Functional Description
Applications
The GS880E18/32/36T is a 9,437,184-bit (8,388,608-bit for
x32 version) high performance synchronous SRAM with a 2bit 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.
Controls
Addresses, data I/Os, chip enables (E1, E2, E3), address burst
control inputs (ADSP, ADSC, ADV) and write control inputs
(Bx, BW, GW) are synchronous and are controlled by a
positive-edge-triggered clock input (CK). Output enable (G)
and power down control (ZZ) are asynchronous inputs. Burst
cycles can be initiated 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
100 MHz–66 MHz
3.3 V V
DD
3.3 V and 2.5 V I/O
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 pin (Pin 14). 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 risingedge-triggered Data Output Register.
DCD Pipelined Reads
The GS880E18/32/36T 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). In addition, Global Write (GW) is available for
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 GS880E18/32/36T operates on a 3.3 V power supply, and
all inputs/outputs are 3.3 V- and 2.5 V-compatible. Separate
output power (V

Note:
There are pull-up devices on the LBO and FT pins and a pull down device on the ZZ pin, so those input pins can be unconnected and the chip will

2.For x36 Version, E = T (True) if E2 = 1 and E3 = 0; E = F (False) if E2 = 0 or E3 = 1.
3.W = T (True) and F (False) is defined in the Byte Write Truth Table preceding.
4.G is an asynchronous input. G can be driven high at any time to disable active output drivers. G low can only enable active drivers (shown
as “Q” in the Truth Table above).
5.All input combinations shown above are tested and supported. Input combinations shown in gray boxes need not be used to accomplish
basic synchronous or synchronous burst operations and may be avoided for simplicity.
6.Tying ADSP high and ADSC low allows simple non-burst synchronous operations. See BOLD items above.
7.Tying ADSP high and ADV low while using ADSC to load new addresses allows simple burst operations. See ITALIC items above.
