Functional Description

The CYDC256B16, CYDC128B16, CYDC064B16,
CYDC128B08, CYDC064B08 are low-power CMOS 4k,
8k,16k x 16, and 8/16k x 8 dual-port static RAMs. Arbitration
schemes are included on the devices to handle situations
when multiple processors access the same piece of data. Two
ports are provided, permitting independent, asynchronous
access for reads and writes to any location in memory. The
devices can be utilized as standalone 16-bit dual-port static
RAMs or multiple devices can be combined in order to function
as a 32-bit or wider master/slave dual-port static RAM. An M/S
pin is provided for implementing 32-bit or wider memory appli-
cations without the need for separate master and slave
devices or additional discrete logic. Application areas include
interprocessor/multiprocessor designs, communications
status buffering, and dual-port video/graphics memory.
Each port has independent control pins: Chip Enable (CE),
Read or Write Enable (R/W), and Output Enable (OE). Two
flags are provided on each port (BUSY and INT). BUSY
signals that the port is trying to access the same location
currently being accessed by the other port. The Interrupt flag
(INT) permits communication between ports or systems by
means of a mail box. The semaphores are used to pass a flag,
or token, from one port to the other to indicate that a shared
resource is in use. The semaphore logic is comprised of eight
shared latches. Only one side can control the latch
(semaphore) at any time. Control of a semaphore indicates
that a shared resource is in use. An automatic power-down
feature is controlled independently on each port by a Chip
Enable (CE) pin.
The CYDC256B16, CYDC128B16, CYDC064B16,
CYDC128B08, CYDC064B08 are available in 100-pin TQFP
packages.
Power Supply
The core voltage (VCC) can be 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.0V, as long as
it is lower than or equal to the I/O voltage.
Each port can operate on independent I/O voltages. This is
determined by what is connected to the VDDIOL and VDDIOR
pins. The supported I/O standards are 1.8V/2.5V LVCMOS
and 3.0V LVTTL.
Write Operation
Data must be set up for a duration of tSD before the rising edge
of R/W in order to guarantee a valid write. A write operation is
controlled by either the R/W pin (see Write Cycle No. 1
waveform) or the CE pin (see Write Cycle No. 2 waveform).
Required inputs for non-contention operations are summa-
rized in Table1.
If a location is being written to by one port and the opposite
port attempts to read that location, a port-to-port flowthrough
delay must occur before the data is read on the output;
otherwise the data read is not deterministic. Data will be valid
on the port tDDD after the data is presented on the other port.
Read Operation
When reading the device, the user must assert both the OE
and CE pins. Data will be available tACE after CE or tDOE after
OE is asserted. If the user wishes to access a semaphore flag,
