The M68AR512D is an 8 Mbit (8,388,608 bit)
CMOS SRAM, organized as 524,288 words by 16
bits. The device features fully static operation requiring no external clocks or timing strobes, with
equal address access and cycle times. It requires
a single 1.8V (
±150mV) supply. This device has a
Chip Select pin (E2) for easy memory ex pansion;
matic power-down feature, reducing the power
consumption by over 99%.
The M68AR512D is available in TFBGA48
(6x7mm and 8x10mm, 6x8 active ball array, 0.75
mm ball pitch) package. See the Ordering Information Scheme (Table 12) for details.

OPERATION
The M68AR512D has a Chip Enable power down
feature which invokes an automatic standby mode
whenever Chip Enable is de-asserted (E1
or Chip Select is asserted (E2 = Low), or UB
are de-asserted (UB/LB = High). An Output Enable (G
) signal provides a high speed tri-state con-
