Flag Operation
The CY7C48X1 devices provide four flag pins to indicate the
condition of the FIFO contents. Empty, Full, (PAEA,PAEB), and
(PAFA,PAFB) are synchronous.
Full Flag
The Full Flag (FFA,FFB) will go LOW when the device is full. Write
operations are inhibited whenever (FFA,FFB) is LOW regardless of
the state of (WENA1,WENB1) and (WENA2/LDA,WENB2/LDB).
(FFA,FFB) is synchronized to (WCLKA,WCLKB), i.e., it is exclusively
updated by each rising edge of (WCLKA,WCLKB).
Empty Flag
The Empty Flag (EFA,EFB) will go LOW when the device is empty.
Read operations are inhibited whenever (EFA,EFB) is LOW, regard-
less of the state of (RENA1,RENB1) and (RENA2,RENB2.
(EFA,EFB) is synchronized to (RCLKA,RCLKB), i.e., it is exclusively
Full Flag.
