Functional Description
(continued)
bypass register provides a means of sending a 9-bit status or
control word to the FIFO-write port. The bypass data available
pin (BDA) indicates whether the bypass register is full or emp-
ty. The direction of the bypass register is always opposite to
that of the main FIFO.
The port designated to write to the bypass register drives its
bypass control pin (BYPX) LOW. The other port detects the
presence of data by monitoring BDA and reads the data by
driving its bypass control pin (BYPX) LOW. Registered bypass
operations require that the associated FIFO strobe pin (STBX)
remains HIGH. Registered bypass operations do not affect
data residing in the FIFO, or FIFO operations at the other port.
Transparent bypass provides a means of transferring a single
word (9 bits) of data immediately in either direction. This fea-
ture allows the device to act as a simple 9-bit bidirectional buff-
er. This is useful for allowing the controlling circuitry to access
a dumb peripheral for control/programming information.
For transparent bypass, the port wishing to send immediate
data to the other side drives both its bypass and its strobe pins
LOW simultaneously. This causes the buffered data to be driv-
en out of the other port. On-chip circuitry detects conflicting
use of the control pins and causes both data ports to enter a
high-impedance state until the conflict is resolved.
Additionally, a Test mode is offered on the CY7C439. This
mode allows the user to load data into the FIFO and then read
it back out of the same port. Built-In Self Test (BIST) and diag-
nostic functions can take advantage of these features.
The CY7C439 is fabricated using an advanced 0.8
μ
N-well
CMOS technology. Input ESD protection is greater than 2000V
and latch-up is prevented by reliable layout techniques, guard
rings, and a substrate bias generator.
