7204L12TP

Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7204L12TP is an asynchronous FIFO memory integrated circuit featuring a storage capacity of 36K bits, organized as 4K words by 9 bits. It operates with a maximum data rate of 50MHz and supports a minimum access time of 12ns. The device functions within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and draws a maximum supply current of 120mA. Designed for unidirectional bus operation, it utilizes a 28-pin PDIP package suitable for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Asynchronous memory architecture enabling independent read and write clock domains
• Supports depth and width expansion for customized memory configurations
• Includes relay capability for signal buffering applications

Applications

• Data buffering in high-speed digital systems
• Interface bridging between components operating at different clock speeds
