Architecture
The CY7C4261/71 consists of an array of 16K to 32K words
of nine bits each (implemented by a dual-port array of SRAM
cells), a read pointer, a write pointer, control signals (RCLK,
WCLK, REN1, REN2, WEN1, WEN2, RS), and flags (EF, PAE,
PAF, FF).
Resetting the FIFO
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 (Q0−8) go LOW
tRSF after the rising edge of RS. 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. All flags are
guaranteed to be valid tRSF after RS is taken LOW.
FIFO Operation
When the WEN1 signal is active LOW, WEN2 is active HIGH,
and FF is active HIGH, data present on the D0−8 pins is written
into the FIFO on each rising edge of the WCLK signal.
Similarly, when the REN1 and REN2 signals are active LOW
and EF is active HIGH, data in the FIFO memory will be
presented on the Q0−8 outputs. New data will be presented on
each rising edge of RCLK while REN1 and REN2 are active.
REN1 and REN2 must set up tENS before RCLK for it to be a
valid read function. WEN1 and WEN2 must occur tENS before
WCLK for it to be a valid write function.
An output enable (OE) pin is provided to three-state the Q0−8
outputs when OE is asserted. When OE is enabled (LOW),
data in the output register will be available to the Q0−8 outputs
after tOE. If devices are cascaded, the OE function will only
output data on the FIFO that is read enabled.
The FIFO contains overflow circuitry to disallow additional
writes when the FIFO is full, and underflow circuitry to disallow
additional reads when the FIFO is empty. An empty FIFO
maintains the data of the last valid read on its Q0−8 outputs
even after additional reads occur.
Write Enable 1 (WEN1). If the FIFO is configured for program-
mable flags, Write Enable 1 (WEN1) is the only write enable
control pin. In this configuration, when Write Enable 1 (WEN1)
is LOW, data can be loaded into the input register and RAM
array on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every write clock
(WCLK). Data is stored is the RAM array sequentially and
independently of any on-going read operation.
Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD). This is a dual-purpose pin.
The FIFO is configured at Reset to have programmable flags
or to have two write enables, which allows for depth
expansion. If Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD) is set active
HIGH at Reset (RS = LOW), this pin operates as a second
write enable pin.
If the FIFO is configured to have two write enables, when Write
Enable (WEN1) is LOW and Write Enable 2/Load (WEN2/LD)
is HIGH, data can be loaded into the input register and RAM
array on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every write clock
(WCLK). Data is stored in the RAM array sequentially and
independently of any on-going read operation.
Programming
When WEN2/LD is held LOW during Reset, this pin is the load
(LD) enable for flag offset programming. In this configuration,
WEN2/LD can be used to access the four 8-bit offset registers
contained in the CY7C4261/71 for writing or reading data to
these registers.
When the device is configured for programmable flags and
both WEN2/LD and WEN1 are LOW, the first LOW-to-HIGH
transition of WCLK writes data from the data inputs to the
empty offset least significant bit (LSB) register. The second,
third, and fourth LOW-to-HIGH transitions of WCLK store data
in the empty offset most significant bit (MSB) register, full offset
LSB register, and full offset MSB register, respectively, when
WEN2/LD and WEN1 are LOW. The fifth LOW-to-HIGH
transition of WCLK while WEN2/LD and WEN1 are LOW
writes data to the empty LSB register again. Figure 1 shows
the registers sizes and default values for the various device
types.
It is not necessary to write to all the offset registers at one time.
A subset of the offset registers can be written; then by bringing
the WEN2/LD input HIGH, the FIFO is returned to normal read
and write operation. The next time WEN2/LD is brought LOW,
a write operation stores data in the next offset register in
sequence.
The contents of the offset registers can be read to the data
outputs when WEN2/LD is LOW and both REN1 and REN2
are LOW. LOW-to-HIGH transitions of RCLK read register
contents to the data outputs. Writes and reads should not be
performed simultaneously on the offset registers.
Programmable Flag (PAE, PAF) Operation
Whether the flag offset registers are programmed as
described in Table 1 or the default values are used, the
programmable almost-empty flag (PAE) (PAF) states are
determined by their corresponding offset registers and the
difference between the read and write pointers.
