Select
I
This is a dual-purpose pin. During Master Reset, a HIGH on BE will select Big Endian
operation. In this case, depending on the bus size, the most significant byte or word on
Port A is transferred to Port B first. A LOW on BE will select Little Endian operation. In
this case, the least significant byte or word on Port A is transferred to Port B first. After
Master Reset, this pin selects the timing mode. A HIGH on FWFT selects CY Standard
Mode, a LOW selects First-Word Fall-Through Mode. Once the timing mode has been
selected, the level on FWFT must be static throughout device operation.
BM
Bus Match
Select (Port B)
I
A HIGH on this pin enables either byte or word bus width on Port B, depending on
the state of SIZE. A LOW selects long-word operation. BM works with SIZE and BE to
select the bus size and endian arrangement for Port B. The level of BM must be static
throughout device operation.
CLKA

I
ENA must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA to read or write
data on Port A.
ENB
Port B Enable
I
ENB must be HIGH to enable a LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB to read or write
data on Port B.
FF/IR
Port B Full/Input
Ready Flag
O
This is a dual-function pin. In the CY Standard Mode, the FF function is selected. FF
indicates whether or not the FIFO memory is full. In the FWFT mode, the IR function is
selected. IR indicates whether or not there is space available for writing to the FIFO
memory. FF/IR is synchronized to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA.
Notes:
1. When reading from the FIFO under FWFT, ORA/ORB signal should be included in the read logic to ensure proper operation. To read without gating the boundary
flag (e.g., in bursts), use CY standard mode.
2. When FIFO is operated at the almost empty/full boundary, there may be an uncertainty of up to three clock cycles for flag assertion and deassertion. Refer to
“Designing with CY7C436xx Synchronous FIFO” application notes for more details on flag uncertainties.

Function
FS1/SEN and FS0/SD are dual-purpose inputs used for flag offset register
programming. During Master Reset, FS1/SEN and FS0/SD, together with SPM, select
the flag offset programming method. Three offset register programming methods are
available: automatically load one of three preset values (8, 16, or 64), parallel load from
Port A, and serial load. When serial load is selected for flag offset register programming,
FS1/SEN is used as an enable synchronous to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA.
When FS1/SEN is LOW, a rising edge on CLKA loads the bit present on FS0/SD into
the X and Y registers. The number of bit writes required to program the offset registers
is 20 for the CY7C43643, 24 for the CY7C43663, and 28 for the CY7C43683. The first
bit write stores the Y-register MSB and the last bit write stores the X-register LSB.

I
A LOW on this pin initializes the FIFO read and write pointers to the first location
of memory and sets the Port B output register to all zeroes. A LOW pulse on MRS1
selects the programming method (serial or parallel) and one of three programmable flag
default offsets. It also configures Port B for bus size and endian arrangement. Four
LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKA and four LOW-to-HIGH transitions of CLKB must
occur while MRS1 is LOW.

Functional Description
The CY7C436x3 is a monolithic, high-speed, low-power,
CMOS Unidirectional Synchronous (clocked) FIFO memory
which supports clock frequencies up to 133 MHz and has 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 output in
36-bit, 18-bit, or 9-bit formats with a choice of Big or Little
Endian configurations.
The CY7C436x3 is a synchronous (clocked) FIFO, meaning
each port employs a synchronous interface. All data transfers
through a port are gated to the LOW-to-HIGH transition 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 interface between microprocessors
and/or buses with synchronous control.
Communication between each port may bypass the FIFOs via
two mailbox registers. The mailbox registers’ width matches
the selected Port B bus width. Each mailbox register has a flag
(MBF1 and MBF2) to signal when new mail has been stored.
Two kinds of reset are available on the CY7C436x3: Master
Reset and Partial Reset. Master Reset initializes the read and
write pointers to the first location of the memory array,
configures 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 and 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 Partial Reset (i.e., programming method and
partial flag default offsets) are retained. Partial Reset is useful
since it permits flushing of the FIFO memory without changing
any configuration settings. The FIFO has its own independent
Partial Reset pin, PRS.
The CY7C436x3 have two modes of operation: In the CY
Standard Mode, the first word written 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 (FWFT), the
first long-word (36-bit wide) written to an empty FIFO appears
automatically on the outputs, no read operation required
(nevertheless, accessing subsequent words does necessitate
a formal read request). The state of the BE/FWFT pin during
FIFO operation determines the mode in use.
The FIFO has a combined Empty/Output Ready flag (EF/OR)
and a combined Full/Input Ready flag (FF/IR). The EF and FF
functions are selected in the CY Standard Mode. EF indicates
whether the memory is full or not. The IR and OR functions 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 data available for reading or not.
It marks the presence of valid data on the outputs.[1]
The FIFO has a programmable Almost Empty flag (AE) and a
programmable Almost Full flag (AF). AE indicates when a
selected number of words written to FIFO memory achieve a
predetermined “almost empty state.” AF indicates when a
selected number of words written to the memory achieve a
predetermined “almost full state.”[2]
Document #: 38-06021 Rev. *B
IR and AF are synchronized to the port clock that writes data
into its array. OR and AE are synchronized to the port clock
that reads data from its array. Programmable offset for AE and
AF can be loaded in parallel using Port A or in serial via the
SD input. Three default offset settings are also provided. The
AE threshold can be set at 8, 16, or 64 locations from the
empty boundary and AF threshold can be set at 8, 16, or 64
locations 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.
The CY7C436x3 are characterized for operation from 0°C to
70°C commercial, and from –40°C to 85°C industrial. Input
ESD protection is greater than 2001V, and latch-up is
prevented by the use of guard rings.
Signal Description
Master Reset (MRS1, MRS2)
The FIFO memory of the CY7C436x3 undergoes a complete
reset by taking its associated Master Reset (MRS1, MRS2)
input LOW for at least four Port A clock (CLKA) and four Port
B clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The Master Reset
input can switch asynchronously to the clocks. A Master Reset
initializes the internal read and write pointers and forces the
Full/Input Ready flag (FF/IR) LOW, the Empty/Output Ready
flag (EF/OR) LOW, the Almost Empty flag (AE) LOW, and the
Almost Full flag (AF) HIGH. A Master Reset also forces the
Mailbox flag (MBF1, MBF2) of the parallel mailbox register
HIGH. After a Master Reset, the FIFO’s Full/Input Ready flag
is set HIGH after two clock cycles to begin normal operation.
A Master Reset must be performed on the FIFO after power
up, before data is written to its memory.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on a FIFO Master Reset (MRS1,
MRS2) input latches the value of the Big Endian (BE) input or
determining the order by which bytes are transferred through
Port B.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on a FIFO reset (MRS1, MRS2)
input latches the values of the Flag select (FS0, FS1) and
Serial Programming Mode (SPM) inputs for choosing the
Almost Full and Almost Empty offset programming method
(see Almost Empty and Almost Full flag offset programming
below).
Partial Reset (PRS)
Each of the two FIFO memories of the CY7C436x3 undergoes
a limited reset by taking its associated Partial Reset (PRS)
input LOW for at least four Port A clock (CLKA) and four Port
B clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The Partial Reset
inputs can switch asynchronously to the clocks. A Partial Rest
initializes the internal read and write pointers and forces the
Full/Input Ready flag (FF/IR) LOW, the Empty/Output Ready
flag (EF/OR) LOW, the Almost Empty flag (AE) LOW, and the
Almost Full flag (AF) HIGH. A Partial Reset also forces the
Mailbox flag (MBF1, MBF2) of the parallel mailbox register
HIGH. After a Partial Reset, the FIFO’s Full/Input Ready flag
is set HIGH after two clock cycles to begin normal operation.
Whatever flag offsets, programming method (parallel or
serial), and timing mode (FWFT or IDT Standard mode) are
currently selected at the time a Partial Reset is initiated, those
settings will remain unchanged upon completion of the reset
operation. A Partial Reset may be useful in the case where
Page 5 of 29

CY7C43663
CY7C43683
reprogramming a FIFO following a Master Reset would be
inconvenient.
Big Endian/First-Word Fall-Through (BE/FWFT)
This is a dual-purpose pin. At the time of Master Reset, the BE
select function is active, permitting a choice of Big or Little
Endian byte arrangement for data written to or read from Port
B. This selection determines the order by which bytes (or
words) of data are transferred through this port. For the
following illustrations, assume that a byte (or word) bus size
has been selected for Port B. (Note that when Port B is
configured for a long-word size, the Big Endian function has
no application and the BE input is a “Don’t Care.”
A HIGH on the BE/FWFT input when the Master Reset (MRS1,
MRS2) inputs go from LOW to HIGH will select a Big Endian
arrangement. When data is moving in the direction from Port
A to Port B, the most significant byte (word) of the long-word
written to Port A will be transferred to Port B first; the least
significant byte (word) of the long-word written to Port A will be
transferred to Port B last.
A LOW on the BE/FWFT input when the Master Reset (MRS1,
MRS2) inputs go from LOW to HIGH will select a Little Endian
arrangement. When data is moving in the direction from Port
A to Port B, the least significant byte (word) of the long-word
written to Port A will be transferred to Port B first; the most
significant byte (word) of the long-word written to Port A will be
transferred to Port B last. After Master Reset, the FWFT select
function is active, permitting a choice between two possible
timing modes: CY Standard Mode or First-Word Fall-Through
(FWFT) Mode. Once the Master Reset (MRS1, MRS2) input
is HIGH, a HIGH on the BE/FWFT input at the second
LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA will select CY Standard
Mode. This mode uses the Empty Flag function (EF) to
indicate whether or not there are any words present in the
FIFO memory. It uses the Full Flag function (FF) to indicate
whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space for
writing. In CY Standard Mode, every word read from the FIFO,
including the first, must be requested using a formal read
operation.
Once the Master Reset (MRS1, MRS2) input is HIGH, a LOW
on the BE/FWFT input during the next LOW-to-HIGH transition
of CLKA will select FWFT Mode. This mode uses the Output
Ready function (OR) to indicate whether or not there is valid
data at the data outputs (B0–35). It also uses the Input Ready
function (IR) to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has
any free space for writing. In the FWFT mode, the first word
written to an empty FIFO goes directly to data outputs, no read
request necessary. Subsequent words must be accessed by
performing a formal read operation.
Following Master Reset, the level applied to the BE/FWFT
input to choose the desired timing mode must remain static
throughout the FIFO operation.
Programming the Almost Empty and Almost Full Flags
Two registers in the CY7C436x3 are used to hold the offset
values for the Almost Empty and Almost Full flags. The Port B
Almost Empty flag (AE) offset register is labeled X. The Port A
Almost Full flag (AF) offset register is labeled Y. The index of
each register name corresponds with preset values during the
reset of a FIFO, programmed in parallel using the FIFO’s Port
A data inputs, or programmed in serial using the Serial Data
(SD) input (see Table 2).
Document #: 38-06021 Rev. *B
To load a FIFO’s Almost Empty flag and Almost Full flag offset
registers with one of the three preset values listed in Table 2,
the Serial Program Mode (SPM) and at least one of the
flag-select inputs must be HIGH during the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of its Master Reset input (MRS1, MRS2). For
example, to load the preset value of 64 into X and Y, SPM, FS0
and FS1 must be HIGH when the FIFO reset (MRS1, MRS2)
returns HIGH. When using one of the preset values for the flag
offsets, the FIFO can be reset simultaneously or at different
times.
To program the X and Y registers from Port A, perform a
Master Reset on both FIFOs simultaneously with SPM HIGH
and FS0 and FS1 LOW during the LOW-to-HIGH transition of
MRS1/MRS2. After this reset is complete, the first two writes
to the FIFO do not store data in RAM but load the offset
registers in the order Y and X. The Port A data inputs used by
the offset registers are (A0–9), (A0–11), or (A0–13),for the
CY7C436x3, respectively. The highest numbered input is used
as the most significant bit of the binary number in each case.
Valid programming values for the registers range from 0 to
1023 for the CY7C43643; 0to 4095 for the CY7C43663; 0 to
16383 for the CY7C43683. Before programming the offset
register, FF/IR is set HIGH. FIFOs begin normal operation
after programming is done.
To program the X and Y registers serially, initiate a Master
Reset with SPM LOW, FS0/SD LOW, and FS1/SEN HIGH
during the LOW-to-HIGH transition of MRS1/MRS2. After this
reset is complete, the X and Y register values are loaded
bit-wise through the FS0/SD input on each LOW-to-HIGH
transition of CLKA that the FS1/SEN input is LOW. Twenty,
twenty four, or twenty eight bit writes are needed to complete
the programming for the CY7C436x3, respectively. The two
registers are written in the order Y then finally X. The first-bit
write stores the most significant bit of the Y register and the
last-bit write stores the least significant bit of the X register.
Each register value can be programmed from 0 to 1023 for the
CY7C43643; 0to 4095 for the CY7C43663; 0 to 16383
(Cy7c43683).
When the option to program the offset registers serially is
chosen, the Port A Full/Input Ready (FF/IR) flag remains LOW
until all register bits are written. FF/IR is set HIGH by the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA after the last bit is loaded to
allow normal FIFO operation.
SPM, FS0/SD, and FS1/SEN function the same way in both
CY Standard and FWFT modes.
FIFO Write/Read Operation
The state of the Port A data (A0–35) lines is controlled by Port
A Chip Select (CSA) and Port A Write/Read Select (W/RA).
The A0–35 lines are in the high-impedance state when either
CSA or W/RA is HIGH. The A0–35 lines are active mail 2
register outputs when both CSA and W/RA are LOW.
Data is loaded into the FIFO from the A0–35 inputs on a
LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA when CSA is LOW, W/RA is
HIGH, ENA is HIGH, MBA is LOW, and FF/IR is HIGH (see
Table 3). FIFO writes on Port A are independent of any
concurrent Port B operation.
The Port B control signals are identical to those of Port A with
the exception that the Port B Write/Read Select (W/RB) is the
inverse of the Port A Write/Read Select (W/RA). The state of
the Port B data (B0–35) lines is controlled by the Port B Chip
Select (CSB) and Port B Write/Read Select (W/RB). The B0–35
Page 6 of 29
CY7C43643
CY7C43663
CY7C43683
lines are in the high-impedance state when either CSB is HIGH
or W/RB is LOW. The B0–35 lines are active outputs when CSB
is LOW and W/RB is HIGH.
Data is read from the FIFO to the B0–35 outputs by a
LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB when CSB is LOW, W/RB is
HIGH, ENB is HIGH, MBB is LOW, and EF/OR is HIGH (see
Table 4). FIFO reads and writes on Port B are independent of
any concurrent Port A operation.
The Set-up and hold time constraints to the port clocks for the
port Chip Selects and Write/Read Selects are only for enabling
write and read operations and are not related to
high-impedance control of the data outputs. If a port enable is
LOW during a clock cycle, the port’s Chip Select and
Write/Read Select may change states during the Set-up and
hold time window of the cycle.
When operating the FIFO in FWFT Mode with the Output
Ready flag LOW, the next word written is automatically sent to
the FIFO’s output register by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of
the port clock that sets the Output Ready flag HIGH, data
residing in the FIFO’s memory array is clocked to the output
register only when a read is selected using the port’s Chip
Select, Write/Read Select, Enable, and Mailbox Select.
When operating the FIFO in CY Standard Mode, regardless of
whether the Empty Flag is LOW or HIGH, data residing in the
FIFO’s memory array is clocked to the output register only
when a read is selected using the port’s Chip Select,
Write/Read Select, Enable, and Mailbox Select.
Synchronized FIFO Flags
Each FIFO is synchronized to its port clock through at least two
flip-flop stages. This is done to improve flag-signal reliability by
reducing the probability of the metastable events when CLKA
and CLKB operate asynchronously to one another. EF/OR and
AE are synchronized to CLKA. FF/IR and AF are synchronized
to CLKB. Table 5 shows the relationship of each port flag to
the FIFO.
Empty/Output Ready Flags (EF/OR)
These are dual-purpose flags. In the FWFT Mode, the Output
Ready (OR) function is selected. When the Output Ready flag
is HIGH, new data is present in the FIFO output register. When
the Output Ready flag is LOW, the previous data word is
present in the FIFO output register and attempted FIFO reads
are ignored.[1]
is the next data to be sent to the FIFO output register and three
cycles have not elapsed since the time the word was written.
The Output Ready flag of the FIFO remains LOW until the third
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the synchronizing clock occurs,
simultaneously forcing the Output Ready flag HIGH and
shifting the word to the FIFO output register.
In the CY Standard Mode, from the time a word is written to a
FIFO, the Empty Flag will indicate the presence of data
available for reading in a minimum of two cycles of the Empty
Flag synchronizing clock. Therefore, an Empty Flag is LOW if
a word in memory is the next data to be sent to the FIFO output
register and two cycles have not elapsed since the time the
word was written. The Empty Flag of the FIFO remains LOW
until the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of the synchronizing
clock occurs, forcing the Empty Flag HIGH; only then can data
be read.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on an Empty/Output Ready flag
synchronizing clock begins the first synchronization cycle of a
write if the clock transition occurs at time tSKEW1 or greater
after the write. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle can be
the first synchronization cycle.
Full/Input Ready Flags (FF/IR)
This is a dual-purpose flag. In FWFT Mode, the Input Ready
(IR) function is selected. In CY Standard Mode, the Full Flag
(FF) function is selected. For both timing modes, when the
Full/Input Ready flag is HIGH, a memory location is free in the
SRAM to receive new data. No memory locations are free
when the Full/Input Ready flag is LOW and attempted writes
to the FIFO are ignored.
The Full/Input Ready flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the port
clock that writes data to its array. For both FWFT and CY
Standard modes, each time a word is written to a FIFO, its
write pointer is incremented. The state machine that controls
a Full/Input Ready flag monitors a write pointer and read
pointer comparator that indicates when the FIFO SRAM status
is full, or full–1. From the time a word is read from a FIFO, its
previous memory location is ready to be written to in a
minimum of two cycles of the Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing clock. Therefore, an Full/Input Ready flag is LOW if less
than two cycles of the Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing
clock have elapsed since the next memory write location has
been read. The second LOW-to-HIGH transition on the
Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing clock after the read sets
the Full/Input Ready flag HIGH.
In the CY Standard Mode, the Empty Flag (EF) function is
selected. When the Empty Flag is HIGH, data is available in
the FIFO’s RAM memory for reading to the output register.
When the Empty Flag is LOW, the previous data word is
present in the FIFO output register and attempted FIFO reads
are ignored.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on a Full/Input Ready flag synchronizing clock begins the first synchronization cycle of a read if
the clock transition occurs at time tSKEW1 or greater after the
read. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle can be the first
synchronization cycle.
The Empty/Output Ready flag of a FIFO is synchronized to the
port clock that reads data from its array. For both the FWFT
and CY Standard modes, the FIFO read pointer is incremented
each time a new word is clocked to its output register. The
state machine that controls an Output Ready flag monitors a
write pointer and read pointer comparator that indicates when
the FIFO SRAM status is empty, or empty+1.
Almost Empty Flags (AE)
In FWFT Mode, from the time a word is written to a FIFO, it
can be shifted to the FIFO output register in a minimum of
three cycles of the Output Ready flag synchronizing clock.
Therefore, an Output Ready flag is LOW if a word in memory
Document #: 38-06021 Rev. *B
The Almost Empty flag of the FIFO is synchronized to port B
clock. The state machine that controls an Almost Empty flag
monitors a write pointer and read pointer comparator that
indicates when the FIFO SRAM status is almost empty, or
almost empty+1. The Almost Empty state is defined by the
contents of register X for AE. These registers are loaded with
preset values during a FIFO reset, programmed from Port A,
or programmed serially (see Almost Empty flag and Almost
Full flag offset programming above). An Almost Empty flag is
LOW when its FIFO contains X or less words and is HIGH
when its FIFO contains (X+1) or more words[2].
Page 7 of 29
CY7C43643
CY7C43663
CY7C43683
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the Almost Empty flag
synchronizing clock are required after a FIFO write for its
Almost Empty flag to reflect the new level of fill. Therefore, the
Almost empty flag of a FIFO containing (X+1) or more words
remains LOW if two cycles of its synchronizing clock have not
elapsed since the write that filled the memory to the (X+1)
level. An Almost Empty flag is set HIGH by the second
LOW-to-HIGH transition of its synchronizing clock after the
FIFO write that fills memory to the (X+1) level. A LOW-to-HIGH
transition of an Almost Empty flag synchronizing clock begins
the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time tSKEW2 or
greater after the write that fills the FIFO to (X+1) words.
Otherwise, the subsequent synchronizing clock cycle may be
the first synchronization cycle.
Almost Full Flags (AFA, AFB)
The Almost Full flag of the FIFO is synchronized to port A
clock. The state machine that controls an Almost Full flag
monitors a write pointer and read pointer comparator that
indicates when the FIFO SRAM status is almost full, or almost
full–1. The Almost Full state is defined by the contents of
register Y for AF. These registers are loaded with preset
values during a FIFO reset, programmed from Port A, or
programmed serially (see Almost Empty flag and Almost Full
flag offset programming above). An Almost Full flag is LOW
when the number of words in its FIFO is greater than or equal
to (1024–Y), (4096–Y), or (16384–Y) for the CY7C436x3
respectively. An Almost Full flag is HIGH when the number of
words in its FIFO is less than or equal to [1024–(Y+1)],
[4096–(Y+1)], or [16384–(Y+1)], for the CY7C436x3 respectively.[2]
Two LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the Almost Full flag synchronizing clock are required after a FIFO read for its Almost Full
flag to reflect the new level of fill. Therefore, the Almost Full
flag of a FIFO containing [1024/4096/16384–(Y+1)] or less
words remains LOW if two cycles of its synchronizing clock
have not elapsed since the read that reduced the number of
words in memory to [1024/4096/16384–(Y+1)]. An Almost Full
flag is set HIGH by the second LOW-to-HIGH transition of its
synchronizing clock after the FIFO read that reduces the
number of words in memory to [1024/4096/16384–(Y+1)]. A
LOW-to-HIGH transition of an Almost Full flag synchronizing
clock begins the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time
tSKEW2 or greater after the read that reduces the number of
words in memory to [1024/4096/16384–(Y+1)]. Otherwise, the
subsequent synchronizing clock cycle may be the first
synchronization cycle.
Mailbox Registers
Each FIFO has a 36-bit bypass register to pass command and
control information between Port A and Port B without putting
it in queue. The Mailbox Select (MBA, MBB) inputs choose
between a mail register and a FIFO for a port data transfer
operation. The usable width of both the Mail1 and Mail2
registers matches the selected bus size for Port B.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA writes A0-35 data to the
Mail1 Register when a Port A write is selected by CSA, W/RA,
and ENA with MBA HIGH. If the selected Port A bus size is
also 36 bits, then the usable width of the Mail1 Register
employs data lines A0–35. If the selected Port A bus size is 18
bits, then the usable width of the Mail1 Register employs data
lines A0-17. (In this case, A18–35 are “don’t care” inputs.) If the
selected Port A bus size is 9 bits, then the usable width of the
Document #: 38-06021 Rev. *B
Mail1 Register employs data lines A0–8. (In this case, A9–35 are
“don’t care” inputs.)
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKB writes B0-35 data to the
Mail2 register when a Port B write is selected by CSB, W/RB,
and ENB with MBB HIGH. If the selected Port B bus size is
also 36 bits, then the usable width of the Mail2 Register
employs data lines B0–35. If the selected Port B bus size is 18
bits, then the usable width of the Mail2 register employs data
lines B0–17. (In this case, B18–35 are “don’t care” inputs.) If the
selected Port B bus size is 9 bits, then the usable width of the
Mail2 Register employs data lines B0-8. (In this case, B9-35 are
“don’t care” inputs.)
Writing data to a mail register sets its corresponding flag
(MBF1 or MBF2) LOW. Attempted writes to a mail register are
ignored while the mail flag is LOW.
When data outputs of a port are active, the data on the bus
comes from the FIFO output register when the port Mailbox
Select input is LOW and from the mail register when the port
Mailbox Select input is HIGH.
The Mail1 Register flag (MBF1) is set HIGH by a
LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKB when a Port B read is
selected by CSB, W/RB, and ENB with MBB HIGH. For a
36-bit bus size, 36 bits of mailbox data are placed on B0–35.
For an 18-bit bus size, 18 bits of mailbox data are placed on
B0–17. (In this case, B18–35 are indeterminate.) For a 9-bit bus
size, 9 bits of mailbox data are placed on B0–8. (In this case,
B9–35 are indeterminate.)
The Mail2 Register flag (MBF2) is set HIGH by a
LOW-to-HIGH transition on CLKA when a Port A read is
selected by CSA, W/RA, and ENA with MBA HIGH.
For a 36-bit bus size, 36 bits of mailbox data are placed on
A0–35. For an 18-bit bus size, 18 bits of mailbox data are
placed on A0–17. (In this case, A18–35 are indeterminate.) For
a 9-bit bus size, 9 bits of mailbox data are placed on A0–8. (In
this case, A9–35 are indeterminate.)
The data in a mail register remains intact after it is read and
changes only when new data is written to the register. The
Endian Select feature has no effect on the mailbox data.
Bus Sizing
The Port B bus can be configured in a 36-bit long-word, 18-bit
word, or 9-bit byte format for data read from FIFO. The levels
applied to the Port B Bus Size Select (SIZE) and the Bus
Match Select (BM) determine the Port B bus size. These levels
should be static throughout FIFO operation. Both bus size
selections are implemented at the completion of Master Reset,
by the time the Full/Input Ready flag is set HIGH.
Two different methods for sequencing data transfer are
available for Port B when the bus size selection is either
byte-or word-size. They are referred to as Big Endian (most
significant byte first) and Little Endian (least significant byte
first). The level applied to the Big Endian Select (BE) input
during the LOW-to-HIGH transition of MRS1/MRS2 selects the
endian method that will be active during FIFO operation. BE is
a don’t care input when the bus size selected for Port B is
long-word. The endian method is implemented at the
completion of Master Reset, by the time the Full/Input Ready
flag is set HIGH.
Only 36-bit long-word data is written to or read from the two
FIFO memories on the CY7C436x3. Bus-matching operations
are done after data is read from the FIFO. These bus-matching
Page 8 of 29
CY7C43643
CY7C43663
CY7C43683
operations are not available when transferring data via
mailbox registers. Furthermore, both the word- and byte-size
bus selections limit the width of the data bus that can be used
for mail register operations. In this case, only those byte lanes
belonging to the selected word- or byte-size bus can carry
mailbox data. The remaining data outputs will be indeterminate. The remaining data inputs will be don’t care inputs. For
example, when a word-size bus is selected, then mailbox data
can be transmitted only between A0–17 and B0–17. When a
byte-size bus is selected, then mailbox data can be transmitted only between A0–8 and B0–8.
Bus-Matching FIFO Reads
Data is read from the FIFO RAM in 36-bit long-word increments. If a long-word bus size is implemented, the entire longword immediately shifts to the FIFO output register. If byte or
word size is implemented on Port B, only the first one or two
bytes appear on the selected portion of the FIFO output
register, with the rest of the long-word stored in auxiliary
registers. In this case, subsequent FIFO reads output the rest
of the long-word to the FIFO output register.
Document #: 38-06021 Rev. *B
When reading data from the FIFO in the byte or word format,
the unused B0–35 outputs are indeterminate.
Retransmit (RT)
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. Retransmit
function applies to CY standard mode only.
The number of 36-/18-/9-bit words written into the FIFO should
be less than full depth minus 2/4/8 words between the reset of
the FIFO (master or partial) and Retransmit setup. A LOW
pulse on RT resets the internal read pointer to the first physical
location of the FIFO. CLKA and CLKB may be free-running but
ENB 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 transmitted.

Notes:
3. X register holds the offset for AE; Y register holds the offset for AF.
4. X is the Almost Empty offset for FIFO used by AE. Y is the Almost Full offset for FIFO used by AF. Both X and Y are selected during a FIFO reset or port A
programming.
5. When a word loaded to an empty FIFO is shifted to the output register, its previous FIFO memory location is free.
6. Data in the output register does not count as a “word in FIFO memory”. Since in FWFT Mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO goes unrequested to the
output register (no read operation necessary), it is not included in the FIFO memory count.
7. The OR and IR functions are active during FWFT mode; the EF and FF functions are active in CY Standard Mode.

Notes:
10. Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
11. The input and output voltage ratings may be exceeded provided the input and output current ratings are observed.
12. The Voltage on any input or I/O pin cannot exceed the power pin during power-up.
13. Operating VCC range for -7 speed is 5.0V ±0.25V.
14. Input signals switch from 0V to 3V with a rise/fall time of less than 3 ns, clocks and clock enables switch at 20 MHz, while data inputs switch at 10 MHz. Outputs
are unloaded.
15. All inputs = VCC – 0.2V, except RCLK and WCLK (which are at frequency = 0 MHz). All outputs are unloaded.
16. Tested initially and after any design or process changes that may affect these parameters.

Notes:
22. CSA = LOW, W/RA = HIGH, MBA = LOW. It is not necessary to program offset register on consecutive clock cycles.
23. tSKEW1 is the minimum time between the rising CLKA edge and a rising CLKB for FF/IR to transition HIGH in the next cycle. If the time between the rising edge
of CLKA and rising edge of CLKB is less than tSKEW1, then FF/IR may transition HIGH one cycle later than shown.
24. It is not necessary to program offset register bits on consecutive clock cycles. FIFO write attempts are ignored until IR is set HIGH.
25. Programmable offsets are written serially to the SD input in the order AF offset (Y) then AE offset (X).

Notes:
46. If Port B is configured for word size, data can be written to the Mail2 register using B0–17 (B18–35 are “don’t care” inputs). In this first case, A0–17 will have valid
data (A18–35 will be indeterminate). If Port B is configured for byte size, data can be written to the Mail2 Register using B0–8 (B9–35 are “don’t care” inputs). In
this second case, A0–8 will have valid data (A9–35 will be indeterminate).
47. Retransmit is performed in the same manner for FIFO2.
48. Clocks are free-running in this case. CY standard mode only. Write operation should be prohibited one write clock cycle before the falling edge of RT1, and
during the retransmit operation, i.e. when RT1 is LOW and tRTR after the RT1 rising edge.
49. The Empty and Full flags may change state during Retransmit as a result of the offset of the read and write pointers, but flags will be valid at tRTR.
50. For the AEA, AEB, AFA, and AFB flags, two clock cycle are necessary after tRTR to update these flags.
51. The number of 36-/18-/9-bit words written into the FIFO should be less than full depth minus 2/4/8 words between the reset of the FIFO (master or partial) and
the Retransmit setup.
