I/O
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.

LD
Input-
Synchronous
Synchronous Load. This input is brought LOW when a bus cycle sequence is to be defined.
This definition includes address and Read/Write direction. All transactions operate on a burst of
2 data.
NWS0, NWS1
Input-
Synchronous
Nibble Write Select 0, 1
− active LOW (CY7C1516V18 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 will cause the corresponding nibble of data to be ignored and 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.

− BWS
0 controls D[8:0]
CY7C1518V18
− BWS
0 controls D[8:0] and BWS1 controls D[17:9].
CY7C1520V18
− BWS
0 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 will cause the corresponding byte of data to be ignored and 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 8M x 8 (2 arrays each of 4M x 8) for CY7C1516V18 and
8M x 9 (2 arrays each of 4M x9) for CY7C1527V18, a single 4M x 18 array for CY7C1518V18,
and a single array of 2M x 36 for CY7C1520V18.
CY7C1516V18 – Since the least significant bit of the address internally is a “0,” only 22 external
address inputs are needed to access the entire memory array.
CY7C1527V18 – Since the least significant bit of the address internally is a “0,” only 22 external
address inputs are needed to access the entire memory array.
CY7C1518V18 – A0 is the input to the burst counter. These are incremented in a linear fashion
internally. 22 address inputs are needed to access the entire memory array.
CY7C1520V18 – 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. All the address inputs
are ignored when the appropriate port is deselected.
R/W
Input-
Synchronous
Synchronous Read/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 set-up 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. C and C can be used together to deskew the flight times of various devices on
the board back to the controller. See application example for further details.
C
Input-
Clock
Negative Input Clock for Output Data. C is used in conjunction with C to clock out the Read
data from the device. C and C can be used together to deskew the flight times of various devices
on the board back to the controller. See application example 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.
K
Input-
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.
