Retransmit capability — why it matters on a repair bench
This FIFO supports retransmit, meaning you can reset the read pointer back to the first unread word without clearing the entire memory. On a board that's flagging intermittent data-loss faults, that retransmit pin is the first thing to scope — if it's toggling when it shouldn't be, the upstream controller is misbehaving, not the FIFO. The part also lacks programmable flags and FWFT support, so flag logic is limited to the standard Empty and Full outputs.
Sourcing this part — quoted to order
The Bulk packaging means it ships in tubes or trays, not tape-and-reel, so factor that into your pick-and-place setup if you're running high-volume.
