Description

The AS7C331MNTF18A family is a high performance CMOS 16 Mbit synchronous Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) organized as 1,048,576 words × 18 bits and incorporates a LATE Write.

This variation of the 16Mb+ synchronous SRAM uses the No Turnaround Delay (NTD™) architecture, featuring an enhanced write operation of AS7C331MNTF18A that improves bandwidth over flowthrough burst devices. In a normal flowthrough burst device, the write data, command, and address are all applied to the device on the same clock edge. If a read command follows this write command, the system of AS7C331MNTF18A must wait for one 'dead' cycle for valid data to become available.
This dead cycle can significantly reduce overall bandwidth for applications requiring random access or read-modify-write operations.

NTD™ AS7C331MNTF18A devices use the memory bus more efficiently by introducing a write latency which matches the one-cycle flowthrough read latency. Write data is applied one cycle after the write command and address, allowing the read pipeline to clear. With NTD™, write and read operations can be used in any order without producing dead bus cycle. Assert R/W low to perform write cycles. Byte write enable controls write access to specific bytes, or can be tied low for full 18 bit writes. Write enable signals, along with the write address, are registered on a rising edge of the clock. Write data of AS7C331MNTF18A is applied to the device one clock cycle later. Unlike some asynchronous SRAMs, output enable OE does not need to be toggled for write operations; it can be tied low for normal operations. Outputs go to a high impedance state when the device is de-selected by any of the three chip enable inputs.

Use the ADV (burst advance) input to perform burst read, write and deselect operations. When ADV AS7C331MNTF18A is high, external addresses, chip select, R/W pins are ignored, and internal address counters increment in the count sequence specified by the LBO control. Any device operations, including burst, can be stalled using the CEN=1, the clock enable input.

The AS7C331MNTF18A operates with a 3.3V ± 5% power supply for the device core (V_DD). DQ circuits use a separate power supply (V_DDQ) that operates across 3.3V or 2.5V ranges. These devices are available in a 100-pin TQFP package.
