7203L12TP

Overview

The Renesas 7203L12TP is an asynchronous FIFO memory integrated circuit with a storage capacity of 2K x 9 bits, totaling 18 kilobits. It features a 12 nanosecond access time and operates at a data rate of 50MHz. The device supports unidirectional bus architecture and requires a core voltage supply between 4.5V and 5.5V. Maximum power consumption is specified at 120mA. It is housed in a 28-PDIP package with a 0.300-inch (7.62mm) width, designed for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation with 12ns access time
• Unidirectional data transfer capability
• Supports 5.0V TTL interface levels
• Through-hole 28-pin DIP packaging

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' against official Renesas documentation to confirm the exact tape-and-reel or tube packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with 5.0V logic levels and check for lead-free status requirements. Confirm availability as this component may be subject to discontinuation notices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2K x 9 asynchronous FIFO is required with 12ns speed. Compare against other members of the 7200 series for density variations. Verify that the 28-DIP package fits the target PCB layout and that the 5.0V operating voltage matches the system power rails.

Part Context

The 7203L12TP belongs to the Renesas 7200 series of asynchronous FIFO memories. This family provides various densities and speeds for data buffering applications. The part is manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, formerly IDT, and follows standard industry pinouts for this class of memory devices.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Renesas PCN documents for approved substitutes. Cross-reference with other 7200 series parts like the 7203L12J8 for package differences. Verify functional equivalence before replacing.
