Functional Description

TherowaddressislatchedbytheRowAddressStrobe
(RAS).ThecolumnaddressislatchedbytheColumnAd-
dress Strobe (CAS).
RAS is used to latch the first nine bits
and CAS is used to latch the latter nine bits.
The
IS41LV16100D
has two CAS controls, LCAS and UCAS.
TheLCAS and UCAS inputs internally generates a CAS signal
functioning in an identical manner to the single CAS input on
theother1Mx16DRAMs.
ThekeydifferenceisthateachCAS

in conjunction with
OE and WE and RAS). LCAScontrolsI/O0throughI/O7and
UCAScontrolsI/O8throughI/O15.
TheIS41LV16100DCAS function is determined by the
first CAS (LCAS or UCAS)transitioningLOWandthelast
transitioningbackHIGH.ThetwoCAS controls give the
IS41LV16100D BYTE READ and BYTE WRITE cycle
capabilities.
Memory Cycle
A memory cycle is initiated by bring RASLOWanditis
terminated by returning both RAS and CAS HIGH. To
ensures proper device operation and data integrity any
memory cycle, once initiated, must not be ended or aborted
before the minimum tras time has expired. A new cycle
must not be initiated until the minimum precharge time
trp, tcp has elapsed.
Read Cycle
A read cycle is initiated by the falling edge of CAS or OE,
whichever occurs last, while holding WEHIGH.Thecolumn
address must be held for a minimum time specified by tar.
DataOutbecomesvalidonlywhentrac, taa, tcac and toea
are all satisfied. As a result, the access time is dependent
on the timing relationships between these parameters.
Write Cycle
A write cycle is initiated by the falling edge of CAS and WE,
whicheveroccurslast.Theinputdatamustbevalidator
before the falling edge of CAS or WE, whichever occurs first.
Auto Refresh Cycle

1. By clocking each of the 1,024 row addresses (A0 through
A9) with RAS at least once every tref max. Any read, write,
read-modify-write or RAS-only cycle refreshes the addressed
row.
2. Using a CAS-before-RAS refresh cycle. CAS-before-
RAS refresh is activated by the falling edge of RAS, while
holding CASLOW.InCAS-before-RAS refresh cycle,
an internal 9-bit counter provides the row addresses
and the external address inputs are ignored.
CAS-before-RAS is a refresh-only mode and no data
accessordevice selection is allowed.Thus,theoutput
remainsintheHigh-Zstateduringthecycle.

completion of any internal refresh cycles that may be in
process at the time of the RASLOW-to-HIGHtransition.If

However,iftheDRAMcontrollerutilizesaRAS-only or burst
refresh sequence, all 1,024 rows must be refreshed within
the average internal refresh rate, prior to the resumption
of normal operation.
Extended Data Out Page Mode
EDO page mode operation permits all 1,024 columns
within a selected row to be randomly accessed at a high
data rate.
InEDOpagemodereadcycle,thedata-outisheldtothe
next CAS cycle’s falling edge, instead of the rising edge.
Forthisreason,thevaliddataoutputtimeinEDOpage
mode is extended compared with the fast page mode. In
the fast page mode, the valid data output time becomes
shorter as the CAScycletimebecomesshorter.There-
fore,inEDOpagemode,thetimingmargininreadcycle
is larger than that of the fast page mode even if the CAS
cycle time becomes shorter.
InEDOpagemode,duetotheextendeddatafunction,
the CAS cycle time can be shorter than in the fast page
mode if the timing margin is the same.
TheEDOpagemodeallowsbothreadandwriteoperations
during one RAS cycle, but the performance is equivalent
to that of the fast page mode in that case.
Power-On
During Power-On, RAS, UCAS, LCAS, and WE must
all track with Vdd (HIGH) to avoid current surges,
and allow initialization to continue. An initial pause of
200 µs is required followed by a minimum of eight initial-
ization cycles (any combination of cycles containing a
RAS signal).
