GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1 Meg x 16 DRAM is a randomly accessed, solid-
state memory containing 16,777,216 bits organized in
a x16 configuration. The 1 Meg x 16 DRAM has both
BYTE WRITE and WORD WRITE access cycles via two
CAS# pins (CASL# and CASH#). These function identi-
cally to a single CAS# on other DRAMs in that either
CASL# or CASH# will generate an internal CAS#.
The CAS# function and timing are determined by
the first CAS# (CASL# or CASH#) to transition LOW and

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
the last CAS# to transition back HIGH. Use of only one
of the two results in a BYTE access cycle. CASL#
transitioning LOW selects an access cycle for the lower
byte (DQ0-DQ7), and CASH# transitioning LOW se-
lects an access cycle for the upper byte (DQ8-DQ15).
Each bit is uniquely addressed through the 20 ad-
dress bits during READ or WRITE cycles. These are
entered ten bits (A0-A9) at a time. RAS# is used to latch
the first ten bits and CAS# the latter ten bits. The CAS#
function is determined by the first CAS# (CASL# or
CASH#) to transition LOW and the last one to transition
back HIGH. The CAS# function also determines
whether the cycle will be a refresh cycle (RAS#-ONLY)
or an active cycle (READ, WRITE, or READ-WRITE) once
RAS# goes LOW.
The CASL# and CASH# inputs internally generate a
CAS# signal that functions identically to a single CAS#
input on other DRAMs. The key difference is that each
CAS# input (CASL# and CASH#) controls its corre-
sponding DQ tristate logic (in conjunction with OE#
and WE#). CASL# controls DQ0-DQ7 and CASH# con-
trols DQ8-DQ15. The two CAS# controls give the
1 Meg x 16 DRAM BYTE WRITE cycle capabilities.
A logic HIGH on WE# dictates read mode, while a
logic LOW on WE# dictates write mode. During a WRITE
cycle, data-in (D) is latched by the falling edge of WE#
or CAS, whichever occurs last. Taking WE# LOW will
initiate a WRITE cycle, selecting DQ0-DQ15. If WE#
goes LOW prior to CAS# going LOW, the output pin(s)
remain open (High-Z) until the next CAS# cycle. If WE#
goes LOW after CAS# goes LOW and data reaches the
output pins, data-out (Q) is activated and retains the
selected cell data as long as CAS# and OE# remain LOW
(regardless of WE# or RAS#). This late WE# pulse re-
sults in a READ-WRITE cycle.
The 16 data inputs and 16 data outputs are routed
through 16 pins using common I/O. Pin direction is
controlled by OE# and WE#.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
The MT4LC1M16C3 must be refreshed periodically
in order to retain stored data.
and executing anyRAS# cycle (READ, WRITE) or RAS#
REFRESH cycle (RAS# ONLY, CBR or HIDDEN) so that
all 1,024 combinations of RAS# addresses (A0-A9) are
executed at least every 16ms (128ms on the “S” ver-
sion), regardless of sequence. The CBR REFRESH cycle
will also invoke the refresh counter and controller for
row-address control.
FAST PAGE MODE ACCESS
FAST-PAGE-MODE operations allow faster data op-
erations (READ, WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE)
within a row-address-defined (A0-A9) page boundary.
The FAST-PAGE-MODE cycle is always initiated with a
row address strobed in by RAS#, followed by a column
address strobed in by CAS#. Additional columns may
be accessed by providing valid column addresses,
strobing CAS# and holding RAS# LOW, thus executing
faster memory cycles. Returning RAS# HIGH termi-
nates the FAST-PAGE-MODE operation.
Returning RAS# and CAS# HIGH terminates a
memory cycle and decreases chip current to a reduced
standbylevel. The chip is also preconditioned for the
next cycle during the RAS# HIGH time. Memory cell
data is retained in its correct state by maintaining power
BYTE ACCESS CYCLE
The BYTE WRITEs and BYTE READs are determined
by the use of CASL# and CASH#. Enabling CASL# will
select a lower byte access (DQ0-DQ7), while enabling
CASH# will select an upper byte access (DQ0-DQ15).
Enabling both CASL# and CASH# selects a WORD
WRITE cycle.
The 1 Meg x 16 DRAM may be viewed as two 1 Meg x
8 DRAMs that have common input controls, with the
exception of the CAS# inputs. Figure 1 illustrates the
BYTE WRITE and WORD WRITE cycles. Figure 2 illus-
trates BYTE READ and WORD READ cycles.

Additionally, both bytes must always be of the same
mode of operation if both bytes are active. A CAS#
precharge must be satisfied prior to changing modes of
operation between the upper and lower bytes. For ex-
ample, an EARLY WRITE on one byte and a LATE WRITE
on the other byte are not allowed during the same cycle.
However, an EARLY WRITE on one byte and a LATE
WRITE on the other byte, after a CAS# precharge has
been satisfied, are permissible.
the choice of a fully static, low-power data retention
mode or a dynamic refresh mode at the extended re-
fresh period of 128ms, or 125µs per row, when using a
distributed CBR REFRESH. This refresh rate can be
applied during normal operation, as well as during a
standby or battery backup mode.
The self refresh mode is terminated by driving
RAS# HIGH for a minimum time of
t
RPS. This delay
allows for the completion of any internal refresh cycles
that may be in process at the time of the RAS# LOW-
to-HIGH transition. If the DRAM controller uses a dis-
tributed CBR refresh sequence, a burst refresh is not
required upon exiting self refresh. However, if the
DRAM controller utilizes a RAS#-ONLY or burst CBR
refresh sequence, all 1,024 rows must be refreshed us-
ing a minimum
t
RC refresh rate prior to resuming nor-
mal operation.
DRAM REFRESH
Preserve correct memory cell data by maintaining
power and executing any RAS# cycle (READ, WRITE) or
RAS# REFRESH cycle (RAS#-ONLY, CBR or HIDDEN)
so that all 1,024 combinations of RAS# addresses are
executed within
t
REF (MAX), regardless of sequence.
The CBR and EXTENDED and SELF REFRESH cycles
will invoke the internal refresh counter for automatic
RAS# addressing.
An optional self refresh mode is available on the “S”
version. The self refresh feature is initiated by per-
forming a CBR REFRESH cycle and holding RAS# LOW
for the specified
t
RASS. The “S” option allows the user
