FIFO memories are used in digital signal processing systems for matching data paths with asynchronous clock or data rates. This document shows the SN74ACT3632 512?36?2 clocked FIFO as a single-chip bi-directional buffering solution that interfaces to the TI TMS320C3x and TMS320C4x floating-point DSP family. Programmable FIFO flags enable DMA control techniques that are used to handle the data flow
