Features
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.

IDT72205/15/25/35/45
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.
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
The CY7C4255/65 are high-speed, low-power, first-in first-out
(FIFO) memories with clocked read and write interfaces. All

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 V SS.
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.
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.

17. After reset, the outputs will be LOW if OE = 0 and three-state if OE = 1.
18. When tSKEW2 > minimum specification, tFRL (maximum) = tCLK + tSKEW2. When tSKEW2 < minimum specification, tFRL (maximum) = either 2*tCLK + tSKEW2 or tCLK +
tSKEW2. The Latency Timing applies only at the Empty Boundary (EF = LOW).

operation. When the LD pin is set LOW, and WEN is LOW, the next
offset register in sequence is written.
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.
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[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.
Selection
Flag Operation
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.
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 Q0–17 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 devices contain two 14-bit offset registers.
Data present on D 0 –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 normal read/write
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.
Notes:
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.

nal 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.
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 inter-
The full depth of the FIFO can be repeatedly retransmitted.

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.
Width Expansion Configuration
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 ANDing

The CY7C4255/65 can easily be adapted to applications requiring more than 8192/16384 words of buffering. Figure 2

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.
