GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K7A403600M is a 4,718,592-bit Synchronous Static Ran-
dom Access Memory designed for high performance second
level cache of Pentium and Power PC based System.
It is organized as 128K words of 36bits and integrates address
and control registers, a 2-bit burst address counter and added
some new functions for high performance cache RAM applica-
tions; 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 per-
formed 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 pro-
cessor(ADSP) or address status cache controller(ADSC)
inputs. Subsequent burst addresses are generated internally 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(linear
or interleaved).
ZZ pin controls Power Down State and reduces Stand-by cur-
rent regardless of CLK.
The K7A403600M is fabricated using SAMSUNG′s high perfor-
mance CMOS technology and is available in a 100pin TQFP
package. Multiple power and ground pins are utilized to mini-
mize ground bounce.

K7A403600M
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
128Kx36 Synchronous SRAM
The K7A403600M is a synchronous SRAM designed to support the burst address accessing sequence of the P6 and Power PC
based microprocessor. All inputs (with the exception of OE, LBO and ZZ) are sampled on rising clock edges. The start and duration
of the burst access is controlled by ADSC, ADSP and ADV and chip select pins.
The accesses are enabled with the chip select signals and output enabled signals. Wait states are inserted into the access with
ADV.
When ZZ is pulled high, the SRAM will enter a Power Down State. At this time, internal state of the SRAM is preserved. When ZZ
returns to low, the SRAM normally operates after 2cycles of wake up time. ZZ pin is pulled down internally.
Read cycles are initiated with ADSP(regardless of WEx and ADSC)using the new external address clocked into the on-chip address
register whenever ADSP is sampled low, the chip selects are sampled active, and the output buffer is enabled with OE. In read oper-
ation the data of cell array accessed by the current address, registered in the Data-out registers by the positive edge of CLK, are car-
ried to the Data-out buffer by the next positive edge of CLK. The data, registered in the Data-out buffer, are projected to the output
pins. ADV is ignored on the clock edge that samples ADSP asserted, but is sampled on the subsequent clock edges. The address
increases internally for the next access of the burst when WEx are sampled High and ADV is sampled low. And ADSP is blocked to
control signals by disabling CS
1
.
All byte write is done by GW(regaedless of BW and WEx.), and each byte write is performed by the combination of BW and WEx
when GW is high.
Write cycles are performed by disabling the output buffers with OE and asserting WEx. WEx are ignored on the clock edge that sam-
ples ADSP low, but are sampled on the subsequent clock edges. The output buffers are disabled when WEx are sampled
Low(regaedless of OE). Data is clocked into the data input register when WEx sampled Low. The address increases internally to the
next address of burst, if both WEx and ADV are sampled Low. Individual byte write cycles are performed by any one or more byte
write enable signals(WEa, WEb, WEc or WEd) sampled low. The WEa control DQa
0
~ DQa
7
and DQPa, WEb controls DQb
0
~ DQb
7
and DQPb, WEc controls DQc
0
~ DQc
7
and DQPc, and WEd control DQd
0
~ DQd
7
and DQPd. Read or write cycle may also be initi-
ated with ADSC, instead of ADSP. The differences between cycles initiated with ADSC and ADSP as are follows;
ADSP must be sampled high when ADSC is sampled low to initiate a cycle with ADSC.
WEx are sampled on the same clock edge that sampled ADSC low(and ADSP high).
Addresses are generated for the burst access as shown below, The starting point of the burst sequence is provided by the external
address. The burst address counter wraps around to its initial state upon completion. The burst sequence is determined by the state
of the LBO pin. When this pin is Low, linear burst sequence is selected. When this pin is High, Interleaved burst sequence is
selected.
