Functional Description
The CY7C4275/85 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 the
CY7C42X5 Synchronous FIFO family. The CY7C4275/85 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 commu-
nications buffering.
These FIFOs have 18-bit input and output ports that are con-
trolled 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 continu-
ally 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 CY7C4275/85 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 devic-
es should be tied to V
CC
.

Functional Description
(continued)
The CY7C4275/85 provides five status pins. These pins are decoded
to determine one of five states: Empty, Almost Empty, Half Full, Al-
most Full, and Full (see
Table 2).
The Half Full flag shares the WXO
pin. This flag is valid in the stand-alone and width-expansion config-
urations. In the depth expansion, this pin provides the ex-
pansion 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. The Almost Empty/Almost Full flags
become synchronous if the VCC/SMODE is tied to VSS. 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.

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
/SMODE is tied to V

.
When LD is LOW, D
0–17
(Q
0–17
) 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 or width expansion, FL is tied
to V
SS
on all devices.
Not Cascaded – Tied to V
SS
. Retransmit function is also available in stand-alone
mode by strobing RT.
Cascaded – Connected to WXO of previous device.
Not Cascaded – Tied to V

.
Cascaded – Connected to RXO of previous device.
Not Cascaded – Tied to V
SS
.
Cascaded – Connected to RXI of next device.
Resets device to empty condition. A reset is required before an initial read or write
operation after power-up.
When OE is LOW, the FIFO’s data outputs drive the bus to which they are con-
nected. If OE is HIGH, the FIFO’s outputs are in High Z (high-impedance) state.
