The VG4632321A SGRAM is a high-speed CMOS synchronous graphic RAM containing 32M bits. It is
internally configured as a dual 512K x 32 DRAM with a synchronous interface (all signals are registered on
the positive edge of the clock signal, CLK). Each of the 512K x 32 bit bank is organized as 2048 rows by 256
columns by 32 bits. Read and write accesses to the SGRAM are burst oriented; accesses start at a selected
location and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence. Accesses begin
with the registration of a BankActivate command which is then followed by a Read or Write command.
The VG4632321A provides for programmable Read or Write burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, 8, or full page, with
burst termination option. An Auto Precharge function may be enabled to provide a self-timed row precharge
that is initiated at the end of the burst sequence. The refresh functions, either Auto or Self Refresh are easy
to use. In addition, it features the write per bit and the masked block write functions.
By having a programmable Mode register and special mode register, the system can choose the best
suitable modes to maximize its performance. These devices are well suited for applications requiring high
memory bandwidth, and when combined with special graphics functions result in a device particularly well
suited to high performance graphics applications.

Operation Mode
Fully synchronous operations are performed to latch the commands at the positive edges of CLK. Table 2
(RAS = ”L”, CAS = ”H”, WE = ”H”, DSF = ”L”, BS = Bank, A0-A10 = Row Address)
The BankActivate command activates the idle bank designated by the BS (Bank Select) signal. By
latching the row address on A0 to A10 at the time of this command, the selected row access is initiated.
The read or write operation in the same bank can occur after a time delay of t
bank activation. A subsequent BankActivate command to a different row in the same bank can only be
issued after the previous active row has been precharged (refer to the following figure). The minimum
time interval between successive BankActivate commands to the same bank is defined by tRC(min.).
The SGRAM has two internal banks on the same chip and shares part of the internal circuitry to reduce
chip area, therefore it restricts the back-to-back activation of both banks. t
minimum time required between activating different banks. After this command is used, the Write
command and the Block Write command perform the no mask write operation.

(RAS = ”L”, CAS = ”H”, WE = ”H”, DSF = ”H”, BS = Bank, A0-A10 = Row Address)
The BankActivate command activates the idle bank designated by BS signal. After this command is
performed, the Write command and the Block Write command perform the masked write operation. In
the masked write and the masked block write functions, the I/O mask data that was stored in the write
mask register is used.
3 BankPrecharge command
(RAS = ”L”, CAS = ”H”, WE = ”L”, DSF = ”L”, BS = Bank, A8 = ”L”, A0-A7,A9,A10 = Don’t care)
The BankPrecharge command precharges the bank designated by BS signal. The precharged
bank is switched from the active state to the idle state. This command can be asserted anytime after
t

the active state, the PrechargeAll command can be issued. Both banks are then switched to the idle
state.

During read bursts, the valid data-out element from the starting column address will be available
following the CAS latency after the issue of Read command. Each subsequent data-out element will
be valid by the next positive clock edge (refer to the following figure). The DQs goes into
high-impedance at the end of the burst, unless other command was initiated. The burst length, burst
sequence, and CAS latency are determined by the mode register which is already prgrammed.A
full-page burst will continue until terminated (at the end of the page it will wrap to column 0 and continue).

The Read command is used to read burst of data on consecutive clock cycles from an active row
The read data appears on the DQs subjects to the values on the DQM inputs two clocks early (i.e.
DQM latency is two clocks for output buffers). A read burst without auto precharge function may be
interrupted by a subsequent Read or Write/Block Write command to the same bank or the other
active bank before the end of burst length. It may be interrupted by a BankPrecharge/PrechargeAll
command to the same bank too. The interrupt comes from Read command can occur on any clock

The DQM inputs are used to avoid I/O contention on DQ pins when the interrupt comes from
Write/Block Write command. The DQMs must be asserted (High) at least two clocks prior to the
Write/Block Write command to suppress data-out on DQ pins. To guarantee DQ pins against the I/O
contention, a single cycle with high-impedance on DQ pins must occur between the last read data
and the Write/Block Write command (refer to the following three figures). If the data output of burst
read occurs at the second clock of burst write, the DQMs must be asserted (High) at least one clock
prior to the Write/Block Write command to avoid internal bus contention.

(RAS = ”H”, CAS = ”L”, WE = ”H”, DSF = ”L”, BS = Bank, A8 = ”H”, A0-A7 = Column Address, A9,A10 = Don’t

The Read and AutoPrecharge command automatically performs the precharge operation after the read
operation. Once this command is given, any subsequent command can not occur within a time delay of
{tRP(min.) + burst length}. At full-page burst, only read operation is performed in this command and the auto
precharge function is ignored.

(RAS = ”H”, CAS = ”L”, WE = ”L”, DSF = “L”, BS = Bank, A8 = ”L”, A0-A7 = Column Address, A9,A10 = Don’t

The Write command is used to write burst of data on consecutive clock cycles from an active row in an
active bank. The bank must be active for at least t
(min.) before Write command is issued. During write
RCD
bursts, the first valid data-in element will be registered coincident with the Write command. Subsequent data
elements will be registered on each successive positive clock edge (refer to the following figure). The DQs
remains high-impedance at the end of the burst, unless other command was initiated. The burst length and
burst sequence are determined by the mode register which is already programmed. A full-page burst will continue until terminated (at the end of the page it will wrap to column 0 and continue).

basis, and the Mask register, which masks on a per-bit basis. This is shown in the following block diagram.

When Burst-Read and Single-Write mode is selected , the write burst length is 1 regardless of the
read burst length (refer to Figures 21 and 22 in Timing Waveforms).
The block writes are non-burst accesses that write to eight column locations simultaneously. A single
data value, which was previously loaded in the Color register, is written to the block of eight consecutive
column locations addressed by inputs A3-A7. The information on the DQs which is registered coincident with
the Block Write command is used to mask specific column/byte combinations within the block . The mapping
of the DQ inputs to the column/byte combinations is shown in following table.
The overall Block Write mask consists of a combination of the DQM inputs, the Mask register,
and the column/byte mask information, as shown in the following diagram. The DQM and Mask register masking operates as for normal Write command, with the exception that the mask information
is applied simultaneously to all eight columns. Therefore, in a Block Write, a given bit is written only if
a ”0” was registered for the corresponding DQM input, a ”1” was registered for the corresponding DQ
signal, and the corresponding bit in the Mask register is ”1”.

The Write and AutoPrecharge command performs the precharge operation automatically after
the write operation. Once this command is given, any subsequent command can not occur within a
time delay of {burst length + tWR + tRP(min.)}. At full-page burst, only write operation is performed in
this command and the auto precharge function is ignored.

The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of SGRAM. The Mode
Register Set command programs the values of CAS latency. Addressing Mode and Burst Length in the
Mode register to make SGRAM useful for variety of different applications. The default values of the Mode
Register after power-up are undefined, therefore this command must be issued at the power-up
sequence. The state of pins A0-A10 and BS in the same cycle is the data written in the mode register.
One clock cycle is required to complete the write in the mode register (refer to the following figure ). The
mode register contents can be changed using the same command and the clock cycle requirements during operation as long as both banks are in the idle state.

The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality.
• Burst Length Field (A2~A0)
This field specifies the data length of column access using the A2~A0 pins and selects the
Burst Length to be 1, 2, 4, 8, or full page.
• Addressing Mode Select Field (A3)
The Addressing Mode can be one of two modes, Interleave Mode or Sequential Mode.
Sequential Mode supports burst length of 1, 2, 4, 8, or full page. But, lnterleave Mode only supports
burst length of 4 and 8.
A3Addressing Mode
--- Addressing Sequence of Sequential Mode
An internal column address is performed by increasing the address from the column
address which is input to the device. The internal column address is varied by the Burst
Length as shown in the following table. When the value of column address, (n+m), in the
table is larger than 255, only the least significant 8 bits are effective.

This field specifies the number of clock cycles from the assertion of the Read command
to the first read data. The minimum value of CAS Latency depends on the frequency of
CLK. And this value satisfying the following formula must be programmed into this field.

12 Special Mode Register Set command
(RAS = ”L”, CAS = ”L”, WE = ”L”, DSF = ”H”, BS, A0-A10 = Register Data)
The special mode register is used to load the Color and Mask registers, which are used in Block
Write and masked Write cycles. The control information being written to the Special Mode register is
applied to the address inputs and the data to be written to either the Color register or the Mask register is
applied to the DQs. When A6 is “high” during a Special Mode Register Set cycle, the Color register will be
loaded with the data on the DQs. Similarly, when A5 is “high” during a Special Mode Register Set cycle,
the Mask register will be loaded with the data on the DQs. A6 = A5 = 1 in the Special Mode Register Set
cycle is illegal.
FunctionsBSA10~A7A6A5A4~A0

One clock cycle is required to complete the write in the Special Mode register. This command can
be issued at the active state. As in write operation, this command accepts the data needed through DQ
pins. Therefore it should be attended not to induce bus contention.
13 No-Operation command
(RAS = ”H”, CAS = ”H”, WE = ”H”)
The No-Operation command is used to perform a NOP to SGRAM which is selected (CS is Low).
This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states.
14 Burst Stop command
(RAS = ”H”, CAS = ”H”, WE = ”L’, DSF = ”L”)
Burst Stop command is used to terminate either fixed-length or full-page bursts. This command is
only effective in a read/write burst without auto precharge function. The terminated read burst ends after
a delay equal to the CAS latency (refer to the following figure). The termination of a write burst is shown
in the following figure.

15 Device Deselect command
(CS = ”H”)
The Device Deselect command disables the command decoder so that the RAS, CAS, WE
and Address inputs are ignored, regardless of whether the CLK is enabled. This command is
similar to the No Operation command.
16 AutoRefresh command (refer to Figures 3 & 4 in Timing Waveforms)
(RAS = ”L”, CAS = ”L”, WE = ”H”, DSF = ”L”, CKE = ”H”, BS, A0-A10 = Don’t care)
The AutoRefresh command is used during normal operation of the SGRAM and is
analagous to CAS-before-RAS(CBR) Refresh in conventional DRAMs. This command is
non-persistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The addressing is generated
by the internal refresh controller. This makes the address bits a “don’t care” during an
AutoRefresh command. The internal refresh counter increments automatically on every auto
refresh cycle to all of the rows. The refresh operation must be performed 2048 times within
32ms. The time required to complete the auto refresh operation is specified by tRP(min.). To
provide the AutoRefresh command, both banks need to be in the idle state and the device is not
in power down mode (CKE is high in the previous cycle). This command must be followed by
NOPs until the auto refresh operations is completed. The precharge time requirement, tRP(min.)
must be met befor successive auto refresh operations are performed.
17 SelfRefresh Entry command (refer to Figure 5 in Timing Waveforms)
(RAS = ”L”, CAS = ”L”, WE = ”H”, DSF = ”L”, CKE = ”L”, BS, A0-A10 = Don’t care)
The SelfRefresh is another refresh mode available in the SGRAM. It is the preferred refresh
mode for data retention and low power operation. Once the SelfRefresh command is registered,
all the inputs to the SGRAM becomes “don’t care” with the exception of CKE, which must remain
LOW. The refresh addressing and timing is internally generated to reduce power comsumption.
The SGRAM may remain in SelfRefresh mode for an indefinite period. Once the SGRAM enters
the SelfRefresh mode , t
(min.) is required before exit from SelfRefresh mode. The
RAS
SelfRefresh mode is exited by restarting the external clock and then asserting high on CKE(SelfRefresh Exit command).

18 SelfRefresh Exit command (refer to Figure 5 in Timing Waveforms)
(CKE = ”H”, CS = ”H” or CKE = ”H”, RAS = ”H”, CAS = ”H”, WE = ”H”)
NOP or Device Deselect commands must be issued for tRC(min), because time is required for the
completion of any bank currently being internally refreshed. If auto refresh cycles in bursts are performed during normal operation, a burst of 1024 auto refresh cycles should be completed just prior to
entering, and just after exiting the SelfRefresh mode.

Waveforms)

sequent cycle by issuing this command (asserting CKE ”low”). The device operation is held intact
while CLK is suspended. On the other hand, when both banks are in the idle state, this command performs entry into the PowerDown mode. All input and output buffers (except the CKE buffer) are turned
off in the PowerDown mode. The device may not remain in the Clock Suspend or PowerDown state
longer than the refresh period (16ms) since the command does not perform any refresh operations.

21 Data Write/Output Enable, Data Mask/Output Disable command
(DQM = ”L”, ”H”)
During a write cycle, the DQM signal functions as Data Mask and can control every word of the
input data. During a read cycle, the DQM functions as the control of output buffers. DQM is also used
for device selection, byte selection and bus control in a memory system. DQM0 controls DQ0 to DQ7,
DQM1 controls DQ8 to DQ15, DQM2 controls DQ16 to DQ23, DQM3 controls DQ24 to DQ31, DQM
masks the DQ’s by a byte regardless that the corresponding DQ’s are in a state of write-per-bit masking or pixel masking. the byte control. The each DQM0-3 corresponds to DQ0-7, DQ8-15, DQ16-23,
DQ24-31.
