NOTES:
1. tSKEW2 is the minimum time between a rising WCLK edge and a
rising RCLK edge for EF to change predictably during the current
clock cycle. If the time between the rising edge of WCLK and the
rising edge of RCLK is less than tSKEW2, then it is not guaranteed
that EF will change state until the next following RCLK edge.
2. tFRL (First-Read Latency) is the minimum time between a rising WCLK
edge and a rising RCLK edge to assure a correct readout of the first data
word D0 in response to the next RCLK edge. Thus, tFRL = tCLK + tSKEW2.
If tFRL is not met, D0 may be available either at tCLK + tSKEW2, or after
one more clock cycle delay at 2 tCLK + tSKEW2. The First-Read Latency
timing restrictions apply only when the FIFO has been empty (EF = LOW).
3. EF may be used to determine when the first data word D0 may be read.
D0 always is available on the next cycle after EF has gone HIGH.
