GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AS5SS256K36 employs high-speed, low-power CMOS
designs that are fabricated using an advanced CMOS process.
This 8Mb Synchronous Burst SRAM integrates a 256K x 36
SRAM core with advanced synchronous peripheral circuitry and a 2-bit
burst counter. All synchronous inputs pass through registers controlled
by a positive-edge-triggered single-clock input (CLK). The synchro-
nous inputs include all addresses, all data inputs, active LOW chip en-
able (CE\), two additional chip enables for easy depth expansion (CE2\,
CE2), burst control inputs (ADSC\, ADSP\, ADV\), byte write enables
(BWx\) and global write (GW\). Note that CE2\ is not available on the
A version.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
Asynchronous inputs include the output enable (OE\),
clock (CLK) and snooze enable (ZZ). There is also a burst
mode input (MODE) that selects between interleaved and lin-
ear burst modes. The data-out (Q), enabled by OE\, is also
asynchronous. WRITE cycles can be from one to four bytes
wide as controlled by the write control inputs.
Burst operation can be initiated with either address
status processor (ADSP\) or address status controller (ADSC\)
inputs. Subsequent burst addresses can be internally gener-
ated as controlled by the burst advance input (ADV\).
Address and write control are registered on-chip to
AS5SS256K36 &
AS5SS256K36A
SSRAM
simplify WRITE cycles. This allows self-timed WRITE cycles.
Individual byte enables allow individual bytes to be written.
During WRITE cycles on the x18 device, BWa\ controls DQa’s
and DQPa; BWb\ controls DQb’s and DQPb; BWc\ controls
DQc’s and DQPc; BWd\ controls DQd’s and DQPd. GW\ LOW
causes all bytes to be written. Parity bits are also featured on
this device.
This 8Mb Synchronous Burst SRAM operates from a
+3.3V V
DD
power supply, and all inputs and outputs are TTL-
compatible. The device is ideally suited for 486, Pentium
©
, 680x0
and PowerPC
TM
systems and those systems that benefit from a
wide synchronous data bus.

Output Enable: This active LOW, asynchronous input enables the data

Synchronous Address Advance: This active LOW input is used to
advance the internal burst counter, controlling burst access after the
external address is loaded. A HIGH on this pin effectively causes wait
Input
states to be generated (no address advance). To ensure use of correct
address during a WRITE cycle, ADV\ must be HIGH at the rising edge of
the first clock after an ADSP\ cycle is initiated.
Synchronous Address Status Controller: This active LOW input
interrupts any ongoing burst, causing a new external address to be
Input registered. A READ or WRITE is performed using the new address if
CE\ is LOW. ADSC\ is also used to place the chip into power-down state
when CE\ is HIGH.

Synchronous Address Status Processor: This active LOW inputs
interrupts any ongoing burst, causing a new external address to be
registered. A READ is performed using the new address, independent of
Input
the byte write enables and ADSC\, but dependent upon CE\, CE2 and
CE2\. ADSP\ is ignored if CE\ is HIGH. Power-down state is entered if
CE2 is LOW or CE2\ is HIGH.
MODE: This inputs selects the burst sequence. A LOW on this pin
Input select "linear burst." NC or HIGH on this pin selects "interleaved burst."
Do not alter input state while device is operating.
Snooze Enable: This active HIGH, asynchronous input causes the
device to enter a low-power standby mode in which all data in the
Input
memory array is retained. When ZZ is active, all other inputs are
ignored.
