INTRODUCTION
The UT8R256K16 is a high-performance CMOS static RAM
organized as 262,144 words by 16 bits. Easy memory expansion
is provided by active LOW and HIGH chip enables (E1, E2), an
active LOW output enable (G), and three-state drivers. This
device has a power-down feature that reduces power
consumption by more than 90% when deselected.
Writing to the device is accomplished by taking chip enable one
(E1) input LOW, chip enable two (E2) HIGH and write enable
(W) input LOW. Data on the 16 I/O pins (DQ0 through DQ15)
is then written into the location specified on the address pins
(A0 through A17). Reading from the device is accomplished by
taking chip enable one (E1) and output enable (G) LOW while
forcing write enable (W) and chip enable two (E2) HIGH. Under
these conditions, the contents of the memory location specified
by the address pins will appear on the I/O pins.
The 16 input/output pins (DQ0 through DQ15) are placed in a
high impedance state when the device is deselected (E1 HIGH
or E2 LOW), the outputs are disabled (G HIGH), or during a
write operation (E1 LOW, E2 HIGH and W LOW).

DEVICE OPERATION
The UT8R256K16 has four control inputs called Enable 1 (E1),
Enable 2 (E2), Write Enable (W), Half-word Enables (BLE/
BHE) and Output Enable (G); 18 address inputs, A(17:0); and
16 bidirectional data lines, DQ(15:0). E1 and E2 device enables
control device selection, active, and standby modes. Asserting
E1 and E2 enables the device, causes IDD to rise to its active
value, and decodes the 18 address inputs to select one of 262,144
words in the memory. W controls read and write operations.
During a read cycle, G must be asserted to enable the outputs.

READ CYCLE
A combination of W and E2 greater than VIH (min) and E1
less than VIL (max) defines a read cycle. Read access time is
measured from the latter of device enable, output enable, or
valid address to valid data output.
SRAM Read Cycle 1, the Address Access in Figure 3a, is
initiated by a change in address inputs while the chip is
enabled with G asserted and W deasserted. Valid data appears
on data outputs DQ(15:0) after the specified tAVQV is
satisfied. Outputs remain active throughout the entire cycle.
As long as device enable and output enable are active, the
address inputs may change at a rate equal to the minimum
read cycle time (tAVAV).
SRAM Read Cycle 2, the Chip Enable-controlled Access in
Figure 3b, is initiated by the latter of E1 and E2 going active
while G remains asserted, W remains deasserted, and the
addresses remain stable for the entire cycle. After the
specified tETQV is satisfied, the 16-bit word addressed by
A(17:0) is accessed and appears at the data outputs DQ(15:0).
SRAM Read Cycle 3, the Output Enable-controlled Access
in Figure 3c, is initiated by G going active while E1 and E2
are asserted, W is deasserted, and the addresses are stable.
Read access time is tGLQV unless tAVQV or tETQV have not
been satisfied.
Write Cycle
A combination of W and E1 less than VIL(max) and E2
greater than VIH(min) defines a write cycle. The state of G is
a “don’t care” for a write cycle. The outputs are placed in the
high-impedance state when either G is greater than VIH(min),
or when W is less than VIL(max).
Write Cycle 1, the Write Enable-controlled Access in Figure
4a, is defined by a write terminated by W going high, with
E1 and E2 still active. The write pulse width is defined by
tWLWH when the write is initiated by W, and by tETWH when
the write is initiated by E1 or E2. Unless the outputs have
been previously placed in the high-impedance state by G, the
user must wait user must wait tWLQZ before applying data to
the 16 bidirectional pins DQ(15:0) to avoid bus contention.
Write Cycle 2, the Chip Enable-controlled Access in Figure
4b, is defined by a write terminated by the latter of E1 or E2
going inactive. The write pulse width is defined by tWLEF
when the write is initiated by W, and by tETEF when the write
is initiated by either E1or E2 going active. For the W initiated
write, unless the outputs have been previously placed in the
high-impedance state by G, the user must wait tWLQZ before
applying data to the sixteen bidirectional pins DQ(15:0) to
avoid bus contention.
BYTE ENABLES
Separate byte enable controls (BLE and BHE) allow
individual bytes to be accessed. BLE controls the lower bits
DQ(7:0). BHE controls the upper bits DQ(15:8). Writing to
the device is performed by asserting E1, E2 and the byte
enables. Reading the device is performed by asserting E1, E2,
G, and the byte enables while W is held inactive (HIGH).
RADIATION HARDNESS
The UT8R256K16 SRAM incorporates special design,
layout, and process features which allows operation in a
limited radiation environment.
