NOTE:
The 16Mb SDRAM base number differentiates the
offerings in two places: MT48LC2M8A1 S. The fourth
field distinguishes the architecture offering: 4M4
designates 4 Meg x 4, and 2M8 designates 2 Meg x 8.
The fifth field distinguishes the WRITE recovery
offering: A1 designates one CLK and A2 designates two
CLKs.

16 MEG: x4, x8
SDRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Micron 16Mb SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS,
dynamic random-access memory containing 16,777,216
bits. It is internally configured as a dual memory array
(the 4 Meg x 4 is a dual 2 Meg x 4, and the 2 Meg x 8 is a dual
1 Meg x 8) with a synchronous interface (all signals are
registered on the positive edge of the clock signal, CLK).
Each of the two internal banks is organized with 2,048
rows and either 1,024 columns by 4 bits (4 Meg x 4) or 512
columns by 8 bits (2 Meg x 8).
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst ori-
ented; accesses start at a selected location and continue
for a programmed number of locations in a programmed
sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of an AC-
TIVE command, which is then followed by a READ or
WRITE command. The address bits registered coinci-
dent with the ACTIVE command are used to select the
bank and row to be accessed (BA selects the bank, A0-A10
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 initiated at the end of the burst
sequence.
The Micron 16Mb SDRAM uses an internal pipelined
architecture to achieve high-speed operation. This ar-
chitecture is compatible 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 access-
ing the alternate bank will hide the PRECHARGE cycles
and provide seamless, high-speed, random-access op-
eration.
The Micron 16Mb 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 operat-
ing performance, including the ability to synchronously
burst data at a high data rate with automatic column-
address generation, the ability to interleave between in-
ternal banks in order to hide precharge time, and the
capability to randomly change column addresses on each
clock cycle during a burst access.
