GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Austin Semiconductor, Inc. Zero Bus Latency SRAM
family employs high-speed, low-power CMOS designs using an ad-
vanced CMOS process.
ASI’s 4Mb ZBL SRAMs integrate a 128K x 36 SRAM core
with advanced synchronous peripheral circuitry and a 2-bit burst
counter. These SRAMS are optimized for 100 percent bus utilization,
eliminating any turnaround cycles for READ to WRITE, or WRITE
to READ, transitions. All synchronous inputs pass through registers
controlled by a positive-edge-triggered single clock input (CLK). The
synchronous inputs include all addresses, all data inputs, chip enable
(CE\), two additional chip enables for easy depth expansion (CE2,
CE2\), cycle start input (ADV/LD\), synchronous clock enable (CKE\),
byte write enables (BWa\, BWb\, BWc\, and BWd\) and read/write (R/
W\).
Asynchronous inputs include the output enable (OE\, which
may be tied LOW for control signal minimization), clock (CLK) and
snooze enable (ZZ, which may be tied LOW if unused). There is also
a burst mode pin (MODE) that selects between interleaved and linear
burst modes. MODE may be tied HIGH, LOW or left unconnected if
burst is unused. The flow-through data-out (Q) is enabled by OE\.
WRITE cycles can be from one to four bytes wide as controlled by the
write control inputs.
All READ, WRITE and DESELECT cycles are initiated by
the ADV/LD\ input. Subsequent burst addresses can be internally
generated as controlled by the burst advance pin (ADV/LD\). Use of
burst mode is optional. It is allowable to give an address for each
individual READ and WRITE cycle. BURST cycles wrap around
after the fourth access from a base address.
To allow for continuous, 100 percent use of the data bus,
the flow-through ZBL SRAM uses a LATE WRITE cycle. For ex-
ample, if a WRITE cycle begins in clock cycle one, the address is
present on rising edge one. BYTE WRITEs need to be asserted on the
same cycle as the address. The write data associated with the address
is required one cycle later, or on the rising edge of clock cycle two.
Address and write control are registered on-chip to simplify
WRITE cycles. This allows self-timed WRITE cycles. Individual
byte enables allow individual bytes to be written. During a BYTE
WRITE cycle, BWa\ controls DQa pins; BWb\ controls DQb pins;
BWc\ controls DQc pins; and BWd\ controls DQd pins. Cycle types
can only be defined when an address is loaded, i.e., when ADV/LD\ is
LOW. Parity/ECC bits are available on this device.
Austin’s 4Mb ZBL SRAMs operate from a +3.3V V
DD
power supply, and all inputs and outputs are LVTTL-compatible.
The device is ideally suited for systems requiring high bandwidth and
zero bus turnaround delays.

Synchronous Address Inputs: These inputs are registered and must meet the setup
and hold times around the rising edge of CLK. Pins 83 and 84 are reserved as
address bits for the higher-density 8Mb and 16Mb ZBL SRAMs, respectively. SA0 and
SA1 are the two least significant bits (LSB) of the address field and set the internal
burst counter if burst is desired.
Synchronous Byte Write Enables: These active LOW inputs allow individual bytes to
be written when a WRITE cycle is active and must meet the setup and hold times
around the rising edge of CLK. BYTE WRITEs need to be asserted on the same cycle
as the address. BWa\ controls DQa pins; BWb\ controls DQb pins; BWc\ controls
DQc pins; BWd\ controls DQd pins.
Synchronous Clock Enable: This active LOW input permits CLK to propagate
throughout the device. When CKE is HIGH, the device ignores the CLK input and
effectively internally extends the previous CLK cycle. This input must meet setup and
hold times around the rising edge of CLK.
Read/Write: This input determines the cycle type when ADV/LD\ is LOW and is the
only means for determining READs and WRITEs. READ cycles may not be converted
into WRITEs (and vice versa) other than by loading a new address. A LOW on this pin
permits BYTE WRITE operations and must meet the setup and hold times around the
rising edge of CLK. Full bus-width WRITEs occur if all byte write enables are LOW.

Snooze Enable: This active HIGH, asynchronous input causes the device to enter a
low-power standby mode in which all data in the memory array is retained. When ZZ
is active, all other inputs are ignored.
Clock: This signal registers the address, data, chip enables, byte write enables and
burst control inputs on its rising edge. All synchronous inputs must meet setup and
hold times around the clock's rising edge.
