AL422
1.0 Description
The AL422 consists of 3M-bits of DRAM, and is configured as 393,216 words x 8 bit FIFO (first in
first out). The interface is very user-friendly since all complicated DRAM operations are already
managed by the internal DRAM controller.
Current sources of similar memory (field memory) in the market provide limited memory size which
is only enough for holding one TV field, but not enough to hold a whole PC video frame which
normally contains 640x480 or 720x480 bytes. The AverLogic AL422 provides 50% more memory
to support high resolution for digital PC graphics or video applications. The 50% increase in speed
also expands the range of applications.

AL422-03 Block Diagram
The I/O pinouts and functions are described as follows:
DI7~DI0 Data Input: Data is input on the rising edge of the cycle of WCK when /WE is pulled low
(enabled).
DO7~DO0 Data Output: Data output is synchronized with the RCK clock. Data is obtained at the
rising edge of the RCK clock when /RE is pulled low. The access time is defined from the rising edge
of the RCK cycle.
WCK Write Clock Input: The write data input is synchronized with this clock. Write data is input at
the rising edge of the WCK cycle when /WE is pulled low (enabled). The internal write address
pointer is incremented automatically with this clock input.
RCK Read Clock Input: The read data output is synchronized with this clock. Read data output at
the rising edge of the RCK cycle when /OE is pulled low (enabled). The internal read address pointer
is incremented with this clock input.
/WE Write Enable Input: /WE controls the enabling/disabling of the data input. When /WE is
pulled low, input data is acquired at the rising edge of the WCK cycle. When /WE is pulled high, the
AL422B
January 23, 2001
13
AL422
memory does not accept data input. The write address pointer is stopped at the current position. /WE
signal is fetched at the rising edge of the WCK cycle.
/RE Read Enable Input: /RE controls the operation of the data output. When /RE is pulled low,
output data is provided at the rising edge of the RCK cycle and the internal read address is
incremented automatically. /RE signal is fetched at the rising edge of the RCK cycle.
/OE Output Enable Input: /OE controls the enabling/disabling of the data output. When /OE is
pulled low, output data is provided at the rising edge of the RCK cycle. When /OE is pulled high, data
output is disabled and the output pins remain at high impedance status. /OE signal is fetched at the
rising edge of RCK cycle.
/WRST Write Reset Input: This reset signal initializes the write address to 0, and is fetched at the
rising edge of the WCK input cycle.
/RRST Write Reset Input: This reset signal initializes the read address to 0, and is fetched at the
rising edge of the RCK input cycle.
TST Test Pin: For testing purpose only. It should be pulled low for normal applications.
DEC: Decoupling cap pin, should be connected to a 1µF or 2.2µF capacitor to ground for 5V
application. For 3.3V application, the DEC pin can be simply connected to the 3.3V power with
regular 0.1µF bypass capacitor.
8.1 Memory Operation
Initialization
Apply /WRST and /RRST 0.1ms after power on, then follow the following instructions for normal
operation.
Reset Operation
The reset signal can be given at any time regardless of the /WE, /RE and /OE status, however, they
still need to meet the setup time and hold time requirements with reference to the clock input. When
the reset signal is provided during disabled cycles, the reset operation is not executed until cycles are
enabled again. When /WRST signal is pulled low, the data input address will be set to 0 and the data
in the Input Buffer will be flushed into memory cell array. When /RRST signal is pulled low, the data
output address will be set to 0 and pre-fetch the data from memory cell array to Output Buffer.
AL422B
January 23, 2001

AL422
Write Operation
Data input DI7~DI0 is written into the write register at the WCK input when /WE is pulled low. The
write data should meet the setup time and hold time requirements with reference to the WCK input
cycle.
Write operation is prohibited when /WE is pulled high, and the write address pointer is stopped at the
current position. The write address starts from there when the /WE is pulled low again. The /WE
signal needs to meet the setup time and hold time requirements with reference to the WCK input cycle.
Read Operation
Data output DO7~DO0 is written into the read register at the RCK input when both /RE and /OE are
pulled low. The output data is ready after TAC (access time) from the rising edge of the RCK input
cycle.
The read address pointer is stopped at the current position when /RE is pulled high, and starts there
when /RE is pulled low again.
/OE needs to be pulled low for read operations. When /OE is pulled high, the data outputs will be at
high impedance stage. The read address pointer still increases synchronously with RCK regardless of
the /OE status. The /RE and /OE signals need to meet the setup time and hold time requirements with
reference to the RCK input cycle.
When the new data is read, the read address should be between 128 to 393,247 cycles after the write
address, otherwise the output may not be new data.
8.2 5V and 3.3V applications
The AL422 can accept either 3.3V or 5V power with slightly different external configuration. The
internal voltage regulator can convert 5V power to 3.3V for the embedded DRAM and logic circuitry
when 5V power is applied to VDD pin (#10) only and leave the DEC pin (#19) decoupled by a
capacitor of 1µF or 2.2µF to ground. The regulator can also be bypassed when 3.3V power is applied
to both VDD and DEC pins. In either case the AL422 is 5V or 3.3V I/O tolerant. The 3.3V
configuration consumes less power and is free from noise interference from the voltage regulator so
may be more ideal for high-speed applications.
Please note that using the AL422B with 5V configuration can directly replace the previous AL422V5;
using it with 3.3V configuration can directly replace the previous AL422V3. No additional
modification is required.

8.3 Application Notes
8.3.1 Irregular Read/Write
It is recommended that the WCK and RCK are kept running at least 1MHz at all times. The faster one
of WCK and RCK is used as the DRAM refresh timing clock and has to be kept free running. When
irregular FIFO I/O control is needed, keep the clock free running and use /WE or /RE to control the
I/O as follows:

8.3.2 The Proper Manipulation of FIFO Access
The FIFO memory is designed to allow easy field delay, time-base conversion, and other types of
signal processing. To ensure the expectant data can be read out from the AL422 FIFO, the proper
manipulation on the AL422 FIFO memory is highly recommended
1. The read address should be between 128 to 393,247 cycles after the write address to read the
current field data. (The restriction is indicated in the “Read Operation” Section).
2. The proper FIFO access must make sure after read reset, the read operation will either read all the
old data (last field data) until next read reset, or follow the constraint 1 above to read newly update
data. In any 2 read resets interval, the FIFO access can not read old data (the field data are written
before last write reset), and stop for a period then read the newly update data (even at that time,
write counter is ahead of read counter by more than 128 cycles).
If the FIFO memory manipulations violate the above conditions, some amount of consecutive
unexpected data (old data) will be read at the FIFO data bus.
8.3.3 Single Field Write with Multiple Read Operation
It is one of the functions for FIFO memory that can buffer a field data and do multiple times of fields
read access. In some applications, such as still image capturing, require one field write and multiple
field data read operations. In order not to violate the 128 cycles of write to read delay latency rule,
the write address (pointer) needs to be reset to 0 for the coming multiple read operations so that FIFO
can provide the expectant data at DO bus.
8.3.4 One Field Delay Line (The Old Data Read)
As the design shown in diagram by applying the reset every 1-field cycle (with the common signal for
/WRST and /RRST) and a constant read/write operation (with all /WE, /RE and /OE are tied to
ground), “1 field delay line” timing is shown in timing chart below. When the difference between the
AL422B

write address and the read address is 0 (the read address and the write address are the same), the old
field data are read as shown in the timing chart.
