devices
The GS8672T18/36AE SigmaDDR-II SRAMs 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. The device also allows the user to manipulate the
output register clock inputs quasi independently with the C and
C clock inputs. C and C are also independent single-ended
clock inputs, not differential inputs. If the C clocks are tied
high, the K clocks are routed internally to fire the output
registers instead.
Common I/O x36 and x18 SigmaDDR-II ECCRAMs always
transfer data in two packets. When a new address is loaded, A0
presets an internal 1-bit address counter. The counter
increments by 1 (toggles) for each beat of a burst of two data
transfer.

On-Chip Error Correction Code
SigmaDDR™ Family Overview
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.
The GS8672T18/36AE 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 GS8672T18/36AE SigmaDDR-II
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.
