Features
Clocking and Addressing Schemes
• 2.5 Clock Latency
The GS8672T20/38AE SigmaDDR-II+ SRAMs are
• On-Chip ECC with virtually zero SER
• Simultaneous Read and Write SigmaDDR™ Interface
• Common I/O bus
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.
• JEDEC-standard package
• 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 with self-timed Late Write
• Fully coherent read and write pipelines
• ZQ pin for programmable output drive strength
• IEEE 1149.1 JTAG-compliant Boundary Scan
• Pin-compatible with future 144Mb and 288Mb devices
• 165-bump, 15 mm x 17 mm, 1 mm bump pitch BGA package
• RoHS-compliant 165-bump BGA package available
Because Common I/O SigmaDDR-II+ ECCRAMs 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 SigmaDDR-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 etc. The resulting SER of these devices is
anticipated to be <0.002 FITs/Mb — a 5-order-of-magnitude
improvement over comparable SRAMs 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.
SigmaDDR™ Family Overview
The GS8672T20/38AE SigmaDDR-II+ ECCRAMs are built in
compliance with the SigmaDDR-II+ SRAM pinout standard
for Common I/O synchronous SRAMs. They are
75,497,472-bit (72Mb) SRAMs. The GS8672T20/38AE
SigmaDDR SRAMs are just one element in a family of low
power, low voltage HSTL I/O SRAMs 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.
