The 72255 is an 8K x 18 SuperSync FIFO memory with clocked read and write controls. The Frequency Select pin (FS) has been removed, thus it is no longer necessary to select which of the two clock inputs, RCLK or WCLK, is running at the higher frequency. SuperSync FIFOs are particularly appropriate for networking, video, telecommunications, data communications and other applications that need to buffer large amounts of data.
