NOTES: (continued)
11. VIH (min) and VIL (max) are reference levels for measuring timing of input signals. T ransition times are measured between VIH and VIL.
12.An initial pause of 200 µs is required after power–up followed by 8 RAS cycles before proper device operation is guaranteed.
13.The transition time specification applies for all input signals. In addition to meeting the transition rate specification, all input signals must
transition between VIH and VIL (or between VIL and VIH) in a monotonic manner.
14.AC measurements tT = 5.0 ns.
15.The specification for tRC (min) is used only to indicate cycle time at which proper operation over the full temperature range (0°C TA 70°C)
is ensured.
16.Measured with a current load equivalent to 2 TTL (– 200 µA, + 4 mA) loads and 100 pF with the data output trip points set at VOH = 2.0 V
and VOL = 0.8 V.
17.Assumes that tRCD tRCD (max).
18.Assumes that tRCD tRCD (max).
19.Assumes that tRAD tRAD (max).
10.tOFF (max) defines the time at which the output achieves the open circuit condition and is not referenced to output voltage levels.
11. Operation within the tRCD (max) limit ensures that tRAC (max) can be met. tRCD (max) is specified as a reference point only; if tRCD
is greater than the specified tRCD (max) limit, then access time is controlled exclusively by tCAC.
12.Operation within the tRAD (max) limit ensures that tRAC (max) can be met. tRAD (max) is specified as a reference point only; if tRAD
is greater than the specified tRAD (max), then access time is controlled exclusively by tAA.

NOTES:
13.Either tRRH or tRCH must be satisfied for a read cycle.
14.These parameters are referenced to CAS leading edge in early write cycles and to W leading edge in read–write cycles.
15.tWCS, tRWD, tCWD, tAWD, and tCPWD are not restrictive operating parameters. They are included in the data sheet as electrical
characteristics only; if tWCS tWCS (min), the cycle is an early write cycle and the data out pin will remain open circuit (high
impedance) throughout the entire cycle; if tCWD tCWD (min), tRWD tRWD (min), tAWD tAWD (min), and tCPWD tCPWD (min)
(page mode), the cycle is a read–write cycle and the data out will contain data read from the selected cell. If neither of these sets of
conditions is satisfied, the condition of the data out (at access time) is indeterminate.

MCM54100AMCM5L4100A
12 MOTOROLA DRAM
DEVICE INITIALIZATION
On power–up, an initial pause of 200 microseconds is
required for the internal substrate generator to establish the
correct bias voltage. This must be followed by a minimum of
eight active cycles of the row address strobe (clock) to ini-
tialize all dynamic nodes within the RAM. During an extended
inactive state (greater than 16 milliseconds or 128 millisec-
onds in case of low power device, with the device powered
up), a wakeup sequence of eight active cycles is necessary to
ensure proper operation.
ADDRESSING THE RAM
The eleven address pins on the device are time multiplexed
at the beginning of a memory cycle by two clocks, row address
strobe (RAS) and column address strobe (CAS), into two
separate 11–bit address fields. A total of twenty–two address
bits, eleven rows and eleven columns, will decode one of the
4,194,304 bit locations in the device. RAS active transition is
followed by C AS active transition (active = V IL, tRCD mini-
mum) for all read or write cycles. The delay between RAS and
CAS active transitions, referred to as the multiplex window,
gives a system designer flexibility in setting up the external
addresses into the RAM.
The external CAS signal is ignored until an internal RAS sig-
nal is available. This “gate” feature on the external CAS clock
enables the internal CAS line as soon as the row address hold
time (tRAH) specification is met (and defines tRCD minimum).
The multiplex window can be used to absorb skew delays in
switching the address bus from row to column addresses and
in generating the CAS clock.
There are three other variations in addressing the 4M RAM:
RAS only refresh cycle, CAS before RAS refresh cycle,
and page mode.
READ CYCLE
The DRAM may be read with four different cycles: “normal”
random read cycle, page mode read cycle, read–write cycle,
and page mode read–write cycle. The normal read cycle is
outlined here, while the other cycles are discussed in separate
sections.
The normal read cycle begins as described in ADDRESS-
ING THE RAM, with RAS and CAS active transitions latching
the desired bit location. The write (W) input level must be high
(VIH), tRCS (minimum) before the C AS active transition, to
enable read mode.
Both the RAS and CAS clocks trigger a sequence of events
that are controlled by several delayed internal clocks. The
internal clocks are linked in such a manner that the read
access time of the device is independent of the address
multiplex window; however, CAS must be active before or at
tRCD maximum to guarantee valid data out (Q) at tRAC
(access time from RAS active transition). If the tRCD
maximum is exceeded, read access time is determined by the
CAS clock active transition (tCAC).
The RAS and C AS clocks must remain active for a mini–
mum time of tRAS and tCAS, respectively, to complete
the read cycle. W must remain high throughout the cycle, and
for time tRRH or tRCH after RAS or CAS inactive transition,
respectively, to maintain the data at that bit location. Once
RAS transitions to inactive, it must remain inactive for a mini-
mum time of tRP to precharge the internal device circuitry for
the next active cycle. Q is valid, but not latched, as long as the
CAS clock is active. When the CAS clock transitions to inac-
tive, the output will switch to High–Z (three–state).
WRITE CYCLE
The user can write to the DRAM with any of four cycles:
early write, late write, page mode early write, and page mode
read–write. Early and late write modes are discussed here,
while page mode write operations are covered elsewhere.
A write cycle begins as described in ADDRESSING THE
RAM. Write mode is enabled by the transition of W to active
(VIL). Early and late write modes are distinguished by the
active transition of W, with respect to CAS. Minimum active
time tRAS and tCAS, and precharge time tRP apply to write
mode, as in the read mode.
An early write cycle is characterized by W active transition
at minimum time tWCS before CAS active transition. Data in
(D) is referenced to CAS in an early write cycle. RAS and CAS
clocks must stay active for tRWL and tCWL, respectively,
after the start of the early write operation to complete the
cycle.
Q remains in three–state condition throughout an early write
cycle because W active transition precedes or coincides with
CAS active transition, keeping data–out buffers disabled. This
feature can be utilized on systems with a common I/O bus,
provided all writes are performed with early write cycles, to
prevent bus contention.
A late write cycle occurs when W active transition is made
after CAS active transition. W active transition could be
delayed for almost 10 microseconds after CAS active transi-
tion, (tRCD + tCWD + tRWL + 2tT) tRAS, if other timing
minimums (tRCD, tRWL, and tT) are maintained. D is
referenced to W active transition in a late write cycle. Output
buffers are enabled by CAS active transition but Q may be
indeterminate; see note 15 of AC Operating Conditions table.
RAS and CAS must remain active for tRWL and tCWL,
respectively, after W active transition to complete the write
cycle.
READ–WRITE CYCLE
A read–write cycle performs a read and then a write at the
same address, during the same cycle. This cycle is basically
a late write cycle, as discussed in the WRITE CYCLE section,
except W must remain high for tCWD minimum after the CAS
active transition, to guarantee valid Q before writing the bit.
PAGE MODE CYCLES
Page mode allows fast successive data operations at all
2048 column locations on a selected row of the 4M dynamic
RAM. Read access time in page mode (tCAC) is typically half
the regular RAS clock access time, tRAC. Page mode oper-
ation consists of keeping RAS active while toggling CAS
between VIH and VIL. The row is latched by RAS active transi-
tion, while each CAS active transition allows selection of a new
column location on the row.
A page mode cycle is initiated by a normal read, write, or
read–write cycle, as described in prior sections. Once the tim-
ing requirements for the first cycle are met, CAS transitions to
inactive for minimum of tCP, while RAS remains low ( VIL).
The second CAS active transition while RAS is low initiates the
first page mode cycle (tPC or tPRWC). Either a read, write, or
read–write operation can be performed in a page mode cycle,
subject to the same conditions as in normal operation
(previously described). These operations can be intermixed
MCM54100AMCM5L4100A
13
MOTOROLA DRAM
in consecutive page mode cycles and performed in any order .
The maximum number of consecutive page mode cycles is
limited by tRASP. Page mode operation is ended when RAS
transitions to inactive, coincident with or following CAS
inactive transition.
REFRESH CYCLES
The dynamic RAM design is based on capacitor charge
storage for each bit in the array. This charge will tend to
degrade with time and temperature. Each bit must be peri-
odically refreshed (recharged) to maintain the correct bit
state. Bits in the MCM54100A require refresh every
16 milliseconds, while refresh time for the MCM5L4100A is
128 milliseconds.
This is accomplished by cycling through the 1024 row
addresses in sequence within the specified refresh time. All
the bits on a row are refreshed simultaneously when the row
is addressed. Distributed refresh implies a row refresh every
15.6 microseconds for the MCM54100A, and 124.8 micro-
seconds for the MCM5L4100A. Burst refresh, a refresh of all
1024 rows consecutively, must be performed every 16 milli-
seconds on the MCM54100A and 128 milliseconds on the
MCM5L4100A.
A normal read, write, or read–write operation to the RAM will
refresh all the bits (4096) associated with the particular row
decoded. Three other methods of refresh, RAS–only refresh,
CAS before RAS refresh, and hidden refresh are available
on this device for greater system flexibility.
RAS–Only Refresh
RAS–only refresh consists of RAS transition to active, latch-
ing the row address to be refreshed, while CAS remains high
(VIH) throughout the cycle. An external counter is employed to
ensure that all rows are refreshed within the specified limit.
CAS Before RAS Refresh
CAS before RAS refresh is enabled by bringing CAS active
before RAS. This clock order activates an internal refresh
counter that generates the row address to be refreshed. Exter-
nal address lines are ignored during the automatic refresh
cycle. The output buffer remains at the same state it was in
during the previous cycle (hidden refresh). W must be inactive
for time tWRP before and time tWRH after RAS active transi–
tion to prevent switching the device into test mode.
Hidden Refresh
Hidden refresh allows refresh cycles to occur while main-
taining valid data at the output pin. Holding CAS active at the
end of a read or write cycle, while RAS cycles inactive for tRP
and back to active, starts the hidden refresh. This is essentially
the execution of a CAS before RAS refresh from a cycle in
progress (see Figure 1). W is subject to the same conditions
with respect to RAS active transition (to prevent test mode
entry) as in CAS before RAS refresh.
CAS BEFORE RAS REFRESH COUNTER TEST
The internal refresh counter of this device can be tested with
a CAS before RAS refresh counter test. This test is per-
formed with a read–write operation. During the test, the inter-
nal refresh counter generates the row address, while the
external address supplies the column address. The entire
array is refreshed after 1024 cycles, as indicated by the check
data written in each row. See CAS before RAS refresh
counter test cycle timing diagram.
The test can be performed after a minimum of 8 CAS before
RAS initialization cycles. Test procedure:
1. Write 0s into all memory cells with normal write mode.
2. Select a column address, read 0 out and write 1 into the
cell by performing the CAS before RAS refresh count-
er test, read–write cycle. Repeat this operation 1024
times.
3. Read the 1s which were written in step two in normal
read mode.
4. Using the same starting column address as in step two,
read 1 out and write 0 into the cell by performing the CAS
before RAS refresh counter test, read–write cycle.
Repeat this operation 1024 times.
5. Read 0s which were written in step four in normal read
mode.
6. Repeat steps one through five using complement data.

TEST MODE
The internal organization of this device (512K x 8) allows it
to be tested as if it were a 512K x 1 DRAM. Nineteen of the
twenty–two addresses are used when operating the device in
test mode. Row address A0, and column addresses A0 and
A10 are ignored by the device in test mode. A test mode cycle
reads and/or writes data to a bit in each of eight 512K blocks
(B0 – B7) in parallel. External data out is determined by the
internal test mode logic of the device. See the following truth
table and test mode block diagram.
W, CAS before RAS timing puts the device in “Test Mode”
as shown in the test mode timing diagram. A CAS before RAS
or a RAS only refresh cycle puts the device back into normal
mode. Refresh is performed in test mode by using a W, CAS
before RAS refresh cycle which uses internal refresh address
counter.

NOTES:
1. VIH (min) and VIL (max) are reference levels for measuring timing of input signals. T ransition times are measured between VIH and VIL.
2. An initial pause of 200 µs is required after power–up followed by 8 RAS cycles before proper device operation is guaranteed.
3. The transition time specification applies for all input signals. In addition to meeting the transition rate specification, all input signals must
transition between VIH and VIL (or between VIL and VIH) in a monotonic manner.
5. The specifications for tRC (min) and tRWC (min) are used only to indicate cycle time at which proper operation over the full temperature
range (0°C TA 70°C) is ensured.
6. Measured with a current load equivalent to 2 TTL (– 200 µA, + 4 mA) loads and 100 pF with the data output trip points set at VOH = 2.0 V
and VOL = 0.8 V.
7. Assumes that tRCD tRCD (max).
