Pin Identification
Symbol Description
A Synchronous Address I nputs: These i nputs are registered and must meet the setup and hold times around the
rising edge of K. Balls 9A, 3A, 10A, and 2A are reserved for the next higher-order address i nputs on fut ure
devices. All trans actions operate on a burst of two words (one clock period of bus activity). These inputs are
ignored when device is deselected.
/LD Synchronous Load: This input is brought LOW when a bus cycle sequence is to be defined. This definition
includes address and read/write direction. All transact i ons operate on a burst of 2 data (one clock periods of
bus activit y).
R, /W Synchronous Read/W rite Input: When /LD is LOW, this input designates the access type (READ when /R, W is
HIGH, WRITE when /R, W is LOW) for the loaded address. /R, W must meet the setup and hold times around
the rising edge of K.
/NWx
/BWx Synchronous Byte W rites (Nybble Writes on x8): When LOW these inputs cause their respective byte or nybbl e
to be registered and written during WRITE cycles. These signals must meet setup and hold times around the
rising edges of K and /K for each of the two rising edges comprising the WRITE cycle. See Pin Confi gurations
for signal t o data relationships.
K, /K Input Clock: This input clock pair registers address and control inputs on the rising edge of K, and registers data
on the rising edge of K and the rising edge of /K. /K is ideally 180 degrees out of phase with K. All synchronous
inputs must meet setup and hol d times around the clock risi ng edges.
C, /C Output Clock: This clock pair provides a user controlled means of tuning device output data. The rising edge of
C is used as the output timing reference for first output dat a. The risi ng edge of /C is used as the output
reference f or second output dat a. Ideally, /C is 180 degrees out of phas e with C. C and /C may be tied HIGH to
force the use of K and /K as the output reference clocks instead of having to provide C and /C clocks. If tied
HIGH, C and /C must remain HIGH and not be toggled during device operation.
/DLL DLL Disable: When LOW, this input causes the DLL to be bypassed f or stable low frequency operat i on.
ZQ Output Impedance Matching Input: This input is used to tune the device outputs to the system data bus
impedance. DQ and CQ output impedance are set to 0.2 x RQ, where RQ is a resistor from this bump to
ground. Alternat el y, this pi n can be connect ed directl y t o VDDQ, which enables the minimum impedance mode.
This pin cannot be connected directly to GND or left unconnected.
TMS
TDI IEEE 1149.1 Test Inputs: 1.8V I/O levels. These balls may be left Not Connected if the JTAG function is not
used in the circuit.
TCK IEEE 1149.1 Clock Input: 1.8V I/O levels. This pin must be tied to VSS if the JTAG function is not used in the
circuit.
VREF HSTL Input Reference Voltage: Nominally VDDQ/2. Provides a referenc e voltage for t he input buffers.
D0 to Dxx Synchronous Data Inputs: Input data must meet setup and hold times around the risi ng edges of K and /K
during WRITE operations. See Pin Configurations for ball site locat i on of individual signals .
x8 device uses D0-D7. Rem aining signal s are NC.
x18 device uses D0-D17. Rem ai ni ng signals are NC.
x36 device uses D0-D35.
NC signals are read in the JTAG scan chain as the logic level appli ed to the ball site.
CQ, /CQ Synchronous Echo Clock Outputs. The ris i ng edges of these outputs are tightl y m atched to the sync hronous
data outputs and can be used as a data valid indication. These signals run f reel y and do not stop when Q
tristates.
TDO IEEE 1149.1 Test Output: 1.8V I/O level.
Q0 to Qxx Synchronous Data Outputs: Output data is synchronized to the respective C and /C or to K and /K ris i ng edges
if C and /C are tied HIGH. This bus operates in response to /R commands. See Pin Configurations for ball sit e
locati on of individual signals .
x8 device uses Q0-Q7. Remainin g signals are NC.
x18 device uses Q0-Q17. Remaining signals are NC.
x36 device uses Q0-Q35.
NC signals are read in the JTAG scan chain as the logic l evel applied to the ball site.
VDD Power Supply: 1.8V nomi nal. See DC Characteris tics and Operating Conditions for range.
VDDQ Power Supply: Isol ated Output Buffer Supply. Nominally 1.5V. 1.8V is also permiss i bl e. S ee DC Characteristics
and Operating Conditi ons for range.
VSS Power Supply: Ground
NC No Connect: These signals are internally connected and appear in the JTAG scan chain as the logic level
applied to the ball sit es. These signals m ay be connect ed to ground to improve package heat dissipation.

2. Data inputs are registered at K and /K rising edges. Data outputs are delivered at C and /C rising edges
except if C and /C are HIGH then Data outputs are delivered at K and /K rising edges.
3. All control inputs in the truth table must meet setup/hold times around the rising edge (LOW to HIGH) of
K. All control inputs are registered during the rising edge of K.
4. This device contains circuitry that will ensure the outputs will be in High-Z during power-up.
5. Refer to state diagram and timing diagrams for clarification.
6. It is recommended that K = /K = C = /C when clock is stopped. This is not essential but permits most
rapid restart by overcoming transmission line charging symmetrically.

Notes 1. The device will operate at clock frequencies slower than TKHKH(MAX.).
2. Clock phase jitter is the variance from clock rising edge to the next expected colck rising edge.
3. VDD slew rate must be less than 0.1 V DC per 50 ns for DLL lock retention.
DLL lock time begins once VDD and input clock are stable.
It is recommended that the device is kept inactive during these cycles.
4. Echo clock is very tightly controlled to data valid / data hold. By design, there is a ± 0.1 ns variation from
echo clock to data. The data sheet parameters reflect tester guardbands and test setup variations.
5. This is a synchronous device. All addresses, data and control lines must meet the specified setup
and hold times for all latching clock edges.
Remarks 1. This parameter is sampled.
2. Test conditions as specified with the output loading as shown in AC Test Conditions
unless otherwise noted.
3. Control input signals may not be operated with pulse widths less than TKHKL (MIN).
4. If C, /C are tied HIGH, K, /K become the references for C, /C timing parameters.
5. VDDQ is 1.5 VDC.

Scan Register Definition (1)
Register nam e Description
Instruc tion regi ster The instruction register hol ds the inst ructions that are executed by the TAP controller when it is
moved into the run-test/i dle or the various data register state. The register can be loaded when it is
placed between the TDI and TDO pins. The ins truction register is automaticall y preloaded with the
IDCODE inst ruct i on at power-up whenever the controller is placed in test-logic-res et st ate.
Bypass regist er The bypass register is a single bit register that can be placed between TDI and TDO. It all ows s eri al
test data to be passed through the RAMs TAP to another device in the scan chain with as little delay
as possible.
ID register The ID Register is a 32 bit register that is loaded with a device and vendor specific 32 bit code when
the controll er is put i n capture-DR state with the IDCODE command loaded in the instruction register.
The register is then placed between the TDI and TDO pins when the controller is moved into shift-DR
state.
Boundary regist er The boundary regi ster, under the control of the TAP controller, is loaded with the contents of the
RAMs I/O ring when the controller is in capture-DR st at e and then is placed between the TDI and
TDO pins when the controller is moved to shift -DR st ate. Several TAP instruct i ons can be used to
activate the boundary register.
The Scan Exit Order tables describe which device bump connects t o each boundary register
location. The first column defines the bit’s position in the boundary register. The shift register bit
nearest TDO (i.e., first to be shifted out) is defined as bit 1. The second column is the name of the
input or I/O at the bump and the third column is the bump number.

JTAG Instructions
Instructions Description
EXTEST EXTEST is an IEEE 1149.1 mandatory public instructi on. It is to be executed whenever the inst ruction
register, whatever lengt h i t ma y be in the devic e, is loaded with all l ogic 0s. EXTEST is not implement ed
in this device. Therefore this devi ce is not 1149.1 compliant. Nevertheless, this RA Ms TAP does
respond to an all zeros inst ruct i on, as follows. Wit h the EXTEST (000) instruct i on l oaded in the
instruction register the RAM responds just as it does in respons e to the SAMPLE instruc ti on, except the
RAM output are forced to Hi-Z any time the instruct i on is loaded.
IDCODE The IDCODE instruction causes the ID ROM to be loaded into the ID register when the controller is in
capture-DR mode and places the ID register between the TDI and TDO pins in shift-DR mode. The
IDCODE instruct i on is the default inst ruction l oaded i n at power up and any time the controller is placed
in the test-l ogic-reset state.
BYPASS The BYPASS instruction is loaded in the instruction regis t er when the bypass regist er is pl aced between
TDI and TDO. This occurs when the TAP controller is moved to the shift-DR state. This allows the
board level scan pat h to be shortened to facil ita t e test i ng of other devices in the scan path.
SAMPLE SAMP LE is a Standard 1149.1 mandatory publ i c instruction. When the SAMPLE instruction is loaded in
the instruction register, moving the TAP controller into the capture-DR state loads the data in the RAMs
input and I/O buffers into the boundary scan register. Because the RAM clock(s) are independent from
the TAP clock (TCK) it is possible for the TAP to attempt to capture the I/O ring contents while the input
buffers are in trans iti on (i.e., i n a metastable stat e). Alt hough allowing the TAP to SAMPLE metast abl e
input will not harm the device, repeatable results cannot be expected. RAM input s ignals must be
stabilized f or l ong enough to meet the TAPs input data capture setup plus hold time (tCS plus tCH). The
RAMs clock inputs need not be paused for any other TAP operation except capturing the I/O ring
contents int o the boundary sc an regis ter. Moving the controller to shift-DR state then places the
boundary scan regist er between the TDI and TDO pins. This functionalit y is not Standard 1149.1
compliant.
SAMPLE-Z I f the SAMPLE-Z instruction is loaded in the instructi on regis t er, al l RAM outputs are forc ed to an inactive
drive state (Hi-Z) and the boundary regist er is connect ed between TDI and TDO when the TAP control l er
is moved to the shift-DR state.

TAP Controller State Diagram
Disabling the Test Access Port
It is possible to use this device without utilizing the TAP. To disable the TAP Controller without interfering with normal
operation of the device, TCK must be tied to VSS to preclude mid level inputs.
TDI and TMS are designed so an undriven input will produce a response identical to the application of a logic 1, and
may be left unconnected. But they may also be tied to VDD through a 1k resistor.
TDO should be left unconnected.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1 PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note:
Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and
ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity
as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control
must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using
insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported
in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement
tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using
wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need
to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor devices on it.
2 HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS
Note:
No connection for CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no connection is provided
to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence
causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels
of CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused
pin should be connected to V
DD
or GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of
being an output pin. All handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and
related specifications governing the devices.
3 STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note:
Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Production process of MOS
does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is
turned ON, the devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does
not guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized until the
reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices
having reset function.

While NEC endeavours to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC semiconductor products, customers
agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize
risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC
semiconductor products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as
redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
NEC semiconductor products are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special" and "Specific". The "Specific" quality grade applies only to semiconductor products
developed based on a customer-designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The
recommended applications of a semiconductor product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below.
Customers must check the quality grade of each semiconductor product before using it in a particular
application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC semiconductor products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC's
data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC semiconductor products in applications not
intended by NEC, they must contact an NEC sales representative in advance to determine NEC's willingness
to support a given application.
(Note)
(1) "NEC" as used in this statement means NEC Corporation and also includes its majority-owned subsidiaries.
(2) "NEC semiconductor products" means any semiconductor product developed or manufactured by or for
NEC (as defined above).
