interleave order with the Linear Burst Order (LBO) input. The
Burst function need not be used. New addresses can be loaded
on every cycle with no degradation of chip performance.
Features
• FT pin for user-configurable flow through or pipelined
operation
• Dual Cycle Deselect (DCD) operation
• 3.3 V +10%/–5% core power supply
• 2.5 V or 3.3 V I/O supply
• LBO pin for Linear or Interleaved Burst mode
• Internal input resistors on mode pins allow floating mode pins
• Default to Interleaved Pipeline mode
• Byte Write (BW) and/or Global Write (GW) operation
• Common data inputs and data outputs
• Clock Control, registered, address, data, and control
• Internal self-timed write cycle
Flow Through / Pipeline Reads
The function of the Data Output register can be controlled by
the user via the FT mode pin (Pin 14). Holding the FT mode
pin low places the RAM in Flow Through mode, causing
output data to bypass the Data Output Register. Holding FT
high places the RAM in Pipeline mode, activating the rising-
edge-triggered Data Output Register.
DCD Pipelined Reads
The GS880E18/32/36T is a DCD (Dual Cycle Deselect)
pipelined synchronous SRAM. SCD (Single Cycle Deselect)
versions are also available. DCD SRAMs pipeline disable
commands to the same degree as read commands. DCD RAMs
hold the deselect command for one full cycle and then begin
turning off their outputs just after the second rising edge of
clock.
• Automatic power-down for portable applications

Byte Write and Global Write
Byte write operation is performed by using Byte Write enable
(BW) input combined with one or more individual byte write
signals (Bx). In addition, Global Write (GW) is available for
writing all bytes at one time, regardless of the byte write
control inputs.

Sleep Mode
Functional Description
Low power (Sleep mode) is attained through the assertion
(high) of the ZZ signal, or by stopping the clock (CK).
Memory data is retained during Sleep mode.
Applications
The GS880E18/32/36T is a 9,437,184-bit (8,388,608-bit for
x32 version) high performance synchronous SRAM with a 2-
bit burst address counter. Although of a type originally
developed for Level 2 Cache applications supporting high
performance CPUs, the device now finds application in
synchronous SRAM applications, ranging from DSP main
store to networking chip set support.
Core and Interface Voltages
The GS880E18/32/36T operates on a 3.3 V power supply, and
all inputs/outputs are 3.3 V- and 2.5 V-compatible. Separate
output power (VDDQ) pins are used to decouple output noise
from the internal circuit.
Controls
Addresses, data I/Os, chip enables (E1, E2, E3), address burst
control inputs (ADSP, ADSC, ADV) and write control inputs
(Bx, BW, GW) are synchronous and are controlled by a
positive-edge-triggered clock input (CK). Output enable (G)
and power down control (ZZ) are asynchronous inputs. Burst
cycles can be initiated with either ADSP or ADSC inputs. In
Burst mode, subsequent burst addresses are generated
internally and are controlled by ADV. The burst address
counter may be configured to count in either linear or
