Figure 2. Writing to Offset Registers for FIFOs A and B

When either of the two Read Enable, RENA1, RENA2 (RENB1, RENB2)

associatedwithFIFOA(B)isHIGH,theoutputregisterholdsthepreviousdata

and no new data is allowed to be loaded into the register.

When all the data has been read from FIFO A (B), the Empty Flag, EFA

(EFB) will go LOW, inhibiting further read operations. Once a valid write

valid read can begin. The Read Enables, RENA1, RENA2(RENB1, RENB2)

are ignored when FIFO A (B) is empty.

Output Enable (OEA, OEB) — When Output Enable, OEA (OEB) is

enabled(LOW),theparalleloutputbuffersofFIFOA(B)receivedatafromtheir

respective output register. When Output Enable, OEA (OEB) is disabled

(HIGH), the QA (QB) output data bus is in a high-impedance state.

Write Enable 2/Load (WENA2/LDA, WENB2/LDB) — This is a dual-

purpose pin. FIFO A (B) is configured at Reset to have programmable flags

or to have two write enables, which allows depth expansion. If WENA2/LDA

(WENB2/LDB) issetHIGHatReset,RSA=LOW(RSB=LOW),thispinoperates

as a second Write Enable pin.

If FIFO A (B) is configured to have two write enables, when Write Enable

Inthisconfiguration,whenWENA1(WENB1)isHIGHand/orWENA2/LDA

(WENB2/LDB) is LOW, the input register of Array A holds the previous data

(RSB) input is taken to a LOW state. During reset, the internal read and write

pointersassociatedwiththeFIFOaresettothefirstlocation.Aresetisrequired

after power-up before a write operation can take place. The Full Flag, FFA

is initialized to all zeros and the offset registers are initialized to their default

values.

WriteClock(WCLKA,WCLKB)—AwritecycletoArrayA(B)isinitiated

on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLKA (WCLKB). Data set-up and hold

times must be met with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of WCLKA

(WCLKB). The Full Flag, FFA (FFB) and Programmable Almost-Full Flag,

PAFA(PAFB)aresynchronizedwithrespecttotheLOW-to-HIGHtransitionof

theWriteClock,WCLKA(WCLKB).

The Write and Read clock can be asynchronous or coincident.

Write Enable 1 (WENA1, WENB1) — If FIFO A (B) is configured for

programmable flags, WENA1(WENB1) is the only enable control pin. In this

configuration,whenWENA1(WENB1)isLOW,datacanbeloadedintotheinput

register of RAM Array A (B) on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of every Write

Clock, WCLKA (WCLKB). Data is stored in Array A (B) sequentially and

independently of any on-going read operation.

In this configuration, when WENA1 (WENB1) is HIGH, the input register

holds the previous data and no new data is allowed to be loaded into the

register.

IftheFIFOisconfiguredtohavetwowriteenables,whichallowsfordepth

expansion. See Write Enable 2 paragraph below for operation in this

configuration.

To prevent data overflow, FFA(FFB) will go LOW, inhibiting further write

operations. Upon the completion of a valid read cycle, the FFA(FFB) will go

when FIFO A (B) is full.

Read Clock (RCLKA, RCLKB) — Data can be read from Array A (B)

on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLKA (RCLKB). The Empty Flag, EFA

(EFB)andProgrammableAlmost-EmptyFlag,PAEA(PAEB)aresynchronized

with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of RCLKA (RCLKB).

The Write and Read Clock can be asynchronous or coincident.

Read Enables (RENA1, RENA2, RENB1, RENB2) — When both Read

Enables, RENA1, RENA2(RENB1, RENB2) are LOW, data is read from Array

A(B)totheoutputregisterontheLOW-to-HIGHtransitionoftheReadClock,

RCLKA (RCLKB).

2. The same selection sequence applies to reading from the registers. RENA1 and RENA2

(RENB1 and RENB2) are enabled and read is performed on the LOW-to-HIGH transition

of RCLKA (RCLKB).
