Sync FIFO for 5 V datapath buffering
The Cypress CY7C4231-15AXC is a synchronous FIFO with a 2K x 9 memory array, clocked at 66.7 MHz and delivering a 10 ns access time. It operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply on a 32-TQFP (7x7) surface-mount package, rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range. Depth and width expansion are supported; programmable flags and a uni-directional bus round out the control interface.
66.7 MHz synchronous clock — timing margin for the datapath
The 66.7 MHz data rate and 10 ns access time define the throughput and read latency. The 2K x 9 depth (18 Kbits) suits moderate packet buffering.
