SigmaQuad-II B2 SRAM DDR Write

The write port samples the status of the W pin at each rising edge of K and the Address Input pins on the following rising edge of

K. A low on the Write Enable-bar pin, W, begins a write cycle. The first of the data-in pairs associated with the write command is

clocked in with the same rising edge of K used to capture the write command. The second of the two data in transfers is captured on

the rising edge of K along with the write address. Clocking in a high on W causes a write port deselect cycle.

Special Functions

Byte Write and Nybble Write Control

Byte Write Enable pins are sampled at the same time that Data In is sampled. A high on the Byte Write Enable pin associated with

a particular byte (e.g., BW0 controls D0–D8 inputs) will inhibit the storage of that particular byte, leaving whatever data may be

stored at the current address at that byte location undisturbed. Any or all of the Byte Write Enable pins may be driven high or low

during the data in sample times in a write sequence.

Each write enable command and write address loaded into the RAM provides the base address for a 2 beat data transfer. The x18

version of the RAM, for example, may write 36 bits in association with each address loaded. Any 9-bit byte may be masked in any

write sequence.

Nybble Write (4-bit) control is implemented on the 8-bit-wide version of the device. For the x8 version of the device, “Nybble

Write Enable” and “NBx” may be substituted in all the discussion above.
