This application note considers general interfacing issues betweenthe Cypress CY7B923/CY7B933 (HOTLink™) Transmitter/Receiver and Cypress clocked FIFOs. The focus is onapplications with a 36-bit data bus requiring high data transferrates. A parallel FIFO solution is recommended for applicationsrequiring large data bandwidth. Four FIFOs can achieveparallel data transfers on and off a 36-bit bus at rates of up to280 Mbytes/s. The HOTLink serial link can transfer data at aserial rate of 330 Mbits/s. The FIFOs act as asynchronousstorage buffers between the data bus and the serial link.
