Additional Details

The CY7C281A-25JC is a 512 x 9 synchronous FIFO with a 25 ns cycle time. The input and output operations are synchronized to a clock signal, simplifying system timing. The Input Ready (IR) and Output Valid (OV) flags indicate when the FIFO is ready to accept data and when valid data is available at the output, respectively. The full, empty, and half-full flags assist in monitoring the FIFO's status. The retransmit capability allows the last data word read from the FIFO to be resent, aiding in error recovery. Consider lifetime buy options or direct replacements if designing new systems due to its end-of-life status.
