DESCRIPTION

FAST PAGE MODE
FAST PAGE MODE operations allow faster data opera-
tions (READ or WRITE) within a row-address-defined
page boundary. The FAST PAGE MODE cycle is always
initiated with a row-address strobed-in by
?
R
?
A
/
S followed
by a column-address strobed-in by
?
C
?
A
/
S.
?
C
?
A
/
S may be
toggled-in by holding
?
R
?
A
/
S LOW and strobing-in different
column-addresses, thus executing faster memory cycles.
Returning
?
R
?
A
/
S HIGH terminates the FAST PAGE MODE
operation.

DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MT36LD872(X) is a randomly accessed 64MB solid-
state memory organized in a x72 configuration. It is spe-
cially processed to operate from 3.0V to 3.6V for low-volt-
age memory systems.
During READ or WRITE cycles, each bit is uniquely
addressed through the 22 address bits, which are entered 11
bits (A0 /B0-A10) at a time. Two copies of address 0 (A0 and
B0) are defined to allow maximum performance for 4-byte
applications which interleave between two 4-byte banks.
A0 is common to the DRAMs used for DQ0-DQ35, while B0
is common to the DRAMs used for DQ36-DQ71.
?
R
?
A
/
S is used
to latch the first 11 bits and
?
C
?
A
/
S the latter 11 bits.
READ and WRITE cycles are selected with the
?
W
/
E input.
A logic HIGH on
?
W
/
E dictates READ mode while a logic
LOW on
?
W
/
E dictates WRITE mode. During a WRITE cycle,
data-in (D) is latched by the falling edge of
?
W
/
E or
?
C
?
A
/
S,
whichever occurs last. An EARLY WRITE occurs when
?
W
/
E is taken LOW prior to
?
C
?
AS falling. A LATE WRITE or
/
READ-MODIFY-WRITE occurs when
?
W
/
E falls after
?
C
?
A
/
S
was taken LOW. During EARLY WRITE cycles, the data-
outputs (Q) will remain High-Z regardless of the state of
?
O
/
E. During LATE WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE cycles,
?
O
/
E must be taken HIGH to disable the data-outputs prior to
applying input data. If a LATE WRITE or READ-MODIFY-
WRITE is attempted while keeping
?
O
/
E LOW, no write will
EDO PAGE MODE
EDO PAGE MODE, designated by the “X” version, is an
accelerated FAST PAGE MODE cycle. The primary advan-
tage of EDO is the availability of data-out even after
?
C
?
A
/
S
goes back HIGH. EDO provides for
?
C
?
A
/
S precharge time
(
t
CP) to occur without the output data going invalid. This
elimination of
?
C
?
A
/
S output control provides for pipeline
READs.
FAST-PAGE-MODE modules have traditionally turned
the output buffers off (High-Z) with the rising edge of
?
C
?
A
/
S. EDO-PAGE-MODE DRAMs operate similar to FAST-
PAGE-MODE DRAMs, except data will remain valid or
become valid after
?
C
?
A
/
S goes HIGH during READs, pro-
vided
?
R
?
A
/
S and
?
O
/
E are held LOW. If
?
O
/
E is pulsed while
?
R
?
A
/
S and
?
C
?
A
/
S are LOW, data will toggle from valid data to
High-Z and back to the same valid data. If
?
O
/
E is toggled or
pulsed after
?
C
?
A
/
S goes HIGH while
?
R
?
A
/
S remains LOW, data
will transition to and remain High-Z.
During an application, if the DQ outputs are wire OR’d,
?
O
/
E must be used to disable idle banks of DRAMs. Alterna-
tively, pulsing
?
W
/
E to the idle banks during
?
C
?
A
/
S HIGH time
will also High-Z the outputs. Independent of
?
O
/
E control,
the outputs will disable after
t
OFF, which is referenced
from the rising edge of
?
R
?
A
/
S or
?
C
?
A
/
S, whichever occurs last
(reference the MT4LC4M4E8 DRAM data sheet for addi-
tional information on EDO functionality).

A
/
S is used to clock-in the 11 row-
address bits. Two
?
R
?
A
/
S inputs allow for one x72 bank or
two x36 banks.
Column-Address Strobe:
?
C
?
A

S is used to clock-in the 10/11
column-address bits, enable the DRAM output buffers
and strobe the data inputs on WRITE cycles.
Write Enable:

W

E is the READ/WRITE control for the DQ
pins.
?
W
/
E
/
0 controls DQ0-DQ35.
?
W
/
E
/
2 controls DQ36-
DQ71. If
?
W
/
E is LOW prior to
?
C
?
A
/
S going LOW, the access
is an EARLY WRITE cycle. If
?
W
/
E is HIGH while
?
C
?
A
/
S is
LOW, the access is a READ cycle, provided
?
O
/
E is also
LOW. If
?
W
/
E goes LOW after
?
C
?
A
/
S goes LOW, then the
cycle is a LATE WRITE cycle. A LATE WRITE cycle is
generally used in conjunction with a READ cycle to form a
READ-MODIFY-WRITE cycle.
Output Enable:
?
O
/
E is the input/output control for the DQ
pins.
?
O
/
E
/
0 controls DQ0-DQ35.
?
O
/
E
/
2 controls DQ36-DQ71.
These signals may be driven, allowing LATE WRITE
cycles.
Address Inputs: These inputs are multiplexed and clocked
by
?
R
?
A
/
S and
?
C
?
A
/
S. A0 is common to the DRAMs used for
DQ0-DQ35 while B0 is common to the DRAMs used for
DQ36-DQ71
Data I/O: For WRITE cycles, DQ0-DQ71 act as inputs to
the addressed DRAM location. For READ access cycles,
DQ0-DQ71 act as outputs for the addressed DRAM
location.
