The CXK77B3640A (organized as 131,072 words by 36 bits) and the CXK77B1840A (organized as 262,144 words by 18 bits)
are high speed BiCMOS synchronous static RAMs with common I/O pins. These synchronous SRAMs integrate input registers,
high speed RAM, output registers/latches, and a one-deep write buffer onto a single monolithic IC. Four distinct read operation
protocols, Register - Register (R-R), Register - Latch (R-L), Register - Flow Thru (R-FT), and Dual Clock (DC), and one write
operation protocol, Late Write (LW), are supported, providing a flexible, high-performance user interface.
All address, data, and control input signals except G (Output Enable) and ZZ (Sleep Mode) are registered on the positive edge
of K clock. Read operation protocol is selectable through external mode pins M1 and M2.
Write operations are internally self-timed, eliminating the need for complex off-chip write pulse generation. In Register - Latch
and Register - Flow Thru modes, when SW (Global Write Enable) is driven active, the subsequent positive edge of K clock tri-
states the SRAM’s output drivers immediately, allowing Read-Write-Read operations to be initiated consecutively, with no dead
cycles between them.
The output drivers are series terminated, and the output impedance is programmable through an external impedance matching
resistor RQ. By connecting RQ between ZQ and V
SS
, the output impedance of all DQ pins can be precisely controlled.
Sleep (power down) mode control is provided through the asynchronous ZZ input. 270 MHz operation is obtained from a single
3.3V power supply. JTAG boundary scan interface is provided using a subset of IEEE standard 1149.1 protocol.
