Wr ite Enable (W)A write cycle is initiated on the falling edge of this input if the Full Flag (FF) is not set.
D ata s et-u p and hold time s mus t be mai ntai ned in the rise time of th e lea ding edge of
the Write Enable (W). Data is stored sequentially in the Ram array, regardless of any
current read operation.
Once half the memory is filled, and during the falling edge of the next write operation,
the Half-Full Flag (HF) w ill be set to low and remain in this s tate until the di fference
between the write and read pointers is les s than or equal to half of the total available
memory in the device. The Half-Full Flag (HF) is then reset by the rising edge of the
read operation.
To prevent data overflow, the Full Flag (FF) will go low, inhibiting further write opera-
tions. On completion of a valid read operation, the Full Flag (FF) will go high af ter TRFF,
allowing a valid write to begin. When the FIFO stack is full, the internal write pointer is
blocked f rom W, so that external changes to W will have no effect on the full FIFO stac k.
Read Enable (R)A read cycle is initiated on the falling edge of the Read Enable (R) provided that the
Empt y Flag (EF) is not set. The da ta is acces sed on a first-in/first-out ba sis , no t includ-
ing any current write operations. After Read Enable (R) goes high, the Data Outputs (Q0
- Q8 ) will r eturn t o a high i mped anc e state until th e nex t Read o per ation. W he n all th e
data in the FIFO stack has been read, the Empty Flag (EF) will go low, allowing the
“final” read cycle, but inhibiting f urth er read operat ions while the data output s remain in
a high impedance state. Once a valid write operation has been completed, the Empty
Flag (EF) will go high after tWEF and a valid read may then be initiated. When the FIFO
stack is empty, the internal read pointer is blocked from R, so that external changes to R
will have no effect on the empty FIFO stack.
First Load/Retransm it
(FL/RT) This pin is a dua l-purpose input. In the Depth Exp ansion Mode, this pin is con nected to
ground t o i ndicat e that it is the first loaded (see O perat ing Mo des ). In the Si ngle Device
Mode , this pin acts as the retransmi t input . Th e Single Device Mod e is initiated by con-
necting the Expansion In (XI) to ground.
The M672 06H c an be s et to retra nsmi t data w hen t he Ret ransm it Ena ble Cont rol (RT)
input is pulsed low. A retransmit operation will set the internal read point to the first loca-
tion and will not affect the write pointer. Read Enable (R) and Write Enable (W) must be
in the high state during retransmit. The retransmit feature is intended for use when a
numbe r of writes are e qual to or l ess than the depth of the F IFO h as occu rred since t he
last RS cycle. The retransmit feature is not compatible with the Depth Expansion Mode
and will affect the Half-Full Flag (HF), in accordance with the relativ e locations of the
read and write pointers.
Expansion In (XI)The XI i nput is a dual-purpose pin. Expansion In (XI) is connected to GND to indicate an
ope rati on in th e si ngle device mod e. E xpans ion In (XI) is connected to Expansion Out
(XO) of the previous device in the Depth Expansion or Dais y Chain modes.
Full Flag (FF)The Full Flag (FF) wi ll go low, inhibiting further write operations when the write pointer is
one location less than the read po inter, indicating that the device is full. If the read
pointer is not moved after Reset (RS), the Full Flag (FF) will go low after 16384 writes.
Emp ty Flag (EF)The Em pty Flag (EF) will go low, inhibiting further read operations when the read pointer
is equal to the write pointer, indicating tha t the device is empty.
