Pin Definitions

Pin Name IO Pin Description
DQ[x:0] Input Output-
Synchronous
Data Input Output Signals. Inputs are sampled on the rising edge of K and K clocks during valid write
operations. These pins drive out the requested data during a read operation. Valid data is driven out on
the rising edge of both the C and C clocks during read operations or K and K when in single clock mode.
When read access is deselected, Q[x:0] are automatically tri-stated.
CY7C1416AV18 − DQ[7:0]
CY7C1427AV18 − DQ[8:0]
CY7C1418AV18 − DQ[17:0]
CY7C1420AV18 − DQ[35:0]
LD Input-
Synchronous Synchronous Load. This input is brought LOW when a bus cycle sequence is defined. This definition
includes address and read/write direction. All transactions operate on a burst of 2 data. LD must meet
the setup and hold times around edge of K.
NWS0,
NWS1
Input-
Synchronous Nibble Write Select 0, 1 − Active LOW (CY7C1416AV18 only). Sampled on the rising edge of the K
and K clocks during write operations. Used to select which nibble is written into the device during the
current portion of the write operations. Nibbles not written remain unaltered.
NWS0 controls D[3:0] and NWS1 controls D[7:4].
All the Nibble Write Selects are sampled on the same edge as the data. Deselecting a Nibble Write Select
ignores the corresponding nibble of data and it is not written into the device.
BWS0,
BWS1,
BWS2,
BWS3
Input-
Synchronous Byte Write Select 0, 1, 2, and 3 − Active LOW. Sampled on the rising edge of the K and K clocks during
write operations. Used to select which byte is written into the device during the current portion of the write
operations. Bytes not written remain unaltered.
CY7C1427AV18 − BWS0 controls D[8:0]
CY7C1418AV18 − BWS0 controls D[8:0] and BWS1 controls D[17:9].
CY7C1420AV18 − BWS0 controls D[8:0], BWS1 controls D[17:9], BWS2 controls D[26:18], and BWS3 controls
D[35:27].
All the Byte Write Selects are sampled on the same edge as the data. Deselecting a Byte Write Select
ignores the corresponding byte of data and it is not written into the device.
A, A0 Input-
Synchronous Address Inputs. These address inputs are multiplexed for both read and write operations. Internally, the
device is organized as 4M x 8 (2 arrays each of 2M x 8) for CY7C1416AV18, 4Mx 9 (2 arrays each of
2M x 9) for CY7C1427AV18, 2Mx 18 (2 arrays each of 1M x 18) for CY7C1418AV18, and 1M x 36 (2
arrays each of 512K x 36) for CY7C1420AV18.
CY7C1416AV18 – Since the least significant bit of the address internally is a “0,” only 21 external address
inputs are needed to access the entire memory array.
CY7C1427AV18 – Since the least significant bit of the address internally is a “0,” only 21 external address
inputs are needed to access the entire memory array.
CY7C1418AV18 – A0 is the input to the burst counter. These are incremented in a linear fashion internally.
21 address inputs are needed to access the entire memory array.
CY7C1420AV18 – A0 is the input to the burst counter. These are incremented in a linear fashion internally.
20 address inputs are needed to access the entire memory array. All the address inputs are ignored when
the appropriate port is deselected.
R/W Input-
Synchronous Synchronous Read or Write Input. When LD is LOW, this input designates the access type (read when
R/W is HIGH, write when R/W is LOW) for loaded address. R/W must meet the setup and hold times
around edge of K.
C Input Clock Positive Input Clock for Output Data. C is used in conjunction with C to clock out the read data from
the device. Use the C and C together to deskew the flight times of various devices on the board back to
the controller. See Application Example on page 9 for further details.
CInput Clock Negative Input Clock for Output Data. C is used in conjunction with C to clock out the read data from
the device. Use the C and C together to deskew the flight times of various devices on the board back to
the controller. See Application Example on page 9 for further details.
K Input Clock Positive Input Clock Input. The rising edge of K is used to capture synchronous inputs to the device
and to drive out data through Q[x:0] when in single clock mode. All accesses are initiated on the rising
edge of K.
KInput Clock Negative Input Clock Input. K is used to capture synchronous data being presented to the device and
to drive out data through Q[x:0] when in single clock mode.
