Functional description

The AS7C331MFT32A/36A is a high-performance CMOS 32-Mbit synchronous Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) device organized

as 1,048,576 words × 32 or 36 bits.

Burst operation is initiated in one of two ways: the controller address strobe (ADSC), or the processor address strobe (ADSP). The burst

advance pin (ADV) allows subsequent internally generated burst addresses.

Read cycles are initiated with ADSP (regardless of WE and ADSC) using the new external address clocked into the on-chip address register

when ADSP is sampled low, the chip enables are sampled active, and the output buffer is enabled with OE. In a read operation, the data

accessed by the current address registered in the address registers by the positive edge of CLK are carried to the data-out buffer. ADV is

ignored on the clock edge that samples ADSP asserted, but is sampled on all subsequent clock edges. Address is incremented internally for

the next access of the burst when ADV is sampled low and both address strobes are high. Burst mode is selectable with the LBO input. With

LBO unconnected or driven high, burst operations use an interleaved count sequence. With LBO driven low, the device uses a linear count

sequence.

Write cycles are performed by disabling the output buffers with OE and asserting a write command. A global write enable GWE writes all 32/

36 regardless of the state of individual BW[a:d] inputs. Alternately, when GWE is high, one or more bytes may be written by asserting BWE

and the appropriate individual byte BWn signals.

BWn is ignored on the clock edge that samples ADSP low, but it is sampled on all subsequent clock edges. Output buffers are disabled when

BWn is sampled LOW regardless of OE. Data is clocked into the data input register when BWn is sampled low. Address is incremented

internally to the next burst address if BWn and ADV are sampled low.

Read or write cycles may also be initiated with ADSC instead of ADSP. The differences between cycles initiated with ADSC and ADSP

follow.

• ADSP must be sampled high when ADSC is sampled low to initiate a cycle with ADSC.

•WE signals are sampled on the clock edge that samples ADSC low (and ADSP high).

• Master chip enable CE0 blocks ADSP, but not ADSC.

The AS7C331MFT32A and AS7C331MFT36A family operates from a core 3.3V power supply. I/Os use a separate power supply that can

operate at 2.5V or 3.3V. These devices are available in a 100-pin TQFP package.
