Description
The MC-458CB646 is a 8,388,608 words by 64 bits synchronous dynamic RAM module on which 8 pieces of 64 M
SDRAM:
µ
PD4564841 (Revision E) are assembled.
This module provides high density and large quantities of memory in a small space without utilizing the surface-
mounting technology on the printed circuit board.
Decoupling capacitors are mounted on power supply line for noise reduction.

AC measurements assume tT = 1 ns.
Reference level for measuring timing of input signals is 1.4 V. Transition times are measured between VIH and VIL.
If tT is longer than 1 ns, reference level for measuring timing of input signals is VIH (MIN.) and VIL (MAX.).
An access time is measured at 1.4 V.

1 PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note: Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction
of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must
be taken to stop generation of static electricity as much as possible, and
quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control must
be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended
to avoid using insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor
devices must be stored and transported in an anti-static container, static
shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools
including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should
be grounded using wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched
with bare hands. Similar precautions need to be taken for PW boards with
semiconductor devices on it.
2 HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS
Note: No connection for CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no
connection is provided to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input
level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence causing malfunction. CMOS
device behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels of
CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down
circuitry. Each unused pin should be connected to VDD or GND with a
resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of being an output pin. All
handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and
related specifications governing the devices.
3 STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note: Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Produc-
tion process of MOS does not define the initial operation status of the
device. Immediately after the power source is turned ON, the devices with
reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does not
guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not
initialized until the reset signal is received. Reset operation must be
executed imme-diately after power-on for devices having reset function.

CAUTION FOR HANDLING MEMORY MODULES
When handling or inserting memory modules, be sure not to touch any components on the modules, such as
the memory IC, chip capacitors and chip resistors. It is necessary to avoid undue mechanical stress on these
components to prevent damaging them.
When re-packing memory modules, be sure the modules are NOT touching each other. Modules in contact
with other modules may cause excessive mechanical stress, which may damage the modules.

NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual

from use of such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents,

While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or
property arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customers must incorporate sufficient safety
measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on
a customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications
of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each
device before using it in a particular application.
Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment,
audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic
equipment and industrial robots
Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books.
If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade,
they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance.
Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product.
