FaStack® 3D Memory -- Synchronous Burst SRAM
(obsolete)

Tezzaron FaStack Synchronous Burst SRAMs are high-speed, low-power CMOS designs, fabricated in an advanced CMOS process. These 1, 2, and 4 Mb SRAMs integrate 32Kx32, 64Kx32, and 128Kx32 SRAM cores with advanced synchronous peripheral circuitry and a 2-bit burst counter. All synchronous inputs pass through registers controlled by a positive-edge-triggered single clock input. Synchronous inputs include all addresses, all data inputs, three chip enables, burst control inputs, byte write enables, and global write.

Asynchronous inputs include the output enable, clock, and snooze enable. A burst mode pin selects between interleaved and linear burst modes. The data-out is also asynchronous. WRITE cycles can be from one to four bytes wide, as controlled by the write control inputs.

Burst operation is initiated with the input pins of either the address status processor or the address status controller. Internal generation of subsequent burst addresses is controlled by the burst advance pin.

Address and write control are registered on-chip to simplify WRITE cycles and allow self-timed WRITE cycles. Individual byte enables allow individual bytes to be written. An additional pipelined enable register delays turning off the output buffer for an additional cycle when a deselect is executed; this allows depth expansion without penalizing system performance.
