Product details
Overview
CY7C425-10JXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1K × 9-bit asynchronous FIFO memory with dual-port RAM architecture, 50 MHz independent read/write capability, TTL-compatible I/O, and integrated Empty/Full/Half-Flag logic - used in high-speed data buffering between mismatched clock domains in telecom line cards and industrial PLC backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C425-10JXC datasheet, CY7C425-10JXC pinout, CY7C425-10JXC application, or CY7C425-10JXC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 ns access time, 35 mA ICC1 at 20 MHz, standalone retransmit support, and PLCC-28 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
This FIFO implements independent asynchronous read and write pointers with dedicated control logic for EF (Empty Flag), FF (Full Flag), and XO/HF (Expansion Out / Half-Flag) outputs. Its dual-ported RAM cell enables concurrent read/write without arbitration overhead.
The device supports width expansion via three dedicated pins (XI, XO/HF, FL/RT), depth expansion using cascaded MR (Master Reset) and EF/FF flag steering, and retransmit functionality triggered by a LOW on FL/RT while R and W are HIGH - enabling deterministic packet replay in serial link interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Depth × Width | 1,024 × 9 bits - provides 9-bit parallel data buffering with sufficient depth for burst-mode handshaking in UART-to-PCI bridge interfaces. |
| Max Read/Write Frequency | 50 MHz - enables 50 MB/s sustained throughput per port, supporting real-time video frame buffering in SDI transport systems. |
| Access Time (tA) | 10 ns - guarantees sub-20 ns latency from address assertion to valid output, critical for deterministic timing in motor control feedback loops. |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5V TTL logic families and mixed-voltage backplane designs without level-shifting. |
| ICC1 Operating Current | 35 mA at 20 MHz - low static power enables use in thermally constrained industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
| Flag Outputs | EF, FF, XO/HF - provide hardware flow control signals directly usable by FPGA state machines or microcontroller GPIOs without polling. |
| Retransmit Support | FL/RT input with R/W HIGH requirement - allows precise replay of last-read data word for error recovery in RS-485 multi-drop networks. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), 11.43 mm × 11.43 mm, JEDEC MS-026AC, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D8 | Data Inputs | 9-bit parallel write data bus; latched on falling edge of W signal; TTL-compatible input thresholds. |
| Q0–Q8 | Data Outputs | 9-bit parallel read data bus; tri-stated when R is HIGH; VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 8 mA sink. |
| W | Write Enable | Active-LOW write strobe; initiates write cycle; must meet tPW ≥ 10 ns pulse width. |
| R | Read Enable | Active-LOW read strobe; enables output drivers; Qx enter high-Z when R = HIGH. |
| MR | Master Reset | Asynchronous reset for both read/write pointers and flags; requires tPMR ≥ 10 ns pulse width. |
| EF | Empty Flag | Open-drain output; LOW when no data available; used to gate write operations in producer-consumer systems. |
| FF | Full Flag | Open-drain output; LOW when memory full; prevents overflow in continuous streaming applications. |
| XO/HF | Expansion Out / Half-Flag | In standalone mode: HIGH when ≥512 words stored; in depth expansion: carries cascade enable signal to next FIFO. |
| FL/RT | Flag/Retransmit Control | Configurable input: selects EF/FF mode or enables retransmit when pulled LOW with R/W HIGH. |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5V supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pins 13 (VCC) and 14 (GND) per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-asynchronous operation | Independent 50 MHz read and write clocks eliminate synchronization logic and reduce FPGA resource usage in bridging applications. |
| Hardware flow control flags | EF, FF, and XO/HF outputs drive standard TTL loads directly, enabling zero-software-latency handshaking with microcontrollers. |
| Width/depth expandability | Three dedicated expansion pins (XI, XO/HF, FL/RT) allow building 18-bit or 2K×9 buffers without external glue logic or timing penalties. |
| Retransmit function | Enables deterministic replay of last-read data word for protocol-level error recovery in RS-232/422 serial interfaces. |
| Low-power standby modes | ISB1 = 10 mA (commercial) and ISB2 = 5 mA (power-down) extend operational life in battery-backed industrial controllers. |
Applications
| Telecom Line Card Buffering | Industrial PLC Backplane Interface |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Buffering variable-length HDLC frames between T1/E1 framer ASIC and DSP processor across asynchronous clock domains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous FIFO decouples 1.544 MHz T1 framing clock from 100 MHz DSP bus clock, absorbing jitter and preventing frame loss. Use Value: 1K×9 depth accommodates worst-case HDLC frame burst (up to 1024 bytes), while 10 ns tA ensures timely frame delivery to DSP DMA engine. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing Modbus RTU master controller (500 kbps UART) with fieldbus slave modules over isolated RS-485 trunk. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Data staging buffer isolates UART TX/RX timing from fieldbus response latency, enabling deterministic polling cycles. Use Value: EF/FF flags directly control UART TXEN/RXEN GPIOs in ARM Cortex-M4 firmware, eliminating software polling overhead and reducing interrupt load by 70%. |
| Video Transport Bridge | Motor Control Feedback Loop |
|
Use Scenario: Converting parallel BT.656 video stream (27 MHz) to serialized LVDS for long-cable transmission in broadcast equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizing pixel clock domain shift between encoder and serializer ICs using independent read/write pointer management. Use Value: 50 MHz max frequency supports 27 MHz video clock with margin; 9-bit width matches YUV 4:2:2 chroma sampling bus width. |
Use Scenario: Capturing high-resolution position encoder pulses (1 MHz quadrature) and feeding to motion controller FPGA at 50 MHz system clock. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Elastic buffer absorbs encoder pulse bursts during acceleration transients, preventing counter overflow in PID loop. Use Value: Retransmit function allows FPGA to re-read last valid position sample after missed interrupt, improving closed-loop stability under heavy CPU load. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous FIFO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT7202L10PA | 1K × 9, 10 ns access, 5V, 28-pin PDIP - identical timing but lacks retransmit function and XO/HF dual-mode pin. | No hardware retransmit support; requires external logic or firmware to replay data, increasing BOM count and interrupt latency. | Select when retransmit is unused and through-hole assembly is required for legacy manufacturing lines. |
| ON Semiconductor MC10E141FN | ECL-based 512 × 9 FIFO, 10 ns access, –4.5 V supply - higher speed but incompatible voltage domain and lower density. | Requires level translation for 5V systems; unsuitable for cost-sensitive industrial designs due to ECL power and termination complexity. | Select only in high-speed RF test equipment where ECL timing margins and sub-ns jitter are mandatory. |
Compared with IDT7202L10PA and MC10E141FN, CY7C425-10JXC uniquely combines 1K depth, 50 MHz operation, retransmit capability, and 5V TTL compatibility in a single PLCC package - making it optimal for upgrade paths in existing 5V backplane designs requiring deterministic data replay.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY7C425-10JXC?
The CY7C425-10JXC is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, with supply voltage maintained at 5.0 V ±10%. This range is validated per the datasheet's "Operating Range" table and supports deployment in uncooled factory-floor PLC cabinets and outdoor telecom enclosures.
Does CY7C425-10JXC support depth expansion with other CY7C4xx devices?
Yes - depth expansion is supported using MR, EF, and FF signals routed in parallel between devices. The CY7C425-10JXC's XO/HF pin serves as expansion out (XO) in depth mode, driving the XI pin of the next FIFO in chain, preserving full 50 MHz throughput without added propagation delay.
Can the FL/RT pin be used simultaneously for flag output and retransmit control?
No - FL/RT is a multiplexed input-only pin. In standalone configuration, it selects between EF/FF flag mode (default) and retransmit mode (activated by pulling LOW while R and W are HIGH). It does not function as an output under any condition.
Is CY7C425-10JXC pin-compatible with CY7C425-15JXC?
Yes - both share identical PLCC-28 pinout, signal assignments, and DC electrical characteristics. The suffix "-10" vs "-15" denotes access time grade (10 ns vs 15 ns), not package or connectivity; they are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in PCB layouts.
