Functional Description
Applications
The GS88118/32/36B(T/D)-xxxV is a 9,437,184-bit high 
performance synchronous SRAM 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, E2), 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 pin (Pin 14). 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 Pipelined Reads
The GS88118/32/36B(T/D)-xxxV is a SCD (Single Cycle 
Deselect) pipelined synchronous SRAM. DCD (Dual Cycle 
Deselect) versions are also available. 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. 
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. 
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 GS88118/32/36B(T/D)-xxxV operates on a 1.8 V or 2.5 V 
power supply. All input are 1.8 V and 2.5 V compatible. 
Separate output power (V
DDQ
) pins are used to decouple 
output noise from the internal circuits and are 1.8 V and 2.5 V 
compatible.
