Because it is a synchronous device, address, data inputs, and
read/write control inputs are captured on the rising edge of the
input clock. Burst order control (LBO) must be tied to a power
rail for proper operation. Asynchronous inputs include the
Sleep mode enable (ZZ) and Output Enable. Output Enable can
be used to override the synchronous control of the output
drivers and turn the RAM's output drivers off at any time.
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.
The GS8644Z18/36 may be configured by the user to operate
in Pipeline or Flow Through mode. Operating as a pipelined
synchronous device, in addition to the rising-edge-triggered
registers that capture input signals, the device incorporates a
rising edge triggered output register. For read cycles, pipelined
SRAM output data is temporarily stored by the edge-triggered
output register during the access cycle and then released to the
output drivers at the next rising edge of clock.
The GS8644Z18/36 is implemented with GSI's high
performance CMOS technology and is available in a JEDEC-
standard 165-bump BGA package.
Functional Description
The GS8644Z18/36 is a 72Mbit Synchronous Static SRAM.
GSI's NBT SRAMs, like ZBT, NtRAM, NoBL or other
pipelined read/double late write or flow through read/single
late write SRAMs, allow utilization of all available bus
bandwidth by eliminating the need to insert deselect cycles
when the device is switched from read to write cycles.

Functional Details
Clocking
Deassertion of the Clock Enable (CKE) input blocks the Clock input from reaching the RAM's internal circuits. It may be used to
suspend RAM operations. Failure to observe Clock Enable set-up or hold requirements will result in erratic operation.
Pipeline Mode Read and Write Operations
All inputs (with the exception of Output Enable, Linear Burst Order and Sleep) are synchronized to rising clock edges. Single cycle
read and write operations must be initiated with the Advance/Load pin (ADV) held low, in order to load the new address. Device
activation is accomplished by asserting all three of the Chip Enable inputs (E
1
, E
2,
and E
3
). Deassertion of any one of the Enable
inputs will deactivate the device.

Read operation is initiated when the following conditions are satisfied at the rising edge of clock: CKE is asserted low, all three
chip enables (E
1
, E
2,
and E
3
) are active, the write enable input signals W is deasserted high, and ADV is asserted low. The address
presented to the address inputs is latched into the address register and presented to the memory core and control logic. The control
logic determines that a read access is in progress and allows the requested data to propagate to the input of the output register. At
the next rising edge of clock the read data is allowed to propagate through the output register and onto the output pins.
Write operation occurs when the RAM is selected, CKE is active, and the Write input is sampled low at the rising edge of clock.
The Byte Write Enable inputs (B
A
, B
B
, B
C,
and B
D
) determine which bytes will be written. All or none may be activated. A write
cycle with no Byte Write inputs active is a no-op cycle. The pipelined NBT SRAM provides double late write functionality,
matching the write command versus data pipeline length (2 cycles) to the read command versus data pipeline length (2 cycles). At
the first rising edge of clock, Enable, Write, Byte Write(s), and Address are registered. The Data In associated with that address is
required at the third rising edge of clock.
Flow Through Mode Read and Write Operations
Operation of the RAM in Flow Through mode is very similar to operations in Pipeline mode. Activation of a Read Cycle and the
use of the Burst Address Counter is identical. In Flow Through mode the device may begin driving out new data immediately after
new address are clocked into the RAM, rather than holding new data until the following (second) clock edge. Therefore, in Flow
Through mode the read pipeline is one cycle shorter than in Pipeline mode.
Write operations are initiated in the same way, but differ in that the write pipeline is one cycle shorter as well, preserving the ability
to turn the bus from reads to writes without inserting any dead cycles. While the pipelined NBT RAMs implement a double late
write protocol in Flow Through mode a single late write protocol mode is observed. Therefore, in Flow Through mode, address
and control are registered on the first rising edge of clock and data in is required at the data input pins at the second rising edge of
clock.
