SigmaQuad Family Overview
The GSQ8342Q08/09/18/36AE are built in compliance with
the SigmaQuad-II SRAM pinout standard for Separate I/O
synchronous SRAMs. They are 37,748,736-bit (36Mb)
SRAMs. The GSQ8342Q08/09/18/36AE SigmaQuad SRAMs
are just one element in a family of low power, low voltage
HSTL I/O SRAMs designed to operate at the speeds needed to
implement economical high performance networking systems.
Clocking and Addressing Schemes
The GSQ8342Q08/09/18/36AE SigmaQuad-II SRAMs are
synchronous devices. They employ two input register clock
inputs, K and K. K and K are independent single-ended clock
inputs, not differential inputs to a single differential clock input
buffer. The device also allows the user to manipulate the
output register clock quasi independently with the C and C
clock inputs. C and C are also independent single-ended clock
inputs, not differential inputs. If the C clocks are tied high, the
K clocks are routed internally to fire the output registers
instead.
Because Separate I/O SigmaQuad-II B2 RAMs always transfer
data in two packets, A0 is internally set to 0 for the first read or
write transfer, and automatically incremented by 1 for the next
transfer. Because the LSB is tied off internally, the address
field of a SigmaQuad-II B2 RAM is always one address pin
less than the advertised index depth (e.g., the 2M x 18 has a
1024K addressable index).
