Functional Description
Because
ΣRAMs
are synchronous devices, address, data
inputs, and read/write control inputs are captured on the rising
edge of the input clock. Write cycles are internally self-timed
and initiated by the rising edge of the clock input. This feature
eliminates complex off-chip write pulse generation required by
asynchronous SRAMs and simplifies input signal timing.
This
ΣRAM
reads in Pipeline mode. In Pipeline mode, single
data rate
ΣRAMs
incorporate a rising-edge-triggered output
register. For read cycles, a pipelined SRAM’s output data is
staged at the input of an edge-triggered output register during
the access cycle and then released to the output drivers at the
next rising edge of clock.
GS8170LW18/36/72C
ΣRAMs
are implemented with GSI's
high performance CMOS technology and are packaged in a
209-bump BGA.
SigmaRAM Family Overview
GS8170LW18/36/72 SigmaRAMs (ΣRAM
™)
are built in
compliance with the
ΣRAM
pinout standard for synchronous
SRAMs. They are 18,874,368-bit (18Mb) SRAMs. These are
the first in a family of wide, very low voltage CMOS I/O
SRAMs designed to operate at the speeds needed to implement
economical high performance networking systems.
GSI's
ΣRAMs
are offered in a number of configurations that
emulate other synchronous SRAMs, such as Burst RAMs,
NBT, Late Write, or Double Data Rate (DDR) SRAMs. The
logical differences between the protocols employed by these
RAMs hinge mainly on various combinations of address
bursting, output data registering and write cueing. The
ΣRAM
family standard allows a user to implement the interface
protocol best suited to the task at hand.
