7201LA15TPGI

Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7201LA15TPGI is an asynchronous FIFO memory device belonging to the 7201L series. It features a storage capacity of 512 words by 9 bits, providing a total depth and width configuration suitable for parallel data buffering applications. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports a maximum data rate of 40 MHz with a typical access time of 15 ns. It utilizes a unidirectional bus architecture and is housed in a 32-PLCC package with J-leads, designed for surface-mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation allowing independent read and write clock domains
• Unidirectional bus direction for simplified interface integration
• Supports retransmit operations for data integrity management

Applications

• Parallel data buffering between asynchronous logic blocks
• Interface bridging in high-speed digital systems
• Data storage in communication equipment requiring low latency

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TPGI' against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Check current product lifecycle status as older FIFO families may be discontinued or subject to long lead times. Ensure the 32-PLCC footprint matches your PCB design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512x9 word asynchronous FIFO is required with 15 ns access speed. It is suitable for designs operating at standard 5V logic levels. Consider the PLCC package availability and soldering requirements compared to modern QFP or BGA alternatives. Verify that the unidirectional bus direction meets the system's data flow requirements without additional buffer components.

Part Context

The 7201L series represents a family of high-performance asynchronous FIFOs from Renesas (formerly IDT). These devices are designed for applications requiring reliable data buffering between different clock domains. The 7201LA15 variant specifically offers 15 ns performance, balancing speed and power consumption for general-purpose industrial and commercial electronic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the 7201L family or newer SuperSync FIFO generations. Verify functional compatibility regarding access times and voltage levels before substituting.
