Functional description
The AS7C33512NTF18A family is a high performance CMOS 8 Mbit synchronous Static Random Access Memory (Flowthrough SRAM)
organized as 524,288 words × 18 bits and incorporates a LATE Write.
This variation of the 8Mb sychronous SRAM uses the No Turnaround Delay (NTD
™
) architecture, featuring an enhanced write operation
that improves bandwidth over pipelined burst devices. In a normal flowthrough burst device, the write data, command, and address are all
applied to the device on the same clock edge. If a read command follows this write command, the system must wait for one 'dead' cycle for
valid data to become available. This dead cycle can significantly reduce overall bandwidth for applications requiring random access or read-
modify-write operations.
NTD
™
devices use the memory bus more efficiently by introducing a write latency that matches one-cycle flow-through read latency. Write
data is applied one cycle after the write command and address, allowing the read pipeline to clear. With NTD
™
, write and read operations
can be used in any order without producing dead bus cycles.
Assert R/W low to perform write cycles. Byte write enable controls write access to specific bytes, or can be tied low for full 18 bit writes.
Write enable signals, along with the write address, are registered on a rising edge of the clock. Write data is applied to the device one clock
cycle later. Unlike some asynchronous SRAMs, output enable OE does not need to be toggled for write operations; it can be tied low for
normal operations. Outputs go to a high impedance state when the device is de-selected by any of the three chip enable inputs.
Use the ADV (burst advance) input to perform burst read, write and deselect operations. When ADV is high, external addresses, chip select,
R/W pins are ignored, and internal address counters increment in the count sequence specified by the LBO control. Any device operations,
including burst, can be stalled using the CEN=1, the clock enable input.
The AS7C33512NTF18A operates with a 3.3V ± 5% power supply for the device core (V
DD
). DQ circuits use a separate power supply
(V
DDQ
) that operates across 3.3V or 2.5V ranges. These devices are available in a 100-pin 14×20 mm TQFP package

Clock. All inputs except OE, LBO, and ZZ are synchronous to this clock.
Clock enable. When de-asserted high, the clock input signal is masked.
Address. Sampled when all chip enables are active and ADV/LD is asserted.
Data. Driven as output when the chip is enabled and OE is active.
Synchronous chip enables. Sampled at the rising edge of CLK, when ADV/LD is asserted.
Are ignored when ADV/LD is high.
Advance or Load. When sampled high, the internal burst address counter will increment in
the order defined by the LBO input value. (refer to table on page 2) When low, a new
address is loaded.
A high during LOAD initiates a READ operation. A low during LOAD initiates a WRITE
operation. Is ignored when ADV/LD is high.
Byte write enables. Used to control write on individual bytes. Sampled along with WRITE
command and BURST WRITE.
Asynchronous output enable. I/O pins are not driven when OE is inactive.
Selects Burst mode. When tied to V
DD
or left floating, device follows Interleaved Burst
order. When driven Low, device follows linear Burst order.
This signal is internally pulled
High.
Snooze. Places device in low power mode; data is retained. Connect to GND if unused.
No connects. Note that pin 84 will be used for future address expansion to 16Mb density.

INHIBIT CLOCK
Current L to H
Key:
X = Don’t Care, H = HIGH, L = LOW.
BWn = H means all byte write signals (BWa and BWb
) are HIGH.
BW
n = L means one or more byte
write signals are LOW.
Notes:
1 CONTINUE BURST cycles, whether READ or WRITE, use the same control inputs. The type of cycle performed (READ or WRITE) is chose in the initial
BEGIN BURST cycle. A CONINUE DESELECT cycle can only be entered if a DESELECT CYCLE is executed first.
2 DUMMY READ and WRITE ABORT cycles can be considered NOPs because the device performs no external operation. A WRITE ABORT means a
WRITE command is given, but no operation is performed.
3 OE may be wired LOW to minimize the number of control signal to the SRAM. The device will automatically turn off the output drivers during a WRITE
cycle. OE may be used when the bus turn-on and turn-off times do not meet an application’s requirements.
4 If an INHIBIT CLOCK command occurs during a READ operation, the DQ bus will remain active (Low-Z). If it occurs during a WRITE cycle, the bus will
remain in High-Z. No WRITE operations will be performed during the INHIBIT CLOCK cycle.
5
BW
a enables WRITEs to byte “a” (DQa pins/balls);
BW
b enables WRITEs to byte “b” (DQb pins/balls).
6 All inputs except
OE
and ZZ must meet setup and hold times around the rising edge (LOW to HIGH) of CLK.
7 Wait states are inserted by setting
CEN
HIGH.
8 This device contains circuitry that will ensure that the outputs will be in High-Z during power-up.
9 The device incorporates a 2-bit burst counter. Address wraps to the initial address every fourth BURST CYCLE.
10 The address counter is incremented for all CONTINUE BURST cycles.
