SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
INPUTS:
DATA IN (D0 – Dn)
(D0 – D39) are data inputs for the 40-bit wide data, (D0 – D19) are data
inputs for the 20-bit wide data, or (D0 – D9) are data inputs for 10-bit wide data.
CONTROLS:
MASTER RESET (MRS)
A Master Reset is accomplished whenever the MRS input is taken to a LOW
state. This operation sets the internal read and write pointers to the first location
of the RAM array. PAE will go LOW and PAF will go HIGH.
If FWFT is LOW during Master Reset then IDT Standard mode along with
EF and FF are selected. EF will go LOW and FF will go HIGH, If FWFT is
HIGH, then the First Word Fall Through (FWFT) mode, along with IR and OR
are selected. OR will go HIGH and IR will go LOW.
All control settings such as OW, IW, BM, WSDR, RSDR, FSEL0 and FSEL1
are defined during the Master Reset cycle.
During a Master Reset the output register is initialized to all zeros. A Master
Reset is required after power up before a write operation can take place. MRS
is asynchronous.
See Figure 8, Master Reset Timing, for the relevant timing diagram.
PARTIAL RESET (PRS)
A Partial Reset is accomplished whenever the PRS input is taken to a LOW
state. As in the case of the Master Reset, the internal read and write pointers
are set to the first location of the RAM array. PAE goes LOW and PAF goes
HIGH.
Whichever mode was active at the time of Partial Reset will remain active
after Partial Reset. If IDT Standard Mode is active, then FF will go HIGH and
EF will go LOW. If the First Word Fall Through mode is active, then OR will go
HIGH and IR will go LOW.
Following Partial Reset, all values held in the offset registers remain un-
changed. The output register is initialized to all zeroes. PRS is asynchronous.
Partial Reset is useful for resetting the read and write pointers to zero without
affecting the values of the programmable flag offsets and the timing mode of the
FIFO.
See Figure 9, Partial Reset Timing, for the relevant timing diagram.
RETRANSMIT (RT)
The Retransmit (RT) input is used in conjunction with the MARK input.
Together they provide a means by which data previously read out of the FIFO
can be reread any number of times. When the retransmit operation is selected
(i.e. after data has been marked), a rising edge on RCLK while RT is LOW will
reset the read pointer back to the memory location set by the user via the
MARK input.
If IDT Standard mode has been selected, the EF flag will go LOW on the
rising edge of RCLK that retransmit was initiated (i.e. rising edge of RCLK
while RT is LOW). EF will go back to HIGH on the next rising edge of RCLK,
which signifies that retransmit setup is complete. The next read operation will
access data from the “marked” memory location.
Subsequent retransmit operations may be performed, each time the read
pointer returning to the “marked” location. See Figure 23, Retransmit from
Mark in Double Data Rate Mode (IDT Standard Mode) for the relevant timing
diagram.
If FWFT mode has been selected, the OR flag will go HIGH on the rising
edge of RCLK that retransmit was initiated. OR will return LOW on the next
rising edge of RCLK, which signifies that retransmit setup is complete. Under
FWFT mode, the contents in the marked memory location will be loaded onto
the output register on the next rising edge of RCLK. To access all subsequent
data, a read operation will be required.
Subsequent retransmit operations may be performed, each time the read
pointer returning to the “marked” location. See Figure 24, Retransmit from
Mark (FWFT Mode) for the relevant timing diagram.
MARK
The MARK input is used to select Retransmit mode of operation. On a rising
edge of RCLK while MARK is HIGH will mark the memory location of the data
currently present on the output register, in addition placing the device in
retransmit mode. Note, there must be a minimum of 1280 bits (or 160 bytes) of
data between the write pointer and mark location. That is, 40 bits x32 for the
x40 mode, 20 bits x64 for the x20 mode, and 10 bits x128 for the x10 mode.
Also, once the MARK is set, the write pointer will not increment past the
“marked” location until the MARK is deasserted. This prevents “overwriting” of
retransmit data.
The MARK input must remain HIGH during the whole period of retransmit
mode, a rising edge of RCLK while MARK is LOW will take the device out of
retransmit mode and into normal mode. Any number of MARK locations can
be set during FIFO operation, only the last marked location taking effect. Once
a mark location has been set the write pointer cannot be incremented past this
marked location. During retransmit mode write operations to the device may
continue without hindrance.
FIRST WORD FALL THROUGH (FWFT)
During Master Reset, the state of the FWFT input determines whether the
device will operate in IDT Standard mode or First Word Fall Through (FWFT)
mode.
If, at the time of Master Reset, FWFT is LOW, then IDT Standard mode will
be selected. This mode uses the Empty Flag (EF) to indicate whether or not
there are any words present in the FIFO memory. It also uses the Full Flag
function (FF) to indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space
for writing. In IDT Standard mode, every word read from the FIFO, including
the first, must be requested using the Read Enable (REN) and RCLK.
If, at the time of Master Reset, FWFT is HIGH, then FWFT mode will be
selected. This mode uses Output Ready (OR) to indicate whether or not there
is valid data at the outputs (Qn) to be read. It also uses Input Ready (IR) to
indicate whether or not the FIFO memory has any free space for writing. In the
FWFT mode, the first word written to an empty FIFO goes directly to Qn after
three RCLK rising edges, bringing REN LOW is not necessary. Subsequent
words must be accessed using the Read Enable (REN) and RCLK. Note that
FWFT mode can only be used when the device is configured to Single Data
Rate (SDR) mode.
WRITE CLOCK (WCLK)
A write cycle is initiated on the rising and/or falling edge of the WCLK input.
If the Write Single Data Rate (WSDR) pin is selected, data will be written only
on the rising edge of WCLK, provided that WEN and WCS are LOW. If the
WSDR is not selected, data will be written on both the rising and falling edge of
WCLK, provided that WEN and WCS are LOW. Data setup and hold times
must be met with respect to the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the WCLK. It is
permissible to stop the WCLK. Note that while WCLK is idle, the FF, IR, and
PAF flags will not be updated. The write and read clocks can either be
independent or coincident.
