Functional Description
[1]
The CY7C1379C is a 3.3V, 256K x 32 Synchronous
Flow-through Burst SRAM designed specifically to support
unlimited true back-to-back Read/Write operations without the
insertion of wait states. The CY7C1379C is equipped with the
advanced No Bus Latency™ (NoBL™) logic required to
enable consecutive Read/Write operations with data being
transferred on every clock cycle. This feature dramatically
improves the throughput of data through the SRAM, especially
in systems that require frequent Write-Read transitions.
All synchronous inputs pass through input registers controlled
by the rising edge of the clock. The clock input is qualified by
the Clock Enable (CEN) signal, which when deasserted
suspends operation and extends the previous clock cycle.
Maximum access delay from the clock rise is 6.5 ns (133-MHz
device).
Write operations are controlled by the two Byte Write Select
(BW
[A:D]
) and a Write Enable (WE) input. All writes are
conducted with on-chip synchronous self-timed write circuitry.
Three synchronous Chip Enables (CE
1
, CE
2
, CE
3
) and an
asynchronous Output Enable (OE) provide for easy bank
selection and output tri-state control. In order to avoid bus
contention, the output drivers are synchronously tri-stated
during the data portion of a write sequence.

I/O
Description
Input-
Output Enable, asynchronous input, active LOW.
Combined
Asynchronous with the synchronous logic block inside the device to control the
direction of the I/O pins. When LOW, the I/O pins are allowed to
behave as outputs. When deasserted HIGH, I/O pins are
tri-stated, and act as input data pins. OE is masked during the
data portion of a write sequence, during the first clock when
emerging from a deselected state, when the device has been
deselected.
Input-
Clock Enable Input, active LOW.
When asserted LOW the
Synchronous Clock signal is recognized by the SRAM. When deasserted
HIGH the Clock signal is masked. Since deasserting CEN does
not deselect the device, CEN can be used to extend the previous
cycle when required.
Input-
ZZ “sleep” Input.
This active HIGH input places the device in a
Asynchronous non-time critical “sleep” condition with data integrity preserved.
For normal operation, this pin has to be LOW or left floating. ZZ
pin has an internal pull-down.
I/O-
Bidirectional Data I/O Lines.
As inputs, they feed into an
Synchronous on-chip data register that is triggered by the rising edge of CLK.
As outputs, they deliver the data contained in the memory
location specified by address during the clock rise of the Read
cycle. The direction of the pins is controlled by OE and the
internal control logic. When OE is asserted LOW, the pins can
behave as outputs. When HIGH, DQ
s
are placed in a tri-state
condition. The outputs are automatically tri-stated during the
data portion of a write sequence, during the first clock when
emerging from a deselected state, and when the device is
deselected, regardless of the state of OE.

access is in progress and allows the requested data to
propagate to the output buffers. The data is available within 6.5
ns (133-MHz device) provided OE is active LOW. After the first
clock of the read access, the output buffers are controlled by
OE and the internal control logic. OE must be driven LOW in
order for the device to drive out the requested data. On the
subsequent clock, another operation (Read/Write/Deselect)
can be initiated. When the SRAM is deselected at clock rise
by one of the chip enable signals, its output will be tri-stated
immediately.
Burst Read Accesses
The CY7C1379C has an on-chip burst counter that allows the
user the ability to supply a single address and conduct up to
four Reads without reasserting the address inputs. ADV/LD
must be driven LOW in order to load a new address into the
SRAM, as described in the Single Read Access section above.
The sequence of the burst counter is determined by the MODE
input signal. A LOW input on MODE selects a linear burst
mode, a HIGH selects an interleaved burst sequence. Both
burst counters use A0 and A1 in the burst sequence, and will
wrap around when incremented sufficiently. A HIGH input on
ADV/LD will increment the internal burst counter regardless of
the state of chip enable inputs or WE. WE is latched at the
beginning of a burst cycle. Therefore, the type of access (Read
or Write) is maintained throughout the burst sequence.
Single Write Accesses
Write access are initiated when the following conditions are
satisfied at clock rise: (1) CEN is asserted LOW, (2) CE
1
, CE
2
,
and CE
3
are ALL asserted active, and (3) the Write signal WE
is asserted LOW. The address presented to the address bus
is loaded into the Address Register. The write signals are
latched into the Control Logic block. The data lines are
automatically tri-stated regardless of the state of the OE input
signal. This allows the external logic to present the data on
DQs.

Functional Overview
The CY7C1379C is a synchronous flow-through burst SRAM
designed specifically to eliminate wait states during
Write-Read transitions. All synchronous inputs pass through
input registers controlled by the rising edge of the clock. The
clock signal is qualified with the Clock Enable input signal
(CEN). If CEN is HIGH, the clock signal is not recognized and
all internal states are maintained. All synchronous operations
are qualified with CEN. Maximum access delay from the clock
rise (t
CDV
) is 6.5 ns (133-MHz device).
Accesses can be initiated by asserting all three Chip Enables
(CE
1
, CE
2
, CE
3
) active at the rising edge of the clock. If Clock
Enable (CEN) is active LOW and ADV/LD is asserted LOW,
the address presented to the device will be latched. The
access can either be a read or write operation, depending on
the status of the Write Enable (WE). BW
[A:D]
can be used to
conduct byte write operations.
Write operations are qualified by the Write Enable (WE). All
writes are simplified with on-chip synchronous self-timed write
circuitry.
Three synchronous Chip Enables (CE
1
, CE
2
, CE
3
) and an
asynchronous Output Enable (OE) simplify depth expansion.
All operations (Reads, Writes, and Deselects) are pipelined.
ADV/LD should be driven LOW once the device has been
deselected in order to load a new address for the next
operation.
Single Read Accesses
A read access is initiated when the following conditions are
satisfied at clock rise: (1) CEN is asserted LOW, (2) CE
1
, CE
2
,
and CE
3
are ALL asserted active, (3) the Write Enable input
signal WE is deasserted HIGH, and 4) ADV/LD is asserted
LOW. The address presented to the address inputs is latched
into the Address Register and presented to the memory array
and control logic. The control logic determines that a read
