FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
READ AND WRITE OPERATIONS
All control signals except G are registered on the rising
edge of the CK clock. These signals must meet the setup
and hold times shown in the AC Characteristics table. On the
falling edge of the current cycle, the output latch becomes
transparent and data is available. The output data is latched
on the rising edge of the next clock. The output data is avail-
able at the output at tKLQV or tKHQV, whichever is later.
tKHQV is the internal latency of the device. During this same
cycle, a new read address can be applied to the address
pins.
A write cycle can occur on the next cycle as long as
tKHQZ and tDVKH are met. Read cycles may follow write
cycles immediately.
G, SS, and SW control output drive. Chip deselect via a
high on SS at the rising edge of the CK clock has its effect on
the output drivers immediately. SW low deselects the output
drivers immediately (on the same cycle). Output selecting via
a low on SS and high on SW at a rising CK clock has its
effect on the output drivers at tKLQX. Output drive is also
controlled directly by output enable (G). G is an asynchro-
nous input. No clock edges are required to enable or disable
the output with G.
Output data will be valid at tGLQV, tKHQV, or tKLQV,
which is even later. Outputs will begin driving at tKLQX1.
Outputs will hold previous data until tKLQX or tGHQX, or
tKHQZ in the case of a write following a read.
WRITE AND BYTE WRITE FUNCTIONS
Note that in the following discussion the term “byte” refers
to nine bits of the RAM I/O bus. In all cases, the timing
parameters described for synchronous write input (SW)
apply to each of the byte write enable inputs (SBa, SBb,
etc.).
Byte write enable inputs have no effect on read cycles.
This allows the system designer not interested in performing
byte writes to connect the byte enable inputs to active low
(VSS). Reads of all bytes proceed normally and write cycles,
activated via a low on SW and the rising edge of CK, write
the entire RAM I/O width. This way the designer is spared
having to drive multiple write input buffer loads.
Byte writes are performed using the byte write enable
inputs in conjunction with the synchronous write input (SW).
It is important to note that writing any one byte will inhibit a
read of all bytes at the current address. The RAM can not
simultaneously read one byte and write another at the same
address. A write cycle initiated with none of the byte write
enable inputs active, is neither a read or a write. No write will
occur, but the outputs will be deselected as in a normal write
cycle.
LATE WRITE
The write address is sampled on the first rising edge of
clock, and write data is sampled on the following rising edge.
The late write feature is implemented with single stage
write buffering. Write buffering is transparent to the user. A
comparator monitors the address bus and, when necessary,
routes buffer contents to the outputs to ensure coherent
operation. This occurs in all cases, whether there is a byte
write or a full word is written.
PROGRAMMABLE IMPEDANCE OPERATION
The designer can program the RAMs output buffer imped-
ance by terminating the ZQ pin to VSS through a precision
resistor (RQ). The value of RQ is five times the output imped-
ance desired. For example, a 250 Ω resistor will give an out-
put impedance of 50 Ω.
Impedance updates occur continuously and the frequency
of the update is based on the subdivided CK clock. Note that
if the K clock stops, so does the impedance update.
The actual change in the impedance occurs in small incre-
ments and is monotonic. There are no significant distur-
bances that occur on the output because of this smooth
update method.
The impedance update is not related to any particular type
of cycle because the impedance is updated continuously and
is based on the CK clock. Updates occur regardless of
whether the device is performing a read, write, or a deselect
cycle and does not depend on the state of G.
At power up or recovery from sleep mode, the output
impedance defaults to approximately 50 Ω. It will take 4,000
to 16,000 cycles for the impedance to be completely updated
if the programmed impedance is much higher or lower than
50 Ω.
The output buffers can also be programmed in a minimum
impedance configuration by connecting ZQ to VDD.
POWER UP AND INITIALIZATION
The following supply voltage application sequence is
recommended: VSS, VDD, then VDDQ. Please note, per
the Absolute Maximum Ratings table, VDDQ is not to exceed
VDD + 0.5 V, whatever the instantaneous value of VDD.
Once supplies have reached specification levels, a minimum
dwell of 1.0 ms with CK clock inputs cycling is required
before beginning normal operations. At power up the output
impedance will be set at approximately 50 Ω as stated
above.
