GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Micron 16Mb SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dy-
namic 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
*Off-center parting line
**CL = CAS (READ) latency

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
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 oriented;
accesses start at a selected location and continue for a
programmed number of locations in a programmed se-
quence. Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE
command, which is then followed by a READ or WRITE
command. The address bits registered coincident 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 architec-
ture 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 accessing the alternate bank
will hide the PRECHARGE cycles and provide seamless,
high-speed, random-access operation.
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 operating
performance, including the ability to synchronously burst
data at a high data rate with automatic column-address
generation, the ability to interleave between internal banks
in order to hide precharge time, and the capability to
randomly change column addresses on each clock cycle
during a burst access.
