The CY7C42X5V are high-speed, low-power, first-in first-out
(FIFO) memories with clocked read and write interfaces. All
are 18 bits wide. The CY7C42X5V 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 communications
buffering.
These FIFOs have 18-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 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 continually 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
CY7C42X5V 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 66 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 VSS and the
FL pin of all the remaining devices should be tied to VCC.
The CY7C42X5V provides five status pins. These pins are
decoded to determine one of five states: Empty, Almost Empty,
Half Full, Almost 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 configurations. In the depth expansion, this
pin provides the expansion 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
architecture guarantees that the flags will remain valid from
one clock cycle to the next. As mentioned previously, the
Almost Empty/Almost Full flags become synchronous if the
VCC/SMODE is tied to VSS. All configurations are fabricated
using an advanced 0.65µ P-Well CMOS technology. Input
ESD protection is greater than 2001V, and latch-up is
prevented by the use of guard rings.

Architecture
Programming
The CY7C42X5V consists of an array of 64 to 4K words of 18
bits each (implemented by a dual-port array of SRAM cells), a
read pointer, a write pointer, control signals (RCLK, WCLK,
REN, WEN, RS), and flags (EF, PAE, HF, PAF, FF). The
CY7C42X5V also includes the control signals WXI, RXI, WXO,
RXO for depth expansion.
The CY7C42X5V devices contain two 12-bit offset registers.
Data present on D0–11 during a program write will determine
the distance from Empty (Full) that the Almost Empty (Almost
Full) flags become active. If the user elects not to program the
FIFO’s flags, the default offset values are used (see Table 2).
When the Load LD pin is set LOW and WEN is set LOW, data
on the inputs D0–11 is written into the Empty offset register on
the first LOW-to-HIGH transition of the write clock (WCLK).
When the LD pin and WEN are held LOW then data is written
into the Full offset register on the second LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the Write Clock (WCLK). The third transition of the
Write Clock (WCLK) again writes to the Empty offset register
(see Table 1). Writing all offset registers does not have to
occur at one time. One or two offset registers can be written
and then, by bringing the LD pin HIGH, the FIFO is returned to
normal read/write operation. When the LD pin is set LOW, and
WEN is LOW, the next offset register in sequence is written.
Resetting the FIFO
Upon 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 go LOW after the
falling edge of RS only if OE is asserted. In order 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.
FIFO Operation
When the WEN signal is active (LOW), data present on the
D0-17 pins is written into the FIFO on each rising edge of the
WCLK signal. Similarly, when the REN signal is active LOW,
data in the FIFO memory will be presented on the Q0−17
outputs. New data will be presented on each rising edge of
RCLK while REN is active LOW and OE is LOW. REN must
set up tENS before RCLK for it to be a valid read function. WEN
must occur tENS before WCLK for it to be a valid write function.
An Output Enable (OE) pin is provided to three-state the Q0–17
outputs when OE is deasserted. When OE is enabled (LOW),
data in the output register will be available to the Q0−17 outputs
after tOE. If devices are cascaded, the OE function will only
output data on the FIFO that is read enabled.
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
maintains the data of the last valid read on its Q0−17 outputs
even after additional reads occur.
The contents of the offset registers can be read on the output
lines when the LD pin is set LOW and REN is set LOW; then,
data can be read on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Read
Clock (RCLK).

Flag Operation
that the FIFO is either Almost Full or Almost Empty. See
Table 2 for a description of programmable flags.
The CY7C42X5V devices provide five flag pins to indicate the
condition of the FIFO contents. Empty and Full are
synchronous. PAE and PAF are synchronous if VCC/SMODE
is tied to VSS.
When the SMODE pin is tied LOW, the PAF flag signal
transition is caused by the rising edge of the write clock and
the PAE flag transition is caused by the rising edge of the read
clock.
Full Flag
Retransmit
The Full Flag (FF) will go LOW when device is Full. Write
operations are inhibited whenever FF is LOW regardless of the
state of WEN. FF is synchronized to WCLK, i.e., it is exclusively updated by each rising edge of WCLK.
Empty Flag
The Empty Flag (EF) will go LOW when the device is empty.
Read operations are inhibited whenever EF is LOW,
regardless of the state of REN. EF is synchronized to RCLK,
i.e., it is exclusively updated by each rising edge of RCLK.
Programmable Almost Empty/Almost Full Flag
The CY7C42X5V features programmable Almost Empty and
Almost Full Flags. Each flag can be programmed (described
in the Programming section) a specific distance from the corresponding boundary flags (Empty or Full). When the FIFO
contains the number of words or fewer for which the flags have
been programmed, the PAF or PAE will be asserted, signifying
The retransmit feature is beneficial when transferring packets
of data. It enables the receipt of data to be acknowledged by
the receiver and retransmitted if necessary.
The Retransmit (RT) input is active in the standalone and width
expansion modes. The retransmit feature is intended for use
when a number of writes equal to or less than the depth of the
FIFO have occurred since the last RS cycle. A HIGH pulse on
RT resets the internal read pointer to the first physical location
of the FIFO. WCLK and RCLK may be free running but must
be disabled during and tRTR after the retransmit pulse. With
every valid read cycle after retransmit, previously accessed
data is read and the read pointer is incremented until it is equal
to the write pointer. Flags are governed by the relative
locations of the read and write pointers and are updated during
a retransmit cycle. Data written to the FIFO after activation of
RT are transmitted also.
The full depth of the FIFO can be repeatedly retransmitted.

ANDing the Empty (Full) flags of every FIFO. This technique
will avoid ready data from the FIFO that is “staggered” by one
clock cycle due to the variations in skew between RCLK and
WCLK. Figure 2 demonstrates a 36-word width by using two
CY7C42X5V.
The CY7C42X5V can be expanded in width to provide word
widths greater than 18 in increments of 18. During width

The CY7C42X5V can easily be adapted to applications
requiring more than 64/256/512/1024/2048/4096 words of
buffering. Figure 2 shows Depth Expansion using three
CY7C42X5Vs. Maximum depth is limited only by signal
loading. Follow these steps:
1. The first device must be designated by grounding the First
Load (FL) control input.
2. All other devices must have FL in the HIGH state.
3. The Write Expansion Out (WXO) pin of each device must
be tied to the Write Expansion In (WXI) pin of the next
device.
4. The Read Expansion Out (RXO) pin of each device must
be tied to the Read Expansion In (RXI) pin of the next
device.
5. All Load (LD) pins are tied together.
6. The Half-Full Flag (HF) is not available in the Depth
Expansion Configuration.
7. EF, FF, PAE, and PAF are created with composite flags by
ORing together these respective flags for monitoring. The
composite PAE and PAF flags are not precise.

4. The Voltage on any input or I/O pin cannot exceed the power pin during power-up
5. The VIH and VIL specifications apply for all inputs except WXI, RXI. The WXI, RXI pin is not a TTL input. It is connected to either RXO, WXO of the previous
device or VSS.
6. Input signals switch from 0V to 3V with a rise/fall time less than 3 ns, clocks and clock enables switch at 20 MHz, while the data inputs switch at 10 MHz. Outputs
are unloaded.
7. All inputs = VCC − 0.2V, except WCLK and RCLK, which are switching at 20 MHz.
8. Tested initially and after any design or process changes that may affect these parameters
