The device is fabricated using advanced CMOS technology and innovative design techniques resulting in high speed, extremely low power and wide operating margins at component and system levels. The Alliance 16Mb DRAM family is optimized for use as main memory in PCs, workstations, routers and switch applications. The device features a high speed page mode operation where read and write operations within a single row (or page) can be executed at very high speed by toggling column addresses within that row. Row and column addresses are alternately latched into input buffers using the falling edge of RAS and CAS inputs respectively. Four individual CAS pins allow for separate I/O operation which enables the device to operate in parity mode. Also, RAS is used to make the column address latch transparent, enabling application of column addresses prior to CAS assertion. Refresh on the 2048 address combinations of A0 to A10 must be performed every 32 ms using: • RAS-only refresh: RAS is asserted while CAS is held high. Each of the 2048 rows must be strobed. Outputs remain high impedence. • Hidden refresh: CAS is held low while RAS is toggled. Refresh address is generated internally. Outputs remain low impedence with previous valid data. • CAS-before-RAS refresh (CBR): CAS is asserted prior to RAS. Refresh address is generated internally. Outputs are high-impedence (OE and WE are don't care). • Normal read or write cycles refresh the row being accessed. The AS4C4M4F1Q is available in the standard 28-pin plastic SOJ and 28-pin plastic TSOP packages. The AS4C4M4F1Q operates with a single power supply of 5V ± 0.5V and provides TTL compatible inputs and outputs. /RJLFEORFNGLDJUDPIRU.UHIUHVK :( &$6FORFN JHQHUDWRU :(FORFN JHQHUDWRU $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 'DWD ,2 EXIIHUV ,2WR,2 6HQVHDPS 2( 5RZGHFRGHU &$6 5$6FORFN JHQHUDWRU $GGUHVVEXIIHUV *1' 5$6 &ROXPQGHFRGHU 5HIUHVK FRQWUROOHU 9&& î $UUD\ 6XEVWUDWHELDV JHQHUDWRU 5HFRPPHQGHGRSHUDWLQJFRQGLWLRQV Parameter Supply voltage Input voltage Ambient operating temperature Symbol Min Nominal Max Unit VCC 4.5 5.0 5.5 V GND 0.0 0.0 0.0 V VIH 2.4 – VCC V VIL –0.5† – 0.8 V TA 0 70 °C †V min -3.0V for pulse widths less than 5 ns.

ICC1 and ICC4 depend on output loading. Specified values are obtained with the output open. An initial pause of 200 µs is required after power-up followed by any 8 RAS cycles before proper device operation is achieved. In the case of an internal refresh counter, a minimum of 8 CAS-before-RAS initialization cycles instead of 8 RAS cycles are required. 8 initialization cycles are required after extended periods of bias without clocks (greater than 8 ms). AC Characteristics assume tT = 2 ns. All AC parameters are measured with a load equivalent to two TTL loads and 50 pF, VIL (min) ≥ GND and VIH (max) ≤ VCC. VIH (min) and VIL (max) are reference levels for measuring timing of input signals. Transition times are measured between VIH and VIL. Operation within the tRCD (max) limit insures that tRAC (max) can be met. tRCD (max) is specified as a reference point only. If tRCD is greater than the specified tRCD (max) limit, then access time is controlled exclusively by tCAC. Operation within the tRAD (max) limit insures that tRAC (max) can be met. tRAD (max) is specified as a reference point only. If tRAD is greater than the specified tRAD (max) limit, then access time is controlled exclusively by tAA. Assumes three state test load (5 pF and a 380 Ω Thevenin equivalent). Either tRCH or tRRH must be satisfied for a read cycle. tOFF (max) defines the time at which the output achieves the open circuit condition; it is not referenced to output voltage levels. tOFF is referenced from rising edge of RAS or CAS, whichever occurs last. tWCS, tWCH, tRWD, tCWD and tAWD are not restrictive operating parameters. They are included in the datasheet as electrical characteristics only. If tWS ≥ tWS (min) and tWH ≥ tWH (min), the cycle is an early write cycle and data out pins will remain open circuit, high impedance, throughout the cycle. If tRWD ≥ tRWD (min), tCWD ≥ tCWD (min) and tAWD ≥ tAWD (min), the cycle is a read-write cycle and the data out will contain data read from the selected cell. If neither of the above conditions is satisfied, the condition of the data out at access time is indeterminate. These parameters are referenced to CAS leading edge in early write cycles and to WE leading edge in read-write cycles. Access time is determined by the longest of tCAA or tCAC or tCPA tASC ≥ tCP to achieve tPC (min) and tCPA (max) values. These parameters are sampled and not 100% tested. These characteristics apply to AS4C4M4F1Q 5V devices. $&WHVWFRQGLWLRQV - Access times are measured with output reference levels of VOH = 2.4V and VOL = 0.4V, VIH = 2.4V and VIL = 0.8V - Input rise and fall times: 2 ns +5V R1 = 828Ω Dout 50 pF* R2 = 295Ω *including scope and jig capacitance GND Figure A: Equivalent output load AS4C4M4F1 .H\WRVZLWFKLQJZDYHIRUPV Rising input 3/22/02; v.1.3 Falling input Alliance Semiconductor Undefined output/don’t care P. 7 of 14 $6&0)4 5HDGZDYHIRUP tRC tRAS tRCD tRSH tRP RAS tCSH tCRP tCAH tCAS tASC tRCS CAS tRAD tRAH tASR Address tRAL Row address Column address tRRH tRCH WE tROH tROH tWEZ OE tOEZ tRAC tAA tOFF (see note 11) tOEA tCAC tREZ tCLZ DQ Data out tOLZ (DUO\ZULWHZDYHIRUP tRC tRAS tRP RAS tCSH tRSH tCRP tRCD tCAS CAS tRAD tRAL tASC tASR Address tRAH tCAH Row address Column address tCWL tRWL tWP tWCS tWCH WE OE tDS DQ 3/22/02; v.1.3 tDH Data in Alliance Semiconductor P. 8 of 14 $6&0)4 :ULWHZDYHIRUP 2(FRQWUROOHG W5& W5$6 W53 RAS W&6+ W&53 W56+ W&$6 W5&' CAS W5$/ W5$' W5$+ W$65 W$6& W&$+ Row address Address Column address W5:/ W&:/ W:3 WE W2(+ OE W'6 W2(' W'+ Data in DQ 5HDGPRGLI\ZULWHZDYHIRUP tRWC tRAS tRP RAS tCAS tCRP tRCD tRSH tCSH CAS tAR tRAL tRAD tRAH tASR Address tASC tCAH Row address Column address tRWD tRWL tAWD tRCS WE tCWL tCWD tOEA tOEZ tWP tOED OE tRAC tAA tCAC tCLZ Data out DQ tDS tDH Data in tOLZ 3/22/02; v.1.3 Alliance Semiconductor P. 9 of 14 $6&0)4 )DVWSDJHPRGHUHDGZDYHIRUP W5$63 W53 RAS W&6+ W&53 W56+ W5&' W&$6 W&3 W3& CAS W$5 W5$' W$65 $GGUHVV W5$/ W$6& W5$+ 5RZ &ROXPQ W5&6 W&$+ &ROXPQ &ROXPQ W5&6 W5&+ W55+ W5&+ WE W2($ W2($ OE W5$& W2(= W&/= W$$ ,2 W&$3 W2)) W&$& 'DWDRXW 'DWDRXW 'DWDRXW )DVWSDJHPRGHE\WHZULWHZDYHIRUP W5$63 W53 RAS W3&0 W&6+ W5&' CAS W&3 W&53 W5$' W$65 $GGUHVV W&$6 W5$/ W5$+ 5RZ W&$+ W&$+ &ROXPQ &ROXPQ W5:' W5&6 W&$+ &ROXPQ W&:/ W&:' W5:/ W&:' W&:' W$:' W$:' W&:/ W:3 WE W2($ W2(= W2(' W2($ OE W$$ W5$& W&/= W'+ W'6 W&$& I/O 3/22/02; v.1.3 'DWDLQ 'DWDRXW W'6 W&$3 W&/= W&/= W&$& W&$& 'DWDLQ 'DWDRXW Alliance Semiconductor 'DWDRXW 'DWDLQ P. 10 of 14 $6&0)4 )DVWSDJHPRGHHDUO\ZULWHZDYHIRUP W5$63 W5$+ W5:/ RAS W&53 W5&' W3& W&6+ W$6& W&$6 W&$+ W&3 W:&6 W56+ CAS W$65 Address W5$/ W$5 W5$' 5RZ &ROXPQ &ROXPQ &ROXPQ W&:/ W:3 W:&+ W2(+ WE OE W+'5 W2(' W'+ W'6 'DWD,Q I/O 'DWDLQ 'DWDLQ &$6EHIRUH5$6UHIUHVKZDYHIRUP :( 9,+ W5& W53 W5$6 RAS W53& W&+5 W&3 W&65 CAS OPEN DQ 5$6RQO\UHIUHVKZDYHIRUP :( 2( 9,+RU9,/ W5& W5$6 W53 RAS W&53 W53& CAS W$65 Address 3/22/02; v.1.3 W5$+ Row address Alliance Semiconductor P. 11 of 14 $6&0)4 +LGGHQUHIUHVKZDYHIRUPUHDG W5& W5& W5$6 W53 W5$6 W53 RAS W&53 W&+5 W5&' W56+ W&53 CAS W$5 W5$' W&$+ W5$+ W$6& W$65 Row Address Col address W5&6 W55+ WE W2($ OE W5$& W2)) W$$ W&$& W&/= W2(= Data out DQ +LGGHQUHIUHVKZDYHIRUPZULWH W5& W5$6 W53 RAS W&53 W5&' CAS W56+ W$5 W5$' W$65 Address W&+5 W5$+ W5$/ W$6& Row address W&$+ Col address W5:/ W:&5 W:3 W:&6 W:&+ WE W'6 W'+ W'+5 DQ Data in OE 3/22/02; v.1.3 Alliance Semiconductor P. 12 of 14 $6&0)4 &$6EHIRUH5$6UHIUHVKFRXQWHUWHVWZDYHIRUP W5$6 W56+ W53 RAS CAS W&65 W&+5 W&37 W&$6 W5$/ W$6& W&$+ Address Col address W$$ W&$& W&/= Read cycle DQ W2(= W2)) Data out W55+ W5&+ W5&6 WE W52+ W2($ OE W5:/ W&:/ Write cycle W:&6 W:3 W:&+ WE W'+ W'6 DQ Data in OE W5:/ W:3 W5&6 W&:' W$:' W&:/ Read-Write cycle WE W2($ W$$ W&/= DQ W'+ W2(= W&$& 3/22/02; v.1.3 W2(' OE W'6 Data out Alliance Semiconductor Data in P. 13 of 14 $6&0)4 &DSDFLWDQFH Parameter ¦ 0+]7D 5RRPWHPSHUDWXUH Symbol Input capacitance DQ capacitance Signals Test conditions Max Unit CIN1 A0 to A9 Vin = 0V 5 pF CIN2 RAS, WE, OE, CAS0, CAS1, CAS2, CAS3 Vin = 0V 7 pF CDQ DQ0 to DQ3 Vin = Vout = 0V 7 pF $6&0)4RUGHULQJLQIRUPDWLRQ Package \ RAS access time Plastic SOJ, 300 mil, 28-pin 5V Plastic TSOP, 300 mil, 28-pin 50 ns 60 ns AS4C4M4F1Q-50JC AS4C4M4F1Q-60JC AS4C4M4F1Q-50TC AS4C4M4F1Q-60TC $6&0)4IDPLO\SDUWQXPEHULQJV\VWHP AS4 C DRAM prefix C = 5V CMOS 3/22/02; v.1.3 4M4 F1 –XX X C 4M×4 F1=2K refresh RAS access time Package: J = SOJ 300 mil, 28 T = TSOP 300 mil, 28 Commercial temperature range, 0°C to 70 °C Alliance Semiconductor P. 14 of 14 © Copyright Alliance Semiconductor Corporation.
