CY7C4255V/CY7C4265V CY7C4275V/CY7C4285V 32K/64Kx18 Low Voltage Deep Sync FIFOs Features Functional Description The CY7C4255/65/75/85V 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 CY7C42X5V Synchronous FIFO family. The CY7C4255/65/75/85V 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. • 3.3V operation for low power consumption and easy integration into low-voltage systems • High-speed, low-power, first-in first-out (FIFO) memories • 8K x 18 (CY7C4255V) • 16K x 18 (CY7C4265V) • 32K x 18 (CY7C4275V) • 64K x 18 (CY7C4285V) • 0.35 micron CMOS for optimum speed/power • High-speed 100-MHz operation (10-ns read/write cycle times) • Low power — ICC = 30 mA 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 CY7C4255/65/75/85V 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 67 MHz are achievable. — ISB = 4 mA • Fully asynchronous and simultaneous read and write operation • Empty, Full, Half Full, and programmable Almost Empty and Almost Full status flags • Retransmit function • Output Enable (OE) pin • Independent read and write enable pins • Supports free-running 50% duty cycle clock inputs • Width Expansion Capability • Depth Expansion Capability • 64-pin 10x10 STQFP • Pin-compatible density upgrade to CY7C42X5V-ASC families • Pin-compatible 3.3V solutions for CY7C4255/65/75/85 D0 – Logic Block Diagram 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. 17 INPUT REGISTER WCLK WEN FLAG PROGRAM REGISTER WRITE CONTROL High Density Dual-Port RAM Array 8Kx9 16Kx9 32Kx9 64Kx9 WRITE POINTER RS FL/RT WXI WXO/HF RXI RXO FF EF PAE PAF SMODE FLAG LOGIC READ POINTER RESET LOGIC THREE-ST ATE OUTPUT REGISTER EXPANSION LOGIC Cypress Semiconductor Corporation Q0 – • 17 READ CONTROL OE 3901 North First Street RCLK • REN San Jose 4275V–1 • CA 95134 • 408-943-2600 November 20, 2000 CY7C4255V/CY7C4265V CY7C4275V/CY7C4285V 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 RCLK REN LD OE RS VCC GND EF Q17 Q16 GND Q15 CY7C4255V CY7C4265V CY7C4275V CY7C4285V 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 D15 D14 D13 D12 D 11 D 10 D9 D8 D7 64 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 D16 D17 GND STQFP Top View VCC/SMODE Pin Configuration Q14 Q13 GND Q12 Q11 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 VCC Q10 Q9 GND Q8 Q7 Q6 Q5 GND Q4 VCC Q3 Q0 Q1 GND Q2 PAE FL/RT WCLK WEN WXI VCC PAF RXI FF XO/HF RXO 4275V–3 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 V CC/SMODE is tied to VSS. All configurations are fabricated using an advanced 0.35µ CMOS technology. Input ESD protection is greater than 2001V, and latch-up is prevented by the use of guard rings. Functional Description (continued) The CY7C4255/65/75/85V 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.

Clocks are free-running in this case. 32. The flags may change state during Retransmit as a result of the offset of the read and write pointers, but flags will be valid at t RTR. 33. For the synchronous PAE and PAF flags (SMODE), an appropriate clock cycle is necessary after tRTR to update these flags. 14 CY7C4255V/CY7C4265V CY7C4275V/CY7C4285V Architecture normal read/write operation. When the LD pin is set LOW, and WEN is LOW, the next offset register in sequence is written. The CY7C4255/65/75/85V consists of an array of 8K/16K/32K/64K 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 CY7C4255/65/75/85V also includes the control signals WXI, RXI, WXO, RXO for depth expansion. 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 Resetting the FIFO WCLK[34] 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, the user must not read or write while RS is LOW. 0 0 Writing to offset registers: Empty Offset Full Offset 0 1 No Operation FIFO Operation 1 0 Write Into FIFO 1 1 No 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. Selection Flag Operation The CY7C4255/65/75/85V 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. 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 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 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 Q 0–17 outputs even after additional reads occur. 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. Programming The CY7C4255/65/75/85V devices contain two 16-bit offset registers. Data present on D0–15 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 D0–15 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 LOWto-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 Programmable Almost Empty/Almost Full Flag The CY7C4255/65/75/85V 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: 34. 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. 15 CY7C4255V/CY7C4265V CY7C4275V/CY7C4285V Table 2.

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 full depth of the FIFO can be repeatedly retransmitted. Width Expansion Configuration 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. The CY7C4255/65/75/85V 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 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.

The Write Expansion Out (WXO) pin of each device must be tied to the Write Expansion In (WXI) pin of the next device. The CY7C4255/65/75/85V can easily be adapted to applications requiring more than 8K/16K/32K/64K words of buffering. Figure 2 shows Depth Expansion using three CY7C4255/65/ 75/85Vs. 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. 5. All Load (LD) pins are tied together. 6. The Half-Full Flag (HF) is not available in the Depth Expansion Configuration. 1. The first device must be designated by grounding the First Load (FL) control input. 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. 2. All other devices must have FL in the HIGH state.
