The CY7C436X4AV is a monolithic, high-speed, low-power,
CMOS Bidirectional Synchronous (clocked) FIFO memory
which supports cloc k freque ncies up to 133 M Hz an d h as read
access times as fast as 6 ns. Two independent 1K/4K/16K x
36 dual-port SRAM FIFOs on board each chip buffer data in
opposite directions. FIFO data on Port B can be input and
output in 36-bit, 18-bit, or 9-bit fo rmats wit h a choice of Big or
Little Endian configurations.
The CY7C436X4AV is a synchronous (clocked) FIFO, meaning each port emplo ys a sync hron ous int erf ace . All data t ransfers th rough a port are gate d to the LO W - to-HI GH trans iti on of
a port clock by enable signals. The clocks for each port are
independent of one another and can be asynchronous or coincident. The enables for each port are arranged to provide a
simple bidi rectional i nterfac e between microproces sors and/or
buses with synchronous control.
Communication b etw een each port ma y b ypas s the FIF Os via
two mailbox registers. The mailbox registers’ width matches
the selected P ort B bus width. Each mailbo x register has a f lag
(MBF1
and MBF2) to signal when new mail has been stored.
T w o kinds of reset are a vailab le on th e CY7C436X4A V : Master
Reset and Partial Reset . Master Rese t init ializ es t he read and
write pointers to the fi rst location of the memory array, configures the FIFO for Big or Little Endian byte arrangement and
selects serial flag programming, parallel flag program m ing, or
one of the three possible default flag offset settings, 8, 16, or
64. Each FIFO has its own independent Master Reset pin,
MRS1
and MRS2.
Partial Reset also sets the read and write pointers to the first
location of the memory. Unlike M aster Reset, any set tings existing prior to P artial Reset ( i.e., progr amming meth od and partial flag default offsets) are retained. Partial Reset is useful
since it permits fl ushing of the FI FO memory witho ut chang in g
any configuration settings. Each FIFO has its own, independent Partial Reset pin, PRS1
The CY7C436X4AV have two modes of operation: In the CY
Standard mode, the first word writt en to an empty FIFO is deposited into the memory array. A read operation is required to
access that word (along with all other words residing in memory). In the First-Word Fall-Through mode (FW FT), the first
and PRS2.
CY7C43664AV/CY7C43684AV
long-word (36-bit wide) written to an empty FIFO appears automatically on the out puts, no read operation required (nevertheless, accessing subsequent words does necessitate a formal read request). The state of the BE/FWFT
operation dete rmines t he mod e in use.
Each FIFO has a combined Empty/Output Ready flag (EFA
ORA and EFB
(FFA
/IRA and F FB/IRB). The EF a nd FF func tions ar e select ed
in the CY Standard mode. EF
is full or not. The IR and OR functions are sele cted in the First Word F all- Through mode. IR indi cates whet her or not the FIFO
has ava il able memory locations. OR shows whet her the FIFO
has data available for read ing or not. It marks the presence of
valid data on the outputs.
Each FIFO has a programmable Al mo st Empty flag (AEA
AEB
) and a programmable Almost Full flag (AFA and AFB).
AEA
and AEB indicate when a selected number of words written to FIFO memory achieve a predetermined “almost empty
state.” AFA
words written t o the m emory achi ev e a predet ermined “almost
full sta te.”
IRA, IRB, AFA
writes data into its array. ORA, ORB, AEA
chronized to th e port clock that reads data from its arr ay. Programmable offset for AEA
parallel usi ng Port A or i n serial v ia the SD i nput. Three d efault
offset settings are also pro vided . The AEA
can be set at 8, 16, or 64 locations from the empty boundary
and AF A
from the full boundary. All these choices are made using the
FS0 and FS1 inputs during Master Reset.
Two or more devices may be used in parallel to create wider
data paths. If at any time the FIFO is not actively performing a
function, the chip will automatically power down. During the
power down state, supply current consumption (I
minimum. Init iating any oper ati on (b y act iv atin g contr ol inputs )
will immediately take the device out of the Power Down state.
A Retransmit feature is available on these devices.
