The GS8672T19/37AE SigmaDDR-II+ ECCRAMs are
synchronous devices. They employ two input register clock
inputs, K and K. K and K are independent single-ended clock
inputs, not differential inputs to a single differential clock input
buffer.
Common I/O x36 and x18 SigmaDDR-II+ B2 RAMs always
transfer data in two packets. When a new address is loaded, A0
presets an internal 1 bit address counter. The counter
increments by 1 (toggles) for each beat of a burst of two data
transfer. Because the LSB is tied off internally, the address
field of a SigmaDDR-II+ B2 RAM is always one address pin
less than the advertised index depth (e.g., the 4M x 18 has a
2M addressable index).
On-Chip Error Correction Code
GSI's ECCRAMs implement an ECC algorithm that detects
and corrects all single-bit memory errors, including those
induced by Soft Error Rate (SER) events such as cosmic rays,
alpha particles etc. The resulting SER of these devices is
anticipated to be <0.002 FITs/Mb — a 5-order-of-magnitude
improvement over comparable SRAMs with no On-Chip ECC,
which typically have an SER of 200 FITs/Mb or more. SER
quoted above is based on reading taken at sea level.
However, the On-Chip Error Correction (ECC) will be
disabled if a “Half Write” operation is initiated. See the
Byte
Write Contol
section for further information.
SigmaDDR™ ECCRAM Overview
The GS8672T19/37AE ECCRAMs are built in compliance
with the SigmaDDR-II+ SRAM pinout standard for Common
I/O synchronous ECCRAMs. They are 75,497,472-bit (72Mb)
ECCRAMs. The GS8672T19/37AE SigmaCIO ECCRAMs are
just one element in a family of low power, low voltage HSTL
I/O ECCRAMs designed to operate at the speeds needed to
implement economical high performance networking systems.

GS8672T19/37AE-400/375/333/300
Background
Common I/O SRAMs, from a system architecture point of view, are attractive in read dominated or block transfer applications.
Therefore, the SigmaDDR-II+ ECCRAM interface and truth table are optimized for burst reads and writes. Common I/O SRAMs
are unpopular in applications where alternating reads and writes are needed because bus turnaround delays can cut high speed
Common I/O ECCRAM data bandwidth in half.
Burst Operations
Read and write operations are "burst" operations. In every case where a read or write command is accepted by the SRAM, it will
respond by issuing or accepting two beats of data, executing a data transfer on subsequent rising edges of K and K, as illustrated in
the timing diagrams. It is not possible to stop a burst once it starts. Two beats of data are always transferred. This means that it is
possible to load new addresses every K clock cycle. Addresses can be loaded less often, if intervening deselect cycles are inserted.
Deselect Cycles
Chip Deselect commands are pipelined to the same degree as read commands. This means that if a deselect command is applied to
the SRAM on the next cycle after a read command captured by the SRAM, the device will complete the two beat read data transfer
and then execute the deselect command, returning the output drivers to high-Z. A high on the LD pin prevents the RAM from
loading read or write command inputs and puts the RAM into deselect mode as soon as it completes all outstanding burst transfer
operations.
SigmaDDR-II+ B2 ECCRAM Read Cycles
The ECCRAM executes pipelined reads. The status of the Address, LD and R/W pins are evaluated on the rising edge of K. The
read command (LD low and R/W high) is clocked into the ECCRAM by a rising edge of K.
SigmaDDR-II+ B2 ECCRAM Write Cycles
The status of the Address, LD and R/W pins are evaluated on the rising edge of K. The ECCRAM executes "late write" data
transfers. Data in is due at the device inputs on the rising edge of K following the rising edge of K clock used to clock in the write
command (LD and R/W low) and the write address. To complete the remaining beat of the burst of two write transfer, the
ECCRAM captures data in on the next rising edge of K, for a total of two transfers per address load.
