Functional Details
Clocking
Deassertion of the Clock Enable (CKE) input blocks the Clock input from reaching the RAM's internal circuits. It may be used to
suspend RAM operations. Failure to observe Clock Enable set-up or hold requirements will result in erratic operation.
Pipeline Mode Read and Write Operations
All inputs (with the exception of Output Enable, Linear Burst Order and Sleep) are synchronized to rising clock edges. Single cycle
read and write operations must be initiated with the Advance/Load pin (ADV) held low, in order to load the new address. Device
activation is accomplished by asserting all three of the Chip Enable inputs (E
1
, E
2,
and E
3
). Deassertion of any one of the Enable
inputs will deactivate the device.
Read operation is initiated when the following conditions are satisfied at the rising edge of clock: CKE is asserted low, all three
chip enables (E
1
, E
2,
and E
3
) are active, the write enable input signals W is deasserted high, and ADV is asserted low. The address
presented to the address inputs is latched into the address register and presented to the memory core and control logic. The control
logic determines that a read access is in progress and allows the requested data to propagate to the input of the output register. At
the next rising edge of clock the read data is allowed to propagate through the output register and onto the output pins.
