N01L163WN1A
1Mb Ultra-Low Power Asynchronous CMOS SRAM
64K × 16 bit
Overview
The N01L163WN1A is an integrated memory
device containing a 1 Mbit Static Random Access
Memory organized as 65,536 words by 16 bits. The
device is designed and fabricated using AMI
Semiconductor’s advanced CMOS technology to
provide both high-speed performance and ultra-low
power. The device operates with a single chip
enable (CE) control and output enable (OE) to
allow for easy memory expansion. Byte controls
(UB and LB) allow the upper and lower bytes to be
accessed independently. The N01L163WN1A is
optimal for various applications where low-power is
critical such as battery backup and hand-held
devices. The device can operate over a very wide
temperature range of -40
o
C to +85
o
C and is
available in JEDEC standard packages compatible
with other standard 64Kb x 16 SRAMs.

A
=25°C and are not 100% tested.
2. This parameter is specified with the outputs disabled to avoid external loading effects. The user must add current required to drive
output capacitance expected in the actual system.
3. This device assumes a standby mode if the chip is disabled (CE high). In order to achieve low standby current all inputs must be
within 0.2 volts of either VCC or VSS

Note: Page mode operation is a method of addressing the SRAM to save operating current. The internal
organization of the SRAM is optimized to allow this unique operating mode to be used as a valuable power
saving feature.
The only thing that needs to be done is to address the SRAM in a manner that the internal page is left open
and 16-bit words of data are read from the open page. By treating addresses A0-A3 as the least significant
bits and addressing the 16 words within the open page, power is reduced to the page mode value which is
considerably lower than standard operating currents for low power SRAMs.
