SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS

INPUTS:

DATA IN (D0–D8)

— Data inputs for 9-bit wide data.

CONTROLS:

RESET ( RS ) — Reset is accomplished whenever the Reset (RS) input is

takentoaLOWstate. Duringreset,bothinternalreadandwritepointersareset

tothefirstlocation.Aresetisrequiredafterpower-upbeforeawriteoperationcan

take place. Both the Read Enable (R) and Write Enable (W) inputs must

beintheHIGHstateduringthewindowshowninFigure2(i.e.tRSSbefore

the rising edge of RS) and should not change until tRSR after the rising

edge of RS.

WRITE ENABLE ( W ) — A write cycle is initiated on the falling edge of this

inputiftheFullFlag(FF)isnotset.Dataset-upandholdtimesmustbeadhered-

to,withrespecttotherisingedgeoftheWriteEnable(W).DataisstoredintheRAM

array sequentially and independently of any on-going read operation.

of a valid read operation, the Full Flag (FF) will go HIGH after tRFF, allowing a

newvalidwritetobegin.WhentheFIFOisfull,theinternalwritepointerisblocked

READENABLE(R)—A readcycleisinitiatedonthefallingedgeoftheRead

Enable (R), provided the Empty Flag (EF) is not set. The data is accessed on

aFirst-In/First-Outbasis,independentofanyongoingwriteoperations. AfterRead

Enable (R) goes HIGH, the Data Outputs (Q0 through Q8) will return to a high-

impedanceconditionuntilthenextReadoperation. Whenallthedatahasbeen

read from the FIFO, the Empty Flag (EF) will go LOW, allowing the “final” read

cyclebutinhibitingfurtherreadoperations,withthedataoutputsremaininginahigh-

impedancestate.Onceavalidwriteoperationhasbeenaccomplished,theEmpty

Flag (EF) will go HIGH after tWEF and a valid Read can then begin. When the
