7207L15PDG8

Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7207L15PDG8 is an asynchronous FIFO memory IC providing a storage capacity of 288K bits, organized as 32K words by 9 bits. It operates with a maximum data rate of 40MHz and features a typical access time of 15ns. The device supports unidirectional data flow and functions within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. It is housed in a 28-PDIP package and is designed for buffering applications in digital systems.

Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation allows independent read and write clock domains
• Unidirectional data flow architecture simplifies interface design
• High-speed performance with 15ns access time supports 40MHz data rates

Applications

• Buffering data between asynchronous digital subsystems
• Data flow control in high-speed communication interfaces
• Temporary storage in signal processing pipelines

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability from secondary markets. Confirm package integrity upon receipt, as the 28-PDIP form factor requires careful handling during installation. Check datasheet revisions for any pinout or electrical characteristic updates prior to final integration into hardware designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when unidirectional buffering is required for 9-bit wide data paths. Ensure system clocks remain within the specified 40MHz limit. Verify that the 28-PDIP footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Consider power consumption limits relative to the 4.5V to 5.5V operating range during thermal analysis.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 7207 series of asynchronous FIFOs manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It shares functional similarities with other members of the family but differs in specific storage depth and package configuration. The 7207 series is widely used in legacy and industrial digital systems requiring reliable data synchronization.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate cross-reference options only after verifying electrical compatibility and pin-to-pin equivalence with the original specifications.
