The CY7C42X1 are high speed, low power FIFO memories with
clocked read and write interfaces. All are 9 bits wide. The
CY7C42X1 are pin-compatible to IDT722X1. 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 9-bit input and output ports that are controlled
by separate clock and enable signals. The input port is controlled
by a free-running clock (WCLK) and two write-enable pins
(WEN1, WEN2/LD).
When WEN1 is LOW and WEN2/LD is HIGH, data is written into
the FIFO on the rising edge of the WCLK signal. While WEN1,
WEN2/LD is held active, data is continually written into the FIFO
on each WCLK cycle. The output port is controlled in a similar
manner by a free-running read clock (RCLK) and two
read-enable pins (REN1, REN2). In addition, the CY7C42X1 has
an output enable pin (OE). The Read (RCLK) and Write (WCLK)
clocks can be tied together for single-clock operation or the two
clocks can run independently for asynchronous read/write applications. Clock frequencies up to 100 MHz are achievable.
Depth expansion is possible using one enable input for system
control, while the other enable is controlled by expansion logic to
direct the flow of data.

CY7C4231/4241/4251
Functional Description
maintains the data of the last valid read on its Q0–8 outputs even
after additional reads occur.
The CY7C42X1 provides four status pins: Empty, Full, Almost
Empty, Almost Full. The Almost Empty/Almost Full flags are
programmable to single word granularity. The programmable
flags default to Empty – 7 and Full – 7.
Write Enable 1 (WEN1). If the FIFO is configured for programmable flags, Write Enable 1 (WEN1) is the only write enable
control pin. In this configuration, when Write Enable 1 (WEN1) is
LOW, data can be loaded into the input register and RAM array
on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every Write clock (WCLK).
Data is stored is the RAM array sequentially and independently
of any on-going read operation.
The flags are synchronous - they change state relative to either
the Read clock (RCLK) or the Write clock (WCLK). When
entering or exiting the Empty and Almost Empty states, the flags
are updated exclusively by the RCLK. The flags denoting Almost
Full and Full states are updated exclusively by WCLK. The
synchronous flag architecture guarantees that the flags maintain
their status for at least one cycle.
All configurations are fabricated using advanced 0.65μ N-Well
CMOS technology. Input ESD protection is greater than 2001V,
and latch up is prevented by the use of guard rings.
Architecture
The CY7C42X1 consists of an array of 64 to 8K words of 9 bits
each (implemented by a dual-port array of SRAM cells), a read
pointer, a write pointer, control signals (RCLK, WCLK, REN1,
REN2, WEN1, WEN2, RS), and flags (EF, PAE, PAF, FF).
Resetting the FIFO
During power up, the FIFO must be reset with a Reset (RS)
cycle. This causes the FIFO to enter the Empty condition
signified by EF being LOW. All data outputs (Q0–8) go LOW tRSF
after the rising edge of RS. For the FIFO to reset to its default
state, a falling edge must occur on RS and the user must not read
or write while RS is LOW. All flags are guaranteed to be valid tRSF
after RS is taken LOW.
FIFO Operation
When the WEN1 signal is active LOW and WEN2 is active HIGH,
data present on the D0–8 pins is written into the FIFO on each
rising edge of the WCLK signal. Similarly, when the REN1 and
REN2 signals are active LOW, data in the FIFO memory is
presented on the Q0–8 outputs. New data is presented on each
rising edge of RCLK while REN1 and REN2 are active. REN1
and REN2 must set up tENS before RCLK for it to be a valid read
function. WEN1 and WEN2 must occur tENS before WCLK for it
to be a valid write function.
An output enable (OE) pin is provided to three-state the Q0–8
outputs when OE is asserted. When OE is enabled (LOW), data
in the output register is available to the Q0–8 outputs after tOE.
The FIFO contains overflow circuitry to disallow additional writes
when the FIFO is full, and underflow circuitry to disallow
additional reads when the FIFO is empty. An empty FIFO
Document #: 38-06016 Rev. *D
Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD). This is a dual-purpose pin.
The FIFO is configured at Reset to have programmable flags or
to have two write enables, which allows depth expansion. If Write
Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is set active HIGH at Reset (RS =
LOW), this pin operates as a second write enable pin.
If the FIFO is configured to have two write enables, when Write
Enable (WEN1) is LOW and Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is
HIGH, data can be loaded into the input register and RAM array
on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every Write clock (WCLK).
Data is stored in the RAM array sequentially and independently
of any on-going read operation.
Programming
When WEN2/LD is held LOW during Reset, this pin is the load
(LD) enable for flag offset programming. In this configuration,
WEN2/LD can be used to access the four 8-bit offset registers
contained in the CY7C42X1 for writing or reading data to these
registers.
When the device is configured for programmable flags and both
WEN2/LD and WEN1 are LOW, the first LOW-to-HIGH transition
of WCLK writes data from the data inputs to the empty offset least
significant bit (LSB) register. The second, third, and fourth
LOW-to-HIGH transitions of WCLK store data in the empty offset
most significant bit (MSB) register, full offset LSB register, and
full offset MSB register, respectively, when WEN2/LD and WEN1
are LOW. The fifth LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK while
WEN2/LD and WEN1 are LOW writes data to the empty LSB
register again. Figure 2 shows the registers sizes and default
values for the various device types.
It is not necessary to write to all the offset registers at one time.
A subset of the offset registers can be written; then by bringing
the WEN2/LD input HIGH, the FIFO is returned to normal read
and write operation. The next time WEN2/LD is brought LOW, a
write operation stores data in the next offset register in
sequence.
The contents of the offset registers can be read to the data
outputs when WEN2/LD is LOW and both REN1 and REN2 are
LOW. LOW-to-HIGH transitions of RCLK Read register contents
to the data outputs. Writes and reads should not be preformed
simultaneously on the offset registers.

Whether the flag offset registers are programmed as described
in Table 2 or the default values are used, the programmable
almost-empty flag (PAE) and programmable almost-full flag
(PAF) states are determined by their corresponding offset
registers and the difference between the read and write pointers.
Table 2. Writing the Offset Registers
The number formed by the empty offset least significant bit
register and empty offset most significant register is referred to
as n and determines the operation of PAE. PAE is synchronized
to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK by one flip-flop and is
LOW when the FIFO contains n or fewer unread words. PAE is
set HIGH by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK when the
FIFO contains (n + 1) or greater unread words.

Width Expansion Configuration
Flag Operation
Word width may be increased by connecting the corresponding
input controls signals of multiple devices. A composite flag
should be created for each of the end-point status flags (EF and
FF). The partial status flags (PAE and PAF) can be detected from
any one device. Figure 3 demonstrates a 18-bit word width by
using two CY7C42X1s. Any word width can be attained by
adding additional CY7C42X1s.
The CY7C42X1 devices provide four flag pins to indicate the
condition of the FIFO contents. Empty, Full, PAE, and PAF are
synchronous.
Full Flag
The Full Flag (FF) goes LOW when device is full. Write operations are inhibited whenever FF is LOW regardless of the state
of WEN1 and WEN2/LD. FF is synchronized to WCLK - it is
exclusively updated by each rising edge of WCLK.
When the CY7C42X1 is in a Width Expansion Configuration, the
Read Enable (REN2) control input can be grounded (See
Figure 3). In this configuration, the Write Enable 2/Load
(WEN2/LD) pin is set to LOW at Reset so that the pin operates
as a control to load and read the programmable flag offsets.
Empty Flag
The Empty Flag (EF) goes LOW when the device is empty. Read
operations are inhibited whenever EF is LOW, regardless of the
state of REN1 and REN2. EF is synchronized to RCLK - it is
exclusively updated by each rising edge of RCLK.

14. tSKEW1 is the minimum time between a rising RCLK edge and a rising WCLK edge to guarantee that FF goes HIGH during the current clock cycle. If the time between
the rising edge of RCLK and the rising edge of WCLK is less than tSKEW1, then FF may not change state until the next WCLK rising edge.
15. tSKEW1 is the minimum time between a rising WCLK edge and a rising RCLK edge to guarantee that EF goes HIGH during the current clock cycle. It the time between

16. The clocks (RCLK, WCLK) can be free-running during reset.
17. Holding WEN2/LD HIGH during reset makes the pin act as a second enable pin. Holding WEN2/LD LOW during reset makes the pin act as a load enable for the
programmable flag offset registers.
18. After reset, the outputs are LOW if OE = 0 and three-state if OE = 1.
19. When tSKEW1 > minimum specification, tFRL (maximum) = tCLK + tSKEW1. When tSKEW1 < minimum specification, tFRL (maximum) = either 2*tCLK + tSKEW1 or tCLK +
tSKEW1. The Latency Timing applies only at the Empty Boundary (EF = LOW).
20. The first word is available the cycle after EF goes HIGH, always.
