SigmaRAM™ Family Overview
GS8182S18/36 are built in compliance with the SigmaSIO-II SRAM
pinout standard for Separate I/O synchronous SRAMs. They are
18,874,368-bit (18Mb) SRAMs. These are the first in a family of wide,
very low voltage HSTL I/O SRAMs designed to operate at the speeds
needed to implement economical high performance networking
systems.
Alternating Read-Write Operations
SigmaSIO-II SRAMs follow a few simple rules of operation.
- Read or Write commands issued on one port are never allowed to
interrupt an operation in progress on the other port.
- Read or Write data transfers in progress may not be interrupted and
re-started.
- R and W high always deselects the RAM.
- All address, data, and control inputs are sampled on clock edges.
In order to enforce these rules, each RAM combines present state
information with command inputs. See the Truth Table for details.
single input register clock input, K. The device also allows the user to
manipulate the output register clock input quasi independently with
the C clock input. If the C clock is tied high, the K clock is routed
internally to fire the output registers instead. Each
Σ

SigmaSIO-II SRAM also supplies an Echo Clock output, CQ, which is
synchronized with read data output. When used in a source
synchronous clocking scheme, the Echo Clock output can be used to
fire input registers at the data’s destination.

Background
Separate I/O SRAMs, from a system architecture point of view, are attractive in applications where alternating reads and writes are needed.
Therefore, the SigmaSIO-II SRAM interface and truth table are optimized for alternating reads and writes. Separate I/O SRAMs are unpopular in
applications where multiple reads or multiple writes are needed because burst read or write transfers from Separate I/O SRAMs can cut the
RAM’s bandwidth in half.
A SigmaSIO-II SRAM can begin an alternating sequence of reads and writes with either a read or a write. In order for any separate I/O SRAM
that shares a common address between its two ports to keep both ports running all the time, the RAM must implement some sort of burst transfer
protocol. The burst must be at least long enough to cover the time the opposite port is receiving instructions on what to do next. The rate at which
a RAM can accept a new random address is the most fundamental performance metric for the RAM. Each of the three SigmaQuad SRAMs
support similar address rates because random address rate is determined by the internal performance of the RAM and they are all based on the
same internal circuits. Differences between the truth tables of the different SigmaQuad SRAMs, or any other Separate I/O SRAMs, follow from
differences in how the RAM’s interface is contrived to interact with the rest of the system. Each mode of operation has its own advantages and
disadvantages. The user should consider the nature of the work to be done by the RAM to evaluate which version is best suited to the application
at hand.
