This application note describes the interfacing issues between the Cypress CY7B923/CY7B933 (HOTLink™) transmitter/ receiver and Cypress clocked FIFOs. The HOTLink-FIFO interface is capable of performing parallel bus transactions at rates of up to 33 Mbytes/s and serial transfers at rates of up to 330 Mbits/s. The FIFO serves as an asynchronous storage buffer between the data bus and the serial link.
