SN74ACT7205L20NP

FIFOs Memory Overview

The SN74ACT7205L20NP is an asynchronous FIFO memory integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a memory organization of 8K words by 9 bits, providing a total capacity of 73,728 bits. The device operates with a maximum access time of 20 nanoseconds and a cycle time of 25 nanoseconds. It utilizes a 28-pin PDIP package and supports 3-state outputs for bus interfacing. The component is designed for asynchronous operation modes.

FIFOs Memory Feature Summary

• Asynchronous first-in-first-out memory architecture
• High-speed data transfer capabilities
• Three-state output drivers for system bus compatibility

FIFOs Memory Applications

• Data buffering in digital communication systems
• Clock domain crossing interfaces
• Temporary storage in high-speed data acquisition circuits

FIFOs Memory Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix L20NP to confirm the 20ns speed grade and PDIP-28 package configuration. Ensure the RoHS status matches project requirements, as indicated by non-compliance in some records. Confirm active status and availability through authorized distributors before procurement.

FIFOs Memory Selection Notes

Select this component when an asynchronous FIFO with 8Kx9 depth and 20ns access speed is required. Consider the PDIP-28 through-hole package for prototyping or legacy board designs. Verify voltage levels and interface compatibility with the target system logic family.

FIFOs Memory Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74ACT series of logic devices from Texas Instruments. It is distinct from other variants like the SN74ACT7205L-50NP which offers slower performance. The 74ACT series generally provides CMOS performance with TTL-compatible inputs.

FIFOs Memory Replacement Considerations

The SN74ACT7205L-50NP is a related variant within the same family but offers a slower 50ns access time. Direct substitution requires verifying if the timing constraints of the application can accommodate the faster 20ns device without signal integrity issues.
