Functional Description
Applications
The GS832418/36/72 is a 37,748,736-bit high performance 2-die
synchronous SRAM module with a 2-bit burst address counter.
Although of a type originally developed for Level 2 Cache
applications supporting high performance CPUs, the device now
finds application in synchronous SRAM applications, ranging
from DSP main store to networking chip set support.
Controls
Addresses, data I/Os, chip enable (E1), address burst control
inputs (ADSP, ADSC, ADV), and write control inputs (Bx, BW,
GW) are synchronous and are controlled by a positive-edge-
triggered clock input (CK). Output enable (G) and power down
control (ZZ) are asynchronous inputs. Burst cycles can be initiated
with either ADSP or ADSC inputs. In Burst mode, subsequent
burst addresses are generated internally and are controlled by
ADV. The burst address counter may be configured to count in
either linear or interleave order with the Linear Burst Order (LBO)
input. The Burst function need not be used. New addresses can be
loaded on every cycle with no degradation of chip performance.
Flow Through/Pipeline Reads
The function of the Data Output register can be controlled by the
user via the FT mode . Holding the FT mode pin low places the
RAM in Flow Through mode, causing output data to bypass the
Data Output Register. Holding FT high places the RAM in
Pipeline mode, activating the rising-edge-triggered Data Output
Register.
SCD and DCD Pipelined Reads
The GS832436(B/C) and the GS832472(C) are SCD (Single
Cycle Deselect) and DCD (Dual Cycle Deselect) pipelined
synchronous SRAMs. The GS832418(B/C) is a DCD-only
SRAM. DCD SRAMs pipeline disable commands to the same
degree as read commands. SCD SRAMs pipeline deselect
commands one stage less than read commands. SCD RAMs begin
turning off their outputs immediately after the deselect command
has been captured in the input registers. DCD RAMs hold the
deselect command for one full cycle and then begin turning off
their outputs just after the second rising edge of clock. The user
may configure the x36 or x72 versions of this SRAM for either
mode of operation using the SCD mode input.
Byte Write and Global Write
Byte write operation is performed by using Byte Write enable
(BW) input combined with one or more individual byte write
signals (Bx). In addition, Global Write (GW) is available for
writing all bytes at one time, regardless of the Byte Write control
inputs.
FLXDrive
The ZQ pin allows selection between high drive strength (ZQ low)
for multi-drop bus applications and normal drive strength (ZQ
floating or high) point-to-point applications. See the Output Driver
Characteristics chart for details.
Sleep Mode
Low power (Sleep mode) is attained through the assertion (High)
of the ZZ signal, or by stopping the clock (CK). Memory data is
retained during Sleep mode.
Core and Interface Voltages
The GS832418/36/72 operates on a 2.5 V or 3.3 V power supply.
All input are 3.3 V and 2.5 V compatible. Separate output power
(V
DDQ
) pins are used to decouple output noise from the internal
circuits and are 3.3 V and 2.5 V compatible.
