SN74ACT7203L15NP

FIFOs Memory Overview

The SN74ACT7203L15NP is an asynchronous FIFO memory device manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a storage capacity of 18K bits, organized as 2K words by 9 bits. The component supports unidirectional data transfer with a maximum clock frequency of 40 MHz and an access time of 15 ns. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and is housed in a 28-pin DIP package.

FIFOs Memory Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation for independent read and write clock domains
• Uni-directional data bus architecture
• CMOS technology for low power consumption

FIFOs Memory Applications

• Data buffering between microprocessors and peripheral devices
• Interface bridging between systems with different clock speeds
• Temporary data storage in high-speed digital logic circuits

FIFOs Memory Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L15NP' confirms the 15 ns access time and 28-pin DIP package variant. Ensure compatibility with 5V logic levels. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your manufacturing process. Check datasheet for exact pinout configuration against your PCB layout requirements.

FIFOs Memory Selection Notes

Select this part when asynchronous FIFO functionality is required with 18K bit depth. Suitable for applications needing 9-bit data width. Consider the 40 MHz speed limit and 15 ns latency. Compare with synchronous alternatives if clock domain crossing requires synchronization signals like full/empty flags managed internally.

FIFOs Memory Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74ACT series of advanced CMOS logic devices. It provides non-volatile-like buffering capabilities using static RAM structures. The ACT series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard LS or HC families while maintaining compatible pinouts for many legacy designs.

FIFOs Memory Replacement Considerations

Check for SN74ACT7203 variants with different access times or packages. Verify functional equivalence for other manufacturers offering 2Kx9 asynchronous FIFOs. Ensure voltage and interface compatibility before substitution.
