NOTES:
1.
In IDT-compatible cascading, a reset operation forces WXO/HF and RXO/
EF
2
HIGH for the nth FIFO, thus forcing WXI/
WEN
2
and RXI/
REN
2
HIGH for the (n + 1)st FIFO.
2.
The terms ‘master’ and ‘slave’ refer to IDT-compatible cascading. In pipelined cascading
4
, there is no such distinction.
3. Once grouping mode has been determined during a reset operation, FL/RT then may go HIGH to activate a retransmit operation.
4.
EMODE must be asserted for access to the Control Register to be enabled. Also, FIFOs being used in a pipelined-cascading
configuration should be in Interlocked Paralleled mode.
5.
Setup-time and recovery-time specifications apply during a reset operation.
6.
H = HIGH; L = LOW; X = Don’t Care.
