The GS8320E18/32/36T is a 37,748,736-bit high performance
synchronous SRAM with a 2-bit burst address counter.
Although of a type originally developed for Level 2 Cache
applications supporting high performance CPUs, the device
now finds application in synchronous SRAM applications,
ranging from DSP main store to networking chip set support.

Flow Through/Pipeline Reads
The function of the Data Output register can be controlled by
the user via the FT
pin low places the RAM in Flow Through mode, causing
output data to bypass the Data Output Register. Holding FT
high places the RAM in Pipeline mode, activating the risingedge-triggered Data Output Register.
DCD Pipelined Reads
The GS8320E18/32/36T is a DCD (Dual Cycle Deselect)
pipelined synchronous SRAM. SCD (Single Cycle Deselect)
versions are also available. DCD SRAMs pipeline disable
commands to the same degree as read commands. DCD RAMs
hold the deselect command for one full cycle and then begin
turning off their outputs just after the second rising edge of
clock.
Byte Write and Global Write
Byte write operation is performed by using Byte Write enable
(BW
) input combined with one or more individual byte write
signals (Bx
writing all bytes at one time, regardless of the Byte Write
control inputs.
Sleep Mode
Low power (Sleep mode) is attained through the assertion
(High) of the ZZ signal, or by stopping the clock (CK).
Memory data is retained during Sleep mode.
Core and Interface Voltages
The GS8320E18/32/36T operates on a 2.5 V or 3.3 V power
supply. All input are 3.3 V and 2.5 V compatible. Separate

Sleep Mode
During normal operation, ZZ must be pulled low, either by the user or by its internal pull down resistor. When ZZ is pulled high,
the SRAM will enter a Power Sleep mode after 2 cycles. At this time, internal state of the SRAM is preserved. When ZZ returns to
low, the SRAM operates normally after 2 cycles of wake up time.
Sleep mode is a low current, power-down mode in which the device is deselected and current is reduced to I
2. The duration of
SB
Sleep mode is dictated by the length of time the ZZ is in a High state. After entering Sleep mode, all inputs except ZZ become
disabled and all outputs go to High-Z The ZZ pin is an asynchronous, active high input that causes the device to enter Sleep mode.
When the ZZ pin is driven high, I
2 is guaranteed after the time tZZI is met. Because ZZ is an asynchronous input, pending
SB
operations or operations in progress may not be properly completed if ZZ is asserted. Therefore, Sleep mode must not be initiated
until valid pending operations are completed. Similarly, when exiting Sleep mode during tZZR, only a Deselect or Read commands
may be applied while the SRAM is recovering from Sleep mode.
