IC41C4400x and IC41LV4400x Series
4M x 4 (16-MBIT) DYNAMIC RAM
WITH EDO PAGE MODE
FEATURES
• Extended Data-Out (EDO) Page Mode
access cycle
• TTL compatible inputs and outputs
• Refresh Interval:
-- 2,048 cycles/32 ms
-- 4,096 cycles/64 ms
• Refresh Mode: RAS-Only,CAS-before-RAS (CBR), and Hidden
The ICSI 4400 Series is a 4,194,304 x 4-bit high-performance
CMOS Dynamic Random Access Memory. These devices
offer an accelerated cycle access called EDO Page Mode.
EDO Page Mode allows 2,048 or 4096 random accesses within
a single row with access cycle time as short as 20 ns per 4-bit
word.
These features make the 4400 Series ideally suited for highbandwidth graphics, digital signal processing, high-performance
computing systems, and peripheral applications.
The 4400 Series is packaged in a 24-pin 300mil SOJ and a 24
pin TSOP-2

The IC41C4400x and IC41LV4400x are CMOS DRAMs
optimized for high-speed bandwidth, low power
applications. During READ or WRITE cycles, each bit is
uniquely addressed through the 11 or 12 address bits.
These are entered 11 bits (A0-A10) at a time for the 2K
refresh device or 12 bits (A0-A11) at a time for the 4K
refresh device. The row address is latched by the Row
Address Strobe (RAS). The column address is latched by
the Column Address Strobe (CAS). RAS is used to latch
the first nine bits and CAS is used the latter ten bits.
Memory Cycle
A memory cycle is initiated by bring RAS LOW and it is
terminated by returning both RAS and CAS HIGH. To
ensures proper device operation and data integrity any
memory cycle, once initiated, must not be ended or
aborted before the minimum t
cycle must not be initiated until the minimum precharge
time t
RP, tCP has elapsed.
RAS time has expired. A new
Read Cycle
A read cycle is initiated by the falling edge of CAS or OE,
whichever occurs last, while holding WE HIGH. The
column address must be held for a minimum time specified
by tAR. Data Out becomes valid only when tRAC, tAA, tCAC
and tOEA are all satisfied. As a result, the access time is
dependent on the timing relationships between these
parameters.
Write Cycle
A write cycle is initiated by the falling edge of CAS and WE,
whichever occurs last. The input data must be valid at or
before the falling edge of CAS or WE, whichever occurs
last.
Refresh Cycle
To retain data, 2,048 refresh cycles are required in each
32 ms period, or 4,096 refresh cycles are required in each
64ms period. There are two ways to refresh the memory:
1. By clocking each of the 2,048 row addresses (A0
through A10) or 4096 row addresses (A0 through A11)
with RAS at least once every 32 ms or 64ms respectively.
Any read, write, read-modify-write or RAS-only cycle
refreshes the addressed row.
2. Using a CAS-before-RAS refresh cycle. CAS-beforeRAS refresh is activated by the falling edge of RAS,
while holding CAS LOW. In CAS-before-RAS refresh
cycle, an internal 9-bit counter provides the row addresses and the external address inputs are ignored.
CAS-before-RAS is a refresh-only mode and no data
access or device selection is allowed. Thus, the output
remains in the High-Z state during the cycle.
Power-On
After application of the VCC supply, an initial pause of
200 µs is required followed by a minimum of eight initialization cycles (any combination of cycles containing a
RAS signal).
During power-on, it is recommended that RAS track with
VCC or be held at a valid VIH to avoid current surges.

14. tWCS, tRWD, tAWD and tCWD are restrictive operating parameters in LATE WRITE and READ-MODIFY-WRITE cycle only. If tWCS > tWCS
(MIN), the cycle is an EARLY WRITE cycle and the data output will remain open circuit throughout the entire cycle. If tRWD > tRWD
(MIN), tAWD > tAWD (MIN) and tCWD > tCWD (MIN), the cycle is a READ-WRITE cycle and the data output will contain data read from
the selected cell. If neither of the above conditions is met, the state of I/O (at access time and until CAS and RAS or OE go back

15. Output parameter (I/O) is referenced to corresponding CAS input.
16. During a READ cycle, if OE is LOW then taken HIGH before CAS goes HIGH, I/O goes open. If OE is tied permanently LOW, a
LATE WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE is not possible.
17. Write command is defined as WE going low.
18. LATE WRITE and READ-MODIFY-WRITE cycles must have both t
OD and tOEH met (OE HIGH during WRITE cycle) in order to ensure
that the output buffers will be open during the WRITE cycle. The I/Os will provide the previously written data if CAS remains LOW
and OE is taken back to LOW after t
OEH is met.
19. The I/Os are in open during READ cycles once tOD or tOFF occur.
