Functional Description

Applications

The GS88037BT-xxxV is a 9,437,184-bit (8,388,608-bit for

x32 version) high performance synchronous SRAM with a

2-bit burst address counter. Although of a type originally

developed for Level 2 Cache applications supporting high

performance CPUs, the device now finds application in

synchronous SRAM applications, ranging from DSP main

store to networking chip set support.

Controls

Addresses, data I/Os, chip enables (E1, E2, E3), address burst

control inputs (ADSP, ADSC, ADV), and write control inputs

(Bx, BW, GW) are synchronous and are controlled by a

positive-edge-triggered clock input (CK). Output enable (G)

and power down control (ZZ) are asynchronous inputs. Burst

cycles can be initiated with either ADSP or ADSC inputs. In

Burst mode, subsequent burst addresses are generated

internally and are controlled by ADV. The burst address

counter may be configured to count in either linear or

interleave order with the Linear Burst Order (LBO) input. The

Burst function need not be used. New addresses can be loaded

on every cycle with no degradation of chip performance.

SCD Pipelined Reads

The GS88037BT-xxxV is a SCD (Single Cycle Deselect)

pipelined synchronous SRAM. DCD (Dual Cycle Deselect)

versions are also available. SCD SRAMs pipeline deselect

commands one stage less than read commands. SCD RAMs

begin turning off their outputs immediately after the deselect

command has been captured in the input registers.

Byte Write and Global Write

Byte write operation is performed by using Byte Write enable

(BW) input combined with one or more individual byte write

signals (Bx). In addition, Global Write (GW) is available for

writing all bytes at one time, regardless of the Byte Write

control inputs.

Sleep Mode

Low power (Sleep mode) is attained through the assertion

(High) of the ZZ signal, or by stopping the clock (CK).

Memory data is retained during Sleep mode.

Core and Interface Voltages

The GS88037BT-xxxV operates on a 1.8 V or 2.5 V power

supply. All input are 2.5 V and 1.8 V compatible. Separate

from the internal circuits and are 2.5 V and 1.8 V compatible.
