A FIFO memory is a storage device that allows data to be writteninto and read from its array at independent data rates. TheSN74ALVC7804 is an 18-bit FIFO with high speed and fast access times.Data is processed at rates up to 40 MHz with access times of 18 ns ina bit-parallel format. The SN74ALVC7804 is designed for 3-V to 3.6-VVCC operation.
Data is written into memory on a low-to-high transition of theload clock (LDCK) and is read out on a low-to-high transition of theunload clock (UNCK). The memory is full when the number of wordsclocked in exceeds the number of words clocked out by 512. When thememory is full, LDCK has no effect on the data residing in memory.When the memory is empty, UNCK has no effect.
Status of the FIFO memory is monitored by the full (
output is low when the memory is full and high when thememory is not full. The
output is low when the memory is empty and high when it is not empty.The HF output is high whenever the FIFO contains 256 or more wordsand is low when it contains 255 or less words. The AF/AE status flagis a programmable flag. The first one or two low-to-high transitionsof LDCK after reset are used to program the almost-empty offset value(X) and the almost-full offset value (Y), if program enable (
A low level on the reset (
