Notes:
1. An initial pause of 200 μs is required after power-up followed by eight 
RAS
 refresh cycle (
RAS
-Only or CBR) before proper device
operation is assured. The eight 
RAS
 cycles wake-up should be repeated any time the t
REF
 refresh requirement is exceeded.
2. V
IH
 (MIN) and V
IL
 (MAX) are reference levels for measuring timing of input signals. Transition times, are measured between V
IH
and V
IL
 (or between V
IL
 and V
IH
) and assume to be 1 ns for all inputs.
3. In addition to meeting the transition rate specification, all input signals must transit between V
IH
 and V
IL
 (or between V
IL
 and V
IH
)
in a monotonic manner.
4. If 
CAS
 and 
RAS
 = V
IH
, data output is High-Z.
5. If 
CAS
 = V
IL
, data output may contain data from the last valid READ cycle.
6. Measured with a load equivalent to one TTL gate and 50 pF.
7. Assumes that t
RCD
≤
 t
RCD
 (MAX). If t
RCD
 is greater than the maximum recommended value shown in this table, t
RAC
 will increase
by the amount that t
RCD
 exceeds the value shown.
8. Assumes that t
RCD
≥
 t
RCD
 (MAX).
9. If 
CAS
 is LOW at the falling edge of 
RAS
, data out will be maintained from the previous cycle. To initiate a new cycle and clear the
data output buffer, 
CAS
 and 
RAS
 must be pulsed for t
CP
.
10. Operation with the t
RCD
 (MAX) limit ensures that t
RAC
 (MAX) can be met. t
RCD
 (MAX) is specified as a reference point only; if t
RCD
is greater than the specified t
RCD
 (MAX) limit, access time is controlled exclusively by t
CAC
.
11. Operation within the t
RAD
 (MAX) limit ensures that t
RCD
 (MAX) can be met. t
RAD
 (MAX) is specified as a reference point only; if t
RAD
is greater than the specified t
RAD
 (MAX) limit, access time is controlled exclusively by t
AA
.
12. Either t
RCH
 or t
RRH
 must be satisfied for a READ cycle.
13. t
OFF
 (MAX) defines the time at which the output achieves the open circuit condition; it is  not a reference to V
OH
 or V
OL
.
14. t
WCS
, t
RWD
, t
AWD
 and t
CWD
 are restrictive operating parameters in LATE WRITE and READ-MODIFY-WRITE cycle only. If t
WCS
≥
 t
WCS
(MIN), the cycle is an EARLY WRITE cycle and the data output will remain open circuit throughout the entire cycle. If t
RWD
≥
 t
RWD
(MIN), t
AWD
≥
 t
AWD
 (MIN) and t
CWD
≥
 t
CWD
 (MIN), the cycle is a READ-WRITE cycle and the data output will contain data read from
the selected cell. If neither of the above conditions is met, the state of I/O (at access time and until 
CAS
 and 
RAS
 or 
OE
 go back
to V
IH
) is indeterminate. 
OE
 held HIGH and 
WE
 taken LOW after 
CAS
 goes LOW result in a LATE WRITE (
OE
-controlled) cycle.
15. Output parameter (I/O) is referenced to corresponding 
CAS
 input, I/O0-I/O7 by 
LCAS
 and I/O8-I/O15 by 
UCAS
.
16. During a READ cycle, if 
OE
 is LOW then taken HIGH before 
CAS
 goes HIGH, I/O goes open. If 
OE
 is tied permanently LOW, a LATE
WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE is not possible.
17. Write command is defined as 
WE
 going low.
18. LATE WRITE and READ-MODIFY-WRITE cycles must have both t
OD
 and t
OEH
 met (
OE
 HIGH during WRITE cycle) in order to ensure
that the output buffers will be open during the WRITE cycle. The I/Os will provide the previously written data if 
CAS
 remains LOW
and 
OE
 is taken back to LOW after t
OEH
 is met.
19. The I/Os are in open during READ cycles once t
OD
 or t
OFF
 occur.
20. The first 
χ
CAS
 edge to transition LOW.
21. The last 
χ
CAS
 edge to transition HIGH.
22. These parameters are referenced to 
CAS
 leading edge in EARLY WRITE cycles and 
WE
 leading edge in LATE WRITE or READ-
MODIFY-WRITE cycles.
23. Last falling 
χ
CAS
 edge to first rising 
χ
CAS
 edge.
24. Last rising 
χ
CAS
 edge to next cycle’s last rising 
χ
CAS
 edge.
25. Last rising 
χ
CAS
 edge to first falling 
χ
CAS
 edge.
26. Each 
χ
CAS
 must meet minimum pulse width.
27. Last 
χ
CAS
 to go LOW.
28. I/Os controlled, regardless 
UCAS
 and 
LCAS
.
29. The 3 ns minimum is a parameter guaranteed by design.
30. Enables on-chip refresh and address counters.
