The ISSI IS41C16128 is a 131,072 x 16-bit high-performance
CMOS Dynamic Random Access Memory. The IS41C16128
offers an accelerated cycle access called EDO Page Mode.
EDO Page Mode allows 256 random accesses within a
single row with access cycle time as short as 12 ns per 16bit word. The Byte Write control, of upper and lower byte,
makes the IS41C16128 ideal for use in 16-, 32-bit wide data
bus systems.
These features make the IS41C16128 ideally suited for
high band-width graphics, digital signal processing,
high-performance computing systems, and peripheral
applications.
The IS41C16128 is packaged in a 40-pin 400-mil SOJ and
TSOP (Type II).

Functional Description
The IS41C16128 is a CMOS DRAM optimized for highspeed bandwidth, low power applications. During READ
or WRITE cycles, each bit is uniquely addressed through
the 17 address bits. The row address is latched by the
Row Address Strobe (
latched by the Column Address Strobe (
used to latch the first nine bits and
latter nine bits.

Refresh Cycle
To retain data, 512 refresh cycles are required in each
8 ms period. There are two ways to refresh the memory.
1. By clocking each of the 512 row addresses (A0 through
A8) with

A read cycle is initiated by the falling edge of

For this reason, the valid data output time in EDO page
mode is extended compared with the fast page mode. In
the fast page mode, the valid data output time becomes
shorter as the

is larger than that of the fast page mode even if the
cycle time becomes shorter.
In EDO page mode, due to the extended data function, the

if the timing margin is the same.

Power-On
After application of the VCC supply, an initial pause of
200 µs is required followed by a minimum of eight initial-
ization cycles (any combination of cycles containing a

signal).
During power-on, it is recommended that
