DRAM ADDRESS TRANSLATION
The multiplexed row/column address to the DRAM memory array is provided by the MA[11:0] signals
(MA[13:0] for SDRAM 64-Mbit support). The MA bits are derived from the host or PCI address bus as defined
by the Table 14. The MTXC supports a 2K byte page size only. The MA lines are translated from the address
lines A[26:3] for all memory accesses.

NOTES:
1.
V=Valid level (either 0 or 1) used for SDRAMs. It is 1 during the initialization sequence. It is 0 during
normal mode of operation.
2.
BA0 and BA1 are the muxed bank selects for SDRAM. Bank select BA1 is required for 64-Mbit SDRAM
support.

DRAM PAGING
If DRAMC[bit 4]=1, the MTXC keeps the page open until a page or row miss occurs. If DRAMC[bit 4]=0
(default), the DRAM page is kept open when:
CPU host bus is non-idle, or
PCI interface owns the bus.

DRAM TYPES
4.3.5.1.
FPM Mode
The MTXC, as a default, supports the standard fast page mode (FPM) DRAM.
4.3.5.2.
EDO Mode
Extended Data Out (or Hyper Page Mode) DRAM is designed to improve the DRAM read performance. EDO
DRAM holds the memory data valid until the next CAS# falling edge. Compared to standard page mode
DRAM which tri-states the memory data when CAS# negates to precharge. With EDO, the CAS# precharge
overlaps the memory data valid time. This allows CAS# to negate earlier while still satisfying the memory
data valid window time.
4.3.5.3.
SDRAM Mode
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) implements a fully synchronous interface as compared to a conventional
DRAM whose timing delays are related to the rising and falling edges of the RAS#, CAS#, and WE# input
signals. The 430TX supports all of the features and timings as shown in the “SDRAM PC” specification. The
objective of the
SDRAM
PC Specification is to enable low cost and easily manufacturable SDRAMs for the
main stream volume desktop and Mobile PC’s. There are three grade parts defined for the 430TX. All of the
