4 MEG x 16
EDO DRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 4 Meg x 16 DRAM is a high-speed CMOS,
dynamic random-access memory device containing
67,108,864 bits and designed to operate from 3V to
3.6V. The device is functionally organized as 4,194,304
locations containing 16 bits each. The 4,194,304
memory locations are arranged in 4,096 rows by 1,024
columns on the MT4LC4M16R6 or 8,192 rows by 512
columns on the MT4LC4M16N3. During READ or WRITE
cycles, each location is uniquely addressed via the
address bits: 12 row-address bits (A0-A11) and 10
column-address bits (A0-A9) on the MT4LC4M16R6 or
13 row-address bits (A0-A12) and 9 column-address bits
(A0-A8) on the MT4LC4M16N3 version. In addition,
both byte and word accesses are supported via the two
CAS# pins (CASL# and CASH#).
The CAS# functionality and timing related to ad-
dress and control functions (e.g., latching column
addresses or selecting CBR REFRESH) is such that the
internal CAS# signal is determined by the first external
CAS# signal (CASL# or CASH#) to transition LOW and
the last to transition back HIGH. The CAS# functional-
ity and timing related to driving or latching data is such
that each CAS# signal independently controls the asso-
ciated eight DQ pins.
The row address is latched by the RAS# signal, then
the column address is latched by CAS#. This device
provides EDO-PAGE-MODE operation, allowing for fast
successive data operations (READ, WRITE or READ-
MODIFY-WRITE) within a given row.
The 4 Meg x 16 DRAM must be refreshed periodi-
cally in order to retain stored data.
DRAM ACCESS
Each location in the DRAM is uniquely addressable,
as mentioned in the General Description. Use of both
CAS# signals results in a word access via the 16 I/O pins
(DQ0-DQ15). Using only one of the two signals results
in a BYTE access cycle. CASL# transitioning LOW se-
lects an access cycle for the lower byte (DQ0-DQ7), and
CASH# transitioning LOW selects an access cycle for

DRAM ACCESS (continued)
the upper byte (DQ8-DQ15). General byte and word
access timing is shown in Figures 1 and 2.
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#) 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.
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
example, an EARLY WRITE on one byte and a LATE
WRITE on the other byte are not allowed during the
same cycle. However, an EARLY WRITE on one byte and
a LATE WRITE on the other byte, after a CAS# precharge
has been satisfied, are permissible.
EDO PAGE MODE
DRAM READ cycles have traditionally turned the
output buffers off (High-Z) with the rising edge of
CAS#. If CAS# went HIGH and OE# was LOW (active),
the output buffers would be disabled. The 64Mb EDO
DRAM offers an accelerated page mode cycle by elimi-
nating output disable from CAS# HIGH. This option is
called EDO, and it allows CAS# precharge time (
t
CP) to
occur without the output data going invalid (see READ
and EDO-PAGE-MODE READ waveforms).
EDO operates like any DRAM READ or FAST-PAGE-
MODE READ, except data is held valid after CAS# goes
HIGH, as long as RAS# and OE# are held LOW and WE#
is held HIGH. OE# can be brought LOW or HIGH while
CAS# and RAS# are LOW, and the DQs will transition
between valid data and High-Z. Using OE#, there are
