The GS8644V18/36/72 is a SCD (Single Cycle Deselect) and DCD (Dual Cycle Deselect) pipelined synchronous SRAM. DCD SRAMs pipeline disable commands to the same degree as read commands. SCD SRAMs pipeline deselect commands one stage less than read commands. SCD RAMs begin turning off their outputs immediately after the deselect command has been captured in the input registers. DCD RAMs hold the deselect command for one full cycle and then begin turning off their outputs just after the second rising edge of clock. The user may configure this SRAM for either mode of operation using the SCD mode input.
