The CY7C436X3AV is a monolithic, high-speed, low-power,
CMOS Unidirectional Synchronous FIFO memory which supports clock frequencies up to 133 MHz and has read access
times as fast as 6 ns.
The CY7C436X3AV 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 unidirectional interf ace between microprocessors 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 CY7C436X3A 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, confi gures the FIFO for Big or Little Endian byte arrangement, and
selects serial flag programming, parallel flag programming, or
one of the three possible default flag offset settings, 8, 16, or
64. The FIFO also has two Master Reset pins, MRS1
MRS2
.
Partial Reset also sets the read and write pointers to the first
location of the memory . Unlike Master Reset, any settings 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. The FIFO has its own i ndependent
Partial Re s e t pin, PRS
The CY7C436X3AV have two modes of operation: In the CY
Standard Mode, the first word written to an em pty 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 (FWFT ), the fi rst

long-word (36-bit wide) written to an empty FIFO appe ars automatically on the out puts, no read operation required (nevertheless, accessing subsequent words does necessitate a formal read request). The state of the FWFT
FIFO operation determines the mode in use.
The FIFO has a combined Empty/Output Ready flag (EF
and a combi ned Full/Input Ready flag (FF
functions are select ed in the CY Standard Mode. EF indicat es
whether the memory is ful l or not. The IR and OR funct ions are
selected in the First-Word Fall-Through Mode. IR indicates
whether or not the FIFO has available memory locations. OR
shows whether the FIFO has dat a av ai labl e fo r readin g or not.
It marks the presence of valid data on the outputs.

threshold can be set at 8, 16, or 64 locations from the empty
boundary and AF

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 i s not activ ely performing a
