Functional Overview
The CY7C1371D/CY7C1373D is a synchronous flow through
burst SRAM designed specifically to eliminate wait states during
write-read transitions. All synchronous inputs pass through input
registers controlled by the rising edge of the clock. The clock
signal is qualified with the clock enable input signal (CEN). If
CEN is HIGH, the clock signal is not recognized and all internal
states are maintained. All synchronous operations are qualified
with CEN. Maximum access delay from the clock rise (tCDV) is
6.5 ns (133-MHz device).
Accesses can be initiated by asserting all three chip enables
(CE1, CE2, CE3) active at the rising edge of the clock. If clock
enable (CEN) is active LOW and ADV/LD is asserted LOW, the
address presented to the device is latched. The access can
either be a read or write operation, depending on the status of
the write enable (WE). BWX can be used to conduct byte write
operations.
Write operations are qualified by the write enable (WE). All writes
are simplified with on-chip synchronous self-timed write circuitry.
Three synchronous chip enables (CE1, CE2, CE3) and an
asynchronous output enable (OE) simplify depth expansion. All
operations (reads, writes, and deselects) are pipelined. ADV/LD
must be driven LOW after the device has been deselected to
load a new address for the next operation.
Single Read Accesses
A read access is initiated when these conditions are satisfied at
clock rise:
■CEN is asserted LOW
■CE1, CE2, and CE3 are all asserted active
■The write enable input signal WE is deasserted HIGH
■ADV/LD is asserted LOW.
The address presented to the address inputs is latched into the
address register and presented to the memory array and control
logic. The control logic determines that a read access is in
progress and allows the requested data to propagate to the
output buffers. The data is available within 6.5 ns (133-MHz
device) provided OE is active LOW. After the first clock of the
read access, the output buffers are controlled by OE and the
internal control logic. OE must be driven LOW in order for the
device to drive out the requested data. On the subsequent clock,
another operation (read/write/deselect) can be initiated. When
the SRAM is deselected at clock rise by one of the chip enable
signals, its output is tristated immediately.
Burst Read Accesses
The CY7C1371D/CY7C1373D has an on-chip burst counter that
allows the user the ability to supply a single address and conduct
up to four reads without reasserting the address inputs. ADV/LD
must be driven LOW to load a new address into the SRAM, as
described in the Single Read Accesses section above. The
sequence of the burst counter is determined by the MODE input
signal. A LOW input on MODE selects a linear burst mode, a
HIGH selects an interleaved burst sequence. Both burst
counters use A0 and A1 in the burst sequence, and wraps around
when incremented sufficiently. A HIGH input on ADV/LD
increments the internal burst counter regardless of the state of
chip enable inputs or WE. WE is latched at the beginning of a
burst cycle. Therefore, the type of access (read or write) is
maintained throughout the burst sequence.
Single Write Accesses
Write access are initiated when the following conditions are
satisfied at clock rise: (1) CEN is asserted LOW, (2) CE1, CE2,
and CE3 are all asserted active, and (3) the write signal WE is
asserted LOW. The address presented to the address bus is
loaded into the address register. The write signals are latched
into the control logic block. The data lines are automatically
tristated regardless of the state of the OE input signal. This
allows the external logic to present the data on DQs and DQPX.
On the next clock rise the data presented to DQs and DQPX (or
a subset for byte write operations, see truth table for details)
inputs is latched into the device and the write is complete.
Additional accesses (read/write/deselect) can be initiated on this
cycle.
The data written during the write operation is controlled by BWX
signals. The CY7C1371D/CY7C1373D provides byte write
capability that is described in the truth table. Asserting the write
enable input (WE) with the selected byte write select input
selectively writes to only the desired bytes. Bytes not selected
during a byte write operation remains unaltered. A synchronous
self-timed write mechanism has been provided to simplify the
write operations. Byte write capability has been included to
greatly simplify read/modify/write sequences, which can be
reduced to simple byte write operations.
Because the CY7C1371D/CY7C1373D is a common I/O device,
data must not be driven into the device while the outputs are
active. The output enable (OE) can be deasserted HIGH before
presenting data to the DQs and DQPX inputs. Doing so tristates
the output drivers. As a safety precaution, DQs and DQPX are
automatically tristated during the data portion of a write cycle,
regardless of the state of OE.
Burst Write Accesses
The CY7C1371D/CY7C1373D has an on-chip burst counter that
allows the user the ability to supply a single address and conduct
up to four write operations without reasserting the address
inputs. ADV/LD must be driven LOW to load the initial address,
as described in the Single Write Accesses section above. When
ADV/LD is driven HIGH on the subsequent clock rise, the chip
enables (CE1, CE2, and CE3) and WE inputs are ignored and the
burst counter is incremented. The correct BWX inputs must be
driven in each cycle of the burst write, to write the correct bytes
of data.
Sleep Mode
The ZZ input pin is an asynchronous input. Asserting ZZ places
the SRAM in a power conservation “sleep” mode. Two clock
cycles are required to enter into or exit from this “sleep” mode.
While in this mode, data integrity is guaranteed. Accesses
pending when entering the “sleep” mode are not considered valid
nor is the completion of the operation guaranteed. The device
must be deselected prior to entering the “sleep” mode. CE1, CE2,
and CE3, must remain inactive for the duration of tZZREC after the
ZZ input returns LOW.
