Functional description
The AS7C33512PFD16A and AS7C33512PFD18A are high performance CMOS 8-Mbit synchronous Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)
devices organized as 524,288 words × 16 or 18 bits and incorporate a pipeline for highest frequency on any given technology.
Timing for this device is compatible with existing Pentium® synchronous cache specifications. This architecture is suited for ASIC, DSP
(TMS320C6X), and PowerPC™1-based systems in computing, datacom, instrumentation, and telecommunications systems.
Fast cycle times of 6/6.6/7.5/10 ns with clock access times (tCD) of 3.5/3.8/4.0/5.0 ns enable 166, 150, 133 and 100 MHz bus frequencies.
Three chip enable inputs permit easy memory expansion. Burst operation is initiated in one of two ways: the controller address strobe (ADSC),
or the processor address strobe (ADSP). The burst advance pin (ADV) allows subsequent internally generated burst addresses.
Read cycles are initiated with ADSP (regardless of WE and ADSC) using the new external address clocked into the on-chip address register.
When ADSP is sampled LOW, the chip enables are sampled active, and the output buffer is enabled with OE. In a read operation the data
accessed by the current address, registered in the address registers by the positive edge of CLK, are carried to the data-out registers and driven
on the output pins on the next positive edge of CLK. ADV is ignored on the clock edge that samples ADSP asserted but is sampled on all
subsequent clock edges. Address is incremented internally for the next access of the burst when ADV is sampled LOW and both address strobes
are HIGH. Burst mode is selectable with the
LBO
input. With
LBO
unconnected or driven HIGH, burst operations use a Pentium® count
sequence. With
LBO
driven LOW the device uses a linear count sequence suitable for PowerPC™ and many other applications.
Write cycles are performed by disabling the output buffers with OE and asserting a write command. A global write enable GWE writes all 16/
18 bits regardless of the state of individual BW[a:b] inputs. Alternately, when GWE is HIGH, one or more bytes may be written by asserting
BWE and the appropriate individual byte BWn signal(s).
BWn is ignored on the clock edge that samples ADSP LOW, but is sampled on all subsequent clock edges. Output buffers are disabled when
BWn is sampled LOW (regardless of OE). Data is clocked into the data input register when BWn is sampled LOW. Address is incremented
internally to the next burst address if BWn and ADV are sampled LOW.
Read or write cycles may also be initiated with
ADSC
instead of
ADSP
. The differences between cycles initiated with
ADSC
and
ADSP
follow.
• ADSP must be sampled HIGH when
ADSC
is sampled LOW to initiate a cycle with
ADSC
.
•
WE
signals are sampled on the clock edge that samples
ADSC
LOW (and
ADSP
HIGH).
• Master chip select
CE0
blocks
ADSP
, but not
ADSC
.
The AS7C33512PFD16A and AS7C33512PFD18A operate from a 3.3V supply. I/Os use a separate power supply that can operate at 2.5V or
3.3V. These devices are available in a 100-pin 14×20 mm TQFP packaging 119-ball 14×20 mm BGA.
