DESCRIPTION:
The IDT72510 and IDT72520 are highly integrated first-in, first-out memories that enhance processor-to-processor and processor-to-peripheral communications. IDT BiFIFOs integrate two side-by-side memory arrays for data transfers in two directions.

FEATURES:
• Two side-by-side FIFO memory arrays for bidirectional data transfers
• 512 x 18-Bit – 1024 x 9-Bit (IDT72510)
• 1024 x 18-Bit – 2048 x 9-Bit (IDT72520)
• 18-bit data bus on Port A side and 9-bit data bus on Port B side
• Can be configured for 18-to-9-bit, 36-to-9-bit, or 36-to-18-bit communication
• Fast 25ns access time
• Fully programmable standard microprocessor interface
• Built-in bypass path for direct data transfer between two ports
• Two fixed flags, Empty and Full, for both the A-to-B and the B-to-A FIFO
• Two programmable flags, Almost-Empty and Almost-Full for each FIFO
• Programmable flag offset can be set to any depth in the FIFO
• Any of the eight internal flags can be assigned to four external flag pins
• Flexible reread/rewrite capabilities.
• On-chip parity checking and generation
• Standard DMA control pins for data exchange with peripherals
• IDT72510 and IDT72520 available in the the 52-pin PLCC package
