The GS8673EQ18/36BK SigmaQuad-IIIe ECCRAMs are
synchronous devices. They employ dual, single-ended master
clocks, CK and CK. These clocks are single-ended clock
inputs, not differential inputs to a single differential clock input
buffer. CK and CK are used to control the address and control
input registers, as well as all output timing.
The KD and KD clocks are dual mesochronous (with respect to
CK and CK) input clocks that are used to control the data input
registers. Consequently, data input setup and hold windows
can be optimized independently of address and control input
setup and hold windows.
SigmaQuad-IIIe™ Family Overview
SigmaQuad-IIIe ECCRAMs are the Separate I/O half of the
SigmaQuad-IIIe/SigmaDDR-IIIe family of high performance
ECCRAMs. Although very similar to GSI's second generation
of networking SRAMs (the SigmaQuad-II/SigmaDDR-II
family), these third generation devices offer several new
features that help enable significantly higher performance.
Each internal read and write operation in a SigmaQuad-IIIe B2
ECCRAM is two times wider than the device I/O bus. An input
data bus de-multiplexer is used to accumulate incoming data
before it is simultaneously written to the memory array. An
output data multiplexer is used to capture the data produced
from a single memory array read and then route it to the
appropriate output drivers as needed. Therefore, the address
field of a SigmaQuad-IIIe B2 ECCRAM is always one address
pin less than the advertised index depth (e.g. the 4M x 18 has
2M addressable index).
On-Chip Error Correction Code
GSI's ECCRAMs implement an ECC algorithm that detects
and corrects all single-bit memory errors, including those
induced by Soft Error Rate (SER) events such as cosmic rays,
alpha particles, etc. The resulting SER of these devices is
anticipated to be <0.002 FITs/Mb — a 5-order-of-magnitude
improvement over comparable SRAMs with no On-Chip ECC,
which typically have an SER of 200 FITs/Mb or more. SER
quoted above is based on reading taken at sea level.

Power Up Requirements
For reliability purposes, power supplies must power up simultaneously, or in the following sequence:
VSS, VDD, VDDQ, VREF and inputs.
Power supplies must power down simultaneously, or in the reverse sequence.
After power supplies power up, the following start-up sequence must be followed.
Step 1 (Recommended, but not required): Assert RST High for at least 1ms.
While RST is asserted high:
• The DLL is disabled, regardless of the state of the DLL pin.
• Read and Write operations are ignored.
Note: If possible, RST should be asserted High before input clocks (CK, CK, KD, KD) begin toggling, and remain asserted High
until input clocks are stable and toggling within specification, in order to prevent unstable, out-of-spec input clocks from causing
trouble in the SRAM.
Step 2: Begin toggling input clocks.
After input clocks begin toggling, but not necessarily within specification:
• Q are placed in the non-Read state, and remain so until the first Read operation.
• QVLD are driven Low, and remain so until the first Read operation.
• CQ, CQ begin toggling, but not necessarily within specification.
Step 3: Wait until input clocks are stable and toggling within specification.
Step 4: De-assert RST Low (if asserted High).
Step 5: Wait at least 160K (163,840) cycles.
During this time:
• Output driver and input termination impedances are calibrated (i.e. set to the programmed values).
Note: The DLL pin may be asserted High or de-asserted Low during this time. If asserted High, DLL synchronization begins
immediately after output driver and input termination impedance calibration has completed. If de-asserted Low, DLL
synchronization begins after the DLL pin is asserted High (see Step 6). In either case, Step 7 must follow thereafter.
Step 6: Assert DLL pin High (if de-asserted Low).
Step 7: Wait at least 64K (65,536) cycles.
During this time:
• The DLL is enabled and synchronized properly.
After DLL synchronization has completed:
• CQ, CQ begin toggling within specification.
Step 8: Begin initiating Read and Write operations.

GS8673EQ18/36BK-675/625/550/500
Reset (RST) Requirements
Although not generally recommended, RST may be asserted High at any time after completion of the initial power-up sequence
described previously, to reset the SRAM control logic to its initial power-on state. However, whenever RST is subsequently
de-asserted Low (as in Step 4 in the power up sequence), Steps 5~7 in the power-up sequence must be followed before Read and
Write operations are initiated.
Note: Memory array content may be perturbed/corrupted when RST is asserted High.
DLL Operation
An on-chip DLL is used to align output timing with input clocks. The DLL uses the CK input clock as a source, and is enabled
when all of the following conditions are met:
1. The DLL pin is asserted High, and
2. The RST pin is de-asserted Low, and
3. The input clock tKHKH ≤ 6.0ns.
Once enabled, the DLL requires 64K (65,536) stable clock cycles in order to synchronize properly.
The DLL can tolerate changes in input clock frequency due to clock jitter (i.e. such jitter will not cause the DLL to lose lock/
synchronization), provided the cycle-to-cycle jitter does not exceed 200ps (see the tKJITcc specification in the AC Electrical
Characteristics section for more information). However, the DLL must be resynchronized (i.e. disabled and then re-enabled)
whenever the nominal input clock frequency is changed.
When the DLL is enabled, read latency is determined by the RLM mode pins, as defined in the Read Latency section. Output
timing is aligned with the input clocks.
The DLL is disabled when any of the following conditions are met:
1. The DLL pin is de-asserted Low, or
2. The RST pin is asserted High, or
3. The input clock is stopped for at least 30ns, or tKHKH ≥ 30ns.
On-Chip Error Correction
SigmaQuad-IIIe ECCRAMs implement a single-bit error detection and correction algorithm (specifically, a Hamming Code) on
each DDR data word (comprising two 9-bit data bytes) transmitted on each 9-bit data bus (i.e., transmitted on D/Q[8:0], D/Q[17:9],
D/Q[26:18], or D/Q[35:27]). To accomplish this, 5 ECC parity bits (invisible to the user) are utilized per every 18 data bits (visible
to the user).
The ECC algorithm neither corrects nor detects multi-bit errors. However, GSI ECCRAMs are architected in such a way that a
single SER event very rarely causes a multi-bit error across any given “transmitted data unit”, where a “transmitted data unit”
represents the data transmitted as the result of a single read or write operation to a particular address. The extreme rarity of
multi-bit errors results in the SER mentioned previously (i.e., <0.002 FITs/Mb (measured at sea level)).
Not only does the on-chip ECC significantly improve SER performance, but it also frees up the entire memory array for data
storage. Very often SRAM applications allocate 1/9th of the memory array (i.e., one “error bit” per eight “data bits”, in any 9-bit
“data byte”) for error detection (either simple parity error detection, or system-level ECC error detection and correction). Such
error-bit allocation is unnecessary with ECCRAMs the entire memory array can be utilized for data storage, effectively providing
12.5% greater storage capacity compared to SRAMs of the same density not equipped with on-chip ECC.

Functional Description
Separate I/O ECCRAMs, from a system architecture point of view, are attractive in applications that execute continuous
back-to-back alternating Reads and Writes. Therefore, the SigmaQuad-IIIe ECCRAM interface and truth table are optimized for
continuously alternating Reads and Writes. Separate I/O ECCRAMs are unpopular in applications where block transfers of Reads
or Writes are needed because half of the data pins will go unused during the block transfer, potentially cutting Separate I/O
ECCRAM data bandwidth in half. Applications of this sort are better served by Common I/O ECCRAMs such as the
SigmaDDR-IIIe series.

Q1 and Q2 indicate the first and second pieces of Read Data transferred during Read operations.
When D input termination is disabled (MZT[1:0] = 00), Q drivers are disabled (i.e. Q pins are tri-stated) for one cycle in response to NOP and
Write commands, RL cycles after the command is sampled.
When D input termination is enabled (MZT[1:0] = 01 or 10), Q drivers are enabled Low (i.e. Q pins are driven Low) for one cycle in response
to NOP and Write Only commands, RL cycles after the command is sampled. This is done so the Memory Controller can enable On-Die
Termination on its data inputs without having to cope with the termination pulling tri-stated data inputs to VDDQ/2 (i.e. to the switch point of
the data input receivers).

Low Power NOP Mode
When input termination is enabled on the Address (SA) and Write Data (D) inputs, those inputs can be placed in Low Power NOP
(LP NOP) mode via the synchronous ADZT1 input. When NOP operations are initiated with ADZT1 High, the termination
pull-ups on the SA and D inputs are disabled, thereby reducing the DC power associated with those inputs.

Notes:
1. The Controller initiates Write1. The ECCRAM is enabling SA and D termination.
2. The Controller initiates two NOPs (NOP1 ~ NOP2) with ADZT1 High, to cause the ECCRAM to enter LP NOP Mode for two cycles.
The ECCRAM disables SA and D termination pull ups at ↑CK in NOP3, 2 cycles after sampling ADZT1 = 1 at ↑CK in NOP1.
The Controller drives SA, D Low during NOP1 ~ NOP6.
3. The Controller initiates four more NOPs (NOP3 ~ NOP6) with ADZT1 Low, to allow time for the ECCRAM to exit LP NOP Mode.
The ECCRAM enables SA and D termination pull ups at ↑CK in NOP5, 2 cycles after sampling ADZT1 = 0 at ↑CK in NOP3.
4. The Controller initiates Write2. The ECCRAM is enabling SA and D termination.

Input Timing
Address (SA) inputs are latched with CK & CK.
Address input timing is clock-centered; that is, CK & CK edges must be driven such that adequate setup and hold time is provided
to the address input registers, as specified by the ECCRAM.
Control (R, W, ADZT1) inputs are latched with CK.
Control input timing is clock-centered; that is, CK edges must be driven such that adequate setup and hold time is provided to the
control input registers, as specified by the ECCRAM.
Write Data (D) inputs are latched with KD[1:0] and KD[1:0].
1. KD0 and KD0 are used to latch D[17:0] in x36, and D[8:0] in x18.
2. KD1 and KD1 are used to latch D[35:18] in x36, and D[17:9] in x18.
Write Data input timing is clock-centered; that is, KD and KD edges must be driven such that adequate setup and hold time is
provided to the data input registers, as specified by the ECCRAM.
Output Timing
The SigmaQuad-IIIe ECCRAMs feature source-synchronous output clocks, also known as echo clocks. These outputs, CQ0, CQ0,
CQ1, and CQ1 are designed to be electrically identical to data output pins. They are designed to behave just like data output pins.
They are designed to track variances demonstrated by the data outputs due to influences of temperature, voltage, process, or other
factors. As a result, the specifications that describe the relationship between the CQ clock edges and the data output edges are much
tighter than those that describe the relationship between the data outputs and the incoming CK clock.
Note that the CQ clock-to-data output specifications apply to specific combinations of clocks and data, as follows:
1. CQ0 and CQ0 are associated with Q[17:0] in x36, and with Q[8:0] in x18. They are also associated with QVLD0.
2. CQ1 and CQ1 are associated with Q[35:18] in x36, and with Q[17:9] in x18. They are also associated with QVLD1.
As can be seen, the echo clock pairs are, in each case, associated with data output pins on the nearest side of the chip. The left vs.
right side groupings prevent skew across the device and pinout from degrading the data output valid window.

Output Driver Impedance Control
Programmable output drivers have been implemented on Read Data (Q), Read Data Valid (QVLD), and Echo Clocks (CQ, CQ).
The output driver impedance can be programmed via the ZQ pin. When an external impedance-matching resistor (RQ) is
connected between ZQ and VSS, output driver impedance is set to RQ/5 nominally.
Output driver impedance is set to the programmed value within 160K cycles after input clocks are operating within specification,
and RST is de-asserted Low. It is updated periodically thereafter, to compensate for temperature and voltage fluctuations in the
system.
Input Termination Impedance Control
On-die input termination can be enabled on Write Data (D), Address (SA), Control (R, W, ADZT1), and Input Clocks (CK, CK,
KD, KD) via the MZT[1:0] and PZT[1:0] pins. The termination impedance can be programmed via the ZT pin. When an external
impedance-matching resistor (RT) is connected between ZT and VSS, termination impedance is set according to the table below.
Termination impedance is set to the programmed value within 160K cycles after input clocks are operating within specification,
and RST is de-asserted Low. It is updated periodically thereafter, to compensate for temperature and voltage fluctuations in the
system.
Note: When termination impedance is enabled on a particular input, that input should always be driven High or Low; it should
never be tri-stated (i.e., in a High-Z state). If the input is tri-stated, the termination will pull the signal to VDDQ / 2 (i.e., to the
switch point of the diff-amp receiver), which could cause the receiver to enter a meta-stable state and consume more power than it
normally would. This could result in the device’s operating currents being higher.
The following table specifies the pull-up and pull-down termination impedances for each terminated input:

Notes:

2. When MZT[1:0] = 11, input termination state is not specified; it is reserved for future use.
3. During JTAG EXTEST and SAMPLE-Z instructions, input termination is disabled on all inputs.

Notes:
All parameters are measured from the mid-point of the object signal to the mid-point of the reference signal.
1. Parameters apply to CK, CK, KD, KD.
2. Parameter applies when RL=3.
3. Parameter applies when RL=2.
4. Parameter specifies Cycle-to-Cycle (C2C) Jitter (i.e. the maximum variation from clock rising edge to the next clock rising edge).
As such, it limits Period Jitter (i.e. the maximum variation in clock cycle time from nominal) to ± 30ps.
And as such, it limits Absolute Jitter (i.e. the maximum variation in clock rising edge from its nominal position) to ± 15ps.
5. The device can tolerated C2C Jitter greater than 60ps, up to a maximum of 200ps. However, when using a device from a particular speed
bin, tKHKH (min) of that speed bin must be derated (increased) by half the difference between the actual C2C Jitter and 60ps. For example,
if the actual C2C Jitter is 100ps, then tKHKH (min) for the -675 speed bin (RL=3) is derated to 1.5ns (1.48ns + 0.5*(100ps - 60ps)).

JTAG Test Mode Description
These devices provide a JTAG Test Access Port (TAP) and Boundary Scan interface using a limited set of IEEE std. 1149.1
functions. This test mode is intended to provide a mechanism for testing the interconnect between master (processor, controller,
etc.), ECCRAM, other components, and the printed circuit board. In conformance with a subset of IEEE std. 1149.1, these devices
contain a TAP Controller and multiple TAP Registers. The TAP Registers consist of one Instruction Register and multiple Data
Registers.
The TAP consists of the following four signals:
Pin
Pin Name
I/O
Description
TCK
Test Clock
I
Induces (clocks) TAP Controller state transitions.
TMS
Test Mode Select
I
Inputs commands to the TAP Controller.
Sampled on the rising edge of TCK.
TDI
Test Data In
I
Inputs data serially to the TAP Registers.
Sampled on the rising edge of TCK.
TDO
Test Data Out
O
Outputs data serially from the TAP Registers.
Driven from the falling edge of TCK.
Concurrent TAP and Normal ECCRAM Operation
According to IEEE std. 1149.1, most public TAP Instructions do not disrupt normal device operation. In these devices, the only
exceptions are EXTEST and SAMPLE-Z. See the Tap Registers section for more information.
Disabling the TAP
When JTAG is not used, TCK should be tied Low to prevent clocking the ECCRAM. TMS and TDI should either be tied High
through a pull-up resistor or left unconnected. TDO should be left unconnected.

TAP Controller
The TAP Controller is a 16-state state machine that controls access to the various TAP Registers and executes the operations
associated with each TAP Instruction. State transitions are controlled by TMS and occur on the rising edge of TCK.
The TAP Controller enters the Test-Logic Reset state in one of two ways:
1. At power up.
2. When a logic 1 is applied to TMS for at least 5 consecutive rising edges of TCK.
The TDI input receiver is sampled only when the TAP Controller is in either the Shift-IR state or the Shift-DR state.
The TDO output driver is enabled only when the TAP Controller is in either the Shift-IR state or the Shift-DR state.

TAP Registers
TAP Registers are serial shift registers that capture serial input data (from TDI) on the rising edge of TCK, and drive serial output
data (to TDO) on the subsequent falling edge of TCK. They are divided into two groups: Instruction Registers (IR), which are
manipulated via the IR states in the TAP Controller, and Data Registers (DR), which are manipulated via the DR states in the TAP
Controller.
Instruction Register (IR—3 bits)
The Instruction Register stores the various TAP Instructions supported by ECCRAM. It is loaded with the IDCODE instruction
(logic 001) at power-up, and when the TAP Controller is in the Test-Logic Reset and Capture-IR states. It is inserted between TDI
and TDO when the TAP Controller is in the Shift-IR state, at which time it can be loaded with a new instruction. However, newly
loaded instructions are not executed until the TAP Controller has reached the Update-IR state.
The Instruction Register is 3 bits wide, and is encoded as follows:
Code
(2:0)
Instruction
Description
EXTEST
Loads the logic states of all signals composing the ECCRAM I/O ring into the Boundary Scan Register when the TAP Controller is in the Capture-DR state, and inserts the Boundary Scan Register
between TDI and TDO when the TAP Controller is in the Shift-DR state.
Also transfers the contents of the Boundary Scan Register associated with all output signals (Q,
QVLD, CQ, CQ) directly to their corresponding output pins. However, newly loaded Boundary Scan
Register contents do not appear at the output pins until the TAP Controller has reached the
Update-DR state.
Also disables all input termination.
See the Boundary Scan Register description for more information.
IDCODE
Loads a predefined device- and manufacturer-specific identification code into the ID Register when
the TAP Controller is in the Capture-DR state, and inserts the ID Register between TDI and TDO
when the TAP Controller is in the Shift-DR state.
See the ID Register description for more information.
010
SAMPLE-Z
Loads the logic states of all signals composing the ECCRAM I/O ring into the Boundary Scan Register when the TAP Controller is in the Capture-DR state, and inserts the Boundary Scan Register
between TDI and TDO when the TAP Controller is in the Shift-DR state.
Also disables all input termination.
See the Boundary Scan Register description for more information.

PRIVATE

100
SAMPLE
Loads the logic states of all signals composing the ECCRAM I/O ring into the Boundary Scan Register when the TAP Controller is in the Capture-DR state, and inserts the Boundary Scan Register

See the Boundary Scan Register description for more information.

state.

GS8673EQ18/36BK-675/625/550/500
Bypass Register (DR—1 bit)
The Bypass Register is one bit wide, and provides the minimum length serial path between TDI and TDO. It is loaded with a logic
0 when the BYPASS instruction has been loaded in the Instruction Register and the TAP Controller is in the Capture-DR state. It is
inserted between TDI and TDO when the BYPASS instruction has been loaded into the Instruction Register and the TAP
Controller is in the Shift-DR state.
ID Register (DR—32 bits)
The ID Register is loaded with a predetermined device- and manufacturer-specific identification code when the IDCODE
instruction has been loaded into the Instruction Register and the TAP Controller is in the Capture-DR state. It is inserted between
TDI and TDO when the IDCODE instruction has been loaded into the Instruction Register and the TAP Controller is in the
Shift-DR state.
The ID Register is 32 bits wide, and is encoded as follows:
See BSDL Model
(31:12)
GSI ID
(11:1)
Start Bit
(0)
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
0001 1011 001
1
Bit 0 is the LSB of the ID Register, and Bit 31 is the MSB. When the ID Register is selected, TDI serially shifts data into the MSB,
and the LSB serially shifts data out through TDO.
Boundary Scan Register (DR—127 bits)
The Boundary Scan Register is equal in length to the number of active signal connections to the ECCRAM (excluding the TAP
pins) plus a number of place holder locations reserved for functional and/or density upgrades. It is loaded with the logic states of all
signals composing the ECCRAM’s I/O ring when the EXTEST, SAMPLE, or SAMPLE-Z instruction has been loaded into the
Instruction Register and the TAP Controller is in the Capture-DR state. It is inserted between TDI and TDO when the EXTEST,
SAMPLE, or SAMPLE-Z instruction has been loaded into the Instruction Register and the TAP Controller is in the Shift-DR state.
Additionally, the contents of the Boundary Scan Register associated with the ECCRAM outputs (Q, QVLD, CQ, CQ) are driven
directly to the corresponding ECCRAM output pins when the EXTEST instruction is selected. However, after the EXTEST
instruction has been selected, any new data loaded into Boundary Scan Register when the TAP Controller is in the Shift-DR state
does not appear at the output pins until the TAP Controller has reached the Update-DR state.
The value captured in the boundary scan register for NU pins is determined by the external pin state while the NC pins are 0
regardless of the external pin state. The value captured in the internal cells is 1.
Output Driver State During EXTEST
EXTEST allows the Internal Cell (Bit 127) in the Boundary Scan Register to control the state of Q drivers. That is, when Bit 127 =
1, Q drivers are enabled (i.e., driving High or Low), and when Bit 127 = 0, Q drivers are disabled (i.e., forced to High-Z state). See
the Boundary Scan Register section for more information.
Input Termination State During EXTEST and SAMPLE-Z
Input termination on all inputs is disabled during EXTEST and SAMPLE-Z.

Boundary Scan Register Bit Order Assignment
The table below depicts the order in which the bits are arranged in the Boundary Scan Register. Bit 1 is the LSB and Bit 127 is the
MSB. When the Boundary Scan Register is selected, TDI serially shifts data into the MSB, and the LSB serially shifts data out
through TDO.
