various combinations of address bursting, output data
registering, and write cueing. Along with the Common I/O
family of SigmaRAMs, the SigmaQuad family of SRAMs
allows a user to implement the interface protocol best suited to
the task at hand.
Clocking and Addressing Schemes
A Burst of 2 SigmaQuad SRAM is a synchronous device. It
employs two input register clock inputs, K and K. K and K are
independent single-ended clock inputs, not differential inputs
to a single differential clock input buffer. The device also
allows the user to manipulate the output register clock inputs
quasi independently with the C and C clock inputs. C and C are
also independent single-ended clock inputs, not differential
inputs. If the C clocks are tied high, the K clocks are routed
internally to fire the output registers instead.
Because Separate I/O Burst of 2 RAMs always transfer data in
two packets, A0 is internally set to 0 for the first read or write
transfer, and automatically incremented by 1 for the next
transfer. Because the LSB is tied off internally, the address
field of a Burst of 2 RAM is always one address pin less than
the advertised index depth (e.g., the 1M x 18 has a 512K
addressable index).
SigmaRAM™ Family Overview
GS8180QV18 are built in compliance with the SigmaQuad
SRAM pinout standard for Separate I/O synchronous SRAMs.
They are18,874,368-bit (18Mb) SRAMs. These are the first in
a family of wide, very low voltage HSTL I/O SRAMs designed
to operate at the speeds needed to implement economical high
performance networking systems.
SigmaQuad SRAMs are offered in a number of configurations.
Some emulate and enhance other synchronous separate I/O
SRAMs. A higher performance SDR (Single Data Rate) Burst
of 2 version is also offered. The logical differences between
the protocols employed by these RAMs hinge mainly on

Background
Separate I/O SRAMs, from a system architecture point of view, are attractive in applications where alternating reads and writes are
needed. Therefore, the SigmaQuad SRAM interface and truth table are optimized for alternating reads and writes. Separate I/O
SRAMs are unpopular in applications where multiple reads or multiple writes are needed because burst read or write transfers from
Separate I/O SRAMs can cut the RAM’s bandwidth in half.
A SigmaQuad SRAM can begin an alternating sequence of reads and writes with either a read or a write. In order for any separate
I/O SRAM that shares a common address between its two ports to keep both ports running all the time, the RAM must implement
some sort of burst transfer protocol. The burst must be at least long enough to cover the time the opposite port is receiving

instructions on what to do next. The rate at which a RAM can accept a new random address is the most fundamental performance
metric for the RAM. Each of the three SigmaQuad SRAMs support similar address rates because random address rate is
determined by the internal performance of the RAM and they are all based on the same internal circuits. Differences between the
truth tables of the different SigmaQuad SRAMs, or any other Separate I/O SRAMs, follow from differences in how the RAM’s
interface is contrived to interact with the rest of the system. Each mode of operation has its own advantages and disadvantages. The
user should consider the nature of the work to be done by the RAM to evaluate which version is best suited to the application at
hand.
Alternating Read-Write Operations
SigmaQuad SRAMs follow a few simple rules of operation.
- Read or Write commands issued on one port are never allowed to interrupt an operation in progress on the other port.
- Read or Write data transfers in progress may not be interrupted and re-started.
- R and W high always deselects the RAM.
- All address, data, and control inputs are sampled on clock edges.
In order to enforce these rules, each RAM combines present state information with command inputs. See the Truth Table for
details.
Burst of 2 SigmaQuad SRAM DDR Read
The read port samples the status of the Address Input and R pins at each rising edge of K. A low on the Read Enable-bar pin, R,
begins a read cycle. Data can be clocked out one cycle later and again one half cycle after that. A high on the Read Enable-bar pin,
R, begins a read port deselect cycle.
