The MCM67A618 is a 1,179,648 bit latched address static random access memory organized as 65,536 words of 18 bits, fabricated with Motorola's high performance silicongate BiCMOS technology. The device integrates a 64K x 18 SRAM core with advanced peripheral circuitry consisting of address and data input latches, active low chip enable, separate upper and lower byte write strobes, and a fast output enable. This device has increased output drive capability supported by multiple power pins. Address, data in, and chip enable latches are provided. When latch enables (AL for address and chip enables and DL for data in) are high, the address, data in, and chip enable latches are in the transparent state. If latch enables are tied high the device can be used as an asynchronous SRAM. When latch enables are low the address, data in, and chip enable latches are in the latched state. This input latch simplifies read and write cycles by guaranteeing address and datain hold time in a simple fashion. Dual write enables (LW and UW) are provided to allow individually writeable bytes. LW controls DQ0 DQ8 (the lower bits) while UW controls DQ9 DQ17 (the upper bits). |
