with either ADSP or ADSC inputs. In Burst mode, subsequent
burst addresses are generated internally and are controlled by
ADV. The burst address counter may be configured to count in
either linear or interleave order with the Linear Burst Order (LBO)
input. The Burst function need not be used. New addresses can be
loaded on every cycle with no degradation of chip performance.
Flow Through/Pipeline Reads
The function of the Data Output register can be controlled by the
user via the FT mode . Holding the FT mode 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 rising-edge-triggered Data Output
Register.
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). In addition, Global Write (GW) is available for
writing all bytes at one time, regardless of the Byte Write control
inputs.
FLXDrive™
The ZQ pin allows selection between high drive strength (ZQ low)
for multi-drop bus applications and normal drive strength (ZQ
floating or high) point-to-point applications. See the Output Driver
Characteristics chart for details.
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
ns
retained during Sleep mode.
Core and Interface Voltages
The GS8324Z18/36/72 operates on a 2.5 V or 3.3 V power supply.
All input are 3.3 V and 2.5 V compatible. Separate output power
(V
) pins are used to decouple output noise from the internal
DDQ
circuits and are 3.3 V and 2.5 V compatible.

applications supporting high performance CPUs, the device now
finds application in synchronous SRAM applications, ranging
from DSP main store to networking chip set support.
Controls
Addresses, data I/Os, chip enable (E1), address burst control
inputs (ADSP, ADSC, ADV), and write control inputs (Bx, BW,
GW) are synchronous and are controlled by a positive-edgetriggered clock input (CK). Output enable (G) and power down
control (ZZ) are asynchronous inputs. Burst cycles can be initiated

Functional Details
Clocking
Deassertion of the Clock Enable (CKE) input blocks the Clock input from reaching the RAM's internal circuits. It may be used to
suspend RAM operations. Failure to observe Clock Enable set-up or hold requirements will result in erratic operation.
Pipeline Mode Read and Write Operations
All inputs (with the exception of Output Enable, Linear Burst Order and Sleep) are synchronized to rising clock edges. Single cycle
read and write operations must be initiated with the Advance/Load pin (ADV) held low, in order to load the new address. Device
activation is accomplished by asserting all three of the Chip Enable inputs (E1, E2, and E3). Deassertion of any one of the Enable
inputs will deactivate the device.
Read operation is initiated when the following conditions are satisfied at the rising edge of clock: CKE is asserted low, all three
chip enables (E1, E2, and E3) are active, the write enable input signals W is deasserted high, and ADV is asserted low. The address
presented to the address inputs is latched into the address register and presented to the memory core and control logic. The control
logic determines that a read access is in progress and allows the requested data to propagate to the input of the output register. At
the next rising edge of clock the read data is allowed to propagate through the output register and onto the output pins.
Write operation occurs when the RAM is selected, CKE is active, and the Write input is sampled low at the rising edge of clock.
The Byte Write Enable inputs (BA, BB, BC, and BD) determine which bytes will be written. All or none may be activated. A write
cycle with no Byte Write inputs active is a no-op cycle. The pipelined NBT SRAM provides double late write functionality,
matching the write command versus data pipeline length (2 cycles) to the read command versus data pipeline length (2 cycles). At
the first rising edge of clock, Enable, Write, Byte Write(s), and Address are registered. The Data In associated with that address is
required at the third rising edge of clock.
Flow Through Mode Read and Write Operations
Operation of the RAM in Flow Through mode is very similar to operations in Pipeline mode. Activation of a Read Cycle and the
use of the Burst Address Counter is identical. In Flow Through mode the device may begin driving out new data immediately after
new address are clocked into the RAM, rather than holding new data until the following (second) clock edge. Therefore, in Flow
Through mode the read pipeline is one cycle shorter than in Pipeline mode.
Write operations are initiated in the same way, but differ in that the write pipeline is one cycle shorter as well, preserving the ability
to turn the bus from reads to writes without inserting any dead cycles. While the pipelined NBT RAMs implement a double late
write protocol in Flow Through mode a single late write protocol mode is observed. Therefore, in Flow Through mode, address
and control are registered on the first rising edge of clock and data in is required at the data input pins at the second rising edge of
clock.

Burst Cycles
Although NBT RAMs are designed to sustain 100% bus bandwidth by eliminating turnaround cycle when there is transition from
read to write, multiple back-to-back reads or writes may also be performed. NBT SRAMs provide an on-chip burst address
generator that can be utilized, if desired, to further simplify burst read or write implementations. The ADV control pin, when
driven high, commands the SRAM to advance the internal address counter and use the counter generated address to read or write
the SRAM. The starting address for the first cycle in a burst cycle series is loaded into the SRAM by driving the ADV pin low, into
Load mode.
Burst Order
The burst address counter wraps around to its initial state after four addresses (the loaded address and three more) have been
accessed. The burst sequence is determined by the state of the Linear Burst Order pin (LBO). When this pin is Low, a linear burst
sequence is selected. When the RAM is installed with the LBO pin tied high, Interleaved burst sequence is selected. See the tables
below for details.

deactivates the 9th I/O of each byte, although the bit in each byte of the memory array remains active to store and recall parity bits
generated and read into the ByteSafe parity circuits.

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 ISB2. The duration of

Preliminary
GS8324Z18(B/C)/GS8324Z36(B/C)/GS8324Z72(C)
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, ISB2 is guaranteed after the time tZZI is met. Because ZZ is an asynchronous input, pending
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.

JTAG Port Operation
Due to the fact that this device is built from two die, the two JTAG parts are chained together internally. The following describes
the behavior of each die.
Overview
The JTAG Port on this RAM operates in a manner that is compliant with IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990, a serial boundary scan
interface standard (commonly referred to as JTAG). The JTAG Port input interface levels scale with VDD. The JTAG output
drivers are powered by V
Disabling the JTAG Port
It is possible to use this device without utilizing the JTAG port. The port is reset at power-up and will remain inactive unless
clocked. TCK, TDI, and TMS are designed with internal pull-up circuits.To assure normal operation of the RAM with the JTAG
Port unused, TCK, TDI, and TMS may be left floating or tied to either VDD or VSS. TDO should be left unconnected.

controller state machine. An undriven TMS input will produce the same result as a logic one input
level.
The TDI input is sampled on the rising edge of TCK. This is the input side of the serial registers
placed between TDI and TDO. The register placed between TDI and TDO is determined by the
state of the TAP Controller state machine and the instruction that is currently loaded in the TAP
Instruction Register (refer to the TAP Controller State Diagram). An undriven TDI pin will produce
the same result as a logic one input level.
Output that is active depending on the state of the TAP state machine. Output changes in
response to the falling edge of TCK. This is the output side of the serial registers placed between
TDI and TDO.
JTAG Port Registers
Overview
The various JTAG registers, refered to as Test Access Port orTAP Registers, are selected (one at a time) via the sequences of 1s
and 0s applied to TMS as TCK is strobed. Each of the TAP Registers is a serial shift register that captures serial input data on the
rising edge of TCK and pushes serial data out on the next falling edge of TCK. When a register is selected, it is placed between the
TDI and TDO pins.
Instruction Register
The Instruction Register holds the instructions that are executed by the TAP controller when it is moved into the Run, Test/Idle, or
the various data register states. Instructions are 3 bits long. The Instruction Register can be loaded when it is placed between the
TDI and TDO pins. The Instruction Register is automatically preloaded with the IDCODE instruction at power-up or whenever the
controller is placed in Test-Logic-Reset state.

Bypass Register
The Bypass Register is a single bit register that can be placed between TDI and TDO. It allows serial test data to be passed through
the RAM’s JTAG Port to another device in the scan chain with as little delay as possible.
Boundary Scan Register
The Boundary Scan Register is a collection of flip flops that can be preset by the logic level found on the RAM’s input or I/O pins.
The flip flops are then daisy chained together so the levels found can be shifted serially out of the JTAG Port’s TDO pin. The
Boundary Scan Register also includes a number of place holder flip flops (always set to a logic 1). The relationship between the
device pins and the bits in the Boundary Scan Register is described in the Scan Order Table following. The Boundary Scan
Register, under the control of the TAP Controller, is loaded with the contents of the RAMs I/O ring when the controller is in
Capture-DR state and then is placed between the TDI and TDO pins when the controller is moved to Shift-DR state. SAMPLE-Z,
SAMPLE/PRELOAD and EXTEST instructions can be used to activate the Boundary Scan Register.

Identification (ID) Register
The ID Register is a 32-bit register that is loaded with a device and vendor specific 32-bit code when the controller is put in
Capture-DR state with the IDCODE command loaded in the Instruction Register. The code is loaded from a 32-bit on-chip ROM.
It describes various attributes of the RAM as indicated below. The register is then placed between the TDI and TDO pins when the
controller is moved into Shift-DR state. Bit 0 in the register is the LSB and the first to reach TDO when shifting begins.
There are two classes of instructions defined in the Standard 1149.1-1990; the standard (Public) instructions, and device specific
(Private) instructions. Some Public instructions are mandatory for 1149.1 compliance. Optional Public instructions must be
implemented in prescribed ways. The TAP on this device may be used to monitor all input and I/O pads, and can be used to load
address, data or control signals into the RAM or to preload the I/O buffers.
When the TAP controller is placed in Capture-IR state the two least significant bits of the instruction register are loaded with 01.
When the controller is moved to the Shift-IR state the Instruction Register is placed between TDI and TDO. In this state the desired
instruction is serially loaded through the TDI input (while the previous contents are shifted out at TDO). For all instructions, the
TAP executes newly loaded instructions only when the controller is moved to Update-IR state. The TAP instruction set for this
device is listed in the following table.

Instruction Descriptions
BYPASS
When the BYPASS instruction is loaded in the Instruction Register the Bypass Register is placed between TDI and TDO. This occurs when
the TAP controller is moved to the Shift-DR state. This allows the board level scan path to be shortened to facilitate testing of other devices
in the scan path.
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
SAMPLE/PRELOAD is a Standard 1149.1 mandatory public instruction. When the SAMPLE / PRELOAD instruction is loaded in the Instruction Register, moving the TAP controller into the Capture-DR state loads the data in the RAMs input and I/O buffers into the Boundary Scan
Register. Boundary Scan Register locations are not associated with an input or I/O pin, and are loaded with the default state identified in the
Boundary Scan Chain table at the end of this section of the datasheet. Because the RAM clock is independent from the TAP Clock (TCK) it
is possible for the TAP to attempt to capture the I/O ring contents while the input buffers are in transition (i.e. in a metastable state). Although
allowing the TAP to sample metastable inputs will not harm the device, repeatable results cannot be expected. RAM input signals must be
stabilized for long enough to meet the TAPs input data capture set-up plus hold time (tTS plus tTH). The RAMs clock inputs need not be
paused for any other TAP operation except capturing the I/O ring contents into the Boundary Scan Register. Moving the controller to ShiftDR state then places the boundary scan register between the TDI and TDO pins.
EXTEST
EXTEST is an IEEE 1149.1 mandatory public instruction. It is to be executed whenever the instruction register is loaded with all logic 0s.
Specifications cited are subject to change without notice. For latest documentation see http://www.gsitechnology.com.

GS8324Z18(B/C)/GS8324Z36(B/C)/GS8324Z72(C)
The EXTEST command does not block or override the RAM’s input pins; therefore, the RAM’s internal state is still determined by its input
pins.
Typically, the Boundary Scan Register is loaded with the desired pattern of data with the SAMPLE/PRELOAD command. Then the EXTEST
command is used to output the Boundary Scan Register’s contents, in parallel, on the RAM’s data output drivers on the falling edge of TCK
when the controller is in the Update-IR state.
Alternately, the Boundary Scan Register may be loaded in parallel using the EXTEST command. When the EXTEST instruction is selected,
the sate of all the RAM’s input and I/O pins, as well as the default values at Scan Register locations not associated with a pin, are transferred in parallel into the Boundary Scan Register on the rising edge of TCK in the Capture-DR state, the RAM’s output pins drive out the
value of the Boundary Scan Register location with which each output pin is associated.
IDCODE
The IDCODE instruction causes the ID ROM to be loaded into the ID register when the controller is in Capture-DR mode and places the ID
register between the TDI and TDO pins in Shift-DR mode. The IDCODE instruction is the default instruction loaded in at power up and any
time the controller is placed in the Test-Logic-Reset state.
SAMPLE-Z
If the SAMPLE-Z instruction is loaded in the instruction register, all RAM outputs are forced to an inactive drive state (high-Z) and the
Boundary Scan Register is connected between TDI and TDO when the TAP controller is moved to the Shift-DR state.
RFU
These instructions are Reserved for Future Use. In this device they replicate the BYPASS instruction.
