Functional Description
The CY7C451, CY7C453, and CY7C454 are high-speed,
low-power, first-in first-out (FIFO) memories with clocked read
and write interfaces. Both FIFOs are 9 bits wide. The
CY7C451 has a 512-word by 9-bit memory array, the
CY7C453 has a 2048-word by 9-bit memory array, and the
CY7C454 has a 4096-word by 9-bit memory array. Devices
can be cascaded to increase FIFO depth. Programmable fea-
tures include Almost Full/Empty flags and generation/checking
of parity. These FIFOs provide solutions for a wide variety of data
buffering needs, including high-speed data acquisition, multiproces-
sor interfaces, and communications buffering.
Both FIFOs have 9-bit input and output ports that are con-
trolled by separate clock and enable signals. The input port is
controlled by a free-running clock (CKW) and a write enable
pin (ENW). When ENW is asserted, data is written into the FIFO on
the rising edge of the CKW signal. While ENW is held active, data is
continually written into the FIFO on each CKW cycle. The output port
is controlled in a similar manner by a free-running read clock (CKR)
and a read enable pin (ENR). The read (CKR) and write (CKW)
clocks may be tied together for single-clock operation or the two
clocks may be run independently for asynchronous read/write appli-
cations. Clock frequencies up to 83.3 MHz are achievable in the stan-
dalone configuration, and up to 83.3 MHz is achievable when FIFOs
are cascaded for depth expansion.
Depth expansion is possible using the cascade input (XI) and
cascade output (XO). The XO signal is connected to the XI of the next
device, and the XO of the last device should be connected to the XI
of the first device. In standalone mode, the input (XI) pin is simply tied
to V
SS
.
In the standalone and width expansion configurations, a LOW
on the retransmit (RT) input causes the FIFOs to retransmit
the data. Read enable (ENR) and the write enable (ENW)
must both be HIGH during the retransmit, and then ENR is
used to access the data.
