The CY7C4261/71 are high-speed, low-power, first-in first-out
(FIFO) memories with clocked read and write interfaces. All
are 9 bits wide. The CY7C4261/71 are pin-compatible to the
CY7C42X1 Synchronous FIFO family. The CY7C4261/71 can
be cascaded to increase FIFO width. Programmable features
include Almost Full/Almost Empty flags. These FIFOs provide
solutions for a wide variety of data buffering needs, including
high-speed data acquisition, multiprocessor interfaces, and commu-
nications buffering.
These 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 (WCLK) and two write-en-
able pins (WEN1, WEN2/LD).
When WEN1 is LOW and WEN2/LD is HIGH, data is written into the
FIFO on the rising edge of the WCLK signal. While WEN1, WEN2/LD
is held active, data is continually written into the FIFO on each WCLK
cycle. The output port is controlled in a similar manner by a free-run-
ning read clock (RCLK) and two read enable pins (REN1, REN2). In
addition, the CY7C4261/71 has an output enable pin (OE). The read
(RCLK) and write (WCLK) clocks may be tied together for single-clock
operation or the two clocks may be run independently for asynchro-
nous read/write applications. Clock frequencies up to 100 MHz are
achievable. Depth expansion is possible using one enable input
for system control, while the other enable is controlled by ex-
pansion logic to direct the flow of data.
