Type Description
Input
Clock:
CLK is driven by the system clock. All SGRAM input signals are sampled on
the positive edge of CLK. CLK also increments the internal burst counter and con-
trol the output registers.
Input
Clock Enable:
CKE activates(HIGH) and deactivates(LOW) the CLK signal. If CKE
goes low synchronously with clock (set-up and hold time same as other inputs), the
internal clock is suspended from the next clock cycle and the state of output and
burst address is frozen as long as the CKE remains low. When both banks are in
the idle state, deactivating the clock controls the entry to the Power Down and Self
Refresh modes. CKE is synchronous except after the device enters Power Down
and Self Refresh modes, where CKE becomes asynchronous until after exiting the
same mode. The input buffers, including CLK, are disabled during Power Down
and Self Refresh modes providing low standby power.
Input
Bank Select:
BS defines to which bank the BankActivate, Read, Write, or Bank-
Precharge command is being applied. BS is also used to program the 10th bit of
the Mode and Special Mode registers.
Input
Address Inputs:
A0-A9 are sampled during the BankActivate command (row
address A0-A9) and Read/Write command (column address A0-A7 with A9 defin-
ing Auto Precharge) to select one location out of the 256K available in the respec-
tive bank. During a Precharge command, A9 is sampled to determine if both banks
are to be precharged (A9 = HIGH). The address inputs also provide the op-code
during a Mode Register Set or Special Mode Register Set command.
Input
Chip Select:
CS enables (sampled LOW) and disables (sampled HIGH) the com-
mand decoder. All commands are masked when CS is sampled HIGH. CS provides
for external bank selection on systems with multiple banks. It is considered part of
the command code.
Input
Row Address Strobe:
The RAS signal defines the operation commands in con-
junction with the CAS and WE signals, and is latched at the positive edges of CLK.
When RAS and CS are asserted “LOW” and CAS is asserted “HIGH”, either the
BankActivate command or the Precharge command is selected by the WE signal.
When the WE is asserted “HIGH” the BankActivate command is selected and the
bank designated by BS is turned on to the active state. When the WE is asserted
"LOW", the Precharge command is selected and the bank designated by BS is
switched to the idle state after precharge operation.
Input
Column Address Strobe:
The CAS signal defines the operation commands in
conjunction with the RAS and WE signals, and it is latched at the positive edges of
CLK. When RAS is held “HIGH” and CS is asserted “LOW”, the column access is
started by asserting CAS “LOW”. Then, the Read or Write command is selected by
asserting WE “LOW” or “HIGH”.
Input
Write Enable:
The WE signal defines the operation commands in conjunction with
the RAS and CAS signals, and it is latched at the positive edges of CLK. The WE
input is used to select the BankActivate or Precharge command and Read or Write
command.
Input
Define Special Function:
The DSF signal defines the operation commands in
conjunction with the RAS and CAS and WE signals, and it is latched at the positive
edges of CLK. The DSF input is used to select the masked write disable/enable
command and block write command, and the Special Mode Register Set cycle.
