Functional Description
• 256 x 9 (CY7C4201V)
The CY7C42X1V are high-speed, low-power, FIFO memories
with clocked read and write interfaces. All are nine bits wide.
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.
• 512 x 9 (CY7C4211V)
• 1K x 9 (CY7C4221V)
• 2K x 9 (CY7C4231V)
• 4K x 9 (CY7C4241V)
• 8K x 9 (CY7C4251V)
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).
• High-speed 66-MHz operation (15-ns read/write cycle
time)
• Low power (ICC = 20 mA)
• 3.3V operation for low power consumption and easy
integration into low-voltage systems
• 5V-tolerant inputs VIH max = 5V
• Fully asynchronous and simultaneous read and write
operation
• Empty, Full, and Programmable Almost Empty and
Almost Full status flags
• TTL compatible
• Output Enable (OE) pin
• Independent read and write enable pins
• Center power and ground pins for reduced noise
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
CY7C42X1V has an Output Enable Pin (OE). The Read
(RCLK) and Write (WCLK) 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.
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.

Functional Description (continued)
The CY7C42X1V 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.
The flags are synchronous, i.e., they change state relative to
either the Read Clock (RCLK) or the Write Clock (WCLK).
Document #: 38-06010 Rev. *B
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 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.

CY7C4421V/4201V/4211V/4221V
CY7C4231V/4241V/4251V
Architecture
The CY7C42X1V consists of an array of 64 to 8K words of nine
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
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 (Q0-8) go LOW
tRSF after the rising edge of RS. 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. 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 will
be presented on the Q0-8 outputs. New data will be 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 will be 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
maintains the data of the last valid read on its Q0-8 outputs
even after additional reads occur.
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.
Document #: 38-06010 Rev. *B
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 for 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 CY7C42X1V 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 1 shows
the register 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
performed simultaneously on the offset registers.

Figure 1. Offset Register Location and Default Values
Programmable Flag (PAE, PAF) Operation
Whether the flag offset registers are programmed as
described in Table 1 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.

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.
The number formed by the full offset least significant bit
register and full offset most significant bit register is referred to
as m and determines the operation of PAF. PAE is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLK by one flip-flop
and is set LOW when the number of unread words in the FIFO
is greater than or equal to CY7C4421V (64 – m), CY7C4201V
(256 – m), CY7C4211V (512 – m), CY7C4221V (1K – m),
CY7C4231V (2K – m), CY7C4241V (4K – m), and
CY7C4251V (8K – m). PAF is set HIGH by the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of WCLK when the number of available memory
locations is greater than m.
Note:
1. The same selection sequence applies to reading from the registers. REN1 and REN2 are enabled and a read is performed on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK.

Width Expansion Configuration
Flag Operation
Word width may be increased simply by connecting the corresponding input control 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 2 demonstrates a 18-bit word width by using two CY7C42X1Vs. Any
word width can be attained by adding additional
CY7C42X1Vs.
The CY7C42X1 devices provide four flag pins to indicate the
condition of the FIFO contents. Empty, Full, PAE, and PAF are
synchronous.
When the CY7C42X1V is in a Width Expansion Configuration,
the Read Enable (REN2) control input can be grounded (see
Figure 2). 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.
Full Flag
The Full Flag (FF) will go 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, 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 REN1 and REN2. EF is synchronized
to RCLK, i.e., it is exclusively updated by each rising edge of
RCLK.
Notes:
2. n = Empty Offset (n=7 default value).
3. m = Full Offset (m=7 default value).

Notes:
11. tSKEW1 is the minimum time between a rising RCLK edge and a rising WCLK edge to guarantee that FF will go 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.
12. tSKEW1 is the minimum time between a rising WCLK edge and a rising RCLK edge to guarantee that EF will go HIGH during the current clock cycle. It the time
between the rising edge of WCLK and the rising edge of RCLK is less than tSKEW1, then EF may not change state until the next RCLK rising edge.

Notes:
13. The clocks (RCLK, WCLK) can be free-running during reset.
14. After reset, the outputs will be LOW if OE = 0 and three-state if OE=1.
15. Holding WEN2/LD HIGH during reset will make the pin act as a second enable pin. Holding WEN2/LD LOW during reset will make the pin act as a load enable
for the programmable flag offset registers.

Notes:
16. 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).
17. The first word is available the cycle after EF goes HIGH, always.

Notes:
18. tSKEW2 is the minimum time between a rising WCLK and a rising RCLK edge for PAE to change state during that clock cycle. If the time between the edge of
WCLK and the rising RCLK is less than tSKEW2, then PAE may not change state until the next RCLK.
19. PAE offset = n.
20. If a read is performed on this rising edge of the read clock, there will be Empty + (n−1) words in the FIFO when PAE goes LOW.

22. PAF offset = m.
23. 64–m words for CY7C4421V, 256-m words in FIFO for CY7C4201V, 512–m words for CY7C4211V, 1024–m words for CY7C4221V, 2048–m words for
CY7C4231V, 4096–m words for CY7C4241V, 8192–m words for CY7C4251V.
24. tSKEW2 is the minimum time between a rising RCLK edge and a rising WCLK edge for PAF to change during that clock cycle. If the time between the rising edge
of RCLK and the rising edge of WCLK is less than tSKEW2, then PAF may not change state until the next WCLK.
