PIN NOMENCLATURE
The SMJ44C251B multiport video RAM is a
high-speed, dual-ported memory device. It
consists of a dynamic random-access memory
(DRAM) organized as 262 144 words of 4 bits
each interfaced to a serial-data register or
serial-access memory (SAM) organized as 512
words of 4 bits each. The SMJ44C251B supports
three types of operation: random access to and
from the DRAM, serial access to and from the
serial register, and bidirectional transfer of data
between any row in the DRAM and the serial
register. Except during transfer operations, the
SMJ44C251B can be accessed simultaneously
and asynchronously from the DRAM and SAM
ports.

description (continued)
During a transfer operation, the 512 columns of the DRAM are connected to the 512 positions in the serial data
register. The 512 × 4-bit serial-data register can be loaded from the memory row (transfer read), or the contents
of the 512 × 4-bit serial-data register can be written to the memory row (transfer write).
The SMJ44C251B is equipped with several features designed to provide higher system-level bandwidth and
to simplify design integration on both the DRAM and SAM ports. On the DRAM port, greater pixel draw rates
can be achieved by the device’s 4 × 4 block-write mode. The block-write mode allows four bits of data (present
in an on-chip color-data register) to be written to any combination of four adjacent column-address locations.
As many as 16 bits of data can be written to memory during each CAS cycle time. Also on the DRAM port, a
write mask or a write-per-bit feature allows masking any combination of the four input /outputs on any write cycle.
The persistent write-per-bit feature uses a mask register that, once loaded, can be used on subsequent write
cycles. The mask register eliminates having to provide mask data on every mask-write cycle.
The SMJ44C251B offers a split-register transfer read (DRAM to SAM) feature for the serial tester (SAM port).
This feature enables real-time register reload implementation for truly continuous serial data streams without
critical timing requirements. The register is divided into a high half and a low half. While one half is being read
out of the SAM port, the other half can be loaded from the memory array. For applications not requiring real-time
register reload (for example, reloads done during CRT retrace periods), the single-register mode of operation
is retained to simplify design. The SAM can also be configured in input mode, accepting serial data from an
external device. Once the serial register within the SAM is loaded, its contents can be transferred to the
corresponding column positions in any row in memory in a single memory cycle.
The SAM port is designed for maximum performance. Data can be input to or accessed from the SAM at serial
rates up to 33 MHz. During the split-register mode of operation, internal circuitry detects when the last bit
position is accessed from the active half of the register and immediately transfers control to the opposite half.
A separate output, QSF, is included to indicate which half of the serial register is active at any given time in the
split-register mode.
All inputs, outputs, and clock signals on the SMJ44C251B are compatible with Series 54 TTL devices. All
address lines and data-in lines are latched on-chip to simplify system design. All data-out lines are unlatched
to allow greater system flexibility.

description (continued)
Enhanced page-mode operation allows faster memory access by keeping the same row address while selecting
random column addresses. The time for row-address setup, row-address hold, and address multiplex is
eliminated, and a memory cycle time reduction of up to 3× can be achieved, compared to minimum RAS cycle
times. The maximum number of columns that can be accessed is determined by the maximum RAS low time
and page-mode cycle time used. The SMJ44C251B allows a full page (512 cycles) of information to be
accessed in read, write, or read-modify-write mode during a single RAS-low period using relatively conservative
page-mode cycle times.
The SMJ44C251B employs state-of-the-art technology for very high performance combined with improved
reliability. For surface mount technology, the SMJ44C251B is offered in a 28-pin J-leaded chip carrier package
(HJ suffix) or a 28-pin leadless ceramic chip carrier package (HM suffix). The SMJ44C251B is offered in a 28-pin
400-mil dual-in-line ceramic sidebrazed package (JD suffix) or a 28-pin ZIP ceramic package (SV suffix) for
through-hole insertion. The L suffix device is rated for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The M suffix device is rated
for operation from – 55°C to 125°C.
The SMJ44C251B and other multiport video RAMs are supported by a broad line of video/graphic processors
from Texas Instruments, including the SMJ34010 and the SMJ34020 graphics processors.

The SMJ44C251B has three kinds of operations: random-access operations typical of a DRAM, transfer
operations from memory arrays to the SAM, and serial-access operations through the SAM port. The signals
used to control these operations are described here, followed by discussions of the operations themselves.
address (A0 – A8)
For DRAM operation, 18 address bits are required to decode one of the 262 144 storage cell locations. Nine
row-address bits are set up on A0 – A8 and latched onto the chip on the falling edge of RAS. Nine
column-address bits are set up on A0 – A8 and latched onto the chip on the falling edge of CAS. All addresses
must be stable on or before the falling edges of RAS and CAS.
During the transfer operation, the states of A0 – A8 are latched on the falling edge of RAS to select one of the
512 rows where the transfer occurs. To select one of 512 tap points (starting positions) for the serial-data input
or output, the appropriate 9-bit column address (A0 – A8) must be valid when CAS falls.
row-address strobe (RAS)
RAS is similar to a chip enable because all DRAM cycles and transfer cycles are initiated by the falling edge
of RAS. RAS is a control input that latches the states of row address, W, TRG, SE, CAS, and DSF onto the chip
to invoke DRAM and transfer functions.
column-address strobe (CAS)
CAS is a control input that latches the states of column address and DSF to control DRAM and transfer functions.
When CAS is brought low during a transfer cycle, it latches the new tap point for the serial-data input or output.
CAS also acts as an output enable for the DRAM outputs DQ0 – DQ3.

SMJ44C251B
262144 BY 4-BIT
MULTIPORT VIDEO RAM
SGMS058A – MARCH 1995 – REVISED JUNE 1995
output enable / transfer select ( TRG)
TRG selects either DRAM or transfer operation as RAS falls. For DRAM operation, TRG must be held high as
RAS falls. During DRAM operation, TRG functions as an output enable for the DRAM outputs DQ0 – DQ3. For
transfer operation, TRG must be brought low before RAS falls.
write-mask select, write enable ( W)
In DRAM operation, W enables data to be written to the DRAM. W is also used to select the DRAM write-per-bit
mode. Holding W low on the falling edge of RAS invokes the write-per-bit operation. The SMJ44C251B supports
both the normal write-per-bit mode and the persistent write-per-bit mode.
For transfer operation, W selects either a read-transfer operation (DRAM to SAM) or a write-transfer operation
(SAM to DRAM). During a transfer cycle, if W is high when RAS falls, a read transfer occurs; if W is low, a write
transfer occurs.
special function select (DSF)
DSF is latched on the falling edge of RAS or CAS, similar to an address. DSF determines which of the following
functions are invoked on a particular cycle:
D
D
D
D
D
Persistent write-per-bit
Block write
Split-register transfer read
Mask-register load for the persistent write-per-bit mode
Color-register load for the block-write mode
DRAM data I/O, write-mask data (DQ0 – DQ3)
DRAM data is written via DQ terminals during a write or read-modify-write cycle. In an early-write cycle, W is
brought low prior to CAS and the data is strobed in by CAS with data setup and hold times referenced to this
signal. In a delayed-write or read-modify-write cycle, W is brought low after CAS and the data is strobed in by
W with data setup and hold times referenced to this signal.
The 3-state DQ output buffers provide direct TTL compatibility (no pullup resistors) with a fanout of two Series
54 TTL loads. Data out is the same polarity as data in. The outputs are in the high-impedance (floating) state
as long as CAS and TRG are held high. Data does not appear at the outputs until both CAS and TRG are brought
low. Once the outputs are valid, they remain valid while CAS and TRG are low. CAS or TRG going high returns
the outputs to the high-impedance state. In a register-transfer operation, the DQ outputs remain in the
high-impedance state for the entire cycle.
The write-per-bit mask is latched into the device via the random DQ terminals by the falling edge of RAS. This
mask selects which of the four random I/Os are written.
serial data I/O (SDQ0 – SDQ3)
Serial inputs and serial outputs share common I/O terminals. Serial-input or serial-output mode is determined
by the previous transfer cycle. If the previous transfer cycle was a read transfer, the data register is in
serial-output mode. While in serial-output mode, data in SAM is accessed from the least significant bit to the
most significant bit. The data registers operate modulo 512; so after bit 511 is accessed, the next bits to be
accessed are 00, 01, 02, etc. If the previous transfer cycle was either a write transfer or a pseudo transfer, the
data register is in serial-input mode and signal data can be input to the register.
serial clock (SC)
Serial data is accessed in or out of the data register on the rising edge of SC. The SMJ44C251B is designed
to work with a wide range of clock-duty cycles to simplify system design. There is no refresh requirement
because the data registers that comprise the SAM are static. There is also no minimum SC clock operating
frequency.

SMJ44C251B
262144 BY 4-BIT
MULTIPORT VIDEO RAM
SGMS058A – MARCH 1995 – REVISED JUNE 1995
serial enable (SE)
During serial-access operations SE is used as an enable/disable for SDQ in both the input and output modes.
If SE is held as RAS falls during a write-transfer cycle, a pseudo-transfer write occurs. There is no actual transfer,
but the data register switches from the output mode to the input mode.
no connect / ground (NC/GND)
NC/GND is reserved for the manufacturer’s test operation. It is an input and should be tied to system ground
or left floating for proper device operation.
special function output (QSF)
During split-register operation the QSF output indicates which half of the SAM is being accessed. When QSF
is low, the serial-address pointer is accessing the lower (least significant) 256 bits of SAM. When QSF is high,
the serial-address pointer is accessing the higher (most significant) 256 bits of SAM. QSF changes state upon
crossing the boundary between the two SAM halves in the split-register mode.
During normal transfer operations QSF changes state upon completing a transfer cycle. This state is determined
by the tap point being loaded during the transfer cycle.
power up
To achieve proper device operation, an initial pause of 200 µs is required after power-up, followed by a minimum
of eight RAS cycles or eight CBR cycles, a memory-to-register transfer cycle, and two SC cycles.

enhanced page mode
Enhanced page-mode operation allows faster memory access by keeping the same row address while selecting
random column addresses. This mode eliminates the time required for row address setup-and-hold and
address multiplex. The maximum RAS low time and the CAS page cycle time used determine the number of
columns that can be accessed.
Unlike conventional page-mode operation, the enhanced page mode allows the SMJ44C251B to operate at a
higher data bandwidth. Data retrieval begins as soon as the column address is valid rather than when CAS
transitions low. A valid column address can be presented immediately after row-address hold time has been
satisfied, usually well in advance of the falling edge of CAS. In this case, data can be obtained after ta(C) max
(access time from CAS low), if ta(CA) max (access time from column address) has been satisfied.
refresh
There are three types of refresh available on the SMJ44C251B: RAS-only refresh, CBR refresh, and hidden
refresh.

RAS-only refresh
A refresh operation must be performed to each row at least once every 8 ms to retain data. Unless CAS is
applied, the output buffers are in the high-impedance state, so the RAS-only refresh sequence avoids any
output during refresh. Externally generated addresses must be supplied during RAS-only refresh. Strobing each
of the 512 row addresses with RAS causes all bits in each row to be refreshed. CAS can remain high (inactive)
for this refresh sequence to conserve power.
CAS-before-RAS (CBR) refresh
CBR refresh is accomplished by bringing CAS low earlier than RAS. The external row address is ignored and
the refresh row address is generated internally when using CBR refresh. Other cycles can be performed in
between CBR cycles without disturbing the internal address generation.
hidden refresh
A hidden refresh is accomplished by holding CAS low in the DRAM-read cycle and cycling RAS. The output data
of the DRAM-read cycle remains valid while the refresh is being carried out. Like the CBR refresh, the refreshed
row addresses are generated internally during the hidden refresh.
write-per-bit
The write-per-bit feature allows masking of any combination of the four DQs on any write cycle (see Figure 1).
The write-per-bit operation is invoked only when W is held low on the falling edge of RAS. If W is held high on
the falling edge of RAS, write-per-bit is not enabled and the write operation is performed to all four DQs. The
SMJ44C251B offers two write-per-bit modes: the nonpersistent write-per-bit mode and the persistent
write-per-bit mode.
nonpersistent write-per-bit
When DSF is low on the falling edge of RAS, the write mask is reloaded. A 4-bit code (the write-per-bit mask)
is input to the device via the random DQ terminals and latched on the falling edge of RAS. The write-per-bit mask
selects which of the four random I/Os are written and which are not. After RAS has latched the on-chip
write-per-bit mask, input data is driven onto the DQ terminals and is latched on the later falling edge of CAS or
W. When a data low is strobed into a particular I/O on the falling edge of RAS, data is not written to that I/O. When
a data high is strobed into a particular I/O on the falling edge of RAS, data is written to that I/O.
persistent write-per-bit
When DSF is high on the falling edge of RAS, the write-per-bit mask is not reloaded: it retains the value stored
during the last write-per-bit mask reload. This mode of operation is known as persistent write-per-bit because
the write-per-bit mask is persistent over an arbitrary number of write cycles. The write-per-bit mask reload can
be done during the nonpersistent write-per-bit cycle or by the mask-register-load cycle.

block write
The block-write mode allows data (present in an on-chip color register) to be written into four consecutive
column-address locations. The 4-bit color register is loaded by the color-register-load cycle. Both write-per-bit
modes can be applied in the block-write cycle. The block-write mode also offers the 4 × 4 column-mask
capability.
load color register
The load-color-register cycle is performed using normal DRAM write-cycle timing except that DSF is held high
on the falling edges of RAS and CAS. A 4-bit code is input to the color register via the random I/O terminals and
latched on the later of the falling edge of CAS or W. After the color register is loaded, it retains data until power
is lost or until another load-color-register cycle is executed.
block write cycle
After the color register is loaded, the block-write cycle can begin as a normal DRAM write cycle with DSF held
high on the falling edge of CAS (see Figures 2, 3, and 4). When the block-write cycle is invoked, each data bit
in the 4-bit color register is written to selected bits of the four adjacent columns of the corresponding random
I/O.
During block-write cycles, only the seven most significant column addresses (A2 – A8) are latched on the falling
edge of CAS. The two least significant addresses (A0 – A1) are replaced by four DQ bits (DQ0 –DQ3), which
are also latched on the later of the falling edge of CAS or W. These four bits are used as a column mask, and
they indicate which of the four column-address locations addressed by A2 – A8 are written with the contents of
the color register during the block-write cycle. DQ0 enables a write to column-address A1 = 0 (low), A0 = 0 (low);
DQ1 enables a write to column-address A1 = 0 (low), A0 = 1 (high); DQ2 enables a write to column-address
A1 = 1 (high), A0 = 0 (low); DQ3 enables a write to column-address A1 = 1 (high), A0 = 1 (high). A high logic
level enables a write, and a low logic level disables the write. A maximum of 16 bits (4 × 4) can be written to
memory during each CAS cycle in the block-write mode.

transfer operation
Transfer operations between the memory arrays (DRAM) and the data registers (SAM) are invoked by bringing
TRG low before RAS falls. The states of W, SE, and DSF, which are also latched on the falling edge of RAS,
determine which transfer operation is invoked. Figure 5 shows an overview of data flow between the random
and the serial interfaces.

D
Register-to-memory transfer (normal write transfer, SAM to DRAM)
Alternate-write transfer (independent of the state of SE)
Memory-to-register transfer (pseudo-transfer write). Switches serial port from serial-out mode to serial-in
mode. No actual data transfer takes place between the DRAM and the SAM.
Memory-to-register transfer (normal-read transfer, transfer entire contents of DRAM row to SAM)
Split-register-read transfer (divides the SAM into a low and a high half. Only one half is transferred to the
SAM while the other half is read from the serial I/O port.)

write transfer
All write-transfer cycles (except the pseudo write transfer) transfer the entire content of SAM to the selected row
in the DRAM. To invoke a write-transfer cycle, W must be low when RAS falls. There are three possible
write-transfer operations: normal-write transfer, alternate-write transfer, and pseudo-write transfer.
All write-transfer cycles switch the serial port to the serial-in mode.
normal-write transfer (SAM-to-DRAM transfer)
A normal-write transfer cycle loads the contents of the serial-data register to a selected row in the memory array.
TRG, W, and SE are brought low and latched at the falling edge of RAS. Nine row-address bits (A0 – A8) are
also latched at the falling edge of RAS to select one of the 512 rows available as the destination of the data
transfer. The nine column-address bits (A0 – A8) are latched at the falling edge of CAS to select one of the 512
tap points in SAM that are available for the next serial input.
During a write-transfer operation before RAS falls, the serial-input operation must be suspended after a
minimum delay of td(SCRL) but can be resumed after a minimum delay of td(RHSC) after RAS goes high
(see Figure 6).

Figure 6. Normal-Write-Transfer-Cycle Timing
alternate-write transfer (refer to Figure 30)
When DSF is brought high and latched at the falling edge of RAS in the normal-write-transfer cycle, the
alternate-write transfer occurs.
pseudo-write transfer (write-mode control) (refer to Figure 28)
To invoke the pseudo-write transfer (write-mode control cycle), SE is brought high and latched at the falling edge
of RAS. The pseudo-write transfer does not actually invoke any data transfer but switches the mode of the serial
port from the serial-out (read) mode to the serial-in (write) mode.
Before serial data can be clocked into the serial port via the SDQ terminals and the SC input, the SDQ terminals
must be switched into input mode. Because the transfer does not occur during the pseudo-transfer write, the
row address (A0 – A8) is in the don’t care state and the column address (A0 – A8), which is latched on the falling
edge of CAS, selects one of the 512 tap points in the SAM that are available for the next serial input.
read transfer (DRAM-to-SAM transfer) (refer to Figure 7)
During a read-transfer cycle, data from the selected row in DRAM is transferred to SAM. There are two
read-transfer operations: normal-read transfer and split-register-read transfer.
normal-read transfer (refer to Figure 7)
The normal-read-transfer operation loads data from a selected row in DRAM into SAM. TRG is brought low and
latched at the falling edge of RAS. Nine row-address bits (A0 – A8) are also latched at the falling edge of RAS
to select one of the 512 rows available for transfer. The nine column-address bits (A0 – A8) are latched at the
falling edge of CAS to select one of the SAM’s 512 available tap points where the serial data is read out.
A normal-read transfer can be performed in three ways: early-load read transfer, real-time or midline-load read
transfer, and late-load read transfer. Each of these offers the flexibility of controlling the TRG trailing edge in
the read-transfer cycle (see Figure 7).

Figure 7. Normal-Read-Transfer Timings
split-register-read transfer
In split-register-read-transfer operation, the serial-data register is split into halves. The low half contains bits
0 – 255, and the high half contains 256 – 511. While one half is being read out of the SAM port, the other half can
be loaded from the memory array.
To invoke a split-register read-transfer cycle, DSF is brought high, TRG is brought low, and both are latched at
the falling edge of RAS. Nine row-address bits (A0 – A8) are also latched at the falling edge of RAS to select
one of the 512 rows available for the transfer. The nine column-address bits (A0 –A8) are latched at the falling
edge of CAS, where address bits A0 – A7 select one of the 255 tap points in the specified half of SAM and
address bit A8 selects which half is to be transferred. If A8 is a logic low, the low half is transferred. If A8 is a
logic high, the high half is transferred. SAM locations 255 and 511 cannot be used as tap points.
A normal-read transfer must precede the split-register-read transfer to ensure proper operation. After the
normal-read-transfer cycle, the first split-register read transfer can follow immediately without any minimum SC
requirement. However, there is a minimum requirement of a rising edge of SC between split-register
read-transfer cycles.
QSF indicates which half of the SAM is being accessed during serial-access operation. When QSF is low, the
serial-address pointer is accessing the lower (least significant) 256 bits of the SAM. When QSF is high, the
pointer is accessing the higher (most significant) 256 bits of the SAM. QSF changes state upon completing a
normal-read-transfer cycle. The tap point loaded during the current transfer cycle determines the state of QSF.
In split-register read-transfer mode, QSF changes state when a boundary between the two register halves is
reached (see Figure 8 and Figure 9).

serial-access operation
The serial-read and serial-write operations can be performed through the SAM port simultaneously and
asynchronously with DRAM operations except during transfer operations. The preceding transfer operation
determines the input or output state of the SAM port. If the preceding transfer operation is a read-transfer
operation, the SAM port is in the output mode. If the preceding transfer operation is a write- or
pseudo-write-transfer operation, the SAM port is in the input mode.
Serial data can be read out of or written into SAM by clocking SC starting at the tap point loaded by the preceding
transfer cycle, proceeding sequentially to the most significant bit (bit 511), then wrapping around to the least
significant bit (bit 0) (see Figure 10).

NOTES: 9. All cycle times assume tt = 5 ns.
10. When the odd tap is used (tap address can be 0 – 511, and odd taps are 1, 3, 5, etc.), the cycle time for SC in the first serial data
out cycle needs to be 70 ns minimum.
11. In a read-modify-write cycle, td(CLWL) and tsu( WCH) must be observed. Depending on the user’s transition times, this may require
additional CAS low time [tw(CL)].
12. In a read-modify-write cycle, td(RLWL) and tsu( WRH) must be observed. Depending on the user’s transition times, this may require
additional RAS low time [tw(RL)].

NOTES: 13. Register-to-memory (write) transfer cycles only
19. The maximum value is specified only to assure RAS access time.
20. CAS-before-RAS refresh operation only
21. Early-load read-transfer cycle only
22. Real-time-reload read-transfer cycle only
23. Late-load read-transfer cycle only
24. In a read-transfer cycle, the state of SC when RAS falls is a don’t care condition. However, to assure proper sequencing of the internal
clock circuitry, there can be no positive transitions of SC for at least 10 ns prior to when RAS goes low.
25. In a memory-to-register (read) transfer cycle, td(SCRL) applies only when the SAM was previously in serial-input mode.
26. Memory-to-register (read) and register-to-memory (write) transfer cycles only
27. Serial data-in cycles only

NOTES: A. Early-load operation is defined as th( TRG) min < th( TRG) < td(RLTH) min.
B. DQ outputs remain in the high-impedance state for the entire memory-to-data-register transfer cycle. The memory-to-data-register
transfer cycle is used to load the data registers in parallel from the memory array. The 512 locations in each data register are written
from the 512 corresponding columns of the selected row. The data that is transferred into the data registers can be either shifted
out or transferred back into another row.
C. Once data is transferred into the data registers, the SAM is in the serial-read mode (i.e., SQ is enabled), allowing data to be shifted
out of the registers. Also, the first bit to be read from the data register after TRG has gone high must be activated by a positive
transition of SC.

NOTES: A. Late-load operation is defined as td( THRH) < 0 ns.
B. DQ outputs remain in the high-impedance state for the entire memory-to-data-register transfer cycle. The memory-to-data-register
transfer cycle is used to load the data registers in parallel from the memory array. The 512 locations in each data register are written
from the 512 corresponding columns of the selected row. The data that is transferred into the data registers can be either shifted
out or transferred back into another row.
C. Once data is transferred into the data registers, the SAM is in the serial read mode (i.e., SQ is enabled), allowing data to be shifted
out of the registers. Also, the first bit to be read from the data register after TRG has gone high must be activated by a positive
transition of SC.

NOTES: A. In order to achieve proper split-register operation, a normal read transfer should be performed before the first split-register transfer
cycle. This is necessary to initialize the data register and the starting tap location. First serial access can then begin either after the
normal read-transfer cycle (CASE I), during the first split-register cycle (CASE II), or even after the first split-register transfer cycle
(CASE III). There is no minimum requirement of SC clock between the normal read-transfer cycle and the first split-register cycle.
B. A split register transfer into the inactive half is not allowed until td(MSRL) is met. td(MSRL) is the minimum delay time between the rising
edge of the serial clock of the last bit (bit 255 or 511) and the falling edge of RAS of the split-register transfer cycle into the inactive
half. After td(MSRL) is met, the split-register transfer into the inactive half must also satisfy the td(RHMS) requirement. td(RHMS) is the
minimum delay time between the rising edge of RAS of the split-register transfer cycle into the inactive half and the rising edge of
the serial clock of the last bit (bit 255 or 511). There is a minimum requirement of one rising edge of SC clock between two split-register
transfer cycles.

NOTES: A. The serial data-in cycle is used to input serial data into the data registers. Before data can be written into the data registers via the
SDQ terminals, the device must be put into the write mode by performing a write-mode-control (pseudo-transfer) cycle or any other
write-transfer cycle. A read-transfer cycle is the only cycle that takes the serial port (SAM) out of the write mode and puts it into the
read mode, disabling the input data. Data is written starting at the location specified by the input address loaded on the previous
transfer cycle.
B. While accessing data in the serial-data registers, the state of TRG is a don’t care as long as TRG is held high when RAS goes low
to prevent data transfers between memory and data registers.
