SigmaRAM Family Overview
GS8170LW36/72A SigmaRAMs are built in compliance with
the SigmaRAM pinout standard for synchronous SRAMs.
They are 18,874,368-bit (18Mb) SRAMs. This family of wide,
very low voltage CMOS I/O SRAMs is designed to operate at
the speeds needed to implement economical high performance
networking systems.
ΣRAMs are offered in a number of configurations including
Late Write, Double Late Write, and Double Data Rate (DDR).
The logical differences between the protocols employed by
these RAMs mainly involve various approaches to write
cueing and data transfer rates. The ΣRAM family standard
allows a user to implement the interface protocol best suited to
the task at hand.
Functional Description
Because SigmaRAMs are synchronous devices, address data
inputs and read/write control inputs are captured on the rising
edge of the input clock. 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.
ΣRAMs support pipelined reads utilizing a rising-edge-
triggered output register. They also utilize a Dual Cycle
Deselect (DCD) output deselect protocol.
ΣRAMs are implemented with high performance CMOS
technology and are packaged in a 209-bump BGA.

Operation Control
All address, data and control inputs (with the exception of EP2, EP3, ZQ, and the mode pins, L6, M6, and J6) are synchronized to
rising clock edges. Data in is captured on both rising and falling edges of CK. 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 (E1, E2, and E3). Deassertion of any one of the Enable inputs will deactivate the device. It should be noted
that ONLY deactivation of the RAM via E2 and/or E3 deactivates the Echo Clocks, CQ1–CQ2.

Read Operations
Pipelined Read
Read operation is initiated when the following conditions are satisfied at the rising edge of clock: All three chip enables (E1, E2,
and E3) are active, the write enable input signal (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 Operations
Write operation occurs when the following conditions are satisfied at the rising edge of clock: All three chip enables (E1, E2, and
E3) are active, the write enable input signal (W) is asserted low, and ADV is asserted low.

Late Write
In Late Write mode the RAM requires Data In one rising clock edge later than the edge used to load Address and Control. Late
Write protocol has been employed on SRAMs designed for RISC processor L2 cache applications and in Flow Through mode NBT
SRAMs.
Byte Write Control
The Byte Write Enable inputs (Bx) determine which bytes will be written. Any combination of Byte Write Enable control pins,
including all or none, may be activated. A Write Cycle with no Byte Write inputs active is a write abort cycle.

Special Functions
Burst Cycles
SRAMs provide an on-chip burst address generator that can be utilized, if desired, to simplify burst read or write implementations.
The ADV control pin, when driven high, commands the SRAM to advance the internal address counter and use the counter
generated address to read or write the SRAM. The starting address for the first cycle in a burst cycle series is loaded into the SRAM
by driving the ADV pin low, into Load mode.

SigmaRAM Late Write SRAM Burst Writes with Counter Wrap-around
Burst Order
The burst address counter wraps around to its initial state after four internal addresses (the loaded address and three more) have
been accessed. SigmaRAMs always count in linear burst order.
Note:
The burst counter wraps to initial state on the 5th rising edge of clock.
Echo Clock
SRAMs feature Echo Clocks, CQ1, CQ2, CQ1, and CQ2 that track the performance of the output drivers. The Echo Clocks are
delayed copies of the main RAM clock, CK. Echo Clocks are designed to track changes in output driver delays due to variance in
die temperature and supply voltage. The Echo Clocks are designed to fire with the rest of the data output drivers. SigmaRAMs
provide both in-phase, or true, Echo Clock outputs (CQ1 and CQ2) and inverted Echo Clock outputs (CQ1 and CQ2).

It should be noted that deselection of the RAM via E2 and E3 also deselects the Echo Clock output drivers. The deselection of
Echo Clock drivers is always pipelined to the same degree as output data. Deselection of the RAM via E1 does not deactivate the
Echo Clocks.
Programmable Enables
ΣRAMs feature two user-programmable chip enable inputs, E2 and E3. The sense of the inputs, whether they function as active
low or active high inputs, is determined by the state of the programming inputs, EP2 and EP3. For example, if EP2 is held at VDD,
E2 functions as an active high enable. If EP2 is held to VSS, E2 functions as an active low chip enable input.
Programmability of E2 and E3 allows four banks of depth expansion to be accomplished with no additional logic. By programming
the enable inputs of four SRAMs in binary sequence (00, 01, 10, 11) and driving the enable inputs with two address inputs, four
SRAMs can be made to look like one larger RAM to the system.

It should be noted that deselection of the RAM via E2 and E3 also deselects the Echo Clock output drivers. The deselection of
Echo Clock drivers is always pipelined to the same degree as output data. Deselection of the RAM via E1 does not deactivate the
Echo Clocks.
In some applications it may be appropriate to pause between banks; to deselect both RAMs with E1 before resuming read
operations. An E1 deselect at a bank switch will allow at least one clock to be issued from the new bank before the first read cycle
in the bank. Although the following drawing illustrates a E1 read pause upon switching from Bank 1 to Bank 2, a write to Bank 2
would have the same effect, causing the RAM in Bank 2 to issue at least one clock before it is needed.

of data per single external address input. If a fourth (4th) Continue operation is initiated, the internal address wraps back to the initial exter-
nal (base) address.

JTAG Port Operation
Overview
The JTAG Port on this RAM operates in a manner that is compliant with IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990, a serial boundary scan
interface standard (commonly referred to as JTAG). The JTAG Port input interface levels scale with VDD. The JTAG output
drivers are powered by VDDQ.
Disabling the JTAG Port
It is possible to use this device without utilizing the JTAG port. The port is reset at power-up and will remain inactive unless
clocked. TCK, TDI, and TMS are designed with internal pull-up circuits.To assure normal operation of the RAM with the JTAG
Port unused, TCK, TDI, and TMS may be left floating or tied to either VDD or VSS. TDO should be left unconnected.

JTAG Port Registers
Overview
The various JTAG registers, refered to as Test Access Port orTAP Registers, are selected (one at a time) via the sequences of 1s
and 0s applied to TMS as TCK is strobed. Each of the TAP Registers is a serial shift register that captures serial input data on the
rising edge of TCK and pushes serial data out on the next falling edge of TCK. When a register is selected, it is placed between the
TDI and TDO pins.
Instruction Register
The Instruction Register holds the instructions that are executed by the TAP controller when it is moved into the Run, Test/Idle, or
the various data register states. Instructions are 3 bits long. The Instruction Register can be loaded when it is placed between the
TDI and TDO pins. The Instruction Register is automatically preloaded with the IDCODE instruction at power-up or whenever the
controller is placed in Test-Logic-Reset state.
Bypass Register
The Bypass Register is a single bit register that can be placed between TDI and TDO. It allows serial test data to be passed through
the RAM’s JTAG Port to another device in the scan chain with as little delay as possible.
Boundary Scan Register
The Boundary Scan Register is a collection of flip flops that can be preset by the logic level found on the RAM’s input or I/O pins.
The flip flops are then daisy chained together so the levels found can be shifted serially out of the JTAG Port’s TDO pin. The
Boundary Scan Register also includes a number of place holder flip flops (always set to a logic 1). The relationship between the
device pins and the bits in the Boundary Scan Register is described in the Scan Order Table following. The Boundary Scan
Register, under the control of the TAP Controller, is loaded with the contents of the RAMs I/O ring when the controller is in
Capture-DR state and then is placed between the TDI and TDO pins when the controller is moved to Shift-DR state. SAMPLE-Z,
SAMPLE/PRELOAD and EXTEST instructions can be used to activate the Boundary Scan Register.
JTAG Pin Descriptions
Pin Pin Name I/O Description
TCK Test Clock In Clocks all TAP events. All inputs are captured on the rising edge of TCK and all outputs propagate
from the falling edge of TCK.
TMS Test Mode Select In
The TMS input is sampled on the rising edge of TCK. This is the command input for the TAP
controller state machine. An undriven TMS input will produce the same result as a logic one input
level.
TDI Test Data In In
The TDI input is sampled on the rising edge of TCK. This is the input side of the serial registers
placed between TDI and TDO. The register placed between TDI and TDO is determined by the
state of the TAP Controller state machine and the instruction that is currently loaded in the TAP
Instruction Register (refer to the TAP Controller State Diagram). An undriven TDI pin will produce
the same result as a logic one input level.
TDO Test Data Out Out
Output that is active depending on the state of the TAP state machine. Output changes in
response to the falling edge of TCK. This is the output side of the serial registers placed between
TDI and TDO.
Note:
This device does not have a TRST (TAP Reset) pin. TRST is optional in IEEE 1149.1. The Test-Logic-Reset state is entered while TMS is
held high for five rising edges of TCK. The TAP Controller is also reset automaticly at power-up.

JTAG TAP Block Diagram
Identification (ID) Register
The ID Register is a 32-bit register that is loaded with a device and vendor specific 32-bit code when the controller is put in
Capture-DR state with the IDCODE command loaded in the Instruction Register. The code is loaded from a 32-bit on-chip ROM.
It describes various attributes of the RAM as indicated below. The register is then placed between the TDI and TDO pins when the
controller is moved into Shift-DR state. Bit 0 in the register is the LSB and the first to reach TDO when shifting begins.

Tap Controller Instruction Set
Overview
There are two classes of instructions defined in the Standard 1149.1-1990; the standard (Public) instructions, and device specific
(Private) instructions. Some Public instructions are mandatory for 1149.1 compliance. Optional Public instructions must be
implemented in prescribed ways. The TAP on this device may be used to monitor all input and I/O pads, and can be used to load
address, data or control signals into the RAM or to preload the I/O buffers.
When the TAP controller is placed in Capture-IR state the two least significant bits of the instruction register are loaded with 01.
When the controller is moved to the Shift-IR state the Instruction Register is placed between TDI and TDO. In this state the desired
instruction is serially loaded through the TDI input (while the previous contents are shifted out at TDO). For all instructions, the
TAP executes newly loaded instructions only when the controller is moved to Update-IR state. The TAP instruction set for this
device is listed in the following table.

JTAG Tap Controller State Diagram
Instruction Descriptions
BYPASS
When the BYPASS instruction is loaded in the Instruction Register the Bypass Register is placed between TDI and TDO. This
occurs when the TAP controller is moved to the Shift-DR state. This allows the board level scan path to be shortened to facili-
tate testing of other devices in the scan path.
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
SAMPLE/PRELOAD is a Standard 1149.1 mandatory public instruction. When the SAMPLE / PRELOAD instruction is
loaded in the Instruction Register, moving the TAP controller into the Capture-DR state loads the data in the RAMs input and
I/O buffers into the Boundary Scan Register. Boundary Scan Register locations are not associated with an input or I/O pin, and
are loaded with the default state identified in the Boundary Scan Chain table at the end of this section of the datasheet. Because
the RAM clock is independent from the TAP Clock (TCK) it is possible for the TAP to attempt to capture the I/O ring contents
while the input buffers are in transition (i.e. in a metastable state). Although allowing the TAP to sample metastable inputs will
not harm the device, repeatable results cannot be expected. RAM input signals must be stabilized for long enough to meet the
TAPs input data capture set-up plus hold time (tTS plus tTH). The RAMs clock inputs need not be paused for any other TAP
operation except capturing the I/O ring contents into the Boundary Scan Register. Moving the controller to Shift-DR state then
places the boundary scan register between the TDI and TDO pins.
EXTEST
EXTEST is an IEEE 1149.1 mandatory public instruction. It is to be executed whenever the instruction register is loaded with
all logic 0s. The EXTEST command does not block or override the RAM’s input pins; therefore, the RAM’s internal state is
still determined by its input pins.

Rev: 1.04 4/2005 26/32 © 2003, GSI Technology
Typically, the Boundary Scan Register is loaded with the desired pattern of data with the SAMPLE/PRELOAD command.
Then the EXTEST command is used to output the Boundary Scan Registers contents, in parallel, on the RAM’s data output
drivers on the falling edge of TCK when the controller is in the Update-IR state.
Alternately, the Boundary Scan Register may be loaded in parallel using the EXTEST command. When the EXTEST instruc-
tion is selected, the sate of all the RAM’s input and I/O pins, as well as the default values at Scan Register locations not asso-
ciated with a pin, are transferred in parallel into the Boundary Scan Register on the rising edge of TCK in the Capture-DR
state, the RAM’s output pins drive out the value of the Boundary Scan Register location with which each output pin is associ-
ated.
IDCODE
The IDCODE instruction causes the ID ROM to be loaded into the ID register when the controller is in Capture-DR mode and
places the ID register between the TDI and TDO pins in Shift-DR mode. The IDCODE instruction is the default instruction
loaded in at power up and any time the controller is placed in the Test-Logic-Reset state.
SAMPLE-Z
If the SAMPLE-Z instruction is loaded in the instruction register, all RAM outputs are forced to an inactive drive state (high-
Z) and the Boundary Scan Register is connected between TDI and TDO when the TAP controller is moved to the Shift-DR
state.
