7201LA15JGI

Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7201LA15JGI is an asynchronous First-In, First-Out (FIFO) memory device belonging to the 7201L series. It features a storage organization of 512 words by 9 bits, providing a total capacity of 4.5K bits. The component operates with a maximum access time of 15 nanoseconds and supports data rates up to 40 MHz. It functions within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and draws a maximum supply current of 80 mA. The device utilizes a 32-pin PLCC surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation for independent read and write clock domains
• Uni-directional bus architecture for data buffering
• CMOS technology for low power consumption
• Relay capability support

Applications

• Data buffering in graphics systems
• Local area network interface buffering
• Interprocessor communication links

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as documentation indicates detailed requirements rather than simple compliance. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly. Ensure the specific suffix JGI corresponds to the 32-PLCC package variant. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512x9 asynchronous FIFO with 15ns access time is required. Compare against the 7201LA12 variants if faster 12ns performance is needed. Consider the 7201LA15JI8 as a direct substitute if available, noting its discontinued status. Verify package compatibility with the PCB footprint design for the 32-PLCC form factor.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas 7201L family of CMOS parallel FIFOs. These devices are designed for high-speed data transfer applications requiring reliable buffering between asynchronous systems. The 7201L series offers various speed grades and organizational options to suit different system timing constraints.

Replacement Considerations

The IDT7201LA15JGI8 is listed as a direct replacement part number for this component.
