7201LA15SOGI8

Overview

The Renesas 7201LA15SOGI8 is an asynchronous FIFO memory device with a storage capacity of 4.5K bits, organized as 512 words by 9 bits. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports a maximum data rate of 40 MHz. The component features a 15 ns access time and is housed in a 28-SOIC package. It functions as a unidirectional buffer with relay capability and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation for independent read and write clock domains
• Unidirectional data bus configuration
• Integrated relay capability for signal buffering

Applications

• Data buffering between different clock domains
• Interface bridging in high-speed digital systems
• Temporary data storage in communication protocols

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GI8 against official Renesas documentation to confirm the SOIC-28 package and industrial temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with 4.5V to 5.5V logic levels. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status through current datasheets before integration into designs requiring environmental certification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512x9 word depth is required for unidirectional asynchronous buffering. It is suitable for applications needing 40 MHz throughput with 15 ns latency. Consider the 28-SOIC footprint for surface-mount assembly. Verify that the 4.5V minimum supply voltage aligns with the system power architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas 7200 series of FIFO memories. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the 7201LA15JGI8 but differs in package type and operating temperature range. The series provides standard parallel interface solutions for memory buffering tasks.

Replacement Considerations

The IDT7201LA15SOGI8 is listed as an alias for this component. Verify pinout and electrical specifications match exactly before substitution. Other family members may require level shifting or have different thermal ratings.
