Features
Clocking and Addressing Schemes
• 2.0 Clock Latency
The GS8672Q19/37AE SigmaQuad-II+ ECCRAMs are
synchronous devices. They employ two input register clock
inputs, K and K. K and K are independent single-ended clock
inputs, not differential inputs to a single differential clock input
buffer.
• On-Chip ECC with virtually zero SER
• Simultaneous Read and Write SigmaQuad™ Interface
• JEDEC-standard pinout and package
• Dual Double Data Rate interface
• Byte Write Capability
• Burst of 2 Read and Write
• On-Die Termination (ODT) on Data (D), Byte Write (BW),
and Clock (K, K) outputs
• 1.8 V +100/–100 mV core power supply
• 1.5 V HSTL Interface
• Pipelined read operation
• Fully coherent read and write pipelines
• ZQ pin for programmable output drive strength
• IEEE 1149.1 JTAG-compliant Boundary Scan
• Pin-compatible with present 9Mb, 18Mb, and 36Mb and
future 144Mb devices
Because Separate I/O SigmaQuad-II+ B2 RAMs always
transfer data in two packets, A0 is internally set to 0 for the
first read or write transfer, and automatically incremented by 1
for the next transfer. Because the LSB is tied off internally, the
address field of a SigmaQuad-II+ B2 RAM is always one
address pin less than the advertised index depth (e.g., the 4M x
18 has a 2M addressable index).
On-Chip Error Correction Code
GSI's ECCRAMs implement an ECC algorithm that detects
and corrects all single-bit memory errors, including those
induced by Soft Error Rate (SER) events such as cosmic rays,
alpha particles. The resulting SER of these devices is
anticipated to be <0.002 FITs/Mb — a 5-order-of-magnitude
improvement over comparable ECCRAMs with no On-Chip
ECC, which typically have an SER of 200 FITs/Mb or more.
SER quoted above is based on reading taken at sea level.

SigmaQuad™ ECCRAM Overview
The GS8672Q19/37AE are built in compliance with the
SigmaQuad-II+ ECCRAM pinout standard for Separate I/O
synchronous ECCRAMs. They are 75,497,472-bit (72Mb)
ECCRAMs. The GS8672Q19/37AE SigmaQuad ECCRAMs
are just one element in a family of low power, low voltage
HSTL I/O ECCRAMs designed to operate at the speeds needed
to implement economical high performance networking
systems.
However, the On-Chip Error Correction (ECC) will be
disabled if a “Half Write” operation is initiated. See the Byte
Write Contol section for further information.
