the read and write pointers is much less than the time that
would be required for data propagation through the memory,
which would be the case if the memory were implemented
using the conventional register array architecture.
Architecture
The CY7C419, CY7C420/1, CY7C424/5, CY7C428/9,
CY7C432/3 FIFOs consist of an array of 256, 512, 1024, 2048,
4096 words of 9 bits each (implemented by an array of du-
al-port RAM cells), a read pointer, a write pointer, control sig-
nals (W, R, XI, XO, FL, RT, MR), and Full, Half Full, and Empty
flags.
Resetting the FIFO
Upon power-up, the FIFO must be reset with a Master Reset
(MR) cycle. This causes the FIFO to enter the empty condition
signified by the Empty flag (EF) being LOW, and both the Half
Full (HF) and Full flags (FF) being HIGH. Read (R) and write
Dual-Port RAM
The dual-port RAM architecture refers to the basic memory
cell used in the RAM. The cell itself enables the read and write
operations to be independent of each other, which is neces-
sary to achieve truly asynchronous operation of the inputs and
outputs. A second benefit is that the time required to increment
(W) must be HIGH tRPW/tWPW before and tRMR after the rising
edge of MR for a valid reset cycle. If reading from the FIFO
after a reset cycle is attempted, the outputs will all be in the
high-impedance state.
