HSTL I/O
Because GS815018/36A are synchronous devices, address data
inputs and read/write control inputs are captured on the rising
edge of the input clock. Write cycles are internally self-timed
and initiated by the rising edge of the clock input. This feature
eliminates complex off-chip write pulse generation required by
asynchronous SRAMs and simplifies input signal timing.
GS815018/36A support pipelined reads utilizing a rising-edge-
triggered output register. They also utilize a Dual Cycle
Deselect (DCD) output deselect protocol.
GS815018/36A are implemented with high performance
technology and are packaged in a 119-bump BGA.
Family Overview
GS815018/36A are 18,874,368-bit (18Mb) high performance
SRAMs. This family of wide, low voltage HSTL I/O SRAMs
is designed to operate at the speeds needed to implement
economical high performance cache systems.
Mode Control
There are two mode control select pins (M1 and M2), which
allow the user to set the correct read protocol for the design.
The GS815018/36A support single clock Pipeline mode, which
directly affects the two mode control select pins. In order for
the part to fuction correctly, and as specified, M1 must be tied
to VSS and M2 must be tied to V
DD
or V
DDQ
. This must be set
at power-up and should not be changed during operation.
Sleep Mode
Low power (Sleep mode) is attained through the assertion (High)
of the ZZ signal, or by stopping the clock (CK). Memory data is
retained during Sleep mode.

Read Operations
Pipelined Read
A read cycle begins when the RAM captures logic 0 on SS and logic 1 on SW at the rising edge of K (and the falling edge of K).
Address inputs captured on that clock edge are propigated into the RAM, which delivers data to the input of the output registers.
The second rising edge of K fires the output registers and releases read data to the output drivers. If G is held active low, the
drivers drive the data onto the output pins. Read data is sustained on the output pins as long as G is held low or until the next rising
edge of K, at which point the outputs may update to new data or deselect, depending on what control command was registered at
the second rising edge of K.
Dual Cycle Deselect
Chip deselect (SS = logic 1) is pipelined to the same degree as read data. Therefore, a deselect command entered on the rising edge
of K is acted upon in response to the next rising edge of K.

Write Operations
Write operations are initiated when the write enable input signal (SW) and chip select (SS) are captured at logic 0 on a rising edge
of the K clock (and falling edge of the K clock).
Late Write
In Late Write mode the RAM requires Data In one rising clock edge later than the edge used to load Address and Control. Late
Write protocol has been employed on SRAMs designed for RISC processor L2 cache applications and in Flow Through mode NBT
SRAMs.
Byte Write Control
The Byte Write Enable inputs (Bx) determine which bytes will be written. Any combination of Byte Write Enable control pins,
including all or none, may be activated. A Write Cycle with no Byte Write inputs active is a write abort cycle. Byte write control
inputs are captured by the same clock edge used to capture SW.
