Functional Description
Because SigmaRAMs are synchronous devices, address data
inputs and read/write control inputs are captured on the rising
edge of the input clock. Write cycles are internally self-timed
and initiated by the rising edge of the clock input. This feature
eliminates complex off-chip write pulse generation required by
asynchronous SRAMs and simplifies input signal timing. In
DDR mode the device captures Data In on both rising and
falling edges of clock and drives data on both clock edges as
well.
Because the DDR
Σ
RAM always transfers data in two halves,
A0 is internally set to 0 for the first half of each read or write
transfer, and automatically incremented to 1 for the falling
edge transfer. The address field of a DDR
Σ
RAM is always
one address pin less than the advertised index depth (e.g., the
512k x 36 has a 512k addressable index).
SigmaRAM Family Overview
GS8170DD36 SigmaRAMs are built in compliance with the
SigmaRAM pinout standard for synchronous SRAMs. They
are 18,874,368-bit (18Mb) SRAMs. This family of wide, very
low voltage CMOS I/O SRAMs is designed to operate at the
speeds needed to implement economical high performance
networking systems.
Σ
RAMs support pipelined reads utilizing a rising-edge-
triggered output register. DDR
Σ
RAMs incorporate rising-
and falling-edge-triggered output registers. They also utilize a
Dual Cycle Deselect (DCD) output deselect protocol.
Σ
RAMs are offered in a number of configurations including
Late Write, Double Late Write, and Double Data Rate (DDR).
The logical differences between the protocols employed by
these RAMs mainly involve various approaches to write
Σ
RAMs are implemented with high performance CMOS
technology and are packaged in a 209-bump BGA.
