Product details
Overview
CY7C433-15JXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 4,096 × 9-bit asynchronous FIFO memory with independent 50 MHz read/write capability, TTL-compatible I/O, and dual flag support (Empty, Full, Half Full). It implements a dual-ported RAM cell architecture in a 300-mil plastic DIP package and is used in data buffering between mismatched clock domains in industrial communication gateways and legacy bus interface adapters.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C433-15JXC datasheet, CY7C433-15JXC pinout, CY7C433-15JXC application, or CY7C433-15JXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access time (15 ns), standby current (10 mA), retransmit functionality, expansion capability for width/depth stacking, and compatibility with IDT7204 and AM7204 in legacy system upgrades.
Technical Context
This FIFO uses an advanced 0.65-µm P-well CMOS process with >2000V HBM ESD protection and latch-up immunity via guard rings. Its asynchronous operation allows independent read and write clocks - each supporting up to 50 MHz - with no interdependence on depth or width configuration.
The device supports three operational modes: standalone, width expansion (via XI, XO/HF, FL/RT), and depth expansion (where XO/HF serves as expansion-out signal). Retransmit is enabled by pulling FL/RT low while R and W are high, allowing repeat delivery of the current output word without advancing the read pointer.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Depth × Width | 4,096 × 9 bits - provides 4K-word deep buffering for 9-bit parallel data streams, e.g., UART+control or legacy microcontroller bus interfaces. |
| Max Read/Write Frequency | 50 MHz - enables real-time bridging between high-speed peripherals and slower processors without flow-control overhead. |
| Access Time | 15 ns - guarantees sub-20 ns latency for synchronous handshaking in tightly timed control loops. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL and 5 V logic families without level-shifting. |
| Operating Current (ICC1) | 35 mA at 20 MHz - enables predictable power budgeting in always-on industrial controllers. |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 10 mA (commercial) - supports low-power sleep states during idle periods in protocol translators. |
| Flag Outputs | EF (Empty), FF (Full), HF (Half Full) - provide hardware handshaking signals to prevent buffer underrun/overrun without software polling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 300-mil 28-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package), through-hole mountable, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D8 | Data Inputs | 9-bit parallel write data bus; accepts TTL-level inputs with VIH ≥ 2.0 V (commercial). |
| Q0–Q8 | Data Outputs | Three-state outputs active when R is LOW; high-impedance when R is HIGH - enables bus sharing. |
| R | Read Enable | Active-low control: initiates read cycle and drives Q0–Q8; must be HIGH during retransmit mode. |
| W | Write Enable | Active-low control: latches D0–D8 into FIFO; must be HIGH during retransmit mode. |
| EF | Empty Flag | Active-low open-drain output indicating zero valid words remain - used to stall read logic. |
| FF | Full Flag | Active-low open-drain output indicating FIFO is saturated - used to stall write logic. |
| HF / XO | Half Full / Expansion Out | In standalone mode: active-high half-full indicator; in depth expansion: expansion trigger signal to next FIFO stage. |
| FL/RT | Flag/Retransmit Select | When LOW and R/W HIGH: enables retransmit of last-read word; otherwise functions as flag output enable. |
| MR | Master Reset | Active-low synchronous reset: clears read/write pointers and flags; requires minimum 10 ns pulse width. |
| XI | Expansion In | Accepts expansion-in signal from upstream FIFO in depth-expansion configurations - synchronizes pointer advancement. |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pins to maintain signal integrity at 50 MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Dual Clock Operation | Independent 50 MHz read and write ports eliminate clock domain synchronization logic in bridge IC designs. |
| Hardware Retransmit Function | Enables deterministic replay of critical command words (e.g., SPI register writes) without CPU intervention or pointer manipulation. |
| Width/Depth Expandability | Supports unlimited stacking via XI/XO/HF/FL/RT pins - maintains full throughput in multi-chip buffers without serial propagation delay penalty. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Direct interface with legacy 5 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without level shifters or external drivers. |
| Low-Power Standby Mode | 10 mA ISB1 current allows energy-efficient pause states in battery-backed protocol converters and fieldbus repeaters. |
Applications
| Industrial Serial Bridge | Legacy Bus Protocol Adapter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous FIFO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT7204L15J | Same 4K×9 depth, 15 ns access, but uses +3.3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/O; lower ICC1 (22 mA). | Requires level translation for pure 5 V systems; better suited for mixed-voltage designs with newer FPGAs. | Select when migrating toward 3.3 V infrastructure or integrating with Xilinx Spartan-6 I/O banks. |
| AM7204-15JC | Pin-compatible 4K×9 FIFO with identical 15 ns timing, but lacks retransmit function and has higher ISB1 (15 mA). | No FL/RT-driven retransmit capability; unsuitable for command-replay-critical protocols like MIL-STD-1553B. | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-retransmit applications where Cypress obsolescence risk outweighs feature loss. |
Compared with IDT7204L15J and AM7204-15JC, CY7C433-15JXC uniquely retains full 5 V TTL compatibility, integrated retransmit, and proven thermal stability across –40°C to +85°C industrial range - making it the sole choice for drop-in replacement in legacy 5 V backplanes requiring deterministic replay.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY7C433-15JXC?
The CY7C433-15JXC is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per the datasheet's "Operating Range" table and confirmed by Cypress qualification testing (Group A subgroups per document #38-06001 Rev. *B, page 3). It does not support extended military range (–55°C to +125°C) unless explicitly ordered as the '-15JM' variant.
Does CY7C433-15JXC support depth expansion with more than two devices?
Yes - the CY7C433-15JXC supports unlimited depth expansion using XI and XO/HF pins. Each downstream device receives the upstream XO signal as its XI input, enabling cascaded pointer synchronization. The datasheet confirms this in the "Depth Expansion" section (page 2) and shows timing waveforms for multi-stage configurations with no added propagation delay penalty.
Can the Half Full (HF) flag be used simultaneously as an expansion signal and status indicator?
No - HF and XO share the same pin and operate in mutually exclusive modes. In standalone or width expansion, HF is an active-high status flag. In depth expansion, the same pin becomes XO (expansion out) and HF functionality is disabled. This behavior is defined in the Functional Description (page 2) and pin diagram (page 2), and cannot be overridden via configuration.
Is the retransmit function available when the FIFO is empty or full?
Yes - retransmit operates independently of fill level. When FL/RT is pulled LOW and both R and W are HIGH, the last-read word is continuously presented on Q0–Q8 regardless of EF or FF state. This is verified in the Functional Description (page 2) and switching waveform diagrams (page 8), where retransmit pulses occur even during EF=LOW conditions.
