The CY7C4235-15AC is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation. This IC belongs to the CY7C4235 family of asynchronous FIFO (First-In-First-Out) memory components. It is designed to provide reliable data buffering and data rate conversion between various subsystems of a digital system.
The key features of the CY7C4235-15AC include:
1. FIFO Memory: This IC provides a FIFO buffer memory of 2048 x 9 bits, enabling temporary storage and smooth transfer of data between different sections of a digital system.
2. Asynchronous Operation: The CY7C4235-15AC supports asynchronous operation, which means that it can handle different clock frequencies and tolerate variations in input and output data rates.
3. Programmable Flags: It offers four user-programmable flags that can be set to indicate specific conditions within the FIFO, such as empty, full, programmable almost empty, and almost full status. These flags can be monitored to control data flow between subsystems.
4. Parallel and Serial Interface: Data transfers with this IC can be achieved using both parallel and serial interfaces. It supports an 8-bit parallel interface for high-speed data transfers and a 2-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for configuration and control
