLKA / CLKB | Free-running synchronous clocks | Independent clock inputs governing all port-A and port-B transfers; support asynchronous or coincident operation. |
| CSA / CSB | Port chip select | Active-low enables for port-A and port-B; required low for any read/write access and output driver activation. |
| W/RA / W/RB | Port write/read direction control | High = write to local FIFO; Low = read from remote FIFO; determines A0–A17/B0–B17 driver state. |
| WENA / WENB | Write enable | Active-high gate for writing data into FIFOA–B (via A0–A17) or FIFOB–A (via B0–B17) on clock rising edge. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clocked FIFO memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT72V251L15PF | 3.3-V LVCMOS interface, 512 × 18 depth, 15-ns access, different pinout and flag architecture (no AF/AE programmability). | Requires level-shifting for 5-V systems; lacks software-tunable almost-full thresholds, limiting dynamic flow control. | Choose when migrating to 3.3-V infrastructure and flag simplicity is acceptable. |
| SN74ACT7819A-20PN | Same 5-V ABT family, identical pinout and function, but rated for 50-MHz max clock ('7819A-20 speed grade). | Higher timing margin for slower systems; identical thermal profile and flag behavior, drop-in replacement if speed headroom exists. | Choose when design operates below 33.3 MHz and prioritizes proven reliability over marginal speed gain. |
Compared with IDT72V251L15PF and SN74ACT7819A-20PN, the SN74ABT7819A-30PN uniquely combines 5-V TTL compatibility, programmable AF/AE thresholds, and 33.3-MHz operation in a thermally optimized PN package-making it optimal for legacy-system upgrades requiring precise flow control without voltage conversion.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ABT7819A-30PN?
The SN74ABT7819A-30PN supports a maximum clock frequency of 33.3 MHz for both CLKA and CLKB inputs, as defined by the '7819A-30 speed grade in the SCBS756 datasheet. This rating assumes operation within recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C) and 50-pF load. Exceeding this frequency may violate setup/hold timing and cause data corruption.
How do the AF/AEA and AF/AEB flags work on the SN74ABT7819A-30PN?
The AF/AEA and AF/AEB flags on the SN74ABT7819A-30PN indicate when FIFOA–B or FIFOB–A contains ≤X (almost-empty) or ≥(512−Y) (almost-full) words. X and Y offsets are programmed via A0–A17/B0–B17 during reset using PENA/PENB strobes. Default values are X = Y = 128, yielding thresholds at 128 and 384 words respectively.
Can the SN74ABT7819A-30PN operate with asynchronous CLKA and CLKB clocks?
Yes, the SN74ABT7819A-30PN explicitly supports asynchronous CLKA and CLKB operation. Its dual-clock architecture allows independent timing domains, with all status flags (IRA, ORA, IRB, ORB, AF/AEA, AF/AEB) synchronized to their respective clocks to prevent metastability. No phase alignment or frequency relationship is required between CLKA and CLKB.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74ABT7819A-30PN package?
The SN74ABT7819A-30PN uses an 80-pin Thin Plastic Quad Flatpack (PN) package with a thermal resistance θJA of 62°C/W, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table of SCBS756. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions and informs heatsink or airflow requirements for sustained 33.3-MHz operation.
Does the SN74ABT7819A-30PN require external pull-up resistors on its control pins?
No, the SN74ABT7819A-30PN does not require external pull-up resistors on control pins like CSA, CSB, W/RA, W/RB, RENA, RENB, WENA, or WENB. These inputs have TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and sufficient internal noise immunity for direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or FPGA outputs driving 0 V / 5 V logic levels.
