GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1 Meg x 16 is a randomly accessed, solid-state
memory containing 16,777,216 bits organized in a x16
configuration. The 1 Meg x 16 has both BYTE WRITE
and WORD WRITE access cycles via two CAS# pins
(CASL# and CASH#). These function like a single CAS#
found on other DRAMs in that either CASL# or CASH#
will generate an internal CAS#.
The CAS# function and timing are determined by
the first CAS# (CASL# or CASH#) to transition LOW and
the last CAS# to transition back HIGH. Using only one

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
of the two signals results in a BYTE WRITE cycle. CASL#
transitioning LOW selects an access cycle for the lower
byte (DQ0-DQ7), and CASH# transitioning LOW se-
lects an access cycle for the upper byte (DQ8-DQ15).
Each bit is uniquely addressed through the 20 ad-
dress bits during READ or WRITE cycles. These are
entered 10 bits (A0-A9) at a time. RAS# is used to latch
the first 10 bits and CAS#, the latter 10 bits. The CAS#
function 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.
The CASL# and CASH# inputs internally generate a
CAS# signal that functions like the single CAS# input
on other DRAMs. The key difference is each CAS# input
(CASL# and CASH#) controls its corresponding eight
DQ inputs during WRITE accesses. CASL# controls
DQ0-DQ7, and CASH# controls DQ8-DQ15. The two
CAS# controls give the 1 Meg x 16 both BYTE READ and
BYTE WRITE cycle capabilities.
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# (CASL# or CASH#), whichever occurs last. An
EARLY WRITE occurs when WE is taken LOW prior to
either CAS# falling. A LATE WRITE or READ-MODIFY-
WRITE occurs when WE falls after CAS# (CASL# or
CASH#) was 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 16 data inputs and 16 data outputs are routed
through 16 pins using common I/O. Pin direction is
controlled by OE# and WE#.
The 1 Meg x 16 DRAM must be refreshed periodi-
cally in order to retain stored data.

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 al-
ways initiated with a row address strobed in by RAS#,
followed by a column address strobed in by CAS#. Ad-
ditional columns may be accessed by providing valid
column addresses, strobing CAS# and holding RAS#
LOW, thus executing faster memory cycles. Returning
RAS# HIGH terminates the page mode of operation,
i.e., closes the page.
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 drivers under cer-
tain 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.
Alternatively, pulsing WE# to the idle banks during
CAS# HIGH time will also High-Z the outputs. Inde-
pendent of OE# control, the outputs will disable after
t
OFF, which is referenced from the rising edge of RAS#
or CAS#, whichever occurs last.
EDO PAGE MODE
The 1 Meg x 16 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 provides for CAS#
precharge time (
t
CP) to occur without the output data
going invalid. This elimination of CAS# output control
provides for pipelined 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, provided RAS# and OE# are held LOW. If OE# is
pulsed while 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
BYTE ACCESS CYCLE
The BYTE WRITEs and BYTE READs are determined
by the use of CASL# and CASH#. Enabling CASL# se-
lects a lower BYTE access (DQ0-DQ7). Enabling CASH#
selects an upper BYTE access (DQ8-DQ15). Enabling
both CASL# and CASH# selects a WORD WRITE cycle.
The 1 Meg x 16 may be viewed as two 1 Meg x 8
DRAMs that have common input controls, with the ex-
ception of the CAS# inputs. Figure 3 illustrates the BYTE
WRITE and WORD WRITE cycles.
Additionally, both bytes must always be of the same
mode of operation if both bytes are active. A CAS#
precharge must be satisfied prior to changing modes of
operation between the upper and lower bytes. For ex-
ample, an EARLY WRITE on one byte and a LATE WRITE
on the other byte are not allowed during the same cycle.

The DQs go to High-Z if WE# falls, and if

for input data in an EARLY WRITE cycle. The DQs
will remain High-Z until CAS# goes LOW with
WE# HIGH (i.e., until a READ cycle is initiated).

However, an EARLY WRITE on one byte and a LATE
WRITE on the other byte, after a CAS# precharge has
been satisfied, are permissible.
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 distrib-
uted refresh sequence, a burst refresh is not required
upon exiting self refresh. However, if the DRAM con-
troller utilizes a RAS#-ONLY or burst refresh sequence,
all 1,024 rows must be refreshed within the average
internal refresh rate, prior to the resumption of normal
operation.
DRAM 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 1,024 combinations of RAS# addresses are
executed within
t
REF (MAX), regardless of sequence.
The CBR, EXTENDED and SELF REFRESH cycles will
invoke the internal refresh counter for automatic RAS#
addressing.
An optional self refresh mode is available on the “S”
version. The self refresh feature is initiated by per-
forming a CBR REFRESH cycle and holding RAS# LOW
for the specified
t
RASS. 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 re-
fresh period of 128ms, or 125µs per row, when using a

Returning RAS# and CAS# HIGH terminates a
