2 MEG x 8
EDO DRAM
PAGE ACCESS
PAGE operations allow faster data operations (READ,
WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE) within a row address-
defined page boundary. The PAGE 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 PAGE MODE of
operation, i.e., closes the page.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 2 Meg x 8 DRAM is a randomly accessed, solid-state
memory containing 16,777,216 bits organized in a x8 con-
figuration. RAS# is used to latch the row address (first 11
bits). Once the page has been opened by RAS#, CAS# is
used to latch the column address (the latter 10 bits, A10 is
“don’t care”). READ and WRITE cycles are selected with the
WE# input.
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#, whichever occurs last. An EARLY WRITE occurs
when WE# is taken LOW prior to CAS# falling. A LATE
WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE occurs when WE# falls
after CAS# is taken LOW. During EARLY WRITE cycles,
the data outputs (Q) will remain High-Z, regardless of the
state of OE#. During LATE WRITE or READ-MODIFY-
WRITE cycles, OE# must be taken HIGH to disable the data
outputs prior to applying input data. If a LATE WRITE or
READ-MODIFY-WRITE is attempted while keeping OE#
LOW, no write will occur, and the data outputs will drive
read data from the accessed location.
The four data inputs and the four data outputs are routed
through four pins using common I/O, and pin direction is
controlled by WE# and OE#.
EDO PAGE MODE
The 2 Meg x 8 EDO DRAM provides EDO PAGE MODE,
which is an accelerated FAST PAGE MODE cycle. The
primary advantage of EDO is the availability of data-out
even after CAS# returns HIGH. EDO allows CAS# precharge
time (
t
CP) to occur without the output data going invalid.
This elimination of CAS# output control allows pipeline
READs.
FAST PAGE MODE DRAMs have traditionally turned
the output buffers off (High-Z) with the rising edge of
CAS#. EDO PAGE MODE DRAMs operate like FAST
PAGE MODE DRAMs, except data will remain valid or
become valid after CAS# goes HIGH during READs, pro-
vided RAS# and OE# are held LOW. If OE# is pulsed while

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 Re-
fresh 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 distributed 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 transition.
If the DRAM controller uses a distributed refresh se-
quence, a burst refresh is not required upon exiting
Self Refresh. However, if the DRAM controller utilizes a
RAS#- ONLY or burst refresh sequence, all rows must be
refreshed within the average internal refresh rate, prior to
the resumption of normal operation.
RAS# and CAS# are LOW, data will toggle from valid data
to High-Z and back to the same valid data. If OE# is toggled
or pulsed after CAS# goes HIGH while RAS# remains
LOW, data will transition to and remain High-Z (refer to
Figure 1). WE# can also perform the function of disabling
the output devices under certain conditions, as shown in
Figure 2.
During an application, if the DQ outputs are wire OR’d,
OE# must be used to disable idle banks of DRAMs. Alter-
natively, pulsing WE# to the idle banks during CAS# high
time will also High-Z the outputs. Independent of OE#
control, the outputs will disable after
t
OFF, which is refer-
enced from the rising edge of RAS# or CAS#, whichever
occurs last.
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
combinations of RAS# addresses (2,048) 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 with the
S version. The “S” option allows the user the choice of a fully
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.
