MC-458CB64ESB, 458CB64PSB
8M-WORD BY 64-BIT
SYNCHRONOUS DYNAMIC RAM MODULE (SO DIMM)
EO
Description
The MC-458CB64ESB and MC-458CB64PSB are 8,388,608 words by 64 bits synchronous dynamic RAM module
(Small Outline DIMM) on which 4 pieces of 128M SDRAM: µPD45128163 are assembled.
These modules provide high density and large quantities of memory in a small space without utilizing the surface-
mounting technology on the printed circuit board.
Decoupling capacitors are mounted on power supply line for noise reduction.

Electrical Specifications
• All voltages are referenced to VSS (GND).
• After power up, wait more than 100 µs and then, execute power on sequence and CBR (Auto) refresh before proper
device operation is achieved.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1
PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note:
Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and
ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity
as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control
EO
must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using
insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported
in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement
tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using
wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need
to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor devices on it.
2
HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS
Note:
L
No connection for CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no connection is provided
to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence
causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels
of CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused
pin should be connected to V DD or GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of
being an output pin. All handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and
u
od
Pr
related specifications governing the devices.
3
STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note:
Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Production process of MOS
does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is
turned ON, the devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does
not guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized until the
reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices
having reset function.

CAUTION FOR HANDLING MEMORY MODULES
When handling or inserting memory modules, be sure not to touch any components on the modules, such as
the memory IC, chip capacitors and chip resistors. It is necessary to avoid undue mechanical stress on these
components to prevent damaging them.
When re-packing memory modules, be sure the modules are NOT touching each other. Modules in contact
with other modules may cause excessive mechanical stress, which may damage the modules.

• While Elpida endeavours to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of Elpida semiconductor products,
customers agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To
minimize risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in Elpida
semiconductor products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as
redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
• Elpida semiconductor products are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special" and "Specific". The "Specific" quality grade applies only to semiconductor products
developed based on a customer-designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The
recommended applications of a semiconductor product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below.
Customers must check the quality grade of each semiconductor product before using it in a particular
application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of Elpida semiconductor products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in
Elpida's data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use Elpida semiconductor products in
applications not intended by Elpida, they must contact an Elpida Memory, Inc. in advance to determine
Elpida's willingness to support a given application.
(Note)
(1) "Elpida" as used in this statement means Elpida Memory, Inc. and also includes its majority-owned
subsidiaries.
(2) "Elpida semiconductor products" means any semiconductor product developed or manufactured by or
for Elpida (as defined above).
