Functional Description
The CY7C42X5 are high speed, low power, first-in first-out
(FIFO) memories with clocked read and write interfaces. All are
18 bits wide and are pin/functionally compatible to IDT722X5.
The CY7C42X5 can be cascaded to increase FIFO depth.
Programmable features include Almost Full/Almost Empty flags.
These FIFOs provide solutions for a wide variety of data
buffering needs, including high speed data acquisition, multipro-
cessor interfaces, and communications buffering.
These FIFOs have 18-bit input and output ports that are
controlled by separate clock and enable signals. The input port
is controlled by a free-running clock (WCLK) and a write enable
pin (WEN). When WEN is asserted, data is written into the FIFO
on the rising edge of the WCLK signal. While WEN is held active,
data is continually written into the FIFO on each cycle. The
output port is controlled in a similar manner by a free-running
read clock (RCLK) and a read enable pin (REN). In addition, the
CY7C42X5 have an output enable pin (OE). The read and write
clocks may be tied together for single-clock operation or the two
clocks may be run independently for asynchronous read/write
applications. Clock frequencies up to 100 MHz are achievable.
Retransmit and Synchronous Almost Full/Almost Empty flag
features are available on these devices.
Depth expansion is possible using the cascade input (WXI, RXI),
cascade output (WXO, RXO), and First Load (FL) pins. The
WXO and RXO pins are connected to the WXI and RXI pins of
the next device, and the WXO and RXO pins of the last device
should be connected to the WXI and RXI pins of the first device.
The FL pin of the first device is tied to VSS and the FL pin of all
the remaining devices should be tied to VCC.
The CY7C42X5 provides five status pins. These pins are
decoded to determine one of five states: Empty, Almost Empty,
Half Full, Almost Full, and Full (see Table 2). The Half Full flag
shares the WXO pin. This flag is valid in the standalone and
width-expansion configurations. In the depth expansion, this pin
provides the expansion out (WXO) information that is used to
signal the next FIFO when it will be activated.
The Empty and Full flags are synchronous, i.e., they change
state relative to either the read clock (RCLK) or the write clock
(WCLK). When entering or exiting the Empty states, the flag is
updated exclusively by the RCLK. The flag denoting Full states
is updated exclusively by WCLK. The synchronous flag archi-
tecture guarantees that the flags will remain valid from one clock
cycle to the next. As mentioned previously, the Almost
Empty/Almost Full flags become synchronous if the
VCC/SMODE is tied to VSS. All configurations are fabricated
using an advanced 0.65m N-Well CMOS technology. Input ESD
protection is greater than 2001V, and latch-up is prevented by
the use of guard rings.

Architecture
The CY7C42X5 consists of an array of 64 to 4K words of 18 bits
each (implemented by a dual-port array of SRAM cells), a read
pointer, a write pointer, control signals (RCLK, WCLK, REN,
WEN, RS), and flags (EF, PAE, HF, PAF, FF). The CY7C42X5
also includes the control signals WXI, RXI, WXO, RXO for depth
expansion.
Programming
The CY7C42X5 devices contain two 12-bit offset registers. Data
present on D
0–11
during a program write will determine the
distance from Empty (Full) that the Almost Empty (Almost Full)
flags become active. If the user elects not to program the FIFO’s
flags, the default offset values are used (see
Table 2).
When the
Load LD pin is set LOW and WEN is set LOW, data on the inputs
D
0–11
is written into the Empty offset register on the first
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the write clock (WCLK). When the LD
pin and WEN are held LOW then data is written into the Full offset
register on the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Write
Clock (WCLK). The third transition of the Write Clock (WCLK)
again writes to the Empty offset register (see
Table 1).
Writing all
offset registers does not have to occur at one time. One or two
offset registers can be written and then, by bringing the LD pin
HIGH, the FIFO is returned to normal read/write operation. When
the LD pin is set LOW, and WEN is LOW, the next offset register
in sequence is written.
The contents of the offset registers can be read on the output
lines when the LD pin is set LOW and REN is set LOW; then,
data can be read on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Read
Clock (RCLK).

Resetting the FIFO
Upon power-up, the FIFO must be reset with a Reset (RS) cycle.
This causes the FIFO to enter the Empty condition signified by
EF being LOW. All data outputs go LOW after the falling edge of
RS only if OE is asserted. In order for the FIFO to reset to its
default state, a falling edge must occur on RS and the user must
not read or write while RS is LOW.
FIFO Operation
When the WEN signal is active (LOW), data present on the D
0-17
pins is written into the FIFO on each rising edge of the WCLK
signal. Similarly, when the REN signal is active LOW, data in the
FIFO memory will be presented on the Q
0−17
outputs. New data
will be presented on each rising edge of RCLK while REN is
active LOW and OE is LOW. REN must set up t
ENS
before RCLK
for it to be a valid read function. WEN must occur t
ENS
before
WCLK for it to be a valid write function.
An Output Enable (OE) pin is provided to three-state the Q
0–17
outputs when OE is deasserted. When OE is enabled (LOW),
data in the output register will be available to the Q
0−17
outputs
after t
OE
. If devices are cascaded, the OE function will only
output data on the FIFO that is read enabled.
The FIFO contains overflow circuitry to disallow additional writes
when the FIFO is full, and underflow circuitry to disallow
additional reads when the FIFO is empty. An empty FIFO
maintains the data of the last valid read on its Q
0−17
outputs even
after additional reads occur.

Note:
