Functional Description
The CY7C455, CY7C456, and CY7C457 are high-speed,
low-power, first-in first-out (FIFO) memories with clocked read
and write interfaces. All are 18 bits wide. The CY7C455 has a
512-word memory array, the CY7C456 has a 1,024-word
memory array, and the CY7C457 has a 2,048-word memory
array. The CY7C455, CY7C456, and CY7C457 can be cas-
caded to increase FIFO depth. Programmable features include
Almost Full/Empty flags and generation/checking of parity.
These FIFOs provide solutions for a wide variety of data buff-
ering needs, including high-speed data acquisition, multipro-
cessor interfaces, and communications buffering.
These FIFOs have 18-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).
