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 V
SS
and the
FL pin of all the remaining devices should be tied to V
CC
.
The CY7C42X5 provides five status pins. These pins are de-
coded 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
V
CC
/SMODE is tied to V
SS
. All configurations are fabricated
using an advanced 0.65µ N-Well CMOS technology. Input
ESD protection is greater than 2001V, and latch-up is prevent-
ed by the use of guard rings.
Functional Description
T
he 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,
multiprocessor interfaces, and communications buffering.
These FIFOs have 18-bit input and output ports that are con-
trolled by separate clock and enable signals. The input port is

The rising edge clocks data into the FIFO when WEN is LOW and the FIFO is not
Full. When LD is asserted, WCLK writes data into the programmable flag-offset
register.
The rising edge clocks data out of the FIFO when REN is LOW and the FIFO is not
Empty. When LD is asserted, RCLK reads data out of the programmable flag-off-
set register.
Dual-Mode Pin:
Single device or width expansion - Half Full status flag.
Cascaded - Write Expansion Out signal, connected to WXI of next device.
When EF is LOW, the FIFO is empty. EF is synchronized to RCLK.
When FF is LOW, the FIFO is full. FF is synchronized to WCLK.
When PAE is LOW, the FIFO is almost empty based on the almost-empty offset
value programmed into the FIFO. PAE is asynchronous when V
CC
/SMODE is tied
to V
CC
; it is synchronized to RCLK when V
CC
/SMODE is tied to V
SS
.
When PAF is LOW, the FIFO is almost full based on the almost full offset value
programmed into the FIFO. PAF is asynchronous when V
CC
/SMODE is tied to
V
CC
; it is synchronized to WCLK when V
CC

When LD is LOW, D

) are written (read) into (from) the programma-
ble-flag-offset register.
Dual-Mode Pin:
Cascaded - The first device in the daisy chain will have FL tied to V
SS
; all other
devices will have FL tied to V
CC
. In standard mode of width expansion, FL is tied
to V
SS
on all devices.
Not Cascaded - Tied to V
