K7A403609A
128Kx36 & 256Kx18-Bit Synchronous Pipelined Burst SRAM
The K7A403609A and K7A401809A are 4,718,592-bit Syn-
chronous Static Random Access Memory designed for high
performance second level cache of Pentium and Power PC
based System.
It is organized as 128K(256K) words of 36(18) bits and inte-
grates address and control registers, a 2-bit burst address
counter and added some new functions for high perfor-
mance cache RAM applications; GW, BW, LBO, ZZ. Write
cycles are internally self-timed and synchronous.
Full bus-width write is done by GW, and each byte write is
performed by the combination of WEx and BW when GW is
high. And with CS
1
high, ADSP is blocked to control signals.
Burst cycle can be initiated with either the address status
processor(ADSP) or address status cache controller(ADSC)
inputs. Subsequent burst addresses are generated inter-
nally in the system
′
s burst sequence and are controlled by
the burst address advance(ADV) input.
LBO pin is DC operated and determines burst sequence(lin-
ear or interleaved).
ZZ pin controls Power Down State and reduces Stand-by
current regardless of CLK.
The K7A403609A and K7A401809A are fabricated using
SAMSUNG
′
s high performance CMOS technology and is
available in a 100pin TQFP package. Multiple power and
ground pins are utilized to minimize ground bounce.
