[net.micro] FIFO chips

henry@utzoo.UUCP (Henry Spencer) (08/23/85)

I'm seeking a particular variety of IC that I can't find in my own
databook collection (which is substantial but by no means complete).
What I want is a FIFO, at least 16x8, +5 only, with tri-state outputs.
No single-source chips need apply.  It doesn't need to be terribly fast.
Extra capacity is welcome but not very important.  In a pinch I'd be
willing to put a pair of compact ...x4 chips side-by-side, but the tri-state
outputs and the single power supply are necessary.

I've got some leads, but nothing at all definite.  I'd like to hear
about anything that might be suitable.  More specifically...  Is there
a second source for TRW's 1030?  Is the Z8060 a real part (my Zilog
databook is kind of old) with a second source?  Does the number "2812"
ring a bell, and if so, who makes it?

AMD second sources the Z8060 (it's been in production for a couple
of years) and makes the 2812 (second source Plessey, uses -12v).

No, no one else makes the TRW 1030.
The Z8060 is a real part but slo-ooow (over a microsecond cycle time).
2812 sort of sounds like an Intel number.

After years of domination of the FIFO market by MMI with their dinky
64x4 and 64x5 bubble-through FIFO's,
the market has finally stabilized on an good FIFO architecture with
good performance:

Mostek	4501	512x9	200, 150, 120, 80 ns access time

IDT	7201	512x9	120, 80, 65, 50 ns
	7202	1024x9	120, 80, 65, 50 ns


For reference the MMI parts are the 67401 (64x4) and 67402 (64x5),
with similar parts made by Cypress, Fairchild, and National.
TI's got some 16x4 and 16x5's (74LS222, 224, 227, 228, 74S225),
but they are small.

Here's some prices, current as of about April of 1984 (slightly old):
