Functional Description
Applications
The GS88237BB/D-xxxV is a 9,437,184-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.
Controls
Addresses, data I/Os, chip enable (E1), address burst control
ADSP, ADSC, ADV), and write control inputs (Bx, BW,
inputs (
GW) are synchronous and are controlled by a positive-edgetriggered clock input (CK). Output enable (
control (ZZ) are asynchronous inputs. Burst cycles can be initiated
with either
burst addresses are generated internally and are controlled by
ADV. The burst address counter may be configured to count in
ADSP or ADSC inputs. In Burst mode, subsequent

either linear or interleave order with the Linear Burst Order (
input. The Burst function need not be used. New addresses can be
loaded on every cycle with no degradation of chip performance.
SCD and DCD Pipelined Reads
The GS88237BB/D-xxxV is a SCD (Single Cycle Deselect) and
DCD (Dual Cycle Deselect) pipelined synchronous SRAM. DCD
SRAMs pipeline disable commands to the same degree as read
commands. SCD SRAMs pipeline deselect commands one stage
less than read commands. SCD RAMs begin turning off their
outputs immediately after the deselect command has been
captured in the input registers. 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. The user may
configure this SRAM for either mode of operation using the SCD
mode input.
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 (
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
retained during Sleep mode.
Core and Interface Voltages

supply. All inputs are 1.8 V or 2.5 V compatible. Separate output

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

1.X = Don’t Care, H = High, L = Low
2.W = T (True) and F (False) is defined in the Byte Write Truth Table preceding
3.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).
4.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.
5.Tying ADSP high and ADSC low allows simple non-burst synchronous operations. See BOLD items above.
6.Tying ADSP high and ADV low while using ADSC to load new addresses allows simple burst operations. See ITALIC items above.
