Functional Description
The CY7C4261/71 are high-speed, low-power FIFO
memories with clocked read and write interfaces. All are nine
bits wide. The CY7C4261/71 are pin-compatible to the
CY7C42X1 Synchronous FIFO family. The CY7C4261/71 can
be cascaded to increase FIFO width. 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, multiprocessor interfaces, and
communications buffering.
These FIFOs have 9-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 two
write-enable pins (WEN1, WEN2/LD).
When WEN1 is LOW and WEN2/LD is HIGH, data is written
into the FIFO on the rising edge of the WCLK signal. While
WEN1, WEN2/LD is held active, data is continually written into
the FIFO on each WCLK cycle. The output port is controlled in
a similar manner by a free-running read clock (RCLK) and two
read enable pins (REN1, REN2). In addition, the CY7C4261/71
has an output enable pin (OE). The read (RCLK) and write
(WCLK) 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. Depth expansion is possible using one enable
input for system control, while the other enable is controlled by
expansion logic to direct the flow of data.

Functional Description
(continued)
The CY7C4261/71 provides four status pins: Empty, Full,
Programmable Almost Empty, and Programmable Almost Full.
The Almost Empty/Almost Full flags are programmable to
single word granularity. The programmable flags default to
Empty + 7 and Full – 7.
The 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 and Almost Empty states, the
flags are updated exclusively by the RCLK. The flags denoting
Almost Full, and Full states are updated exclusively by WCLK.
The synchronous flag architecture guarantees that the flags
maintain their status for at least one cycle.
All configurations are fabricated using an advanced 0.5µ
CMOS technology. Input ESD protection is greater than
2001V, and latch-up is prevented by the use of guard rings.

(WCLK). Data is stored in the RAM array sequentially and
independently of any on-going read operation.
Programming
When WEN2/LD is held LOW during Reset, this pin is the load
(LD) enable for flag offset programming. In this configuration,
WEN2/LD can be used to access the four 8-bit offset registers
contained in the CY7C4261/71 for writing or reading data to
these registers.
When the device is configured for programmable flags and
both WEN2/LD and WEN1 are LOW, the first LOW-to-HIGH
transition of WCLK writes data from the data inputs to the
empty offset least significant bit (LSB) register. The second,
third, and fourth LOW-to-HIGH transitions of WCLK store data
in the empty offset most significant bit (MSB) register, full offset
LSB register, and full offset MSB register, respectively, when
WEN2/LD and WEN1 are LOW. The fifth LOW-to-HIGH
transition of WCLK while WEN2/LD and WEN1 are LOW
writes data to the empty LSB register again.

the registers sizes and default values for the various device
types.

Architecture
The CY7C4261/71 consists of an array of 16K to 32K words
of nine bits each (implemented by a dual-port array of SRAM
cells), a read pointer, a write pointer, control signals (RCLK,
WCLK, REN1, REN2, WEN1, WEN2, RS), and flags (EF, PAE,
PAF, FF).
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 (Q
0−8
) go LOW
t
RSF
after the rising edge of RS. 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. All flags are
guaranteed to be valid t
RSF
after RS is taken LOW.
FIFO Operation
When the WEN1 signal is active LOW, WEN2 is active HIGH,
and FF is active HIGH, data present on the D
0−8
pins is written
into the FIFO on each rising edge of the WCLK signal.
Similarly, when the REN1 and REN2 signals are active LOW
and EF is active HIGH, data in the FIFO memory will be
presented on the Q
0−8
outputs. New data will be presented on
each rising edge of RCLK while REN1 and REN2 are active.
REN1 and REN2 must set up t
ENS
before RCLK for it to be a
valid read function. WEN1 and WEN2 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
0−8
outputs when OE is asserted. When OE is enabled (LOW),
data in the output register will be available to the Q
0−8
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
0−8
outputs
even after additional reads occur.
Write Enable 1 (WEN1).
If the FIFO is configured for program-
mable flags, Write Enable 1 (WEN1) is the only write enable
control pin. In this configuration, when Write Enable 1 (WEN1)
is LOW, data can be loaded into the input register and RAM
array on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every write clock
(WCLK). Data is stored is the RAM array sequentially and
independently of any on-going read operation.
Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD).
This is a dual-purpose pin.
The FIFO is configured at Reset to have programmable flags
or to have two write enables, which allows for depth
expansion. If Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is set active
HIGH at Reset (RS = LOW), this pin operates as a second
write enable pin.
If the FIFO is configured to have two write enables, when Write
Enable (WEN1) is LOW and Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD)
is HIGH, data can be loaded into the input register and RAM
array on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every write clock

Figure 1. Offset Register Location and Default Values
It is not necessary to write to all the offset registers at one time.
A subset of the offset registers can be written; then by bringing
the WEN2/LD input HIGH, the FIFO is returned to normal read
and write operation. The next time WEN2/LD is brought LOW,
a write operation stores data in the next offset register in
sequence.
The contents of the offset registers can be read to the data
outputs when WEN2/LD is LOW and both REN1 and REN2
are LOW. LOW-to-HIGH transitions of RCLK read register
contents to the data outputs. Writes and reads should not be
performed simultaneously on the offset registers.
Programmable Flag (PAE, PAF) Operation
Whether the flag offset registers are programmed
described in
Table 1
or the default values are used,
programmable almost-empty flag (PAE) (PAF) states

The number formed by the empty offset least significant bit
register and empty offset most significant bit register is
referred to as
n
and determines the operation of PAE. PAF is
synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK by one
flip-flop and is LOW when the FIFO contains n or fewer unread
words. PAE is set HIGH by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of
RCLK when the FIFO contains (n+1) or greater unread words.
The number formed by the full offset least significant bit
register and full offset most significant bit register is referred to
as
m
and determines the operation of PAF. PAE is synchronized
to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK by one flip-flop and is
set LOW when the number of unread words in the FIFO is
greater than or equal to CY7C4261 (16K-m) and CY7C4271
(32K-m). PAF is set HIGH by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of
WCLK when the number of available memory locations is
greater than m.

Width-Expansion Configuration
Word width may be increased simply by connecting the corre-
sponding input controls signals of multiple devices. A
composite flag should be created for each of the end-point
status flags (EF and FF). The partial status flags (PAE and PAF)
can be detected from any one device.
Figure 2
demonstrates
a 18-bit word width by using two CY7C4261/71s. Any word
width can be attained by adding additional CY7C4261/71s.
When the CY7C4261/71 is in a Width-Expansion Configu-
ration, the Read Enable (REN2) control input can be grounded
(see
Figure 2).
In this configuration, the Write Enable 2/Load
(WEN2/LD) pin is set to LOW at Reset so that the pin operates
as a control to load and read the programmable flag offsets.
Flag Operation
The CY7C4261/71 devices provide four flag pins to indicate
the condition of the FIFO contents. Empty, Full, PAE, and PAF
are synchronous.
Full Flag
The Full Flag (FF) will go LOW when the device is full. Write
operations are inhibited whenever FF is LOW regardless of the
state of WEN1 and WEN2/LD. FF is synchronized to WCLK, i.e.,
it is exclusively updated by each rising edge of WCLK.
Empty Flag
The Empty Flag (EF) will go LOW when the device is empty.
Read operations are inhibited whenever EF is LOW,
regardless of the state of REN1 and REN2. EF is synchronized
to RCLK, i.e., it is exclusively updated by each rising edge of
RCLK.
Notes:
1. The same selection sequence applies to reading from the registers. REN1 and REN2 are enabled and a read is performed on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK.
2. n = Empty Offset (n = 7 default value).
3. m = Full Offset (m = 7 default value).
