2 MEG x 8
FPM DRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 2 Meg x 8 DRAM is a randomly accessed, solid-
state memory containing 16,777,216 bits organized in a
x8 configuration. Each byte is uniquely addressed
through the 21 address bits during READ or WRITE
cycles. The address is entered first by RAS# latching 11
bits (A0-A10) and then CAS# latching 10 bits (A0-A9).
The CAS# control also determines whether the cycle will
be a refresh cycle (RAS#-ONLY) or an active cycle (READ,
WRITE or READ WRITE) once RAS# goes LOW.
READ or WRITE cycles are selected by WE#. A logic
HIGH on WE# dictates READ mode while a logic LOW on
WE# dictates WRITE mode. During a WRITE cycle, data-in
(D) is latched by the falling edge of WE# or CAS#, which-
ever occurs last. Taking WE# LOW will initiate a WRITE
cycle, selecting DQ1 through DQ8. If WE# goes LOW prior
to CAS# going LOW, the output pin(s) remain open
(High- Z) until the next CAS# cycle. If WE# goes LOW after
CAS# goes LOW and data reaches the output pins, data-out
(Q) is activated and retains the selected cell data as long as
CAS# and OE# remain LOW (regardless of WE# or RAS#).
This late WE# pulse results in a READ WRITE cycle.
The eight data inputs and eight data outputs are routed
through eight pins using common I/O, and pin direction is
controlled by OE# and WE#.
or HIDDEN) so that all 2,048 combinations of RAS# ad-
dresses (A0 -A10) are executed at least every 32ms, regard-
less of sequence. The CBR REFRESH cycle will also invoke
the refresh counter and controller for row-address control.
REFRESH
Preserve correct memory cell data by maintaining power
and executing any RAS# cycle (READ, WRITE) or RAS#
refresh cycle (RAS#-ONLY, CBR, or HIDDEN) so that all
2,048 combinations of RAS# addresses are executed within
t
REF (MAX), regardless of sequence. The CBR and SELF
REFRESH cycles will invoke the internal refresh counter for
automatic RAS# addressing.
An optional SELF REFRESH mode is also available on the
S version. The “S” option allows the user the choice of a fully
static low-power data retention mode, or a dynamic refresh
mode at the extended refresh period of 128ms. The optional
SELF REFRESH feature is initiated by performing a CBR
REFRESH cycle and holding RAS# LOW for the specified
t
RASS. Additionally, the “S” option allows for an extended
refresh period of 128ms, or 62.5µs per row if using distrib-
uted CBR REFRESH. This refresh rate can be applied during
normal operation, as well as during a standby or BATTERY
BACKUP mode.
The SELF REFRESH mode is terminated by driving
RAS# HIGH for a minimum time of
t
RPS. This delay allows
for the completion of any internal refresh cycles that may
be in process at the time of the RAS# LOW-to-HIGH tran-
sition. If the DRAM controller uses a distributed refresh
sequence, a burst refresh is not required upon exiting SELF
REFRESH. However, if the DRAM controller utilizes RAS#-
ONLY or burst refresh sequence, all 2,048 rows must be
refreshed within the average internal refresh rate prior to
the resumption of normal operation.
FAST PAGE MODE
FAST PAGE MODE operations allow faster data opera-
tions (READ, WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE) within a
row-address-defined (A0 -A10) page boundary. The FAST
PAGE MODE cycle is always initiated with a row address
strobed-in by RAS# followed by a column address strobed-
in by CAS#. CAS# may be toggled-in by holding RAS#
LOW and strobing-in different column addresses, thus
executing faster memory cycles. Returning RAS# HIGH
terminates the FAST PAGE MODE operation.
Returning RAS# and CAS# HIGH terminates a memory
cycle and decreases chip current to a reduced standby level.
The chip is also preconditioned for the next cycle during the
RAS# HIGH time. Memory cell data is retained in its correct
state by maintaining power and executing any RAS# cycle
(READ, WRITE) or RAS# refresh cycle (RAS#-ONLY, CBR,
STANDBY
Returning RAS# and CAS# HIGH terminates a memory
cycle and decreases chip current to a reduced standby level.
The chip is preconditioned for the next cycle during the
RAS# HIGH time.
