of RAS
and CAS. RAS is similar to a chip enable in that it activates the sense amplifiers as well as the row
decoder. CAS
is used as a chip select to activate the output buffer as well as to latch the address bits into the
column-address buffer.
write enable (W
)
The read or write mode is selected through W
. A logic high on the W input selects the read mode and a logic
low selects the write mode. The write-enable pin can be driven from standard TTL circuits without a pullup
resistor. The data input is disabled when the read mode is selected. When W
goes low prior to CAS (early write),
data out remains in the high-impedance state for the entire cycle, permitting common input/output operation.
data in (D)
Data-in is written during a write or a read-modify-write cycle. Depending on the mode of operation, the falling
edge of CAS
or W strobes data into the on-chip latch. In an early-write cycle, W is brought low prior to CAS,
and the data is strobed in by CAS
with setup and hold times referenced to this signal. In a delayed-write or a
read-modify-write cycle, CAS
is already low, and the data is strobed in by W with setup and hold times
referenced to this signal.
data out (Q)
The 3-state output buffers provide direct TTL compatibility (no pullup resistor required) with a fanout of two
series 54 TTL loads. Data out is the same polarity as data in. The output is in the high-impedance (floating) state
until CAS
is brought low. In a read cycle, the output becomes valid after the access time t
a(C)
. The access time
from CAS
low (t
a(C)
) begins with the negative transition of CAS as long as t
a(R)
and t
a(CA)
are satisfied. The output
becomes valid after the access time has elapsed and remains valid while CAS
is low; when CAS goes high, the
output returns to a high-impedance state. In a delayed-write or read-modify-write cycle, the output follows the
sequence for the read cycle.
refresh
A refresh operation must be performed at least once every 8 ms to retain data. This can be achieved by strobing
each of the 512 rows (A0–A8). A normal read or write cycle refreshes all bits in each selected row. A RAS
-only
operation can be used by holding CAS
at the high (inactive) level, conserving power as the output buffer remains
in the high-impedance state. Externally generated addresses must be used for a RAS
-only refresh. Hidden
refresh can be performed while maintaining valid data at the output pin. This is accomplished by holding CAS
at VIL after a read operation and cycling RAS after a specified precharge period, similar to a RAS-only refresh
cycle.
CAS
-before-RAS (CBR) refresh
CBR refresh is used by bringing CAS
low earlier than RAS (see parameter t
d(CLRL)R
) and holding it low after
RAS
falls (parameter t
d(RLCH)R
). For successive CBR refresh cycles, CAS can remain low while cycling RAS.
The external address is ignored and the refresh address is generated internally . The external address is also
ignored during the hidden refresh cycles.
power up
T o achieve proper device operation, an initial pause of 200 µs followed by a minimum of eight initialization cycles
is required after full V
CC
level is achieved.
test function (TF) pin
During normal device operation, TF must be disconnected or biased at a voltage ≤ V
CC
.
