Description
Input clock: This input clock pair registers address and control inputs on the rising edge of K, and
registers data on the rising edge of K and the rising edge of K#. K# is ideally 180 degrees out of
phase with K. All synchronous inputs must meet setup and hold times around the clock rising edges.
These balls cannot remain VREF level.
Input clock for output data. C and C# are used to clock out the READ data. They can be used
together to deskew the flight times of various devices on the board back to the controller. See
application example for further details.
Synchronous echo clock outputs: The edges of these outputs are tightly matched to the
synchronous data outputs and can be used as a data valid indication. These signals are free running
clocks and do not stop when Q tri-states.
DLL disable and reset input : when low, this input causes the DLL to be bypassed and reset the
previous DLL information. When high, DLL will start operating and lock the frequency after tCK lock
time. The device behaves in one read latency mode when the DLL is turned off. In this mode, the
device can be operated at a frequency of up to 167 MHz.
Synchronous address inputs: These inputs are registered and must meet the setup and hold times
around the rising edge of K. These inputs are ignored when device is deselected.
Synchronous data inputs: Input data must meet setup and hold times around the rising edges of K
and K# during WRITE operations. See BALL CONFIGURATION figures for ball site location of
individual signals.
The x18 device uses D0~D17. D18~D35 should be treated as NC pin.
The x36 device uses D0~D35.
Synchronous data outputs: Output data is synchronized to the respective C and C#, or to the
respective K and K# if C and /C are tied to high. This bus operates in response to R# commands.
See BALL CONFIGURATION figures for ball site location of individual signals.
The x18 device uses Q0~Q17. Q18~Q35 should be treated as NC pin.
The x36 device uses Q0~Q35.
Synchronous write: When low, this input causes the address inputs to be registered and a WRITE
cycle to be initiated. This input must meet setup and hold times around the rising edge of K.
Synchronous read: When low, this input causes the address inputs to be registered and a READ
cycle to be initiated. This input must meet setup and hold times around the rising edge of K.
Synchronous byte writes: When low, these inputs cause their respective byte to be registered and
written during WRITE cycles. These signals are sampled on the same edge as the corresponding
data and must meet setup and hold times around the rising edges of K and #K for each of the two
rising edges comprising the WRITE cycle. See Write Truth Table for signal to data relationship.
HSTL input reference voltage: Nominally VDDQ/2, but may be adjusted to improve system noise
margin. Provides a reference voltage for the HSTL input buffers.
Power supply: 1.8 V nominal. See DC Characteristics and Operating Conditions for range.
Power supply: Isolated output buffer supply. Nominally 1.5 V. See DC Characteristics and Operating
Conditions for range.
Ground of the device
Output impedance matching input: This input is used to tune the device outputs to the system data
bus impedance. Q and CQ output impedance are set to 0.2xRQ, where RQ is a resistor from this
ball to ground. This ball can be connected directly to VDDQ, which enables the minimum impedance
mode. This ball cannot be connected directly to VSS or left unconnected.
IEEE1149.1 input pins for JTAG.
IEEE1149.1 output pins for JTAG.
No connect: These signals should be left floating or connected to ground to improve package heat
dissipation.

Read Operations
The SRAM operates continuously in a burst-of-four mode. Read cycles are started by registering R# in active low state
at the rising edge of the K clock. R# can be activated every other cycle because two full cycles are required to
complete the burst of four in DDR mode. A second set of clocks, C and C#, are used to control the timing to the
outputs. A set of free-running echo clocks, CQ and CQ#, are produced internally with timings identical to the data-outs.
The echo clocks can be used as data capture clocks by the receiver device.
When the C and C# clocks are connected high, then the K and K# clocks assume the function of those clocks. In this
case, the data corresponding to the first address is clocked one and half cycles later by the rising edge of the K# clock.
The data corresponding to the second burst is clocked two cycles later by the following rising edge of the K clock. The
third data-out is clocked by the subsequent rising edge of the K# clock, and the fourth data-out is clocked by the
subsequent rising edge of the K clock.
A NOP operation (R# is high) does not terminate the previous read.
Write Operations
Write operations can also be initiated at every other rising edge of the K clock whenever W# is low. The write address
is provided simultaneously. Again, the write always occurs in bursts of four.
The write data is provided in a ‘late write’ mode; that is, the data-in corresponding to the first address of the burst, is
presented one cycle later or at the rising edge of the following K clock. The data-in corresponding to the second write
burst address follows next, registered by the rising edge of K#. The third data-in is clocked by the subsequent rising
edge of the K clock, and the fourth data-in is clocked by the subsequent rising edge of the K# clock.

IS61QDB42M18A
IS61QDB41M36A
The data-in provided for writing is initially kept in write buffers. The information in these buffers is written into the array
on the third write cycle. A read cycle to the last two write addresses produces data from the write buffers. The SRAM
maintains data coherency.
During a write, the byte writes independently control which byte of any of the four burst addresses is written (see
X18/X36 Write Truth Tables
and
Timing Reference Diagram for Truth Table).
Whenever a write is disabled (W# is high at the rising edge of K), data is not written into the memory.
RQ Programmable Impedance
An external resistor, RQ, must be connected between the ZQ pin on the SRAM and V
SS
to enable the SRAM to adjust
its output driver impedance. The value of RQ must be 5x the value of the intended line impedance driven by the
SRAM. For example, an RQ of 250Ω results in a driver impedance of 50Ω. The allowable range of RQ to guarantee
impedance matching is between 175Ω and 350Ω at V
DDQ
=1.5V. The RQ resistor should be placed less than two inches
away from the ZQ ball on the SRAM module. The capacitance of the loaded ZQ trace must be less than 7.5pF.
The ZQ pin can also be directly connected to V
DDQ
to obtain a minimum impedance setting. ZQ should not be
connected to V
SS
.
Programmable Impedance and Power-Up Requirements
Periodic readjustment of the output driver impedance is necessary as the impedance is greatly affected by drifts in
supply voltage and temperature. During power-up, the driver impedance is in the middle of allowable impedances
values. The final impedance value is achieved within 1024 clock cycles.
Clock Consideration
This device uses an internal DLL for maximum output data valid window. It can be placed in a stopped-clock mode to
minimize power and requires only 1024 cycles to restart.
No clocks can be issued until V
DD
reaches its allowable operating range.
Single Clock Mode
This device can be also operated in single-clock mode. In this case, C and C# are both connected high at power-up
and must never change. K and K# must be held logically High or Low at power on. In single clock mode, the
output is controlled by K and K#.
Either clock pair must have both polarities switching and must never connect to V
REF
, as they are not differential
clocks.
Depth Expansion
Separate input and output ports enable easy depth expansion, as each port can be selected and deselected
independently. Read and write operations can occur simultaneously without affecting each other. Also, all pending
read and write transactions are always completed prior to deselecting the corresponding port.
Delay Locked Loop (DLL)
Delay Locked Loop (DLL) is a new system to align the output data coincident with clock rising or falling edge to
enhance the output valid timing characteristics. It is locked to the clock frequency and is constantly adjusted to match
the clock frequency. Therefore device can have stable output over the temperature and voltage variation.
DLL has a limitation of locking range and jitter adjustment which are specified as tKHKH and tKCvar respectively in the
AC timing characteristics. In order to turn this feature off, applying logic low to the Doff# pin will bypass this. In the DLL
off mode, the device behaves with one cycle latency and a longer access time which is known in DDR-I or legacy
