The CY7C4255/65 are high-speed, low-power, first-in first-out
(FIFO) memories with clocked read and write interfaces. All
are 18 bits wide and are pin/functionally compatible to the
CY7C42X5 Synchronous FIFO family. The CY7C4255/65 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
CY7C4255/65 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 100 MHz are achievable.
Retransmit and Synchronous Almost Full/Almost Empty flag
features are available on these devices.
• Width Expansion Capability
• Depth Expansion Capability
• 64-pin TQFP and 64-pin STQFP
• Pin-compatible density upgrade to CY7C42X5 family
• Pin-compatible density upgrade to
IDT72205/15/25/35/45
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.

Functional Description (continued)
The CY7C4255/65 provides five status pins. These pins are
decoded to determine one of five states: Empty, Almost
Empty, Half Full, Almost Full, and Full. 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. The Almost Empty/Almost Full
flags become synchronous if the VCC/SMODE is tied to VSS.
All configurations are fabricated using an advanced 0.5µ
CMOS technology. Input ESD protection is greater than
2001V, and latch-up is prevented by the use of guard rings.

Architecture
The CY7C4256/65 consists of an array of 8K/16K 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
CY7C4255/65 also includes the control signals WXI, RXI,
WXO, RXO for depth expansion.
Resetting the FIFO
normal read/write operation. When the LD pin is set LOW, and
WEN is LOW, the next offset register in sequence is written.
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).
Table 1. Write Offset Register
WCLK[36]
LD
WEN
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.

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.
Flag Operation
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.
Full Flag
The FIFO contains overflow circuitry to disallow additional
writes when the FIFO is full, and under flow 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.
Empty Flag
Programming
The CY7C4255/65 devices contain two 14-bit offset registers.
Data present on D0–13 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 D0–13 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
Selection
The CY7C4255/65 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.
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.
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 CY7C4255/65 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
that the FIFO is either Almost Full or Almost Empty. See
Table 2 for a description of programmable flags.
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.
Note:
36. The same selection sequence applies to reading from the registers. REN is enabled and read is performed on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLK.

Retransmit
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 stand-alone 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 and at least one word has been
read 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.

Width Expansion Configuration
ANDing the Empty (Full) flags of every FIFO; the PAE and PAF
flags can be detected from any one device. This technique will
avoid reading data from, or writing data to the FIFO that is
“staggered” by one clock cycle due to the variations in skew
between RCLK and WCLK. Figure 1 demonstrates a 36-word
width by using two CY7C4255/65s.
The CY7C4255/65 can be expanded in width to provide word
widths greater than 18 in increments of 18. During width
expansion mode all control line inputs are common and all
flags are available. Empty (Full) flags should be created by

3. The Write Expansion Out (WXO) pin of each device must
be tied to the Write Expansion In (WXI) pin of the next
device.
The CY7C4255/65 can easily be adapted to applications
requiring more than 8192/16384 words of buffering. Figure 2
shows Depth Expansion using three CY7C42X5s. Maximum
depth is limited only by signal loading. Follow these steps:
4. The Read Expansion Out (RXO) pin of each device must
be tied to the Read Expansion In (RXI) pin of the next
device.
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.
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.
