DESCRIPTION
The Synergy SY10/100/101422 are 1024-bit Random
Access Memories (RAMs), designed with advanced Emitter
Coupled Logic (ECL) circuitry. The devices are organized
as 256-words-by-4-bits and meet the standard 10K/100K
family signal levels. The SY100422 is also supply voltage-
compatible with 100K ECL, while the SY101422 operates
from 10K ECL supply voltage (–5.2V). All feature on-chip
voltage and temperature compensation for improved noise
margin.
The SY10/100/101422 employ proprietary circuit design
techniques and Synergy’s proprietary ASSET advanced
bipolar technology to achieve extremely fast access, write
pulse width and write recovery times. ASSET uses
proprietary technology concepts to achieve significant
reduction in parasitic capacitance while improving device
packing density. Synergy’s circuit design techniques, coupled
with ASSET, result not only in ultra-fast performance, but
also allow device operation at reduced power levels with
virtually no soft error sensitivity and with outstanding device
reliability in volume production.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Synergy SY10/100/101422 are 1024-bit RAMs
organized as four 256-by-1-bit blocks with each block having
its own Block Select (BS) control signal that functions
essentially like a unique chip select for the Block. The four
blocks and Block Selects together make the device a 256 x
4-bit RAM. Memory cell selection is achieved by using the
8 address bits designated as A
0
through A
7
. Each of the 2
8
possible input address combinations corresponds to a unique
word location in memory. The active low Block Select (BS)
control signals are provided for memory expansion and for
independent control of each of the four 256 x 1-bit blocks of
memory. The active low Write Enable (WE) controls the
read and write operation on the selected block or blocks.
Data resident on the D
IN
inputs (DI
0
through DI
3
) is written
into the addressed location only when WE and the Block
Select (BS) associated with each of the D
IN
bits is held
LOW. This allows control of the Write operation to any one,
two, three or all four of the input data bits. In order to
perform a read operation, WE is held high, the Block Select
(BS) associated with each of the four output blocks is held
low, and the non-inverted output data at the addressed
location is transferred to D
OUT
(DO
0
through DO
3
) to be
read out. This allows control of the Read operation to any
one, two, three or all four of the output blocks. Open emitter
outputs are provided for maximum flexibility and memory
expansion by allowing output wire-OR connections. External
termination of 50Ω to –2.0V or an equivalent circuit must be
used to provide the specified output levels.
All outputs are forced to a logic LOW level when the
RAM is being written into (WE = LOW). The output (or
outputs) associated with a block (or blocks) of memory can
be forced to a logic LOW low level by deselecting that block
(or blocks) with its respective Block Select input (BS
0
– BS
3
= HIGH).
