Functional description
The AS7C251MNTD18A 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 LATE Write.
This variation of the 16Mb+ sync hronous SRAM uses the No Turnaround Delay (NTD) architecture, featuring an enhanced write operation
that impro v es band width o ver pipelined burst de vice s. In a normal pipelined burst device , the write data, command, and address are a ll a pplied
to the device on the same clock edge. If a read command follo ws this write command, the system must wait f o r two 'dead' cycles for v alid data
to become available. These dead cycles can significantly reduce overall bandwidth for applications requiring random access or read-modify-
write operations.
NTD devices use the memory bus more efficiently by introducing a wr ite latency which matches the two-cycle pipelined or one-cycle flow-
through read latency. Write data is applied two cycles after the wri te command and address, al lowing the read pipeline to clear. With NTD,
write and read operations can be used in any order without producing dead bus cycles.
Assert R/W low to perf orm write cycles . Byte write enable controls write access to specific b ytes, or can be tied lo w f or full 18 bit writes. Write
enable signals , along with the wr ite address, are registered on a r ising edge of the cloc k. Write data is applied to the device two cloc k cycles
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 c hip enable inputs. In pipelined mode, a
two cycle deselect latency allows pending read or write operations to be completed.
Use the ADV (burst ad vance) input to perform burst read, write and deselect operations. When ADV is high, external addresse s, 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 AS7C251MNTD18A operates with a 2.5V ± 5% power supply for the device core (VDD). These devices are available in a 100-pin TQFP
package and 165 BGA Ball Grid Array package.

Signal I/O Properties Description
CLK I CLOCK Clock. All inputs except OE, FT, LB O, and ZZ are synchronous to this clock.
CEN I SYNC Clock enable. When de-asserted high, the clock input signal is masked.
A, A0, A1 I SYNC Address. Sampled when all chip enables are active and ADV/LD is asserted.
DQ[a,b] I/O SYNC Data. Driven as output when the chip is enabled and OE is active.
CE0, CE1,
CE2 ISYNC
Synchronous chip enab les . Sampled at the rising edge of CLK, when AD V/LD is asserted. Are
ignored when ADV/LD is high.
ADV/LD ISYNC
Advance or Load. When sampled high, the internal burst a ddress counter will increment in
the order defined by the LBO input value. (refer to table on page 2) When low, a new
address is loaded.
R/W ISYNC
A high during LOAD initiates a READ operation. A lo w during LOAD initiates a WRITE
operation. Is ignore d when ADV/LD is high.

IEEE 1149.1 serial boundary scan (JTAG)
The SRAM incorporates a serial boundary scan test access port (TAP). The port operates in accordance with IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990 but
does not have the set of functions required for full 1149.1 compliance. The inclusion of these functions would place an added delay in the
critical speed path of the SRAM. The TAP controller functionality does not conflict with the operation of other devices using 1149.1 fully
compliant TAPs. It uses JEDEC-standard 2.5V I/O logic levels.
The SRAM contains a TAP controller, instruction register, boundary scan register, bypass register, and ID register.
Disabling the JTAG feature
If the JTAG function is not being implemented, its pins/balls can be left uncon nected. At power-up, the device will come up in a reset state
which will not interfere with the operation of the device.
Test access port (TAP)
Test clock (TCK)
The test clock is used with only the TAP controller. All inputs are captured on the r ising edge of TCK. All outputs are driven from the falling
edge of TCK.
Test mode select (TMS)
The TAP controller receiv es commands fr om TMS input. It is sampled on the rising edge of TCK. You can leave this pin/ball unconnected if the
TAP is not used. The pin/ball is pulled up internally, resulting in a logic high level.

Test data-in (TDI)
The TDI pin/ball serially inputs information into the registers and can be connected to the input of any of the registers. The register between
TDI and TDO is chosen by the instr uction that is loaded into the TAP instru ction register. For information on loading the instruction register,
see the TAP Controller State Diagram. TDI is internally pulled up and can be unconnected if the TAP is unused in an application. TDI is
connected to the most significant bit (MSB) of any register. (See the TAP Controller Block Diagram.)
Test data-out (TDO)
The TDO output pin/ball serially clocks data-out from the registers. The output is active depending upon the current state of the TAP state
machine. The output changes on the falling edge of TCK. TDO is connected to the least significant bit (LSB) of any register. (See the TAP
Controller State Diagram.)
Performing a TAP RESET
You can perform a RESET by forcing TMS high (VDD) for five rising edges of TCK. This RESET does not affect the operation of the SRAM and
can be performed while the SRAM is operating.
At power-up, the TAP is reset internally to ensure that TDO comes up in a high-Z state.
TAP registers
Registers are connected between the TDI and TDO pins/balls. They allow data to be scanned into and out of the SRAM test circuitry. Only one
register can be selected at a time through the instruction register. Data is serially loaded into the TDI pin/ball on the rising edge of TCK. Data is
output on the TDO pin/ball on the falling edge of TCK.
Instruction register
You can serially load three-bit instructions into the instruction register. The register is loaded when it is placed between the TDI and TDO pins/
balls as shown in the TAP Controller Block Diagram. The instruction register is loaded with the IDCODE instruction at power up and also if the
controller is placed in a reset state, as described in the previous section.
When the TAP controller is in the Capture-IR state, the two least significant bits are loaded with a binary “01” pattern to allow for fault
isolation of the board-level series test data path.
Bypass register
To save time when serially shifting data through registers, it is sometimes advantageous to skip certain chips. The bypass register is a single-bit
register that can be placed between the TDI and TDO pins/balls. This allows data to be shifted through the SRAM with minimal delay. The
bypass register is set low (Vss) when the BYPASS instruction is executed.
Boundary scan register
The boundary scan register is connected to all the input and bidirectional pins/balls on the SRAM. The x36 configuration has a 70-bit-long
register and the x18 configuration has a 51-bit-long register.
The boundary scan register is loaded with the contents of the RAM I/O ring when the TA P controller is in the Capture-DR state and is then
placed between the TDI and TDO pins/balls when the controller is moved to the Shift-DR state. The EXTEST, SAMPLE/RELOAD, and SAMPLE Z
instructions can be used to capture the contents of the I/O ring.
The boundary scan order table shows the order in which the bits are connected. Each bit corresponds to one of the bumps on the SRAM
package. The most significant bit (MSB) of the register is connected to TDI, and the least significant bit (LSB) is connected to TDO.
Identification (ID) register
The ID register has a vendor code and other information described in the Identification Register Def initions tab le. The ID register is loaded with
a vendor-specific, 32-bit code dur ing the Capture-DR state when the IDCODE command is loaded in the instr uction register. The IDCODE is
hardwired into the SRAM and can be shifted out when the TAP controller is in the Shift-DR state.

TAP instruction set
Eight different instr uctions are possible with the 3-bit instr uction register. All combinations are listed in the Instr uction Codes table. Three of
these instructions are reserved and should not be used.
Note that the TAP controller used in this SRAM is not fully compliant to the 1149.1 convention because some of the mandatory 1149.1
instructions are not fully implemented. The TAP controller cannot be used to load address, data, or control signals into the SRAM and cannot
preload the I/O buffers. The SRAM does not implement the 1149.1 commands EXTEST or INTEST or the PRELOAD portion of SAMPLE/
PRELOAD. Instead, it performs a capture of the I/O ring when these instructions are executed.
Instru ctions are loaded into the TAP controller during the Shift-IR state when the instruction register is placed between TDI and TDO. Dur ing
this state, instr uctions are shifted through the instruction register through the TDI and TDO pins/balls. To execute the instruction once it is
shifted in, the TAP controller needs to be moved into the Update-IR state.
EXTEST
The EXTEST instruction, which executes whenever the instruction register is loaded with all 0s, is not implemented in this SRAM TAP
controller. The TAP controller, ho we v er, does recognize an all-0 instruction. When an EXTEST instruction is loaded into the instruction register,
the SRAM responds as if a SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction has been loaded. Unlike the SAMPLE/PRE LOAD instruction, EXTEST places the SRAM
outputs in a high-Z state.
EXTEST is a mandatory 1149.1 instruction. this device, therefore, is not compliant with 1149.1.
IDCODE
The IDCODE instr uction is loaded into the instruction register upon power-up or whenever the TAP controller is given a test logic reset state.
The IDCODE instr uction causes a vendor-specific, 32-bit code to be loaded into the instruction register. It also places the instruction register
between the TDI and TDO pins/balls and allows the IDCODE to be shifted out of the device when the TAP controller enters the Shift-DR state.
SAMPLE Z
The SAMPLE Z instruction causes the boundar y scan register to be connected between the TDI and TDO pins/balls when the TAP controller is
in a Shift-DR state. It also places all SRAM outputs into a high-Z state.
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
When the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction is loaded into the instruction register and the TAP controller is in the Capture-DR state, a snapshot of
data on the inputs and bidirectional pins/balls is captured in the boundary scan register. Note that the SAMPLE/PRELOAD is a 1149.1
mandatory instr uction, but the PRELOAD portion of this instr uction is not implemented in this device. The TAP controller, therefore, is not
fully 1149.1 compliant.
Be aware that the TAP controller cloc k can operate only at a frequency up to 10 Mhz, while the SRAM clock operates more than an order of
magnitude faster. Because there is a large difference in the clock frequencies, it is possible that during the Capture-DR state, an input or output
can undergo a transition. The TAP may then try to capture a signal while in transition (metastable state). This will not harm the device, but
there is no guarantee as to the value that will be captured. Repeatable results may not be possible.
To guarantee that the boundary scan register captures the correct value of a signal, the SRAM signal must be stabilized long enough to meet the
TAP controller’s capture setup plus hold time (tCS plus tCH). The SRAM clock input might not be captured correctly if there is no way in a
design to stop (or slow) the clock during a SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction. If this is an issue, it is possible to capture all other signals and
ignore the value of the CK and CK# captured in the boundary scan register.
Once the data is captured, it is possible to shift out the data by putting the TA P into the Shift-DR state. This places the boundary scan register
between the TDI and TDO pins.
Note that since the PRELOAD part of th e command is not implemented, putting the TAP to the Update-DR state while performing a SAMPLE/
PRELOAD instruction will have the same effect as the Pause-DR command.
BYPASS
The advantage of the BYPASS instruction is that it shortens the boun dary scan path when multiple devices are connected together on a board.
When the BYPASS instruction is loaded in the instruction register and the TAP is placed in a Shift-DR state, the bypass register is placed betw een
TDI and TDO.
