Notes: 1. A start-up delay of 200 µs is required after power-up, followed by a minimum of eight
initialization cycles (RAS-only refresh or CAS before RAS refresh) before proper device
operation is achieved.
2. The AC characteristics assume tT = 5 ns.
3. VIH (Min.) and VIL (Max.) are reference levels for measuring input timing signals.
Transition times (tT) are measured between VIH and VIL.
4. This parameter is measured with a load circuit equivalent to 2 TTL loads and 100 pF.
5. Operation within the t
RCD
(Max.) limit ensures that t
RAC
(Max.) can be met.
t
RCD
(Max.) is specified as a reference point only. If t
RCD
is greater than the specified
t
RCD
(Max.) limit, then the access time is controlled by t
CAC
.
6. Operation within the t
RAD
(Max.) limit ensures that t
RAC
(Max.) can be met.
t
RAD
(Max.) is specified as a reference point only. If t
RAD
is greater than the specified
t
RAD
(Max.) limit, then the access time is controlled by tAA.
7. t
OFF
(Max.) and t
OEZ
(Max.) define the time at which the output achieves the open
circuit condition and are not referenced to output voltage levels.
8. t
RCH
or t
RRH
must be satisfied for a read cycle.
9. t
WCS
, t
CWD
, t
RWD
, t
AWD
and t
CPWD
are not restrictive operating parameters. They are
included in the data sheet as electrical characteristics only. If t
WCS
≥ t
WCS
(Min.), then
the cycle is an early write cycle and the data out will remain open circuit (high
impedance) throughout the entire cycle. If t
CWD
≥ t
CWD
(Min.) , t
RWD
≥ t
RWD
(Min.),
t
AWD
≥ t
AWD
(Min.) and t
CPWD
≥ t
CPWD
(Min.), then the cycle is a read modify write
cycle and data out will contain data read from the selected cell; if neither of the above
sets of conditions is satisfied, then the condition of the data out (at access time) is
indeterminate.
10. These parameters are referenced to the CAS leading edge in an early write cycle, and
to the WE leading edge in an OE control write cycle, or a read modify write cycle.
11. The test mode is initiated by performing a WE and CAS before RAS refresh cycle.
This mode is latched and remains in effect until the exit cycle is generated. In a test mode
CA0 and CA1 are not used and each DQ pin now accesses 4-bit locations. Since all 4 DQ
pins are used, a total of 16 data bits can be written in parallel into the memory array.
In a read cycle, if 4 data bits are equal, the DQ pin will indicate a high level. If the 4 data
bits are not equal, the DQ pin will indicate a low level. The test mode is cleared and the
memory device returned to its normal operating state by performing a RAS-only
refresh cycle or a CAS before RAS refresh cycle.
12. In a test mode read cycle, the value of access time parameters is delayed for 5 ns for the
specified value. These parameters should be specified in test mode cycle by adding the
above value to the specified value in this data sheet.
