For serial programming, SEN together with LD on each rising edge of
WCLK,areusedtoloadtheoffsetregistersviatheSerialInput(SI). Forparallel
programming,WENtogetherwithLDoneachrisingedgeofWCLK,areused
toloadtheoffsetregistersviaDn. RENtogetherwithLDoneachrisingedge
of RCLK can be used to read the offsets in parallel from Qn regardless of
whetherserialorparalleloffsetloadinghasbeenselected.
DuringMasterReset(MRS)thefollowingeventsoccur:Thereadandwrite
pointers are set to the first location of the FIFO. The FWFT pin selects IDT
StandardmodeorFWFTmode. TheLDpinselectseitherapartialflagdefault

The Partial Reset (PRS) also sets the read and write pointers to the first
locationofthememory. However,thetimingmode,partialflagprogramming

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Therearetwopossibletimingmodesofoperationwiththesedevices:IDT
Standard mode and First Word Fall Through (FWFT) mode.
InIDTStandardmode,thefirstwordwrittentoanemptyFIFOwillnotappear
onthedataoutputlinesunlessaspecificreadoperationisperformed.Aread
operation,whichconsistsofactivatingRENandenablingarisingRCLKedge,
willshiftthewordfrominternalmemorytothedataoutputlines.
InFWFTmode,thefirstwordwrittentoanemptyFIFOis clockeddirectly
tothedataoutputlinesafter threetransitionsoftheRCLKsignal.ARENdoes
not have to be asserted foraccessingthe first word. However, subsequent
wordswrittentotheFIFOdorequireaLOWonRENforaccess. Thestateof
theFWFT/SIinputduringMasterResetdeterminesthetimingmodeinuse.
ForapplicationsrequiringmoredatastoragecapacitythanasingleFIFO
can provide, the FWFT timing mode permits depth expansion by chaining
FIFOs in series (i.e. the data outputs of one FIFO are connected to the
corresponding data inputs of the next). No external logic is required.
These FIFOs have five flagpins, EF/OR (EmptyFlagorOutputReady),
FF/IR (Full Flag or Input Ready), HF (Half-full Flag), PAE (Programmable
Almost-Emptyflag)andPAF(ProgrammableAlmost-Fullflag). TheEFand
FF functions are selectedinIDTStandardmode. The IR and OR functions
areselectedinFWFTmode. HF,PAEandPAFarealwaysavailableforuse,
irrespectiveoftimingmode.
