SN74ACT7203L25NP

FIFOs Memory Overview

The SN74ACT7203L25NP is an asynchronous FIFO memory device manufactured by Texas Instruments. It provides a unidirectional data path with a capacity of 18 kilobits, organized as 2K words by 9 bits. The component operates at a maximum clock frequency of 28.5 MHz and features a propagation delay of 25 nanoseconds. It is housed in a 28-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP).

FIFOs Memory Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation allows independent read and write clock domains.
• Unidirectional data flow simplifies interface design for buffer applications.
• Daisy-chain capability supports cascading multiple devices for expanded depth.

FIFOs Memory Applications

• Data buffering between asynchronous systems
• Clock domain crossing interfaces
• High-speed serial-to-parallel conversion buffers

FIFOs Memory Procurement Notes

Verify the package type matches the required footprint, specifically the 28-pin PDIP configuration. Confirm the speed grade suffix corresponds to the 25ns performance requirement. Ensure the manufacturer is Texas Instruments to guarantee compatibility with standard SN74ACT logic families. Check for RoHS compliance if environmental regulations apply to the assembly process.

FIFOs Memory Selection Notes

Select this component when an asynchronous FIFO with 18-bit total depth is required. The 25ns speed grade suits moderate-frequency applications up to 28.5MHz. Consider the PDIP package only for through-hole prototyping or specific legacy board designs requiring plastic DIP mounting.

FIFOs Memory Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74ACT series of advanced CMOS logic devices from Texas Instruments. It is designed for high-speed digital systems requiring reliable data storage and transfer between different clock domains without synchronization overhead.

FIFOs Memory Replacement Considerations

Check for SN74ACT7203 variants with different speed grades or package options from Texas Instruments. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with other manufacturers' asynchronous FIFOs.
