Product details
Overview
CY7C464A-10JC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 32K × 9-bit asynchronous FIFO memory with 10 ns access time, 20 ns read/write cycle time, and 50 MHz independent read/write capability. It operates at 5V ±10%, provides Empty/Full/Half Full flags, supports retransmit and depth/width expansion, and is used in high-speed data buffering between mismatched bus domains in telecom line cards and packet-switching interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C464A-10JC datasheet, CY7C464A-10JC pinout, CY7C464A-10JC application, or CY7C464A-10JC equivalent, key selection criteria include asynchronous timing independence, cascading capability via XI/XO signals, TTL-compatible I/O, 32K-depth buffer capacity, and PLCC-28 package compatibility with legacy DIP footprints.
Technical Context
This FIFO implements dual-pointer architecture with separate read and write address counters, enabling true asynchronous operation where read and write clocks operate independently up to 50 MHz. Flag generation (EF, FF, HF) is synchronous to respective control edges-EF and FF respond to write strobe transitions, while HF toggles on write or read edges depending on mode.
The device supports three operational modes: standalone (single-device), width expansion (parallel data path extension using multiple devices), and depth expansion (chaining via XI/XO token-passing logic). Retransmit functionality requires R and W held HIGH during RT assertion, then uses R to sequentially output previously written data-critical for error-recovery protocols in serial link interfaces.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), 300-mil body, JEDEC MS-026AC compliant, lead-free capable (per datasheet Rev. *A).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D8 | Data Inputs | 9-bit parallel write data bus; latched on falling edge of W; tSD = 9 ns setup required |
| Q0–Q8 | Data Outputs | 9-bit parallel read data bus; three-state controlled by R; high-Z when R = HIGH or EF = LOW |
| W | Write Strobe | Active-low write enable; initiates write on falling edge; controls EF/FF/HF flag timing |
| R | Read Strobe | Active-low read enable; initiates read on falling edge; drives HF transition in standalone mode |
| MR | Master Reset | Active-high synchronous reset; forces EF = LOW, FF = HF = HIGH; requires tRPW/tWPW setup/hold |
| EF | Empty Flag | Open-drain output; LOW when no data available; used for read flow-control handshake |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FIFO memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT7207L10PF | Same 32K × 9 architecture, 10 ns access, but uses 3.3V core with 5V-tolerant I/O; lower ICC = 45 mA | Requires level translation in pure 5V systems; better suited for mixed-voltage designs with newer FPGAs | Select when migrating to lower-power 3.3V infrastructure or integrating with modern programmable logic |
| SN74V293-10PAG | TI variant with identical pinout and timing, but enhanced ESD (>4 kV HBM) and extended industrial temp range (–40°C to +105°C) | Better reliability in harsh environments; same functional behavior in all control and flag logic | Select for extended temperature operation or higher robustness requirements in field-deployed equipment |
Compared with CY7C464A-10JC, IDT7207L10PF offers lower power and voltage flexibility at the cost of 5V-only compatibility, while SN74V293-10PAG delivers identical functionality with improved ruggedness and thermal range-making it preferable for industrial deployments where long-term reliability outweighs legacy footprint fidelity.

FAQ
What is the function of the FL/RT pin on CY7C464A-10JC?
The FL/RT pin serves dual roles: in standalone or width-expansion mode, it functions as Retransmit (RT), enabling hardware-triggered replay of stored data upon LOW assertion; in depth-expansion mode, it operates as Flag Logic (FL) to coordinate flag propagation across chained FIFOs. Its behavior is mode-dependent and controlled by internal configuration logic-not user-programmable.
Can CY7C464A-10JC be operated at 3.3V?
No. The CY7C464A-10JC is specified only for 5V ±10% operation (4.5V to 5.5V). Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.2V, VIL = 0.8V) and output drive strength are optimized for TTL-level signaling at 5V. Operation below 4.5V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks unreliable flag generation and data retention.
How does the Half Full (HF) flag behave during depth expansion?
In depth expansion mode, the XO/HF pin outputs Expansion Out (XO) signals-not Half Full status. HF functionality is disabled in this configuration. The device uses XI/XO token passing to manage depth chaining, and flag logic is centralized in the master device; slave FIFOs do not assert HF, EF, or FF independently during expansion.
Is CY7C464A-10JC RoHS-compliant?
Yes. Per Cypress's Product Change Notification PCN-1007 (2010), CY7C464A-10JC was transitioned to lead-free (RoHS-compliant) PLCC packaging. The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is marked with "Pb-Free" suffix in updated date codes; legacy non-RoHS units are obsolete and no longer distributed.
