Obsolete — no direct replacement on record
The Cypress CY7C4211-15AXC is listed as obsolete (product status: Obsolete).
What this synchronous FIFO does — and where it was used
The CY7C4211-15AXC is a synchronous FIFO (First-In, First-Out) memory from Cypress's CY7C series. The 9-bit width accommodates an eighth data bit plus a parity/control bit, common in telecom or datacom packet buffers. It supports depth and width expansion (cascade for deeper or wider queues) and has programmable flag outputs for almost-full/almost-empty thresholds — useful for rate-matching between a fast source and a slower sink, or for assembling data packets before a burst transfer.
Package and footprint — 32-TQFP (7x7 mm)
Surface-mount only. No official pin-compatible second source or replacement is documented, so the PCB footprint is tied to this specific Cypress device. If you are retrofitting an existing board that uses this part, verify the flag and control pin assignments against your schematic — there is no guaranteed cross.
