The IC component IDT54FCT821HATEB is a high-performance asynchronous FIFO (First-In, First-Out) memory chip manufactured by Integrated Device Technology (IDT). It is commonly used in various applications where data buffering and synchronization are critical.
This FIFO memory chip has several key features that make it ideal for demanding applications. Firstly, it has a storage capacity of 2048 x 9 bits. This means it can store up to 2048 words of 9-bit data. The chip also supports a wide range of operating frequencies, from slow speeds for low-power applications to high speeds for high-performance systems.
One of the most important features of the IDT54FCT821HATEB is its asynchronous nature. This means that it can accept data inputs and provide outputs independently of the clock signal. It allows the chip to operate with different clock rates at the input and output sides, making it suitable for interfacing between systems with different clock frequencies.
To facilitate ease of integration into larger systems, the IDT54FCT821HATEB supports both parallel and serial data interfaces. Users can choose between using 9-bit parallel inputs/outputs or serial inputs/outputs, depending on the requirements of their application.
The chip also includes advanced features such as programmable Almost-Empty and Almost-Full flags, which provide status indications when the FIFO is almost empty or almost full
