Functional Description
The CY7C436X3AV is a monolithic, high-speed, low-power,
CMOS Unidirectional Synchronous FIFO memory which
supports clock frequencies up to 133 MHz and has Read
access times as fast as 6 ns.
The CY7C436X3AV 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 CY7C436X3AV: 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 CY7C436X3AV 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 FWFT/STAN 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 empty or not. FF indicates whether the
memory is full. 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.
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]
FF/IR and AF are synchronized to the port clock that writes
data into its array. EF/OR and AE are synchronized to the port
clock that reads data from its array. Programmable offset for
AE and AF are 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 CY7C436X3AV are characterized for operation from
0°C – 70°C commercial and from –40°C – 85°C industrial.
Input ESD protection is greater than 2001V, and latch-up is
prevented by the use of guard rings.

Note:
2. When FIFO is operated at the almost empty/full boundary, there may be an uncertainty of up to two clock cycles for flag deassertion, but the flag will always
be asserted exactly when the FIFO content reaches the programmed value. Use the assertion edge for trigger if flag accuracy is required. Refer to Cypress’s
application note entitled “Designing with CY7C436xx Synchronous FIFOs” for more details on flag uncertainties.

I
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 CY7C43643AV, 24 for the CY7C43663AV, and 28 for the CY7C43683AV.
The first bit Write stores the Y-register MSB and the last bit Write stores the X-register
LSB.

Signal Description
Master Reset (MRS1, MRS2)
The FIFO memory of the CY7C436X3AV 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,
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)
The FIFO memory of the CY7C436X3AV 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 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 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 CY 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
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.
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
Document #: 38-06024 Rev. *C
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 of the second 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
(IR) function 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 CY7C436X3AV 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 1).
To load a FIFO’s Almost Empty flag and Almost Full flag offset
registers with one of the three preset values listed in Table 1,
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
Page 6 of 28
CY7C43663AV
CY7C43643AV
CY7C43683AV
CY7C436X3AV, 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 – 1023 for the CY7C43643AV, 0 – 4095 for the
CY7C43663AV, and 0 – 16383 for the CY7C43683AV.[2]
Before programming the offset registers, FF/IR is set HIGH.
FIFOs begin normal operation after programming is complete.
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.
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 CY7C436X3AV, 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 – 1023
(CY7C43643AV), 0 – 4095 (CY7C43663AV), and 0 – 16383
(CY7C43683AV).
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.
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 mail2
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 2). 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
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 3). 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.

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 CLKB. FF/IR and AF are synchronized
to CLKA. Table 4 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 remains
in the FIFO output register and any FIFO reads are ignored.
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 Empty Flag is LOW, the previous data word remains in
the FIFO output register and any FIFO reads are ignored.
The Empty/Output Ready flag of a FIFO is synchronized to
CLKB. 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, empty + 1, or empty + 2.
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
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
Page 7 of 28
CY7C43663AV
CY7C43643AV
CY7C43683AV
Write if the clock transition occurs at time tSKEW1 or greater
after the Write. Otherwise, the subsequent clock cycle will 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 any writes to the
FIFO are ignored.
The Full/Input Ready flag of a FIFO is synchronized to CLKA.
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, full – 1, or full – 2. 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, a
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.
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.
Almost Empty Flags (AE)
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, almost
empty + 1, or almost empty + 2. 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 + 2) or more
words.[2]
The Almost Empty flag is set HIGH by the first CLKB rising
edge after two FIFO writes that fills memory to the (X + 2) level.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKB begins the first synchronization cycle if it occurs at time tSKEW2 or greater after the Write
that fills the FIFO to (X + 2) words. Otherwise, the subsequent
synchronizing clock cycle will be the first synchronization
cycle.
Almost Full Flags (AF)
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, almost
full – 1, or almost full – 2. 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
Document #: 38-06024 Rev. *C
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
CY7C436X3AV respectively. An Almost Full flag is HIGH when
the number of words in its FIFO is less than or equal to
[1024 – (Y + 2)], [4096 – (Y + 2)], or [16384 – (Y + 2)], for the
CY7C436X3AV respectively.
The Almost Full flag is set HIGH by the first CLKA rising edge
after two FIFO reads that reduces the number of words in
memory to [1024/4096/16384 – (Y + 2)]. A LOW-to-HIGH
transition of CLKA 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 + 2)]. Otherwise, the subsequent synchronizing clock cycle
will 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 of 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
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 if the port Mailbox Select
input is LOW and from the mail register if 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.
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.
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
Bus-Matching FIFO Reads
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.
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.
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 the FIFO memory on
the CY7C436X3AV. Bus-matching operations are done after
data is read from the FIFO. These bus-matching 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.
Document #: 38-06024 Rev. *C
When reading data from the FIFO in the byte or word format,
the unused B9–35 or B18–35 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 retransmitted.

Notes:
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.
8. BE is selected at Master Reset; BM and SIZE must be static throughout device operation.

Notes:
22. MRS1/MRS2 must be HIGH during Partial Reset.
23. CSA = LOW, W/RA = HIGH, MBA = LOW. It is not necessary to program offset register on consecutive clock cycles. FIFO can only be programmed in
parallel when FF/IR is HIGH.
24. 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.

38. D = Maximum FIFO Depth = 1K for the CY7C43643AV, 4K for the 43663AV, and 16K for the CY7C43683AV.
39. If Port B size is word or byte, tSKEW2 is referenced to the rising CLKB edge that writes the last word or byte of the long word, respectively.
40. tSKEW2 is the minimum time between a rising CLKA edge and a rising CLKB edge for AF to transition HIGH in the next CLKA cycle. If the time between the
rising CLKA edge and rising CLKB edge is less than tSKEW2, then AF may transition HIGH one CLKB cycle later than shown.

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. 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 RT, and
during the retransmit operation, i.e, when RT is LOW and tRTR after the RT rising edge.
48. The Empty and Full flags may change state during Retransmit as a result of the offset of the Read and Write pointers, but the Empty and Full flags will be
valid at tRTR.
49. For the AE and AF flags, two clock cycles are necessary after tRTR to update these flags.
50. 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.
