SN74ACT7200L20DV

Overview

The SN74ACT7200L20DV is an asynchronous FIFO memory IC manufactured by Texas Instruments. It provides a storage capacity of 256 x 9 bits, totaling 2.25K bits. The device operates with a power-supply voltage of 5V and features a propagation delay speed of 20ns. It is configured as a dual, unidirectional circuit in a 28-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Asynchronous first-in-first-out memory architecture for data buffering
• Unidirectional data flow configuration
• CMOS technology implementation

Applications

• Data buffering between asynchronous clock domains
• Interface bridging in digital systems
• Temporary data storage in high-speed logic circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix L20DV against the official Texas Instruments datasheet to confirm pinout, temperature range, and electrical characteristics match your design requirements. Ensure the 28-SOIC package dimensions are compatible with your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a unidirectional asynchronous FIFO with 256x9 bit depth is required. Consider the 20ns speed and 5V operation voltage. Verify that the CMOS technology and SOIC packaging meet the environmental and physical constraints of the target application compared to synchronous alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74ACT series of advanced CMOS logic devices from Texas Instruments. The ACT series is designed for high-speed applications with reduced power consumption compared to standard TTL. The SN74ACT7200 specifically addresses memory buffering needs within this logic family.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the Texas Instruments cross-reference guide for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the 256x9 configuration, asynchronous operation, and 28-SOIC package compatibility.
