DEVICES INCORPORATED
8K x 8 Cache-Tag Static RAM
DESCRIPTION
The
L7C174
is a high-performance,
low power CMOS static RAM opti-
mized for use as the address tag
comparator in high speed cache
memory systems. One L7C174 can be
used to map 8K cache lines into a
1 megabyte address space by compar-
ing 20 address bits organized as
13-line address bits and 7-page
address bits.
This device is available in five speed
grades with maximum address-to-
MATCH times of 12 ns to 35 ns.
Operation is from a single +5 V power
supply with power consumption only
being 300 mW (typical) at 35 ns.
Dissipation drops to 500 µW (typical)
when the memory is deselected
(Enable is high).
The L7C174 consumes only 30 µW
(typical) at 3 V allowing effective
battery backup operation. For mini-
mal power consumption, data may be
retained in inactive storage with a
supply voltage as low as 2 V.
The L7C174 provides fully asynchro-
nous (unclocked) operation with
matching access and cycle times. An
active low Chip Enable and Output
Enable along with a three state I/O
bus simplify the connection of several
chips for increased storage capacity.
Wide tag addresses are easily accom-
modated by paralleling devices and
Wire-ORing the MATCH outputs. A
low on the MATCH output indicates a
data mismatch.
Memory locations are specified on
address pins A
0
through A
12
with
functions defined in the Truth Table.
During CLEAR, the state of the I/O
pins remain completely defined by the
WE, CE, and OE control inputs. Data
In has the same polarity as Data Out.

The storage circuitry is organized as
8192 words by 8 bits per word and
includes an 8-bit data comparator
with MATCH output. The 8-bit data
is input/output on shared I/O pins
and comparison is performed between
8-bit incoming data and accessed
memory locations. Also provided is a
high speed CLEAR control which
clears all memory locations to zero
when activated. This allows all
address tag bits to be cleared when
powering on or when flushing the
cache.
