The memory operates from a single power supply. The separate chip select input (CS) allows simple memory expansion when the outputs are wire-O Red. If CS is HIGH, the outputs are floating and no new information can be written into the memory. The signal at O has the same polarity as the data input D, while the signal at O is the complement of the signal at O. The write control W must be HIGH for writing into the memory. DESCRIPTION The HEF4720B and HEF4720V are 256-bit, 1-bit per word random access memories with 3-state outputs. The memories are fully decoded and completely static. Recommended supply voltage range for HEF4720B is 3 to 15 V and for HEF4720V is 4,5 to 12,5 V; minimum stand-by voltage for both types is 3 V. The use of LOCMOS gives the added advantage of very low stand-by power. The circuits can be directly interfaced with standard bipolar devices (TTL) without using special Fig.1 Functional diagram.

Philips Semiconductors Product specification 256-bit, 1-bit per word random access memories APPLICATION INFORMATION Extension of memory capacity The memory capacity of the HEF4720B; V is 256 bits (or 256 words of 1 bit). The capacity of a system can be extended in various ways by the connection of further HEF4720B; V ICs. Extending the word length By connecting a number of HEF4720B; V ICs as shown in Fig.6, the word length (i.e. bits per word) is multiplied by that number. That is, each device stores 1 bit per word but the total number of words remains 256. For example, if four devices are used in this way, 256 four-binary-bit words can be stored. Extending the number of words If a number of HEF4720B; V ICs are connected as shown in Fig.7, the words available are multiplied by that number, but the word length remains 1 bit. Notice that in this case additional addresses are used in conjunction with the CS input. In the case shown in Fig.7 (4 x HEF4720B; V in parallel), the addresses and data inputs are loaded with four inputs (= 20 pF), the CS inputs are loaded with one input each. Extending both the word length and number of words Figure 8 shows how a combination of the extensions described above can be used to obtain both greater word length and additional words. It is clear that the capacitive load of the driving circuits puts a limit to the free choice of the interface. In Fig.8, each address is loaded with 16 inputs, i.e. 16 x 5 = 80 pF: each CS inverter is loaded with 8 inputs, i.e. 8 x 5 = 40 pF. The data inverters in this case are loaded with only two inputs each.

January 1995 12 Philips Semiconductors Product specification 256-bit, 1-bit per word random access memories Three possibilities for controlling the rise and fall times at the HEF4720B; V interface are given here: Memory retention It is sometimes necessary to ensure that the information stored in the memory cannot be erased inadvertently. This can be arranged by adding detection circuits, by measures in the timing, and by the addition of a battery. With the HEF4720B; V, memory retention is very easily obtained because its current drain in the stand-by condition is almost zero. The wide supply voltage range makes it possible to keep the memory active by means of a simple battery, thereby preventing information loss. 1. LOCMOS gates can be connected between the address latch and the HEF4720B; V (Fig.9). In the event of a low voltage, or mains supply failure, the gates can be blocked by a signal from the memory retention logic thus isolating the HEF4720B; V from the address and CS inputs. 2. The interface power supply can be separated from the TTL power supply by means of a low-value resistor (Fig.10); a thyristor is connected from the interface power supply to earth. The system is arranged so that, upon switching off or failure of the interface supply, the thyristor turns on thus ensuring a rapid fall of the supply voltage. In designing the memory retention circuits, two aspects should be kept in mind. The memory retention will not function in an optimum way if the battery voltage is low or if the voltage transitions at the address input are too slow. The first of these is usually the result of using too simple a battery back-up circuit, e.g. a battery charged via a diode from the TTL supply voltage. In this case, the LOCMOS supply voltage falls below the safe operating voltage. Special arrangements should be made to overcome this. 3. The best solution is to select the interface circuits from the LOCMOS family and to feed all these circuits from the battery (Fig.11). These stages then remain active when the TTL 5 V supply fails. The interface circuits are mostly only active on a clock pulse, have the possibility of being inactive on a gate level, or can be forced into one position. Slow address transitions (the second cause of memory loss) are due to a long RC-time in the power system. When the power is switched on or off, the 5 V line changes between 0 and 5 V in milliseconds to seconds so producing a correspondingly long transition time in the various logic outputs. This creates problems in the proper operation of the HEF4720B; V, with loss of memory as a possible result. This can be prevented by ensuring that input rise and fall times do not exceed 10 s.

(2) Alternative connection. Fig.9 Use of battery-operated LOCMOS gates to isolate the memory in case of power supply failure. Devices marked (1) are connected to the battery. The HEF4011B can sink about 0,7 mA: if the load is greater than this, only the memory should be connected, other loads being connected to the address latch as shown by the dashed-line connections.
