The AS7C33256NTD16B/18B family is a high performance CMOS 4 Mbit synchronous Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)
organized as 262,144 words × 16 or 18 bits and incorporates a LATE LATE Write.
This variation of the 4Mb sychronous SRAM uses the No Turnaround Delay (NTD
™
) architecture, featuring an enhanced Write operation
that improves bandwidth over pipeline burst devices. In a normal pipeline burst device, the write data, command, and address are all applied
to the device on the same clock edge. If a Read command follows this Write command, the system must wait for two 'dead' cycles for valid
data to become available. These dead cycles can significantly reduce overall bandwidth for applications requiring random access or Read-
Modify-Write operations.
NTD
™
devices use the memory bus more efficiently by introducing a write 'latency' which matches the two (one)cycle pipeline
(flowthrough) read latency. Write data is applied two cycles after the Write command and address, allowing the Read pipeline to clear. With
NTD
™
, Write and Read operations can be used in any order without producing dead bus cycles.
Assert R/W low to perform Write cycles. Byte Write enable controls write access to specific bytes, or can be tied low for full 16/18 bit
writes. Write enable signals, along with the write address, are registered on a rising edge of the clock. Write data is applied to the device two
clock cycles later. Unlike some asynchronous SRAMs, output enable OE does not need to be toggled for write operations; it can be tied low
for normal operations. Outputs go to a high impedance state when the device is de-selected by any of the three chip enable inputs (refer to
synchronous truth table on page 4). In pipeline mode, a two cycle deselect latency allows pending read or write operations to be completed.
Use the ADV (burst advance) input to perform burst read, write and deselect operations. When ADV is high, external addresses, chip select, R/W
pins are ignored, and internal address counters increment in the count sequence specified by the LBO control. Any device operations,
including burst, can be stalled using the CEN=1 the clock enable input.
The AS7C33256NTD18B and AS7C33256NTD16B operate with a 3.3V ± 5% power supply for the device core (V
DD
). DQ circuits use a
separate power supply (V
DDQ
) that operates across 3.3V or 2.5V ranges. These devices are available in a 100-pin 14×20 mm TQFP package.

Clock. All inputs except OE, FT, LBO, and ZZ are synchronous to this clock.
Clock enable. When de-asserted HIGH, the clock input signal is masked.
Address. Sampled when all chip enables are active and ADV/LD is asserted.
Data. Driven as output when the chip is enabled and OE is active.
Synchronous chip enables. Sampled at the rising edge of CLK, when ADV/LD is asserted.
Are ignored when ADV/LD is HIGH.
Advance or Load. When sampled HIGH, the internal burst address counter will increment
in the order defined by the LBO input value. (refer to table on page 2) When LOW, a new
address is loaded.
A HIGH during LOAD initiates a READ operation. A LOW during LOAD initiates a
WRITE operation. Is ignored when ADV/LD is HIGH.
Byte write enables. Used to control write on individual bytes. Sampled along with WRITE
command and BURST WRITE.
Asynchronous output enable. I/O pins are not driven when OE is inactive.
Count mode. When driven High, count sequence follows Intel XOR convention. When
driven Low, count sequence follows linear convention. This input should be static when the
device is in operation.
Flow-through mode. When low, enables single register flow-through mode. Connect to
V
DD
if unused or for pipelined operation.
Snooze. Places device in low power mode; data is retained. Connect to GND if unused.
No connects. Note that pin 83 and 84 will be used for future address expansion to 8Mb and
16Mb density.
