Deassertion of LD does not
reset the programmable-
register write pointer and
read pointer.
Deassertion of LD resets
the programmable-register
write pointer and read
pointer to address Word 0,
the Programmable-Almost-
Empty-Flag-Offset Register.
The change takes effect
after a valid write operation
or a valid read operation,
respectively, to the memory
array.

Inhibits the read-address

thus, guards against data

OE has no effect on an
internal read operation,
apart from disabling the
outputs.
Deassertion of OE inhibits
a read operation; whenever
the data outputs Q

read pointer does not

NOTES:
1.
When
EMODE
is HIGH, and
Control Register bits 00-05 are LOW,
the FIFO behaves in a manner functionally equivalent to the
IDT72235B/45B FIFO of similar depth and speed grade. Under these conditions, the
Control Register
is not visible or accessible to the ex-
ternal system which includes the FIFO.
2.
If
EMODE
is not asserted (is HIGH),
Control Register bits 00-05 remain LOW
after a reset operation.
However, if EMODE is asserted (is
LOW) during a reset operation, Control Register bits 00-05 are forced HIGH, and remain HIGH until changed. Control Register bits
06-11 are unaffected by EMODE.
