Functional Description
The WCSS0418V1F is a 3.3V, 256K by 18 synchronous cache
RAM designed to interface with high-speed microprocessors
with minimum glue logic. Maximum access delay from clock
rise is 7.5 ns (117-MHz version). A 2-bit on-chip counter cap-
tures the first address in a burst and increments the address
automatically for the rest of the burst access.
The allows WCSS0418V1F both interleaved or linear burst se-
quences, selected by the MODE input pin. A HIGH selects an
interleaved burst sequence, while a LOW selects a linear burst
sequence. Burst accesses can be initiated with the Processor
Address Strobe (ADSP) or the Cache Controller Address
Strobe (ADSC) inputs. Address advancement is controlled by
the Address Advancement (ADV) input.
A synchronous self-timed write mechanism is provided to sim-
plify the write interface. A synchronous chip enable input and
an asynchronous output enable input provide easy control for
bank selection and output three-state control.

Bidirectional Data I/O lines. As inputs, they feed into an on-chip data register that is triggered by
the rising edge of CLK. As outputs, they deliver the data contained in the memory location specified

OE in conjunction with the internal control logic. When OE is asserted LOW, the pins behave as

are placed in a three-state condition. The outputs are
automatically three-stated when a WRITE cycle is detected.

Power supply inputs to the core of the device. Should be connected to 3.3V power supply.
Ground for the device. Should be connected to ground of the system.
Power supply for the I/O circuitry. Should be connected to a 2.5 or 3.3V power supply.
No connects.
Do not use pins. Should be left unconnected or tied LOW.
Single Read Accesses
A single read access is initiated when the following conditions
are satisfied at clock rise: (1) CE
1
, CE
2
, and CE
3
are all as-
serted active, and (2) ADSP or ADSC is asserted LOW (if the
access is initiated by ADSC, the write inputs must be deassert-
ed during this first cycle). The address presented to the ad-
dress inputs is latched into the address register and the burst
counter/control logic and presented to the memory core. If the
OE input is asserted LOW, the requested data will be available
at the data outputs a maximum to t
CDV
after clock rise. ADSP
is ignored if CE
1
is HIGH.
Single Write Accesses Initiated by ADSP
This access is initiated when the following conditions are sat-
isfied at clock rise: (1) CE
1
, CE
2
, and CE
3
are all asserted
active, and (2) ADSP is asserted LOW. The addresses pre-
sented are loaded into the address register and the burst
counter/control logic and delivered to the RAM core. The write
inputs (GW, BWE, and BWS
[1:0]
) are ignored during this first
clock cycle. If the write inputs are asserted active (see Write
Cycle Descriptions table for appropriate states that indicate a
write) on the next clock rise, the appropriate data will be
latched and written into the device. Byte writes are allowed.
During byte writes, BWS

while
BWS

Functional Overview
All synchronous inputs pass through input registers controlled
by the rising edge of the clock. Maximum access delay from
the clock rise (t
CDV
) is 7.5 ns (117-MHz device).
The WCSS0418V1F supports secondary cache in systems
utilizing either a linear or interleaved burst sequence. The in-
terleaved burst order supports Pentium and i486 processors.
The linear burst sequence is suited for processors that utilize
a linear burst sequence. The burst order is user selectable,
and is determined by sampling the MODE input. Accesses can
be initiated with either the Processor Address Strobe (ADSP)
or the Controller Address Strobe (ADSC). Address advance-
ment through the burst sequence is controlled by the ADV in-
put. A two-bit on-chip wraparound burst counter captures the
first address in a burst sequence and automatically increments
the address for the rest of the burst access.
Byte write operations are qualified with the Byte Write Enable
(BWE) and Byte Write Select (BW
[3:0]
) inputs. A Global Write
Enable (GW) overrides all byte write inputs and writes data to
all four bytes. All writes are simplified with on-chip synchro-
nous self-timed write circuitry.
Three synchronous Chip Selects (CE
1
, CE
2
, CE
3
) and an
asynchronous Output Enable (OE) provide for easy bank se-
lection and output three-state control. ADSP is ignored if CE
1
is HIGH.

I/Os must be three-stated prior to the presentation of data to
DQ
[15:0]
and DP
[1:0]
. As a safety precaution, the data lines are
three-stated once a write cycle is detected, regardless of the
state of OE.
Single Write Accesses Initiated by ADSC
This write access is initiated when the following conditions are
satisfied at clock rise: (1) CE
1
, CE
2
, and CE
3
are all asserted
active, (2) ADSC is asserted LOW, (3) ADSP is deasserted
HIGH, and (4) the write input signals (GW, BWE, and BWS
[1:0]
)
indicate a write access. ADSC is ignored if ADSP is active LOW.
The addresses presented are loaded into the address register,
burst counter/control logic and delivered to the RAM core. The
information presented to DQ
[15:0]
and DP
[1:0]
will be written
into the specified address location. Byte writes are allowed,
with BWS
0
controlling DQ
[7:0]
and DP
0
while BWS
1
controlling
DQ
[15:8]
and DP

. All I/Os are three-stated when a write is
detected, even a byte write. Since these are common I/O de-
vices, the asynchronous OE input signal must be deasserted
and the I/Os must be three-stated prior to the presentation of
data to DQ
[15:0]
and DP
[1:0]
. As a safety precaution, the data
lines are three-stated once a write cycle is detected, regard-
less of the state of OE.

Sleep Mode
The ZZ input pin is an asynchronous input. Asserting ZZ HIGH
places the SRAM in a power conservation “sleep” mode. Two
clock cycles are required to enter into or exit from this “sleep”
mode. While in this mode, data integrity is guaranteed. Ac-
cesses pending when entering the “sleep” mode are not con-
sidered valid nor is the completion of the operation guaran-
teed. The device must be deselected prior to entering the
“sleep” mode. CE

Burst Sequences
This family of devices provides a 2-bit wrap-around burst
counter inside the SRAM. The burst counter is fed by A
[1:0]
,
and can follow either a linear or interleaved burst order. The
burst order is determined by the state of the MODE input. A
LOW on MODE will select a linear burst sequence. A HIGH on
MODE will select an interleaved burst order. Leaving MODE
unconnected will cause the device to default to an interleaved
burst sequence.
