The GS8672D19/37AE SigmaQuad-II+ ECCRAMs 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.
Because Separate I/O SigmaQuad-II+ B4 RAMs always
transfer data in four packets, A0 and A1 are internally set to 0
for the first read or write transfer, and automatically
incremented by 1 for the next transfers. Because the LSBs are
tied off internally, the address field of a SigmaQuad-II+ B4
RAM is always two address pins less than the advertised index
depth (e.g., the 4M x 18 has a 1M addressable index).
On-Chip Error Correction Code
GSI's ECCRAMs implement an ECC algorithm that detects
and corrects all single-bit memory errors, including those
induced by Soft Error Rate (SER) events such as cosmic rays,
alpha particles. The resulting SER of these devices is
anticipated to be <0.002 FITs/Mb — a 5-order-of-magnitude
improvement over comparable ECCRAMs with no On-Chip
ECC, which typically have an SER of 200 FITs/Mb or more.
SER quoted above is based on reading taken at sea level.
However, the On-Chip Error Correction (ECC) will be
disabled if a “Half Write” operation is initiated. See the
Byte
Write Contol
section for further information.
SigmaQuad™ ECCRAM Overview
The GS8672D19/37AE are built in compliance with the
SigmaQuad-II+ ECCRAM pinout standard for Separate I/O
synchronous ECCRAMs. They are 75,497,472-bit (72Mb)
ECCRAMs. The GS8672D19/37AE SigmaQuad ECCRAMs
are just one element in a family of low power, low voltage
HSTL I/O ECCRAMs designed to operate at the speeds needed
to implement economical high performance networking
systems.

Background
Separate I/O SRAMs, from a system architecture point of view, are attractive in applications where alternating reads and writes are
needed. Therefore, the SigmaQuad-II+ ECCRAM interface and truth table are optimized for alternating reads and writes. Separate
I/O ECCRAMs are unpopular in applications where multiple reads or multiple writes are needed because burst read or write
transfers from Separate I/O ECCRAMs can cut the RAM’s bandwidth in half.
Alternating Read-Write Operations
SigmaQuad-II+ ECCRAMs follow a few simple rules of operation.
- Read or Write commands issued on one port are never allowed to interrupt an operation in progress on the other port.
- Read or Write data transfers in progress may not be interrupted and re-started.
- R and W high always deselects the RAM.
- All address, data, and control inputs are sampled on clock edges.
In order to enforce these rules, each RAM combines present state information with command inputs. See the
Truth Table
for
details.
SigmaQuad-II+ B4 ECCRAM DDR Read
The status of the Address Input, W, and R pins are sampled by the rising edges of K. W and R high causes chip disable. A low on
the Read Enable-bar pin, R, begins a read cycle. R is always ignored if the previous command loaded was a read command.
Clocking in a high on the Read Enable-bar pin, R, begins a read port deselect cycle.
SigmaQuad-II+ B4 ECCRAM DDR Write
The status of the Address Input, W, and R pins are sampled by the rising edges of K. W and R high causes chip disable. A low on
the Write Enable-bar pin, W, and a high on the Read Enable-bar pin, R, begins a write cycle. W is always ignored if the previous
command was a write command. Data is clocked in by the next rising edge of K, the rising edge of K after that, the next rising edge
of K, and finally by the next rising edge of K. and by the rising edge of the K that follows.
