2, 4 MEG x 72 DRAM MODULES
EDO PAGE MODE
EDO PAGE MODE, designated by the “X” version, is an
accelerated FAST PAGE MODE cycle. The primary advan-
tage of EDO is the availability of data-out even after CAS#
goes back HIGH. EDO provides for CAS# precharge time
(
t
CP) to occur without the output data going invalid. This
elimination of CAS# output control provides for pipeline
READs.
FAST-PAGE-MODE modules have traditionally turned
the output buffers off (High-Z) with the rising edge of
CAS#. EDO-PAGE-MODE DRAMs operate similar to FAST-
PAGE-MODE DRAMs, except data will remain valid or
become valid after CAS# goes HIGH during READs, pro-
vided RAS# and OE# are held LOW. If OE# is pulsed while
RAS# and CAS# are LOW, data will toggle from valid data
to High-Z and back to the same valid data. If OE# is toggled
or pulsed after CAS# goes HIGH while RAS# remains
LOW, data will transition to and remain High-Z.
During an application, if the DQ outputs are wire OR’d,
OE# must be used to disable idle banks of DRAMs. Alter-
natively, pulsing WE# to the idle banks during CAS# HIGH
time will also High-Z the outputs. Independent of OE#
control, the outputs will disable after
t
OFF, which is refer-
enced from the rising edge of RAS# or CAS#, whichever
occurs last (reference the MT4LC4M4E8 DRAM data sheet
for additional information on EDO functionality).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MT9LD272A(X), MT18LD472A(X) are randomly ac-
cessed 16MB and 32MB solid-state memories organized in
a x72 configuration. They are specially processed to operate
from 3.0V to 3.6V for low-voltage memory systems.
During READ or WRITE cycles, each bit is uniquely
addressed through the 21/22 address bits, which are en-
tered 11 bits (A0 -A10) at RAS# time and 10/11 bits (A0-
A10) at CAS# time.
READ and WRITE cycles are selected with the WE#
input. 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. An EARLY WRITE occurs
when WE# is taken LOW prior to CAS# falling. A LATE
WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE occurs when WE# falls
after CAS# was taken LOW. During EARLY WRITE cycles,
the data-outputs (Q) will remain High-Z regardless of the
state of OE#. During LATE WRITE or READ-MODIFY-
WRITE cycles, OE# must be taken HIGH to disable the
data-outputs prior to applying input data. If a LATE WRITE
or READ-MODIFY-WRITE is attempted while keeping
OE# LOW, no write will occur, and the data-outputs will
drive read data from the accessed location.
REFRESH
Returning RAS# and CAS# HIGH terminates a memory
cycle and decreases chip current to a reduced standby level.
Also, the chip is preconditioned for the next cycle during
the RAS# HIGH time. Correct memory cell data is pre-
served by maintaining power and executing any RAS#
cycle (READ, WRITE) or RAS# refresh cycle (RAS#-ONLY,
CBR or HIDDEN) so that all combinations of RAS# ad-
dresses (A0-A9/A10) are executed at least every
t
REF,
regardless of sequence. The CBR REFRESH cycle will in-
voke the internal refresh counter for automatic RAS# ad-
dressing.
FAST PAGE MODE
FAST PAGE MODE operations allow faster data opera-
tions (READ or WRITE) within a row-address-defined
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.
SERIAL PRESENCE-DETECT
This module incorporates Serial Presence-Detect (SPD).
The SPD function is implemented using a 2,028 bit EEPROM.
This nonvolatile storage device contains data programmed
by Micron that identifies the module type and various
DRAM organization and timing parameters. System READ/
WRITE operations to the EEPROM device occur via a
standard IIC bus using the DIMM’s SCL (clock) and SDA
(data) signals, together with SA(2:0) which provide the
EEPROM device address. The EEPROM device operates
with a V
CC
of 3.3V
±0.3V.

DESCRIPTION
Row-Address Strobe: RAS# is used to clock-in the 11
row-address bits. Two RAS# inputs allow for one x72
bank or two x36 banks.
Column-Address Strobe: CAS# is used to clock-in the 11
column-address bits, enable the DRAM output buffers
and strobe the data inputs on WRITE cycles.
Write Enable: WE# is the READ/WRITE control for the
DQ pins. If WE# is LOW prior to CAS# going LOW, the
access is an EARLY WRITE cycle. If WE# is HIGH while
CAS# is LOW, the access is a READ cycle, provided OE#
is also LOW. If WE# goes LOW after CAS# goes LOW,
then the cycle is a LATE WRITE cycle. A LATE WRITE
cycle is generally used in conjunction with a READ cycle
to form a READ-MODIFY-WRITE cycle.
Output Enable: OE# is the input/output control for the DQ
pins. These signals may be driven, allowing LATE WRITE
cycles.
Address Inputs: These inputs are multiplexed and clocked
by RAS# and CAS#.
Data I/O: For WRITE cycles, DQ0-DQ63 act as inputs to
the addressed DRAM location. For READ access cycles,
DQ0-DQ63 act as outputs for the addressed DRAM
location.
