IDT101496RL
FEATURES:
• 16,384-words x 4-bit organization
• Self-Timed, with registers on inputs and latches on
outputs
• Balanced Read/Write cycle time: 10/12/15 ns
• Access time: 10/12/15 ns (max.)
• Fully compatible with ECL logic levels
• Through-hole DIP and surface-mount packages
DESCRIPTION:
The IDT10496RL, IDT100496RL and IDT101496RL are
65,536-bit high-speed BiCEMOS™ ECL static random ac-
cess memories organized as 16K x 4, with inputs and outputs
fully compatible with ECL levels. Clocked registers on inputs
and latches on outputs, and the self-timed write operation,
provide enhanced system performance over conventional
RAMs, providing easier design and improved system level
cycle times.
Inputs are captured by the leading edge of an externally
supplied differential clock. The small input valid window re-
quired means more margin for system skews. Logic-to-memory
propagation delay is included in device cycle time calculation,
allowing this device to deliver better system performance than
asynchronous SRAMs and glue logic.
Write timing is controlled internally based on the clock.
Write Enable has no special requirements. The device allows
balanced read and write cycle times, and reads and writes can
be inserted in any order.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The IDT10496RL, IDT100496RL and IDT101496RL Self-
Timed BiCMOS ECL static RAMs (STRAM) provide high
speed with low power dissipation typical of BiCMOS ECL.
On-chip logic additionally helps improve system performance.
The ECL-101K meets electrical specifications that combine
the ECL-100K temperature and voltage compensated output
levels with the high-speed of ECL-10K V
EE
compatibility (-
5.2V).
As can be seen in the Functional Block Diagram on the title
page, this device contains clocked input registers to sample
and hold addresses, input data, and control status. Inputs are
sampled on the rising edge of the clock (CLK) input (falling
edge of CLK). In the case of a write cycle, the memory cell is
written during the clock-high time, and write data conducted to
the outputs. Output data flows out the output latch and is held
into the next cycle.
READ TIMING
In a typical read cycle, the read address is captured by the
rising edge of clock, as at
below. Then, when clock goes
low, the read data for the read address clocked in at
is gated
through the output latch to the output pins. There is a short
delay from falling clock to output ready, called t
DR
(see Read
Cycle Timing). If the clock-high time (t
WH
) is shorter than the
inherent access-time of the cell, output is guaranteed valid
after the specified t
ACC
. But if t
WH
is longer than the cell ac-
cess-time, output data will be valid t
DR
after clock goes low.
Thus, the time it takes from clock-to-output for any given

COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE
address (the latency, or t
ACC
) is
t
ACC
= t
ACC
or (t
WH
+ t
DR
),
whichever is larger.
The output latch takes some time to change state for the
next cycle, but this time is very short. Therefore, data hold time
from clock low (t
DH
) is specified as zero minimum hold time.
DESELECT TIMING
Because the outputs are latched, they will continue to drive
the output pins until a disable state is clocked through the
device. The deselected state is achieved by de-asserting chip
select (CS high) at rising edge of clock. This case occurs at
below. Outputs then attain the disable state (low) t
ACC
later.
Status of other inputs do not effect the disabling of the device
when chip select is de-asserted with the proper relation to
clock.
WRITE TIMING
Write cycles are identical to read cycles, except that write
enable and write data need also be supplied, with the appro-
priate setup and hold timing. The device has on-chip timing
that handles all aspects of writing data into the addressed
RAM cell without the need for external write-pulse generation.
The timing logic uses the clock-high time as the write pulse,
and thus determines the minimum clock-high time, t
WH
.
In addition to writing to the RAM cell, the write data is fed
to the output register by a multiplexer, so that write data is
available on the output pins in the appropriate time slot (i.e.
after t
WH
+ t
DR
). This function is sometimes called “Transpar-
ent Write,” and is useful for write-through cache applications.
Thus the input data sampled at
is available on the output at
the end of the cycle.
There are no restrictions on the order of read cycles and
write cycles.
