Mode Control
Mode control pins M1 and M2 are used to select four different read protocols:
• Single clock, flow-through (M1 = VSS, M2 = VSS)
• Pipeline (M1 = VSS, M2 = VDD)
• Register-latch (M1 = VDD, M2 = VSS)
• Dual clock, flow-through (M1 = VDD, M2 = VDD)
This datasheet only describes pipeline functionality. Mode control inputs must be set at power-up, and must
not change during SRAM operation.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is enabled by switching the asynchronous signal, ZZ, to high. When the SRAM is in sleep mode,
the outputs go to a High-Z state, and the SRAM draws standby current. SRAM data is preserved, and a
recovery time (tZZR) is required before the SRAM resumes normal operation.
Programmable Impedance/Power Up Requirements
An external resistor, RQ, must be connected between the ZQ pin on the SRAM and VSS to allow the SRAM to
adjust its output driver impedance. The value of RQ must be five times the value of the intended line imped-
ance driven by the SRAM. The allowable range of RQ to guarantee impedance matching with a tolerance of
15% is between 175Ω and 350Ω. Periodic readjustment of the output driver impedance is necessary because
the impedance is affected by drifts in supply voltage and temperature. One evaluation occurs every 64 clock
cycles, and each evaluation may move the output driver impedance level, one step at a time, towards the
optimum level. The output driver has 64 discrete binary weighted steps. Impedance updates for zeros occur
whenever the SRAM is driving ones for the same DQs; impedance updates for ones occur whenever SRAM
is driving zeros for the same DQs. Updates of both zeros and ones occur when the SRAM is in a High-Z
state. The SRAM requires 4µs of power-up time after VDD reaches its operating range. Furthermore, to guar-
antee the output driver impedance, the SRAM requires 2048 clock cycles and a Read '0' and Read '1' or a
Read '1' and a Read '0' across all outputs. The RC time constant of the loaded RQ trace must be less than
3ns.
Power-Up/Power-Down Sequence
The power supplies need to be powered up in the following sequence: VDD, VDDQ, VREF, followed by inputs.
The power down sequence must be the reverse. VDDQ must not exceed VDD.
