Overview
The VG4616321(2) SGRAM is a high-speed CMOS synchronous graphics RAM containing 16M bits. It
is internally configured as a dual 256K x 32 DRAM with a synchronous interface (all signals are registered on
the positive edge of the clock signal, CLK). Each of the 256K x 32 bit banks is organized as 1024 rows by
256 columns by 32 bits. Read and write accesses to the SGRAM are burst oriented; accesses start at a
selected location and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence. Accesses
begin with the registration of a BankActivate command which is then followed by a Read or Write command.
The VG4616321(2) provides for programmable Read or Write burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, 8, or full page,
with burst termination option. An Auto Precharge function may be enabled to provide a self-timed row pre-
charge that is initiated at the end of the burst sequence. The refresh functions, either Auto or Self Refresh
are easy to use. In addition, it features the write per bit and the masked block write functions.
By having a programmable Mode register and special mode register, the system can choose the best
suitable modes to maximize its performance. These devices are well suited for applications requiring high
memory bandwidth, and when combined with special graphics functions result in a device particularly well
suited to high performance graphics applications.
