ALMOST-EMPTYFLAGANDALMOST-FULLFLAGOFFSETPROGRAMMING
Four registers in these devices are used to hold the offset values for the
Almost-EmptyandAlmost-Fullflags. TheportBAlmost-Emptyflag(
AEB)Offset
register is labeled X1 and the port A Almost-Empty flag (
AEA)Offsetregisteris
labeled X2. The port A Almost-Full flag (
AFA)OffsetregisterislabeledY1and
theportBAlmost-Fullflag(
AFB)OffsetregisterislabeledY2. Theindexofeach
register name corresponds to its FIFO number. The offset registers can be

to load the preset value of 64 into X1 and Y1, FS0 and FS1 must be HIGH when

are loaded with one of the preset values in the same way with FIFO2 Reset
(
RST2) toggled simultaneously with FIFO1 Reset (RST1). For preset value

— PARALLEL LOAD FROM PORT A
To program the X1, X2, Y1, and Y2 registers from port A, both FlFOs should
be reset simultaneously with FS0 and FS1 LOW during the LOW-to-HIGH
transitionoftheResetinputs. Itisimportanttonotethatonceparallelprogramming

inputsmustremainLOWduringallsubsequentFIFOoperation. Theycanonly
be toggled HIGH when future Master Resets are performed and other
programming methods are desired.
After this reset is complete, the first four writes to FIFO1 do not store data in
the FIFO memory but load the offset registers in the order Y1, X1, Y2, X2. The
port A data inputs used by the offset registers are (A7-A0), (A8-A0), or (A9-A0)
SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
RESET
After power up, a Master Reset operation must be performed by providing
a LOW pulse to
RST1 and RST2 simultaneously. Afterwards, the FIFO
memories of the IDT723652/723662/723672 are reset separately by taking
theirReset(
RST1,RST2)inputsLOWforatleastfourport-AClock(CLKA)and
four port-B Clock (CLKB) LOW-to-HIGH transitions. The Reset inputs can
switch asynchronously to the clocks. A FIFO reset initializes the internal read
and write pointers and forces the Input Ready flag (IRA, IRB) LOW, the Output
Ready flag (ORA, ORB) LOW, the Almost-Empty flag (
AEA, AEB) LOW, and
theAlmost-Fullflag(
AFA,AFB)HIGH. ResettingaFIFOalsoforcestheMailbox

Almost-Empty offset programming method. (For details see Table 1, Flag
Programming,andtheProgrammingtheAlmost-EmptyandAlmost-FullFlags
section). The relevant FIFO Reset timing diagram can be found in Figure 2.
FIRST WORD FALL THROUGH (
FWFT)
After Master Reset, the FWFT select function is active, permitting a choice
between two possible timing modes: IDT Standard mode or First Word Fall
Through (FWFT) mode. Once the Reset (
RST1,RST2)inputisHIGH,aHIGH
on the
FWFT input during the next LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA (for
FIFO1) and CLKB (for FIFO2) will select IDT Standard mode. This mode uses
the Empty Flag function (
EFA, EFB) to indicate whether or not there are any
words present in the FIFO memory. It uses the Full Flag function (
FFA, FFB)
to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space for writing. In
IDT Standard mode, every word read from the FIFO, including the first, must
be requested using a formal read operation.
Once the Reset (
RST1, RST2) input is HIGH, a LOW on the FWFT input
during the next LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKA (for FIFO1) and CLKB (for
FIFO2) will select FWFT mode. This mode uses the Output Ready function
(ORA, ORB) to indicate whether or not there is valid data at the data outputs
(A0-A35orB0-B35). ItalsousestheInputReadyfunction(IRA,IRB)toindicate
whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space for writing. In the FWFT
mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO goes directly to data outputs, no
NOTES:
1. X1 register holds the offset for
AEB; Y1 register holds the offset for AFA.
2. X2 register holds the offset for
AEA; Y2 register holds the offset for AFB.
3. If parallel programming is selected during a Master Reset, then FS0 & FS1 must remain LOW during FIFO operation.
