Functional Description
Because SigmaRAMs are synchronous devices, address, data
inputs, and read/write control inputs are captured on the rising
edge of the input clock. Write cycles are internally self-timed
and initiated by the rising edge of the clock input. This feature
eliminates complex off-chip write pulse generation required by
asynchronous SRAMs and simplifies input signal timing.
A
ΣRAM
may be configured by the user to read in Pipeline or
Flow Through mode. In Pipeline mode, single data rate
ΣRAMs
incorporate a rising-edge-triggered output register.
For read cycles, a pipelined SRAM’s output data is staged at
the input of an edge-triggered output register during the access
cycle and then released to the output drivers at the next rising
edge of clock.
GS817x18/36/72B
ΣRAMs
are implemented with GSI's high
performance CMOS technology and are packaged in a 209-
bump BGA.
SigmaRAM Family Overview
GS8170S18/36/72 SigmaRAMs are built in compliance with
the SigmaRAM pinout standard for synchronous SRAMs.
They are 18,874,368-bit (18Mb) SRAMs. These are the first in
a family of wide, very low voltage CMOS I/O SRAMs
designed to operate at the speeds needed to implement
economical high performance networking systems.
GSI's
ΣRAMs
are offered in a number of configurations that
emulate other synchronous SRAMs, such as Burst RAMs,
NBT, Late Write, or Double Data Rate (DDR) SRAMs. The
logical differences between the protocols employed by these
RAMs hinge mainly on various combinations of address
bursting, output data registering and write cueing. The
ΣRAM
™
family standard allows a user to implement the
interface protocol best suited to the task at hand.
