routed internally to fire the output registers instead. Each Burst
of 2 SigmaSIO-II SRAM also supplies Echo Clock outputs,
CQ and CQ, which are synchronized with read data output.
When used in a source synchronous clocking scheme, the Echo
Clock outputs can be used to fire input registers at the data’s
destination.
Because Separate I/O Burst of 2 RAMs always transfer data in
two packets, A0 is internally set to 0 for the first read or write
transfer, and automatically incremented by 1 for the next
transfer. Because the LSB is tied off internally, the address
field of a Burst of 2 RAM is always one address pin less than
the advertised index depth (e.g., the 1M x 18 has a 512K
addressable index).
SigmaRAM™ Family Overview
GS8182S18 are built in compliance with the SigmaSIO-II
SRAM pinout standard for Separate I/O synchronous SRAMs.
They are 18,874,368-bit (18Mb) SRAMs. These are the first in
a family of wide, very low voltage HSTL I/O SRAMs designed
to operate at the speeds needed to implement economical high
performance networking systems.
Clocking and Addressing Schemes
A Burst of 2 SigmaSIO-II SRAM is a synchronous device. It
employs dual input register clock inputs, K and K. The device
also allows the user to manipulate the output register clock
input quasi independently with dual output register clock
inputs, C and C. If the C clocks are tied high, the K clocks are

Background
Separate I/O SRAMs, like SigmaQuad SRAMs, are attractive in applications where alternating reads and writes are needed. On the
other hand, Common I/O SRAMs like the SigmaCIO family are popular in applications where bursts of read or write traffic are
needed. The SigmaSIO SRAM is a hybrid of these two devices. Like the SigmaQuad family devices, the SigmaSIO features a
separate I/O data path, offering the user independent Data In and Data Out pins. However, the SigmaSIO devices offer a control
protocol like that offered on the SigmaCIO devices. Therefore, while SigmaQuad SRAMs allow a user to operate both data ports at
the same time, they force alternating loads of read and write addresses. SigmaSIO SRAMs allow continuous loads of read or write
addresses like SigmaCIO SRAMs, but in a separate I/O configuration.

GS8182S18D-200/167
Like a SigmaQuad SRAM, a SigmaSIO-II SRAM can execute an alternating sequence of reads and writes. However, doing so
results in the Data In port and the Data Out port stalling with nothing to do on alternate transfers. A SigmaQuad device would keep
both ports running at capacity full time. On the other hand, the SigmaSIO device can accept a continuous stream of read commands
and read data or a continuous stream of write commands and write data. The SigmaQuad device, by contrast, restricts the user from
loading a continuous stream of read or write addresses. The advantage of the SigmaSIO device is that it allows twice the random
address bandwidth for either reads or writes than could be acheived with a SigmaQuad version of the device. SigmaCIO SRAMs
offer this same advantage, but do not have the separate Data In and Data Out pins offered on the SigmaSIO SRAMs. Therefore,
SigmaSIO devices are useful in psuedo dual port SRAM applications where communication of burst traffic between two
electrically independent busses is desired.
Each of the three SigmaQuad Family SRAMs—SigmaQuad, SigmaCIO, and SigmaSIO—supports similar address rates because
random address rate is determined by the internal performance of the RAM. In addition, all three SigmaQuad Family SRAMs are
based on the same internal circuits. Differences between the truth tables of the different devices proceed from differences in how
the RAM’s interface is contrived to interact with the rest of the system. Each mode of operation has its own advantages and
disadvantages. The user should consider the nature of the work to be done by the RAM to evaluate which version is best suited to
the application at hand.
Burst of 2 SigmaSIO-II SRAM DDR Read
The status of the Address Input, R/W, and LD pins are sampled at each rising edge of K. LD high causes chip disable. A high on
the R/W pin begins a read cycle. Data can be clocked out after the next rising edge of K with a rising edge of C (or by K if C and C
are tied high), and after the following rising edge of K with a rising edge of C (or by K if C and C are tied high).
