Description
The IBM 256K x 32 SGRAM is a high speed 8Mb
CMOS Synchronous DRAM with built-in graphics
features. It is internally configured as a dual bank
128K x 32 DRAM with a synchronous interface (all
signals are registered on the positive edge of the
clock signal CLK). Each bank is organized as 512
rows x 256 columns x 32 bits.
Read and Write operations are burst oriented;
accesses start at a selected location and continue
for a programmed number of locations. By having a
Programmable Mode Register and a Load Special
Mode Register command, the system can choose
Read or Write burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, or 8 locations
or the Full Page with Burst Termination option.
An Auto Precharge function may be enabled to pro-
vide a self-timed precharge that is initiated at the
end of the burst sequence.
The SGRAM uses an internal pipelined architecture
to achieve high speed operation, which also allows
the column address to be changed on every clock
cycle to achieve a high-speed, fully random access.
Precharging one bank while accessing the alternate
bank will hide the precharge cycles, and provide
seamless high speed random operation.
The SGRAM differs from the Synchronous DRAM
(SDRAM) by providing an 8 column Block Write
function and a Write-per-Bit (WPB) function. The
Block Write and WPB functions may be combined
with individual byte enables DQM

The part is designed to operate at 3.3V only. An
Auto Refresh mode is provided along with a power
saving Power Down mode. All inputs and outputs
are LVTTL compatible.
