Description
to perform operations on the DRAM array concur-
rent with cache reads. These operations include
new row activation, precharge, and refreshing the
DRAM array. Since new row activations can occur
during cache read cycles, it is possible for the
ESDRAM to pipeline random row reads, thus reduc-
ing the page miss latency to that of a page hit.
As a JEDEC superset standard, the Enhanced Syn-
chronous DRAM is an evolutionary modification to a
JEDEC standard 16Mbit Synchronous DRAM. The
ESDRAM incorporates changes to a standard
SDRAM which reduce the latency, increase the
bandwidth, and allow for concurrent operations to
the same bank. Even with these improvements in
performance and functionality, the Enhanced
SDRAM remains pin and command compatible with
a JEDEC standard 16Mbit SDRAM. As a result, the
ESDRAM is plug-compatible with an SDRAM and
operates like a standard SDRAM when used in an
SDRAM application.
This device is designed to comply with all JEDEC
standards set for SDRAM products, both electrically
and mechanically. All the control, address, and data
input/output circuits are synchronized with the posi-
tive edge of an externally supplied clock.
Prior to any access operation, the CAS latency,
burst length, burst sequence, and write caching pol-
icy must be programmed into the device by address
inputs A0-A11 during a Mode Register Set com-
mand cycle. The write policy is set as either Write
Transfer mode or No Write Transfer mode.
The 16Mbit Enhanced Synchronous DRAM com-
bines a fast DRAM array with an 8Kbit SRAM cache.
The DRAM array is separated into two fully indepen-
dent 8Mbit DRAM banks with 4Kbits of SRAM cache
per bank. The SRAM cache is integrated into the
DRAM array as tightly coupled row registers. The
integrated cache provides several advantages. The
first advantage is high speed random column
accesses (10ns). Another advantage is that through
the use of auto-precharge, the cache allows the user
This device supports Self Refresh mode and oper-
ates with a single 3.3V power supply. The device is
available in a 400mil TSOP Type II package.
