bits. Each chip is internally con
鏗?/div>
gured as a quad-bank DRAM
with a synchronous interface. Each of the chip鈥檚 33,554,432-bit
banks is organized as 4,096 rows by 512 columns by 16 bits.
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst oriented;
ac cess es start at a selected location and continue for a
programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence.
Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE command,
which is then followed by a READ or WRITE command. The
address bits registered coincident with the ACTIVE command
are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0,
BA1 select the bank; A0-11 select the row). The address bits
registered coincident with the READ or WRITE command are
used to select the starting column location for the burst access.
The SDRAM provides for programmable READ or WRITE burst
lengths of 1, 2, 4 or 8 locations, or the full page, with a burst
terminate option. An AUTO PRECHARGE function may be
enabled to provide a self-timed row precharge that is initiated
at the end of the burst sequence.
The 512Mb SDRAM uses an internal pipelined architecture to
achieve high-speed operation. This architecture is compatible
with the 2n rule of prefetch architectures, but it also allows the
column address to be changed on every clock cycle to achieve
a high-speed, fully random access. Precharging one bank while
accessing one of the other three banks will hide the precharge
cycles and provide seamless, high-speed, random-access
operation.
The 512Mb SDRAM is designed to operate in 3.3V, low-power
memory systems. An auto refresh mode is provided, along with
a power-saving, power-down mode.
All inputs and out puts are LVTTL com pat i ble. SDRAMs
offer substantial advances in DRAM operating performance,
including the ability to synchronously burst data at a high
data rate with automatic col umn-ad dress gen er a tion,
the ability to in ter leave be tween in ter nal banks in
order to hide precharge time and the capability to randomly
change column addresses on each clock cycle during a burst
access.
