SN74ACT7203L50NP

FIFOs Memory Overview

The SN74ACT7203L50NP is an asynchronous FIFO memory device manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a memory organization of 2K x 9 bits, providing a total capacity of 18 kilobits. The component supports unidirectional data transfer with a maximum clock frequency of 15 MHz and a typical access time of 50 ns. It is housed in a 28-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP). The device operates within a standard voltage range and includes three-state outputs for bus interfacing.

FIFOs Memory Feature Summary

• Asynchronous operation allows independent read and write clock domains
• Unidirectional data flow architecture simplifies interface design
• Three-state outputs enable direct connection to system buses

FIFOs Memory Applications

• Buffering data between asynchronous logic subsystems
• Data rate matching in communication interfaces
• Temporary storage in digital signal processing chains

FIFOs Memory Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '50NP' confirms the 50 ns speed grade and PDIP-28 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as lead-containing variants exist in this series. Ensure the supplier provides official Texas Instruments documentation to validate the ACT logic family specifications and electrical characteristics before integration.

FIFOs Memory Selection Notes

Select this component when an asynchronous buffer is required for 9-bit wide data paths. The 2K depth suits applications needing moderate latency tolerance. Verify that the 15 MHz operating frequency meets system timing requirements. Consider the PDIP package constraints if surface-mount space is limited.

FIFOs Memory Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74ACT series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as a specialized memory solution within the broader Texas Instruments logic portfolio, designed to replace older TTL-based FIFOs with faster, lower-power alternatives while maintaining compatible pinouts.

FIFOs Memory Replacement Considerations

SN74ACT7201LA50NP offers similar functionality with different speed or package variations. SN74ACT7203L50NP is the base part number; verify if alternative suffixes provide identical electrical performance for direct substitution.
