CY7C1613KV18/CY7C1615KV18
Read access and write access must be scheduled such that one
transaction is initiated on any clock cycle. If both ports are
selected on the same K clock rise, the arbitration depends on the
previous state of the SRAM. If both ports are deselected, the
read port takes priority. If a read was initiated on the previous
cycle, the write port takes priority (as read operations can not be
initiated on consecutive cycles). If a write was initiated on the
previous cycle, the read port takes priority (as write operations
can not be initiated on consecutive cycles). Therefore, asserting
both port selects active from a deselected state results in alter-
nating read or write operations being initiated, with the first
access being a read.
Write Operations
Write operations are initiated by asserting WPS active at the
rising edge of the positive input clock (K). On the following K
clock rise the data presented to D[17:0] is latched and stored into
the lower 18-bit write data register, provided BWS[1:0] are both
asserted active. On the subsequent rising edge of the negative
input clock (K) the information presented to D[17:0] is also stored
into the write data register, provided BWS[1:0] are both asserted
active. This process continues for one more cycle until four 18-bit
words (a total of 72 bits) of data are stored in the SRAM. The
72 bits of data are then written into the memory array at the
specified location. Therefore, write accesses to the device can
not be initiated on two consecutive K clock rises. The internal
logic of the device ignores the second write request. Write
accesses can be initiated on every other rising edge of the
positive input clock (K). Doing so pipelines the data flow such
that 18 bits of data can be transferred into the device on every
rising edge of the input clocks (K and K).
Depth Expansion
The CY7C1613KV18 has a port select input for each port. This
enables for easy depth expansion. Both port selects are sampled
on the rising edge of the positive input clock only (K). Each port
select input can deselect the specified port. Deselecting a port
does not affect the other port. All pending transactions (read and
write) are completed before the device is deselected.
When deselected, the write port ignores all inputs after the
pending write operations have been completed.
Programmable Impedance
Byte Write Operations
An external resistor, RQ, must be connected between the ZQ pin
on the SRAM and VSS to allow the SRAM to adjust its output
driver impedance. The value of RQ must be 5 × the value of the
intended line impedance driven by the SRAM, the allowable
range of RQ to guarantee impedance matching with a tolerance
of ±15% is between 175 and 350 , with VDDQ = 1.5 V. The
output impedance is adjusted every 1024 cycles upon power up
to account for drifts in supply voltage and temperature.
Byte write operations are supported by the CY7C1613KV18. A
write operation is initiated as described in the Write Operations
section. The bytes that are written are determined by BWS0 and
BWS1, which are sampled with each set of 18-bit data words.
Asserting the appropriate Byte Write Select input during the data
portion of a write latches the data being presented and writes it
into the device. Deasserting the Byte Write Select input during
the data portion of a write enables the data stored in the device
for that byte to remain unaltered. This feature can be used to
simplify read, modify, or write operations to a byte write
operation.
Echo Clocks
Echo clocks are provided on the QDR II to simplify data capture
on high speed systems. Two echo clocks are generated by the
QDR II. CQ is referenced with respect to C and CQ is referenced
with respect to C. These are free-running clocks and are
synchronized to the output clock of the QDR II. In the single clock
mode, CQ is generated with respect to K and CQ is generated
with respect to K. The timing for the echo clocks is shown in the
Switching Characteristics on page 24.
Single Clock Mode
The CY7C1613KV18 can be used with a single clock that
controls both the input and output registers. In this mode the
device recognizes only a single pair of input clocks (K and K) that
control both the input and output registers. This operation is
identical to the operation if the device had zero skew between
the K/K and C/C clocks. All timing parameters remain the same
in this mode. To use this mode of operation, the user must tie C
and C HIGH at power on. This function is a strap option and not
alterable during device operation.
PLL
These chips use a PLL that is designed to function between
120 MHz and the specified maximum clock frequency. During
power up, when the DOFF is tied HIGH, the PLL is locked after
20 s of stable clock. The PLL can also be reset by slowing or
stopping the input clocks K and K for a minimum of 30 ns.
However, it is not necessary to reset the PLL to lock to the
desired frequency. The PLL automatically locks 20 s after a
stable clock is presented. The PLL may be disabled by applying
ground to the DOFF pin. When the PLL is turned off, the device
behaves in QDR I mode (with one cycle latency and a longer
access time).
Concurrent Transactions
The read and write ports on the CY7C1613KV18 operates
completely independently of one another. As each port latches
the address inputs on different clock edges, the user can read or
write to any location, regardless of the transaction on the other
port. If the ports access the same location when a read follows a
write in successive clock cycles, the SRAM delivers the most
recent information associated with the specified address
location. This includes forwarding data from a write cycle that
was initiated on the previous K clock rise.
