GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 64Mb SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic ran-
dom-access memory containing 67,108,864 bits. It is internally
configured as a quad-bank DRAM with a synchronous inter-
face (all signals are registered on the positive edge of the clock
signal, CLK). Each of the x16’s 6,777,216-bit banks is organized
as 4,096 rows by 256 columns by 16 bits.
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst oriented;
accesses start at a selected location and continue for a pro-
grammed number of locations in a programmed sequence. Ac-
cesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE command,
which is then followed by a READ or WRITE command. The
address bits registered coincident with the ACTIVE command
are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0, BA1
select the bank; A0-A11 select the row). The address bits
registered coincident with the READ or WRITE command are
used to select the starting column location for the burst access.
The SDRAM provides for programmable READ or WRITE
burst lengths of 1, 2, 4 or 8 locations, or the full page, with a
burst terminate option. An AUTO PRECHARGE function may
be enabled to provide a self-timed row precharge that is initi-
ated at the end of the burst sequence.
The 64Mb SDRAM uses an internal pipelined architecture
to achieve high-speed operation. This architecture is compat-
ible with the 2n rule of prefetch architectures, but it also allows
the column address to be changed on every clock cycle to
achieve a high-speed, fully random access. Precharging one
bank while accessing one of the other three banks will hide the
precharge cycles and provide seamless, high-speed, random-
access operation.
The 64Mb SDRAM is designed to operate in 3.3V, low-
power memory systems. An auto refresh mode is provided,
along with a power-saving, power-down mode. All inputs and
outputs are LVTTL-compatible.
SDRAMs offer substantial advances in DRAM operating
performance, including the ability to synchronously burst data
at a high data rate with automatic column-address generation,
the ability to interleave between internal banks in order to hide
precharge time and the capability to randomly change column
addresses on each clock cycle during a burst access.

DESCRIPTION
AS4SD4M16
Input
Clock: CLK is driven by the system clock. All SDRAM input signals are
sampled on the positive edge of CLK. CLK also increments the internal burst
counter and controls the output registers.
37
CKE
Input
Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CLK signal.
Deactivating the clock provides PRECHARGE POWER-DOWN and SELF
REFRESH operations (all banks idle), ACTIVE POWER-DOWN (row ACTIVE
in either bank) or CLOCK SUSPEND operation (burst/access in progress).
CKE is synchronous except after the device enters power-down and self
refresh modes, where CKE becomes asynchronous until after exiting the
same mode. The input buffers, including CLK, are disabled during power-down
and self refresh modes, providing low standby power. CKE may be tied
HIGH.
Chip Select: CS\ enables (registered LOW) and disables (registered HIGH)
the command decoder. All commands are masked when CS\ is registered
HIGH. CS\ provides for external bank selection on systems with multiple
banks. CS\ is considered part of the command code.
Command Inputs: RAS\, CAS\, and WE\ (along with CS\) define the
command being entered.
Input/Output Mask: DQM is an input mask signal for write accesses and an
output enable signal for read accesses. Input data is masked when DQM is
sampled HIGH during a WRITE cycle. The output buffers are placed in a
High-Z state (two-clock latency) when DQM is sampled HIGH during a READ
cycle. DQML corresponds to DQ0-DQ7; DQMH corresponds to DQ8-DQ15.
DQML and DQMH are considered same state when referenced as DQM.
Bank Address Inputs: BA0 and BA1 define to which bank the ACTIVE, READ,
WRITE or PRECHARGE command is being applied.
Address Inputs: A0-A11 are sampled during the ACTIVE command (row
address A0-A11) and READ/WRITE command (column address A0-A7, with
A10 defining AUTO PRECHARGE) to select one location out of the memory
array in the respective bank. A10 is sampled during a PRECHARGE
command to determine if all banks are to be precharged (A10 HIGH) or bank
selected by BA0,BA1 (LOW). The address inputs also provide the op-code
during a LOAD MODE REGISTER command.
