The GS8673ED18/36BK SigmaQuad-IIIe ECCRAMs are
synchronous devices. They employ dual, single-ended master
clocks, CK and CK. These clocks are single-ended clock
inputs, not differential inputs to a single differential clock input
buffer. CK and CK are used to control the address and control
input registers, as well as all output timing.
The KD and KD clocks are dual mesochronous (with respect to
CK and CK) input clocks that are used to control the data input
registers. Consequently, data input setup and hold windows
can be optimized independently of address and control input
setup and hold windows.
Each internal read and write operation in a SigmaQuad-IIIe B4
ECCRAM is four times wider than the device I/O bus. An
input data bus de-multiplexer is used to accumulate incoming
data before it is simultaneously written to the memory array.
An output data multiplexer is used to capture the data produced
from a single memory array read and then route it to the
appropriate output drivers as needed. Therefore, the address
field of a SigmaQuad-IIIe B4 ECCRAM is always two address
pins less than the advertised index depth (e.g. the 4M x 18 has
1M addressable index).
SigmaQuad-IIIe™ Family Overview
SigmaQuad-IIIe ECCRAMs are the Separate I/O half of the
SigmaQuad-IIIe/SigmaDDR-IIIe family of high performance
ECCRAMs. Although very similar to GSI's second generation
of networking SRAMs (the SigmaQuad-II/SigmaDDR-II
family), these third generation devices offer several new
features that help enable significantly higher performance.
On-Chip Error Correction Code
GSI's ECCRAMs implement an ECC algorithm that detects
and corrects all single-bit memory errors, including those
induced by Soft Error Rate (SER) events such as cosmic rays,
alpha particles, etc. The resulting SER of these devices is
anticipated to be <0.002 FITs/Mb — a 5-order-of-magnitude
improvement over comparable SRAMs with no On-Chip ECC,
which typically have an SER of 200 FITs/Mb or more. SER
quoted above is based on reading taken at sea level.
