APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Standalone Configuration
When depth cascading is not required for a given
application, the LH540215/25 is placed in standalone
mode by tying the two Expansion In pins WXI/
WEN
2
and
RXI/
REN
2
to ground, while also holding the First
Load/Retransmit pin FL/
RT
LOW for the duration of any
reset operation. (See Table 1.) Subsequently, FL/
RT
may
be taken HIGH at will, whenever a retransmit operation is
desired. If not being used, FL/RT also may be tied to
ground, as shown in Figure 26.
Width Expansion
Word-width expansion is implemented by placing mul-
tiple LH540215/25 devices in parallel. Each device should
be configured for standalone mode, unless the depth of
one single FIFO is not adequate for the application. In this
event, word-width expansion may in principle be used
with either of the two depth-cascading schemes sup-
ported by the LH540215/25 architecture. In practice, the
reliability benefits of interlocked-paralleled operation are
available only with the pipelining scheme, making it the
preferred alternative. (Refer to discussion in a later sec-
tion.)
