Functional Overview

The CY7C1318CV18, and CY7C1320CV18 are synchronous

pipelined Burst SRAMs equipped with a DDR interface, which

operates with a read latency of one and half cycles when DOFF

pin is tied HIGH. When DOFF pin is set LOW or connected to

V

SS

the device behaves in DDR I mode with a read latency of

one clock cycle.
Accesses are initiated on the rising edge of the positive input

clock (K). All synchronous input timing is referenced from the

rising edge of the input clocks (K and K) and all output timing is

referenced to the rising edge of the output clocks (C/C, or K/K

when in single clock mode).
All synchronous data inputs (D

[x:0]

) pass through input registers

controlled by the rising edge of the input clocks (K and K). All

synchronous data outputs (Q

[x:0]

) pass through output registers

controlled by the rising edge of the output clocks (C/C, or K/K

when in single-clock mode).
All synchronous control (R/W, LD, BWS

[0:X]

) inputs pass through

input registers controlled by the rising edge of the input clock (K).
CY7C1318CV18 is described in the following sections. The

same basic descriptions apply to CY7C1320CV18.

Read Operations

The CY7C1318CV18 is organized internally as two arrays of

512K x 18. Accesses are completed in a burst of two sequential

18-bit data words. Read operations are initiated by asserting

R/W

HIGH and LD LOW at the rising edge of the positive input

clock (K). The address presented to address inputs is stored in

the read address register and the least significant bit of the

address is presented to the burst counter. The burst counter

increments the address in a linear fashion. Following the next K

clock rise, the corresponding 18-bit word of data from this

address location is driven onto Q

[17:0]

, using C as the output

timing reference. On the subsequent rising edge of C the next

18-bit data word from the address location generated by the

burst counter is driven onto Q

[17:0]

. The requested data is valid

0.45 ns from the rising edge of the output clock (C or C, or K and

K when in single clock mode, 200 MHz and 250 MHz device). To

maintain the internal logic, each read access must be allowed to

complete. Read accesses can be initiated on every rising edge

of the positive input clock (K).
The CY7C1318CV18 first completes the pending read transac-

tions, when read access is deselected. Synchronous internal

circuitry automatically tristates the output following the next rising

edge of the positive output clock (C). This enables a seamless

transition between devices without the insertion of wait states in

a depth expanded memory.

Write Operations

Write operations are initiated by asserting R/W

LOW and LD

LOW at the rising edge of the positive input clock (K). The

address presented to address inputs is stored in the write

address register and the least significant bit of the address is

presented to the burst counter. The burst counter increments the

address in a linear fashion. On the following K clock rise the data

presented to D

[17:0]

is latched and stored into the 18-bit write

data register, provided BWS

[1:0]

are both asserted active. On the

subsequent rising edge of the negative input clock (K) the infor-

mation presented to D

[17:0]

is also stored into the write data

register, provided BWS

[1:0]

are both asserted active. The 36 bits

of data are then written into the memory array at the specified

location. Write accesses can be initiated on every rising edge of

the positive input clock (K). This pipelines the data flow such that

18 bits of data can be transferred into the device on every rising

edge of the input clocks (K and K).
When Write access is deselected, the device ignores all inputs

after the pending write operations are completed.

Byte Write Operations

Byte write operations are supported by the CY7C1318CV18. A

write operation is initiated as described in the

Write Operations

section. The bytes that are written are determined by BWS

0

and

BWS

1

, which are sampled with each set of 18-bit data words.

Asserting the appropriate Byte Write Select input during the data

portion of a write latches the data being presented and writes it

into the device. Deasserting the Byte Write Select input during

the data portion of a write enables the data stored in the device

for that byte to remain unaltered. This feature can be used to

simplify read/modify/write operations to a byte write operation.

Single Clock Mode

The CY7C1318CV18 can be used with a single clock that

controls both the input and output registers. In this mode the

device recognizes only a single pair of input clocks (K and K) that

control both the input and output registers. This operation is

identical to the operation if the device had zero skew between

the K/K and C/C clocks. All timing parameters remain the same

in this mode. To use this mode of operation, tie C and C HIGH at

power on. This function is a strap option and not alterable during

device operation.

DDR Operation

The CY7C1318CV18 enables high-performance operation

through high clock frequencies (achieved through pipelining) and

double data rate mode of operation. The CY7C1318CV18

requires a single No Operation (NOP) cycle when transitioning

from a read to a write cycle. At higher frequencies, some appli-

cations may require a second NOP cycle to avoid contention.
If a read occurs after a write cycle, address and data for the write

are stored in registers. The write information must be stored

because the SRAM cannot perform the last word write to the

array without conflicting with the read. The data stays in this

register until the next write cycle occurs. On the first write cycle

after the read(s), the stored data from the earlier write is written

into the SRAM array. This is called a posted write.
If a read is performed on the same address on which a write is

performed in the previous cycle, the SRAM reads out the most

current data. The SRAM does this by bypassing the memory

array and reading the data from the registers.

Depth Expansion

Depth expansion requires replicating the LD control signal for

each bank. All other control signals can be common between

banks as appropriate.
