GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1 Meg x 16 DRAM is a randomly accessed, solid-state
memory containing 16,777,216 bits organized in a x16 con-
figuration. The 1 Meg x 16 DRAM has both BYTE WRITE
and WORD WRITE access cycles via two CAS# pins
1 Meg x 16 FPM DRAM
D51.pm5 – Rev. 3/97
(CASL# and CASH#). These function in an identical man-
ner to a single CAS# of other DRAMs in that either CASL#
or CASH# will generate an internal CAS#.
The CAS# function and timing are determined by the first
CAS# (CASL# or CASH#) to transition LOW and the last
CAS# to transition back HIGH. Use of only one of the two
results in a BYTE access cycle. CASL# transitioning LOW
selects an access cycle for the lower byte (DQ1-DQ8) and
CASH# transitioning LOW selects an access cycle for the
upper byte (DQ9-DQ16).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
Each bit is uniquely addressed through the 20 address
bits during READ or WRITE cycles. These are entered 10
bits (A0 -A9) at a time. RAS# is used to latch the first 10 bits
and CAS# the latter 10 bits. The CAS# function is deter-
mined by the first CAS# (CASL# or CASH#) to transition
LOW and the last one to transition back HIGH. The CAS#
function also determines whether the cycle will be a refresh
cycle (RAS#-ONLY) or an active cycle (READ, WRITE or
READ WRITE) once RAS# goes LOW.
The CASL# and CASH# inputs internally generate a
CAS# signal functioning in an identical manner to the
single CAS# input of other DRAMs. The key difference is
each CAS# input (CASL# and CASH#) controls its corre-
sponding DQ tristate logic (in conjunction with OE# and
WE#). CASL# controls DQ1 through DQ8 and CASH#
controls DQ9 through DQ16. The two CAS# controls give
the 1 Meg x 16 DRAM BYTE WRITE cycle capabilities.
A logic HIGH on WE# dictates READ mode while a logic
LOW on WE# dictates WRITE mode. During a WRITE
cycle, data-in (D) is latched by the falling edge of WE# or
CAS, whichever occurs last. Taking WE# LOW will initiate
WORD WRITE
RAS#
a WRITE cycle, selecting DQ1 through DQ16. If WE# goes
LOW prior to CAS# going LOW, the output pin(s) remain
open (High-Z) until the next CAS# cycle. If WE# goes LOW
after CAS# goes LOW and data reaches the output pins,
data-out (Q) is activated and retains the selected cell data as
long as CAS# and OE# remain LOW (regardless of WE# or
RAS#). This late WE# pulse results in a READ WRITE cycle.
The 16 data inputs and 16 data outputs are routed through
16 pins using common I/O. Pin direction is controlled by
OE# and WE#.
FAST PAGE MODE
FAST PAGE MODE operations allow faster data opera-
tions (READ, WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE) within a
row-address-defined (A0 -A9) page boundary. The FAST
PAGE MODE cycle is always initiated with a row address
strobed-in by RAS# followed by a column address strobed-
in by CAS#. CAS# may be toggled-in by holding RAS#
LOW and strobing-in different column addresses, thus
executing faster memory cycles. Returning RAS# HIGH
terminates the FAST PAGE MODE operation.

(continued)
Returning RAS# and CAS# HIGH terminates a memory
cycle and decreases chip current to a reduced standby
level. The chip is also preconditioned for the next cycle
during the RAS# HIGH time. Memory cell data is retained
in its correct state by maintaining power and executing any
RAS# cycle (READ, WRITE) or RAS# refresh cycle (RAS#
ONLY, CBR, or HIDDEN) so that all 1,024 combinations of
RAS# addresses (A0 -A9) are executed at least every 16ms
(128ms on the “S” version), regardless of sequence. The
CBR Refresh cycle will also invoke the refresh counter and
controller for row-address control.
select an upper BYTE access (DQ9-DQ16). Enabling both
CASL# and CASH# selects a WORD WRITE cycle.
The 1 Meg x 16 DRAM may be viewed as two 1 Meg x 8
DRAMs that have common input controls, with the excep-
tion of the CAS# inputs. Figure 1 illustrates the BYTE WRITE
and WORD WRITE cycles. Figure 2 illustrates BYTE READ
and WORD READ cycles.
Additionally, both bytes must always be of the same
mode of operation if both bytes are active. A CAS# precharge
must be satisfied prior to changing modes of operation
between the upper and lower bytes. For example, an EARLY
WRITE on one byte and a LATE WRITE on the other byte
are not allowed during the same cycle. However, an EARLY
WRITE on one byte and, after a CAS# precharge has been
satisfied, a LATE WRITE on the other byte are permissible.
BYTE ACCESS CYCLE
The BYTE WRITEs and BYTE READs are determined by
the use of CASL# and CASH#. Enabling CASL# will select
a lower BYTE access (DQ1-DQ8). Enabling CASH# will

REFRESH
Preserve correct memory cell data by maintaining power
and executing any RAS# cycle (READ, WRITE) or RAS#
refresh cycle (RAS#-ONLY, CBR, or HIDDEN) so that all
1,024 combinations of RAS# addresses are executed within
t
REF (MAX), regardless of sequence. The CBR and Ex-
tended and Self Refresh cycles will invoke the internal
refresh counter for automatic RAS# addressing.
The optional Self Refresh mode is available on the “S”
version. The “S” option allows the user a dynamic refresh,
data retention mode at the extended refresh period of
128ms, i.e. 125µs per row when using distributed CBR
refreshes. The “S” option also allows the user the choice of
a fully static low-power data retention mode. The optional
Self Refresh feature is initiated by performing a CBR Re-
fresh cycle and holding RAS# LOW for the specified
t
RASS.
The Self Refresh mode is terminated by driving
RAS# HIGH for a minimum time of
t
RPS. This delay allows
for the completion of any internal refresh cycles that may be
in process at the time of the RAS# LOW-to-HIGH transi-
tion. If the DRAM controller uses a distributed refresh
sequence, a burst refresh is not required upon exiting Self
Refresh. However, if the DRAM controller utilizes RAS#-
ONLY or burst refresh sequence, all 1,024 rows must be
refreshed within the average internal refresh rate prior to
the resumption of normal operation.
STANDBY
Returning RAS# and CAS# HIGH terminates a memory
cycle and decreases chip current to a reduced standby level.
The chip is preconditioned for the next cycle during the
RAS# HIGH time.
