AM7203A-15RC

FIFOs Memory Overview

The AM7203A-15RC is an asynchronous FIFO memory component manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. It features a high-density storage capacity of 18K bits, organized as 2K x 9-bit words. The device supports unidirectional data transfer with a maximum data rate of 40MHz and an access time of 15ns. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The component is housed in a 28-pin PDIP package.

FIFOs Memory Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation for independent clock domains
• High-density CMOS memory architecture
• Unidirectional data flow capability

FIFOs Memory Applications

• Data buffering between microprocessors and peripherals
• Interface bridging for different clock speeds
• Temporary data storage in digital logic systems

FIFOs Memory Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation matches Advanced Micro Devices or authorized successors like AMD. Confirm the suffix 'RC' indicates the specific 15ns speed grade and PDIP28 package variant. Ensure RoHS compliance status aligns with current regulatory requirements for your assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm pinout compatibility with existing designs.

FIFOs Memory Selection Notes

Select this part when a 2K x 9 asynchronous buffer is required with 15ns performance. It suits applications needing 40MHz throughput without complex synchronization logic. Consider the 28-pin DIP form factor for through-hole prototyping or legacy board retention. Evaluate power consumption against system constraints given the CMOS technology.

FIFOs Memory Part Context

This component belongs to the AM7203 series of advanced CMOS FIFO memories. It provides a specialized solution for managing data flow in digital systems where timing differences exist between source and destination devices. The series is designed for reliability and ease of integration into standard logic circuits.

FIFOs Memory Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references from AMD or Advanced Micro Lites. Verify that any substitute maintains the 2Kx9 organization and 15ns access time. Ensure pin compatibility with the 28-PDIP footprint if physical replacement is necessary.
