The CY7C4282/CY7C4292 are high-speed, low-power, FIFO memories with clocked read and write interfaces. All devices are nine bits wide. The CY7C4282/CY7C4292 can be cascaded to increase FIFO depth. 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, video and communications buffering.

These FIFOs have 9-bit input and output ports that are controlled by separate clock and enable signals. The input port is controlled by a free-running clock (WCLK) and a write-enable pin (/WEN).

Retransmit and Synchronous Almost Full/Almost Empty flag features are available on these devices.

Depth expansion is possible using the cascade input (/XI), cascade output (/XO), and First Load (/FL) pins. The /XO pin is connected to the /XI pin of the next device, and the /XO pin of the last device should be connected to the /XI pin of the first device. The /FL pin of the first device is tied to VSS and the /FL pin of all the remaining devices should be tied to V_CC.

When WEN is asserted, data is written into the FIFO on the rising edge of the WCLK signal. While WEN is held active, data is continually written into the FIFO on each cycle. The output port is controlled in a similar manner by a free-running read clock (RCLK) and a read enable pin (REN). In addition, the CY7C4282/92 have an output enable pin (OE). The read and write clocks may be tied together for single-clock operation or the two clocks may be run independently for asynchronous read/write applications. Clock frequencies up to 100 MHz are achievable.
