by the 4096-word LH540245. Six active bits are used
for the Control Register, by both the LH540235 and
the LH540245 . There is no restriction on the values which
may occur in these offset-value and Control-Register
fields. However, reserved bit positions must be encoded
LOW, in order to maintain forward compatibility.
registers does not have to occur all at one time, or to be
effected by one single sequence of steps. Whenever LD
is being asserted (is LOW) but WEN is not being asserted
(is HIGH), the FIFO’s internal programmable-register-
write-address pointer maintains its present value, without
any writing actually taking place at each rising edge of
WCLK (see Table 3). Thus, for instance, one or two
programmable registers may be written, after which the
FIFO may be returned to normal FIFO-array-read/write
operation by deasserting LD (to HIGH).

mable registers does not have to occur all at one time, or

LD is being asserted (is LOW) but REN is not being
asserted (is HIGH), the FIFO’s internal programmable-
register-read-address pointer maintains its present value,
without any reading actually taking place at each rising

FIRST LOAD/ RETRANSMIT ( FL /RT)
signals which select the grouping mode in which the FIFO
operates after being reset; the other three of these input
signals are WXI/ WEN
are four possible grouping modes: standalone, inter-
locked paralleled , cascaded ‘master’ or ‘first-load,’ and
cascaded ‘slave.’ The designations ‘master’ and ‘slave’
pertain to IDT-compatible depth cascading. Tables 1 and
2 show the signal encodings which select each grouping
mode.
should be grounded for strict IDT72235B/45B-compatible
operation. However, if it is taken HIGH, regardless of
the state of the EMODE control input, the FIFO’s
internal read-address pointer is reset to address the
FIFO’s first physical memory location, without the
other usual reset actions being taken; in particular,
the FIFO’s internal write-address pointer is unaf-
fected. Subsequent read operations may then again
read out the same block of data, delimited by the
FIFO’s first physical memory location and the current
value of the write pointer, as was read out previously.
There is no limit on the number of times that a block
of data may be retransmitted. The only restrictions
are that neither the read-address pointer nor the
write-address pointer may ‘wrap around’ and address
the FIFO’s first physical memory location a second
time during the retransmission process, and that the
retransmit facility is unavailable during cascaded opera-
tion.
grounded for the ‘master’ or ‘first-load’ FIFO, to distinguish
it from the other ‘slave’ FIFOs in the cascade, which must
all have their FL/ RT inputs HIGH during a reset operation
(see again Tables 1 and 2). The cascade will not operate
correctly either without any ‘master’ FIFO, or with more
than one ‘master’ FIFO.
