Functional Description (continued)
The CY7C4255/65 provides five status pins. These pins are
decoded to determine one of five states: Empty, Almost
Empty, Half Full, Almost Full, and Full. The Half Full flag
shares the WXO pin. This flag is valid in the stand-alone and
width-expansion configurations. In the depth expansion, this
pin provides the expansion out (WXO) information that is used
to signal the next FIFO when it will be activated.
The Empty and Full flags are synchronous, i.e., they change
state relative to either the Read Clock (RCLK) or the Write
Clock (WCLK). When entering or exiting the Empty states, the
flag is updated exclusively by the RCLK. The flag denoting Full
states is updated exclusively by WCLK. The synchronous flag
architecture guarantees that the flags will remain valid from
one clock cycle to the next. The Almost Empty/Almost Full
flags become synchronous if the VCC/SMODE is tied to VSS.
All configurations are fabricated using an advanced 0.5
µ
CMOS technology. Input ESD protection is greater than
2001V, and latch-up is prevented by the use of guard rings.
