DESCRIPTION
The ISSI IS41C16257 and the IS41LV16257 are 262,144
x 16-bit high-performance CMOS Dynamic Random Access
Memories. Fast Page Mode allows 512 random accesses
within a single row with access cycle time as short as 12 ns
per 16-bit word. The Byte Write control, of upper and lower
byte, makes these devices ideal for use in 16- and 32-bit
wide data bus systems.
These features make the IS41C16257 and the IS41LV16257
ideally suited for high band-width graphics, digital signal
processing, high-performance computing systems, and
peripheral applications.
The IS41C16257 and the IS41LV16257 are packaged in a
40-pin, 400-mil SOJ and TSOP (Type II).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

ISSI
The IS41C16257 and the IS41LV16257 are CMOS DRAMs
optimized for high-speed bandwidth, low-power applications.
During READ or WRITE cycles, each bit is uniquely
addressed through the 18 address bits. These are entered
nine bits (A0-A8) at a time. The row address is latched by
the Row Address Strobe (
latched by the Column Address Strobe (

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
