AL4CS2x1 FIFO Block Diagram
The 9bit input and output ports operate
independently at a maximum speed of 133
MHz. The built-in address decoder and
pointer managing circuits provide a
straightforward bus interface to serially
read/write memory that reduces inter-chip
design efforts. The AL4CS2x1 embedded
memory array and high performance process
technologies with extended controller
functions (read skip, fixed and programmable
status flags.. etc.) offer flexible memory
management.
The input data is synchronous with a freerunning clock (WCLK), and input-enable pins
(/WEN1, /WEN2). Data is written into the
FIFO on every clock when enable pins are
asserted. The output is synchronous with the
other free-running clock (RCLK) and enables
(/REN1, /REN2).
An Output Enable pin
(/OE) is provided at the read port for tri-state
control of the output port. The FIFOs can
output two fixed flags, Empty Flag( /EF) and
Full Flag (/FF), and two programmable flags,
Almost-Empty (/PAE) and Almost-Full
(/PAF). The offsets of the /PAE and /PAF
flags are loaded when Load pin (/LD) goes
low.
