MING
Four registers in these devices are used to hold the offset values for the
Almost-EmptyandAlmost-Fullflags.TheportBAlmost-Emptyflag(AEB)Offset
register is labeled X1 and the port A Almost-Empty flag (AEA) Offset register
is labeled X2. The port A Almost-Full flag (AFA) Offset register is labeled Y1
and the port B Almost-Full flag (AFB) Offset register is labeled Y2. The index
ofeachregisternamecorrespondstoitsFIFOnumber.Theoffsetregisterscan
be loaded with preset values during the reset of a FIFO or they can be
programmed from port A (see Table 1).
FS0 and FS1 function the same way in both IDT Standard and FWFT
modes.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
RESET
Afterpowerup,aMasterResetoperationmustbeperformedbyproviding
a LOW pulse to RST1 and RST2 simultaneously. Afterwards, the FIFO
memories of the IDT72V3622/72V3632/72V3642 are reset separately by
taking their Reset (RST1, RST2) inputs LOW for at least four port-A Clock
(CLKA) and four port-B Clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The Reset
inputs can switch asynchronously to the clocks. A FIFO reset initializes the
internalreadandwritepointersandforcestheInputReadyflag(IRA,IRB)LOW,
theOutputReadyflag(ORA,ORB)LOW,theAlmost-Emptyflag(AEA,AEB)
LOW,andtheAlmost-Fullflag(AFA,AFB)HIGH. ResettingaFIFOalsoforces
the Mailbox Flag (MBF1, MBF2) of the parallel mailbox register HIGH. After

FIRST WORD FALL THROUGH (FWFT)
AfterMasterReset,theFWFTselectfunctionisactive,permittingachoice
between two possible timing modes: IDT Standard mode or First Word Fall
Through (FWFT) mode. Once the Reset (RST1, RST2) input is HIGH, a
HIGH on the FWFT input during the next LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA
(for FIFO1) and CLKB (for FIFO2) will select IDT Standard mode. This mode
uses the Empty Flag function (EFA, EFB) to indicate whether or not there
areanywordspresentintheFIFOmemory.ItusestheFullFlagfunction(FFA,
FFB) to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space for
writing. In IDT Standard mode, every word read from the FIFO, including the
first, must be requested using a formal read operation.
Once the Reset (RST1, RST2) input is HIGH, a LOW on the FWFT input
during the next LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA (for FIFO1) and CLKB (for
FIFO2) will select FWFT mode. This mode uses the Output Ready function
(ORA, ORB) to indicate whether or not there is valid data at the data outputs
(A0-A35orB0-B35).ItalsousestheInputReadyfunction(IRA,IRB)toindicate
whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space for writing. In the FWFT

NOTES:
1. X1 register holds the offset for AEB; Y1 register holds the offset for AFA.
2. X2 register holds the offset for AEA; Y2 register holds the offset for AFB.
