CY7C4425V/4235V/4245V
64/256/512/1K/2K/4K x18 Low-Voltage Synchronous FIFOs
Features
Functional Description
• 3.3V operation for low power consumption and easy
integration into low-voltage systems
The CY7C42X5V are high-speed, low-power, first-in first-out
(FIFO) memories with clocked read and write interfaces. All
are 18 bits wide. The CY7C42X5V 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.

• 0.65µ CMOS
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
CY7C42X5V 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 66 MHz are
achievable.
• High-speed 67-MHz operation (15-ns read/write cycle
times)
• Low power
— ICC = 30 mA
• 5V tolerant inputs (VIH MAX = 5V)
• Fully asynchronous and simultaneous read and write
operation
Retransmit and Synchronous Almost Full/Almost Empty flag
features are available on these devices.
• Empty, Full, HalfFull, andprogrammableAlmostEmpty
and Almost Full status flags
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
• TTL-compatible
• Retransmit function
• Output Enable (OE) pin
• Independent read and write enable pins
• Supports free-running 50% duty cycle clock inputs
• Width-Expansion Capability
FL pin of all the remaining devices should be tied to VCC
.
The CY7C42X5V 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.
• Depth-Expansion Capability
• 64-pin 14 × 14 TQFP and 64-pin 10 × 10 STQFP
• Pb-Free packages available
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. As mentioned previously, the
Almost Empty/Almost Full flags become synchronous if the
V
CC/SMODE is tied to VSS. All configurations are fabricated
using an advanced 0.65µ P-Well CMOS technology. Input
ESD protection is greater than 2001V, and latch-up is
prevented by the use of guard rings.
