PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Philips Semiconductors Intelligent Dynamic RAM Controller is a
1 MBit, single-port version of the 74F1764 Dual Port Dynamic RAM
Controller. It contains automatic signal timing, address multiplexing
and refresh control required for interfacing with dynamic RAMs.
Additional features have been added to this device to take
advantage of technological advances in Dynamic RAMs. A
Page-Mode access pin allows the user to assert RAS for the entire
access cycle rather than the pre-defined four-clock-cycle pulse width
used for normal random access cycles. In addition, the user has the
ability to select the RAS precharge time and Row-Address Hold time
to fit the particular DRAMs being used. DTACK has been modified
from previous family parts to become a negative true, tri-stated
output. The options for latched or unlatched address are contained
on a single device by the addition of an Address Latch Enable (ALE)
input. Finally, a burst refresh monitor has been added to ensure
complete refreshing after length page-mode access cycles. With a
maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz, the F1763 is capable of
controlling DRAM arrays with access times down to 40 nsec.
