Functional description
The AS4C4M4E1 is a high performance 16-megabit CMOS Dynamic Random Access Memories (DRAM) organized as 4,194,304 words × 4
bits. The devices are fabricated using advanced CMOS technology and innovative design techniques resulting in high speed, extremely low
power and wide operating margins at component and system levels. The Alliance 16Mb DRAM family is optimized for use as main memory
in PC, workstation, router and switch applications.
This product features a high speed page mode operation where read and write operations within a single row (or page) can be executed at
very high speed by toggling column addresses within that row. Row and column addresses are alternately latched into input buffers using the
falling edge of RAS and CAS inputs respectively. Also, RAS is used to make the column address latch transparent, enabling application of
column addresses prior to CAS assertion.
Extended data out (EDO) read mode enables 60MHz operation using 60ns devices. In contrast to 'fast page mode' devices, data remains active
on outputs after CAS is de-asserted high, giving system logic more time to latch the data. Use OE and WE to control output impedance and
prevent bus contention during read-modify-write and shared bus applications. Outputs also go to high impedance at the last occurrance of
RAS and CAS going high.
Refresh on the 2048 address combinations of A0 to A10 must be performed every 32 ms using:
• RAS-only refresh: RAS is asserted while CAS is held high. Each of the 2048 rows must be strobed. Outputs remain high impedence.
• Hidden refresh: CAS is held low while RAS is toggled. Refresh address is generated internally. Outputs remain low impedence with
previous valid data.
• CAS-before-RAS refresh (CBR): At least one CAS is asserted prior to RAS. Refresh address is generated internally.
Outputs are high-impedence (OE and WE are don't care).
• Normal read or write cycles refresh the row being accessed.
The AS4C4M4E1 is a available in the standard 24/26-pin plastic SOJ and 24/26-pin plastic TSOP packages. The AS4C4M4E1 operates with a
single power supply of 5V ± 0.5V. It provides TTL compatible inputs and outputs.
