Description
The Enhanced Memory Systems 4Mb EDRAMcombines rawspeed
wth innovative architecture to offer the optimumcost-performance
solution for high performance local or main memory in computer and
embedded control systems. In most high speed applications, zero-wait-
state operation can be achieved wthout secondary SRAMcache for
systemclock speeds of up to 100MHz wthout interleaving or 132MHz
wth two-way interleaving. The EDRAMoutperforms conventional SRAM
cache plus DRAMor synchronous DRAMmemory systems by
mnimzing wait states on initial reads (hit or mss) and by elimnating
writeback delays. Architectural simlarity wth JEDEC DRAMs allows a
single memory controller design to support either slowJEDEC DRAMs
or high speed EDRAMs. A systemdesigned in this manner can provide
a simple upgrade path to higher systemperformance.
The 512K x 8 EDRAMhas a control and address interface
compatible wth the Enhanced 4Mx 1 and 1Mx 4 EDRAMproducts
so that EDRAMs of different organizations can be supported wth the
same controller design. The 512K x 8 EDRAMimplements the
followng additional features which can be supported on newdesigns:
I
On-chip Cache Hit/Mss Comparators Automatically Maintain Cache
Coherency Wthout External Cache Control
I
Output Latch Enable Allows Extended Data Output (EDO) for
Faster SystemOperation
I
Hidden Precharge and Refresh Cycles
I
Write-per-bit Option (DM2233) for Parity and Video Applications
I
Extended 64ms Refresh Period for LowStandby Power
I
LowProfile 300-Ml 44-Pin TSOP-II Package
I
Industrial Temperature Range Option
I
An optional synchronous burst mode for 100MHz burst transfers
or 132MHz two-way interleaved burst transfers.
I
A controllable output latch provides an extended data (EDO)
mode.
I
Cache size is increased from2Kbits to 8Kbits. The 8Kbit cache is
organized as four 256 x 8 direct mapped rowregisters. All row
registers can be accessed wthout clocking /RE.
I
Concurrent randompage write and cache reads fromfour cache
pages allows fast page-to-page move or read-modify-write cycles.
Archtecture
The EDRAMarchitectureincludes an integrated SRAMcache
which operates much like a page mode or static column DRAM
The EDRAMs SRAMcache is integrated into the DRAMarray as
tightly coupled rowregisters. The 512K x 8 EDRAMhas a total of four
independent DRAMmemory banks each wth its own 256 x 8 SRAM
rowregister. Memory reads always occur fromthe cache rowregister
of one of these banks as specified by column address bits A
