42 / 48 page Depth Cascading Using Pipelining Using the pipelining approach, depth cascading is implemented by connecting the required number of LH540215/25s in series. Within the cascade, the Data Outputs of each device are connected to the Data Inputs of the next device. (See Figure 29a.) All devices in the cascade must be in the Enhanced Operating Mode; thus, their EMODE inputs must be grounded. Successive devices in the cascade are crosscoupled; they control each other, using a ‘handclasp’ scheme for crossconnecting their control inputs and their status out- puts. (See again Figure 29a.) The input side of the first device, and the output side of the last device, are not crosscoupled to other devices. Their control/status and clock pins are connected to the external system. For the FIFO devices within the cascade, transferring data from each device to the next device is governed by a clock. Preferably, the same clock should be used at every FIFO-to-FIFO data-transfer interface boundary within the cascade. This ‘Transfer Clock’ may be either the external Write Clock, or the external Read Clock. If both of these two clocks are periodic and free-running, the faster of the two is the obvious choice for the ‘Transfer Clock.’ Of course, in principle, the ‘Transfer Clock’ may even be some other, totally-different clock. The Empty Flag of each device is used to govern writing into the next device, and the Full Flag of each device is used to govern reading from the preceding device. Since the standard Empty Flag EF occurs one RCLK cycle too early to properly enable/disable the next device, the duplicate Empty Flag EF2 is used instead; EF2 is an exact copy of EF, except that it is delayed by one full RCLK cycle with respect to EF. Also, since the usual enable signals WEN and REN have the wrong polarity to function properly in this ‘hand- clasp’ mode, they are grounded for all devices within the cascade. The duplicate but inverted signals WEN2 and REN2 are used instead. EF2, WEN2, and REN2 are available only in En- hanced Operating Mode. They share the same pins which in IDT-Compatible Operating Mode are used respectively for RXO, WXI, and RXI. Hence, for pipe- lined operation, all devices in the cascade must be in the Enhanced Operating Mode; their EMODE control inputs must be grounded. When all of the foregoing conditions have been met in the interconnection of the pipelined array, then: At each device-to-device interface boundary within the array, a data word is transferred from the upstream device to the downstream device after every transfer-clock rising edge, as long as the upstream device is not empty and the downstream device is not full. There is one possible anomalous behavior, which can occur if at any time the device upstream from a FIFO-to- FIFO boundary (‘device n-1’) becomes totally empty, at the same time as the downstream device (‘device n’) becomes totally full. Under these relatively-infrequent conditions, one extra copy of the last word transferred out of device n-1, which remains still available at the outputs of that device, gets introduced into the data stream. The simple circuit illustrated in Figure 29b avoids introducing this extra word, and does not slow down the operation of the pipeline if it is implemented with logic which is suffi- ciently fast. Table 6 indicates the speed requirements for this circuit which correspond to the various speed grades of LH540215/25. If the infrequent introduction of such an extra word is not of concern for a given cascaded- LH540215/25 application, the circuit of Figure 29b may safely be omitted. Table 6. Required External-Logic Speeds for Pipelined Depth-Cascading Operation at Maximum Rate of Speed Grade SPEED GRADE (CYCLE TIME) 20 ns 25 ns 35 ns Ta ≤ 8 ns ≤ 10 ns ≤ 15 ns Tb ≤ 15 ns ≤ 19 ns ≤ 28 ns NOTES: 1. Ta is the setup time for the signal ‘FF (DEVICE n),’ including the delay of the assertive-LOW AND gate, with respect to the clock. 2. Tb is the clock-to-output time for the signal ‘WEN2 (DEVICE n),’ including the delay of the assertive-HIGH AND gate. Two PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices) suffice to implement the circuit of Figure 29b ten times, which allows for the cascading of LH540215/25s eleven deep. The choice of a GAL20RA10B-10 PLD to implement the flipflop and the two AND gates at its inputs, and a GAL22V10C-5 PLD to implement the simple AND gate which follows the flipflop, provides a sufficiently fast circuit to allow a cascade of LH540215/25-20 devices (the fast- est speed grade presently offered by Sharp) to operate with no speed degradation. Designers experienced in using PLDs may recognize other implementations. BOLD ITALIC = Enhanced Operating Mode LH540215/25 512 x 18/1024 x 18 Synchronous FIFO 42 |
