DESCRIPTION
The OKI MSM518222 is a high performance 2-Mbit, 256K ¥ 8-bit, Field Memory. It is designed for
high-speedserialaccessapplicationssuchasHDTVs,conventionalNTSCTVs,VTRs,digitalmovies
andMulti-mediasystems. The2-MbitcapacityfitsonefieldofaconventionalNTSCTVscreen. Two

directly without any delay devices between them. (Cascading provides larger storage depth or a
longer delay).
Each of the 8-bit planes has separate serial write and read ports. These employ independent control
clockstosupportasynchronousreadandwriteoperations. Differentclockratesarealsosupported,
which allow alternate data rates between write and read data streams.
TheMSM518222provideshighspeedFIFO,First-InFirst-Out,operationwithoutexternalrefreshing:
it refreshes its DRAM storage cells automatically, so that it appears fully static to the users.
Moreover, fully static type memory cells and decoders for serial access enable the refresh free serial
access operation, so that serial read and/or write control clock can be halted high or low for any
durationaslongasthepowerison. Internalconflictsofmemoryaccessandrefreshingoperations
are prevented by special arbitration logic.
The MSM518222's function is simple and similar to a digital delay device whose delay-bit-length is
easily set by reset timing. The delay length, and the number of read delay clocks between write and
read, is determined by externally controlled write and read reset timings.

first-bit-access with no clock delay just after the write or read reset timings.
TheMSM518222issimilarinoperationandfunctionalitytoOKI1-MbitFieldMemoryMSM514221B,

Memory, OKI has the MSM518221 which is a sister device of MSM518222).
Additionally,theMSM518222hasawritemaskfunctionorinputenablefunction(IE),andread-data
skippingfunctionoroutputenablefunction(OE). Thedifferencesbetweenwriteenable(WE)and
inputenable(IE),andbetweenreadenable(RE)andoutputenable(OE)arethatWEandREcanstop
serial write/read address increments, but IE and OE cannot stop the increment, when write/read
clocking is continuously applied to MSM518222. The input enable (IE) function allows the user to
writeintoselectedlocationsofthememoryonly,leavingtherestofthememorycontentsunchanged.
This facilitates data processing to display a "picture in picture" on a TV screen.
