256k/1M/4M Dynamic RAM Controller/Drivers
General Description
Features
The DP8430V/31V/32V dynamic RAM controllers provide a
low cost, single chip interface between dynamic RAM and
all 8-, 16- and 32-bit systems. The DP8430V/31V/32V generate all the required access control signal timing for
DRAMs. An on-chip refresh request clock is used to automatically refresh the DRAM array. Refreshes and accesses
are arbitrated on chip. If necessary, a WAIT or DTACK output inserts wait states into system access cycles, including
burst mode accesses. RAS low time during refreshes and
RAS precharge time after refreshes and back to back accesses are guaranteed through the insertion of wait states.
Separate on-chip precharge counters for each RAS output
can be used for memory interleaving to avoid delayed back
to back accesses because of precharge. An additional feature of the DP8432V is two access ports to simplify dual
accessing. Arbitration among these ports and refresh is
done on chip.

1.0 Introduction
The DP8430V/31V/32V DRAM controllers are the latest
devices based upon the DP8420A/21A/22A predecessors.
The DP8430V/31V/32V implement changes which do not
allow them to be pin compatible with any of the DP842XA or
the DP842XV DRAM controllers. Two changes have been
made: The limits for the input frequency to DELCLK have
been increased making possible the use of a single clock
source. A RESET input is now available making the reset
procedure easier. These changes, although minimal, facilitate the use of the controllers and make them even more
attractive for high performance applications. The controllers
incorporate address latches, refresh counter, row/column/
refresh address multiplexer, delay line, refresh/access/precharge arbitration logic and high capacitive drivers. The
DP8430V/31V/32V DRAM controllers allow any manufacturer’s CPU or bus to directly interface to DRAM arrays up to
64 Mbytes in size.
Reset:
The user must reset the controller before programming it.
Reset is achieved by asserting the RESET input for at least
16 positive edges of clock.
Programming:
After reset, the user can program the controller by either
one of two methods: Mode Load Only Programming or Chip
Select Access Programming. The chip is programmed
through the address bus.
Initialization Period:
Once the DP8430V/31V/32V has been programmed for the
first time, a 60 ms initialization period is entered. During this
time the DRC performs refreshes to the DRAM array so
further warm up cycles are unnecessary. The initialization
period is entered only after the first programming after a
reset.
Accessing Modes:
After resetting and programming the chip, the DP8430V/
31V/32V is ready to access the DRAM. There are two
modes of accessing with these controllers. Mode 0, which
indicates RAS synchronously and Mode 1, which indicates
RAS asynchronously.
Refresh Modes:
Two refresh modes can be programmed. The user can
choose Automatic Internal Refresh or Externally Controlled
Refresh. With any refresh mode the user can perform burst
refreshes.
Refresh Types:
There are three types of refreshing available: Conventional,
Staggered and Error Scrubbing. Any refresh control mode
can be used with any type of refresh.
Wait Support:
The DP8430V/31V/32V have wait support available as
DTACK or WAIT. Both are programmable. DTACK, Data
Transfer ACKnowledge, is useful for processors whose wait
signal is active high. WAIT is useful for those processors
whose wait signal is active low. The user can choose either
at programming. These signals are used by the on chip arbiter to insert wait states to guarantee the arbitration between
accesses, refreshes and precharge. Both signals are independent of the access mode chosen and both signals can
be dynamically delayed further through the WAITIN signal to
the DP8430V/31V/32V.
Sequential Accesses (Static Column/Page Mode):
The DP8430V/31V/32V have address latches, used to
latch the bank, row and column address inputs. Once the
address is latched, a COLumn INCrement (COLINC) feature
can be used to increment the column address. The address
latches can also be programmed to be fall through. COLINC
can be used for Sequential Accesses of Static Column
DRAMs. Also, COLINC in conjunction with ECAS inputs can
be used for Sequential Accesses to Page Mode DRAMs.
RAS and CAS Configuration (Byte Writing):
The RAS and CAS drivers can be configured to drive a one,
two or four bank memory array up to 32 bits in width. The
ECAS signals can then be used to select one of four CAS
drivers for Byte Writing with no extra logic.
Memory Interleaving:
When configuring the DP8430V/31V/32V for more than
one bank, Memory Interleaving can be used. By tying the
low order address bits to the bank select lines B0 and B1,
sequential back to back accesses will not be delayed since
these controllers have separate precharge counters per
bank.
Address Pipelining:
The DP8430V/31V/32V are capable of performing Address
Pipelining. In address pipelining, the DRC will guarantee the
column address hold time and switch the internal multiplexor to place the row address on the address bus. At this
time, another memory access to another bank can be initiated.
Dual Accessing:
Finally, the DP8432V has all the features previously mentioned and unlike the DP8430V/31V, the DP8432V has a
second port to allow a second CPU to access the same
memory array. The DP8432V has four signals to support
Dual Accessing, these signals are AREQB, ATACKB, LOCK
and GRANTB. All arbitration for the two ports and refresh is
done on chip by the controller through the insertion of wait
states. Since the DP8432V has only one input address bus,
the address lines must be multiplexed externally. The signal
GRANTB can be used for this purpose.
Terminology:
The following explains the terminology used in this data
sheet. The terms negated and asserted are used. Asserted
refers to a ‘‘true’’ signal. Thus, ‘‘ECAS0 asserted’’ means
the ECAS0 input is at a logic 0. The term ‘‘COLINC asserted’’ means the COLINC input is at a logic 1. The term negated refers to a ‘‘false’’ signal. Thus, ‘‘ECAS0 negated’’
means the ECAS0 input is at a logic 1. The term ‘‘COLINC
negated’’ means the input COLINC is at a logic 0. The table
shown below clarifies this terminology.

ROW ADDRESS: These inputs are used to specify the row address during an access
to the DRAM. They are also used to program the chip when ML is asserted (except
R10).

COLUMN ADDRESS: These inputs are used to specify the column address during an
access to the DRAM. They are also used to program the chip when ML is asserted
(except C10).
B0, B1
I
BANK SELECT: Depending on programming, these inputs are used to select a group
of RAS and CAS outputs to assert during an access. They are also used to program
the chip when ML is asserted.
ECAS0 – 3
I
ENABLE CAS: These inputs are used to enable a single or group of CAS outputs
when asserted. In combination with the B0, B1 and the programming bits, these
inputs select which CAS output or CAS outputs will assert during an access. The
ECAS signals can also be used to toggle a group of CAS outputs for page/nibble
mode accesses. They also can be used for byte write operations. If ECAS0 is
negated during programming, continuing to assert the ECAS0 while negating AREQ
or AREQB during an access, will cause the CAS outputs to be extended while the
RAS outputs are negated (the ECASn inputs have no effect during scrubbing
refreshes).
RESET
I
RESET: At power up, this input is used to reset the DRAM controller. The user must
keep RESET low for at least 16 positive edges of clock. After programming this input
must remain negated (high) to avoid an unwanted reset.
WIN
I
WRITE ENABLE IN: This input is used to signify a write operation to the DRAM. If
ECAS0 is asserted during programming, the WE output will follow this input. This
input asserted will also cause CAS to delay to the next positive clock edge if address
bit C9 is asserted during programming.
COLINC
(EXTNDRF)
I
I
COLUMN INCREMENT: When the address latches are used, and RFIP is negated,
this input functions as COLINC. Asserting this signal causes the column address to
be incremented by one. When RFIP is asserted, this signal is used to extend the
refresh cycle by any number of periods of CLK until it is negated.
ML
I
MODE LOAD: This input signal, when low, enables the internal programming register
that stores the programming information.
O
O
O
DRAM ADDRESS: These outputs are the multiplexed output of the R0 – 9, 10 and
C0–9, 10 and form the DRAM address bus. These outputs contain the refresh
address whenever RFIP is asserted. They contain high capacitive drivers with 20X
series damping resistors.
RAS0 – 3
O
ROW ADDRESS STROBES: These outputs are asserted to latch the row address
contained on the outputs Q0 – 8, 9, 10 into the DRAM. When RFIP is asserted, the
RAS outputs are used to latch the refresh row address contained on the Q0 – 8, 9, 10
outputs in the DRAM. These outputs contain high capacitive drivers with 20X series
damping resistors.
CAS0 – 3
O
COLUMN ADDRESS STROBES: These outputs are asserted to latch the column
address contained on the outputs Q0 – 8, 9, 10 into the DRAM. These outputs have
high capacitive drivers with 20X series damping resistors.
WE
(RFRQ)
O
O
WRITE ENABLE or REFRESH REQUEST: This output asserted specifies a write
operation to the DRAM. When negated, this output specifies a read operation to the
DRAM. When the DP8430V/31V/32V is programmed in address pipelining mode or
when ECAS0 is negated during programming, this output will function as RFRQ.
RFRQ asserted, specifies that 13 ms or 15 ms have passed. RFRQ can be used to
externally request a refresh through the input RFSH. This output has a high
capacitive driver and a 20X series damping resistor.

2.3 REFRESH SIGNALS
RFIP
O
REFRESH IN PROGRESS: This output is asserted prior to a refresh cycle and is
negated when all the RAS outputs are negated for that refresh.
RFSH
I
REFRESH: This input asserted will request a refresh. If this input is continually
asserted, the DP8430V/31V/32V will perform refresh cycles in a burst refresh
fashion until the input is negated.
ADS
(ALE)
I
I
ADDRESS STROBE or ADDRESS LATCH ENABLE: Depending on programming,
this input can function as ADS or ALE. In mode 0, the input functions as ALE and
when asserted along with CS causes an internal latch to be set. Once this latch is set
an access will start from the positive clock edge of CLK as soon as possible. In Mode
1, the input functions as ADS and when asserted along with CS, causes the access
RAS to assert if no other event is taking place. If an event is taking place, RAS will be
asserted from the positive edge of CLK as soon as possible. In both cases, the low
going edge of this signal latches the bank, row and column address if programmed to
do so.
CS
I
CHIP SELECT: This input signal must be asserted to enable a Port A access.
AREQ
I
ACCESS REQUEST: This input signal in Mode 0 must be asserted some time after
the first positive clock edge after ALE has been asserted. When this signal is
negated, RAS is negated for the access. In Mode 1, this signal must be asserted
before ADS can be negated. When this signal is negated, RAS is negated for the
access.
WAIT
(DTACK)
O
O
WAIT or DTACK: This output can be programmed to insert wait states into a CPU
access cycle. With R7 negated during programming, the output will function as a
WAIT type output. In this case, the output will be active low to signal a wait condition.
With R7 asserted during programming, the output will function as DTACK. In this
case, the output will be negated to signify a wait condition and will be asserted to
signify the access has taken place. Each of these signals can be delayed by a
number of positive clock edges or negative clock levels of CLK to increase the
microprocessor’s access cycle through the insertion of wait states.
WAITIN
I
WAIT INCREASE: This input can be used to dynamically increase the number of
positive clock edges of CLK until DTACK will be asserted or WAIT will be negated
during a DRAM access.
2.4 PORT A ACCESS SIGNALS
2.5 PORT B ACCESS SIGNALS
AREQB
DP8432V
only
I
PORT B ACCESS REQUEST: This input asserted will latch the row, column and bank
address if programmed, and requests an access to take place for Port B. If the
access can take place, RAS will assert immediately. If the access has to be delayed,
RAS will assert as soon as possible from a positive edge of CLK.
ATACKB
DP8432V
only
O
ADVANCED TRANSFER ACKNOWLEDGE PORT B: This output is asserted when
the access RAS is asserted for a Port B access. This signal can be used to generate
the appropriate DTACK or WAIT type signal for Port B’s CPU or bus.

2.6 COMMON DUAL PORT SIGNALS
GRANTB
DP8432V
only
O
GRANT B: This output indicates which port is currently granted access to the DRAM
array. When GRANTB is asserted, Port B has access to the array. When GRANTB is
negated, Port A has access to the DRAM array. This signal is used to multiplex the
signals R0 – 8, 9, 10; C0 – 8, 9, 10; B0 – 1; WIN; LOCK and ECAS0 – 3 to the DP8432V
when using dual accessing.
LOCK
DP8432V
only
I
LOCK: This input can be used by the currently granted port to ‘‘lock out’’ the other
port from the DRAM array by inserting wait states into the locked out port’s access
cycle until LOCK is negated.
2.7 POWER SIGNALS AND CAPACITOR INPUT
VCC
I
POWER: Supply Voltage.
GND
I
GROUND: Supply Voltage Reference.
CAP
I
CAPACITOR: This input is used by the internal PLL for stabilization. The value of the
ceramic capacitor should be 0.1 mF and should be connected between this input and
ground.
2.8 CLOCK INPUTS
There are two clock inputs to the DP8430V/31V/32V, CLK and DELCLK. These two clocks may both be tied to the same clock
input, or they may be two separate clocks, running at different frequencies, asynchronous to each other.
CLK
I
SYSTEM CLOCK: This input may be in the range of 0 Hz up to 25 MHz. This input is
generally a constant frequency but it may be controlled externally to change
frequencies or perhaps be stopped for some arbitrary period of time.
This input provides the clock to the internal state machine that arbitrates between
accesses and refreshes. This clock’s positive edges and negative levels are used to
extend the WAIT (DTACK) signals. Ths clock is also used as the reference for the
RAS precharge time and RAS low time during refresh.
All Port A and Port B accesses are assumed to be synchronous to the system clock
CLK.
DELCLK
I
DELAY LINE CLOCK: The input frequency to DELCLK should be in the range of
12 MHz to 40 MHz. This frequency will be internally divided by choosing a divisor
when programming the part. The result of the division should be a frequency of
2 MHz. This is because the Phase Lock Loop that generates the delay line assumes
an input clock frequency of 2 MHz. If after dividing DELCLK by one of the internal
divisors (6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20) the resulting frequency is not 2 MHz, the delay
line will suffer.
For example, if the DELCLK frequency is 18 MHz and a divide by 8 is chosen,
programming bits C0 – 2, the resulting frequency will be 2.25 which is 12.5% off of
2 MHz. Therefore, the DP8430V/31V/32V will produce delays that are shorter (faster
delays) than what is intended. On the other hand, if divide by 10 was chosen, the
resulting frequency will be 1.8 MHz, this frequency will produce delays that are longer
(slower delays) than intended.
This clock is also divided to create the internal refresh clock.

3.0 Programming and Resetting
The DP8430V/31V/32V must be reset before it can be programmed. After reset, the DRAM controller is programmed
through the address bus by either one of two methods;
Mode Load Only Programming or Chip Select Access Programming. After the first programming after a reset, the chip
enters a 60 ms initialization period. During this period the
controller performs refreshes every 13 ms or 15 ms, this
makes further DRAM warm up cycles unnecessary. After
this stage the DRAM controller can be programmed as
many times as the user wishes and the 60 ms initialization
period will not be entered into unless the chip is reset and
programmed again. During the 60 ms initialization period,
RFIP is asserted and RAS toggles every 13 ms or 15 ms
depending on the programming bit for refresh (C3). CAS will
be negated and the Q outputs will count from 0 to 2047
refreshing the entire DRAM array. The initialization time period is given by the following formula. T e 4096 * (Clock
Divisor Select) * (Refresh Clock Fine Tune)/(DELCLK Frq.)
3.2 PROGRAMMING METHODS
3.2.1 Mode Load Only Programming
To use this method the user asserts ML enabling the internal programming register. After ML is asserted, a valid programming selection is placed on the address bus, B0, B1
and ECAS0 inputs, then ML is negated. When ML is negated the programming bits are latched into the internal programming register and the DP8430V/31V/32V is programmed, see Figure 6 . When programming the chip, the
controller must not be refreshing, RFIP must be high (1) to
have a successful programming.
3.2.2 Chip Selected Access Programming
The chip can also be programmed by performing a chip
selected access. To program the chip using this method,
ML is asserted, then CS is asserted and a valid programming selection is placed on the address bus. When AREQ is
asserted, the programming bits affecting the wait logic become effective immediately, then DTACK is asserted allowing the access to terminate. After the access, ML is negated
and the rest of the programming bits take effect.
3.1 RESET
The DP8430V/31V/32V have a RESET input pin which facilitates the reset procedure required for proper operation.
Reset is accomplished by asserting the RESET input for at
least 16 positive edges of clock as shown in Figure 5 .
The DRC may be programmed anytime on the fly, but the
user must make sure that no access or refresh is in progress. RESET is asynchronous.

first rising edge of clock. If a refresh or a Port B access is in
progress or precharge time is required, the controller will
wait until these events have taken place and assert RAS
(RASs) on the next positive edge of clock.
Sometime after the first positive edge of clock after ALE and
CS have been asserted, the input AREQ must be asserted.
In single port applications, once AREQ is asserted, CS can
be negated. On the other hand, ALE can stay asserted several periods of clock; however, ALE must be negated before
or during the period of CLK in which AREQ is negated.
The controller samples AREQ on the every rising edge of
clock after DTACK is asserted. The access will end when
AREQ is sampled negated.
The DP8430V/31V/32V have two general purpose access
modes. Mode 0 RAS synchronous and Mode 1 RAS asynchronous. One of these modes is selected at programming
through the B1 input. A Port A access to DRAM is initiated
by two input signals: ADS (ALE) and CS. The access is always terminated by one signal: AREQ. These input signals
should be synchronous to the input clock.
4.1 ACCESS MODE 0
Mode 0, synchronous access, is selected by negating the
input B1 during programming (B1 e 0). To initiate a Mode 0
access, ALE is pulse high and CS is asserted. If precharge
time was met, a refresh of DRAM or a Port B access was
not in progress, the RAS (RASs) would be asserted on the

en place and assert RAS (RASs) from the next rising edge
of clock.
When ADS is asserted or sometime after, AREQ must be
asserted. At this time, ADS can be negated and AREQ will
continue the access. Also, ADS can continue to be asserted
after AREQ has been asserted and negated; however, a
new access will not start until ADS is negated and asserted
again. When address pipelining is not implemented, ADS
and AREQ can be tied together.
The access will end when AREQ is negated.
4.2 ACCESS MODE 1
Mode 1, asynchronous access, is selected by asserting the
input B1 during programming (B1 e 1). This mode allows accesses to start immediately from the access request input,
ADS. To initiate a Mode 1 access, CS is asserted followed
by ADS asserted. If precharge time was met, a refresh of
the DRAM or a Port B access was not in progress, the RAS
(RASs) would be asserted from ADS being asserted. If a
refresh or Port B access is in progress or precharge time is
required, the controller will wait until these events have tak-

with AREQ. If ECAS0 was negated (1) during programming,
CAS (CASs) will continue to be asserted after RAS has
been negated, given that the appropriate ECAS inputs are
asserted. This allows a DRAM to have data present on the
data out bus while gaining RAS precharge time.
4.3 EXTENDING CAS WITH EITHER ACCESS MODE
In both access modes, once AREQ is negated, RAS and
DTACK if programmed will be negated. If ECAS0 was asserted (0) during programming, CAS (CASs) will be negated

4.0 Port A Access Modes (Continued)
In Mode 1, the address latches are in fall through mode until
ADS is asserted. ADS asserted latches the address.
4.5 ADDITIONAL ACCESS SUPPORT FEATURES
To support the different modes of accessing, the DP8430V/
31V/32V offer other access features. These additional features include: Address Latches and Column Increment (for
page/burst mode support), Address Pipelining, and Delay
CAS (to allow the user with a multiplexed bus to ensure
valid data is present before CAS is asserted).
Once the address is latched, the column address can be
incremented with the input COLINC. COLINC can be used
for sequential accesses of static column DRAMs. COLINC
can also be used with the ECAS inputs to support sequential accesses to page mode DRAMs as shown in Figure 10 .
COLINC should only be asserted when the signal RFIP is
negated during an access since this input functions as extended refresh when RFIP is asserted. COLINC must be
negated (0) when the address is being latched (ADS falling
edge in Mode 1). If COLINC is asserted with all of the bits of
the column address asserted (ones), the column address
will return to zero.
4.5.1 Address Latches and Column Increment
The Address Latches can be programmed, through programming bit B0. They can be programmed to either latch
the address or remain in a fall-through mode. If the address
latches are used to latch the address, the controller will
function as follows:
In Mode 0, the rising edge of ALE places the latches in fallthrough, once ALE is negated, the address present in the
row, column and bank input is latched.
TL/F/11118 – 13
FIGURE 10. Column Increment
For Port B, if GRANTB is asserted, the address will be
latched with AREQB asserted. If GRANTB is negated, the
address will latch on the first or second positive edge of
CLK after GRANTB is asserted depending on the programming bits R0, R1.
The address latches function differently with the DP8432V.
The DP8432V will latch the address of the currently granted
port. If Port A is currently granted, the address will be
latched as described in Section 4.5.1. If Port A is not granted, and requests an access, the address will be latched on
the first or second positive edge of CLK after GRANTB has
been negated depending on the programming bits R0, R1.
16
4.0 Port A Access Modes (Continued)
During address pipelining in Mode 0, shown in Figure 11c ,
ALE cannot be pulsed high to start another access until
AREQ has been asserted for the previous access for at
least one period of CLK. DTACK, if programmed, will be
negated once AREQ is negated. WAIT, if programmed to
insert wait states, will be asserted once ALE and CS are
asserted.
In Mode 1, shown in Figure 11d , ADS can be negated once
AREQ is asserted. After meeting the minimum negated
pulse width for ADS, ADS can again be asserted to start a
new access. DTACK, if programmed, will be negated once
AREQ is negated. WAIT, if programmed, will be asserted
once ADS is asserted.
In either mode with either type of wait programmed, the
DP8430V/31V/32V will still delay the access for precharge
if sequential accesses are to the same bank or if a refresh
takes place.
4.5.2 Address Pipelining
Address pipelining is the overlapping of accesses to different banks of DRAM. If the majority of successive accesses
are to a different bank, the accesses can be overlapped.
Because of this overlapping, the cycle time of the DRAM
accesses are greatly reduced. The DP8430V/31V/32V can
be programmed to allow a new row address to be placed on
the DRAM address bus after the column address hold time
has been met. At this time, a new access can be initiated
with ADS or ALE, depending on the access mode, while
AREQ is used to sustain the current access. The DP8432V
supports address pipelining for Port A only. This mode cannot be used with page, static column or nibble modes of
operations because the DRAM column address is switched
back to the row address after CAS is asserted. This mode is
programmed through address bit R8 (see Figures 11a and
11b ).

12a and 12b. If the possibility exists that data still may not
be present after the first positive edge of CLK, CAS can be
delayed further with the ECAS inputs. If address bit C9 is
negated during programming, read and write accesses will
be treated the same (with regard to CAS).
Address bit C9 asserted during programming will cause CAS
to be delayed until the first positive edge of CLK after RAS
is asserted when the input WIN is asserted. Delaying CAS
during write accesses ensures that the data to be written to
DRAM will be setup to CAS asserting as shown in Figures

5.0 Refresh Options
In every combination of refresh control mode and refresh
type, the DP8430V/31V/32V is programmed to keep RAS
asserted a number of CLK periods. The time values of RAS
low during refresh are programmed through programming
bits R0 and R1.
The DP8430V/31V/32V support two refresh control mode
options:
1. Automatic Internally Controlled Refresh.
2. Externally Controlled Refresh.
With each of the control modes above, three types of refresh can be performed.
1. All RAS Refresh.
5.1 REFRESH CONTROL MODES
5.1.1. Automatic Internal Refresh
To select Automatic Internal Refresh, the user must choose
ECAS0 e 0 during programming. The DP8430V/31V/32V
have an internal refresh clock. The period of the refresh
clock is generated from the programming bits C0 – 3. Every
period of the refresh clock, an internal refresh request is
generated. As long as a DRAM access is not currently in
progress and precharge time has been met, the internal refresh request will generate an automatic internal refresh. If a
DRAM access is in progress, the DP8430V/31V/32V onchip arbitration logic will wait until the access is finished
before performing the refresh. The refresh/access arbitration logic can insert a refresh cycle between two address
pipelined accesses. However, the refresh arbitration logic
can not interrupt an access cycle to perform a refresh.
2. Staggered Refresh.
3. Error Scrubbing During All RAS Refresh.
There are two inputs, EXTNDRF and RFSH and two outputs, RFIP and RFRQ, associated with refresh. There are
also ten programming bits: R0–1, R9, C0–6 and ECAS0
used to program the various types of refreshing.
Asserting the input EXTNDRF, extends the refresh cycle for
a single or multiple integral periods of CLK.
The output RFIP is asserted one period of CLK before the
first refresh RAS is asserted. If an access is currently in
progress, RFIP will be asserted up to one period of CLK
before the first refresh RAS, after AREQ or AREQB is negated for the access (see Figure 13 ).
The DP8430V/31V/32V will increment the refresh address
counter automatically, independent of the refresh mode
used. The refresh address counter will be incremented once
all the refresh RASs have been negated.

(RFRQ) for an indication from the DRAM controller that a
refresh is needed. When this output asserts, it indicates that
the internal refresh clock has expired and that another refresh is necessary. Then the user has two options. First, he
can answer immediately asserting the input RFSH requesting a refresh cycle. In this case a refresh will take place
immediately if no access is in progress and precharge time
for the previous access has been met. See Figure 14a .
5.1.2 Externally Controlled Refresh Mode
To choose this refresh mode, the user must program
ECAS0 e 1. When this mode is selected, the user is responsible for generating refresh requests by asserting the
input RFSH every time a refresh cycle is to be performed. In
this refresh mode, the output WE functions a RFRQ.
When Externally Controlled Refresh is selected, the user
may choose to monitor the output ReFresh ReQuest
TL/F/11118 – 21
FIGURE 14a. Automatic Internal Refresh with Refresh Request (3T of RAS Low during Refresh Programmed)
Second, the user may choose not to assert the RFSH input
delaying the refresh until later. RFRQ will go high and then
assert (toggle) if additional periods of the internal refresh
clock have expired and the user has not performed a refresh by asserting the input RFSH. See Figure 14b . If a time
critical event, or a long access like page or static column
mode can not be interrupted, RFRQ pulsing high can be
used to increment an external counter. This counter can
later be used to perform a burst refresh of the number of
refreshes missed (through the RFSH input). This scheme
can be thought of as Refresh Request/Acknowledge.
TL/F/11118 – 22
FIGURE 14b. Refresh Request Timing
21
5.0 Refresh Options (Continued)
By keeping the input RFSH asserted past the positive edge
of CLK which ends the refresh cycle as shown in Figure
15b , the user will perform another refresh cycle. Each refresh cycle during a burst refresh will meet the refresh RAS
low time and the RAS precharge time (programming bits
R0 – 1). This scheme can be thought of as Externally Controlled Burst Refresh. If the user desires to burst refresh the
entire DRAM, he could generate an end of count signal
(burst refresh finished), by looking at one of the DP8430V/
31V/32V high address outputs (Q7, Q8, Q9 or Q10) and the
RFIP output. The Qn outputs function as a decode of how
many row addresses have been refreshed. (Q7 e 128 refreshes, Q8 e 256 refreshes, Q9 e 512 refreshes and Q10
e 1024 refreshes).
In Externally Controlled Refresh the user does not have to
wait for RFRQ to perform a refresh. The user can at any
time assert the RFSH input. Pulsing RFSH low, sets an internal latch that is used to produce the internal refresh request. The refresh cycle will take place on the next positive
edge of clock, as shown in Figure 15a . If an access to the
DRAM is in progress or precharge time for the last access
has not been met, the refresh will be delayed. Since pulsing
RFSH low sets a latch, the user doesn’t have to keep RFSH
low until the refresh starts. When the last refresh RAS negates, the internal refresh request latch is cleared.

5.2 REFRESH CYCLE TYPES
Three different types of refresh cycles are available for use.
The three different types are mutually exclusive and can be
used with any of the three modes of refresh control. The
three different refresh cycle types are: all RAS refresh, staggered RAS refresh and error scrubbing during all RAS refresh. In all refresh cycle types, the RAS precharge time is
guaranteed: between the previous access RAS ending and
the refresh RAS0 starting; between refresh RAS3 ending
and access RAS beginning; between burst refresh RASs.
5.2.1 Conventional RAS Refresh
A conventional refresh cycle causes RAS0 – 3 to all assert
from the first positive edge of CLK after RFIP is asserted as
shown in Figure 16 . RAS0 – 3 will stay asserted until the
number of positive edges of CLK programmed have passed.
On the last positive edge, RAS0 – 3, and RFIP will be negated. This type of refresh cycle is programmed by negating
address bit R9 during programming.
TL/F/11118 – 25
FIGURE 16. Conventional RAS Refresh
5.2.2 Staggered RAS Refresh
A staggered refresh staggers each RAS or group of RASs
by a positive edge of CLK as shown in Figure 17 . The number of RASs, which will be asserted on each positive edge
of CLK, is determined by the RAS, CAS configuration mode
programming bits C4–C6. If single RAS outputs are selected during programming, then each RAS will assert on successive positive edges of CLK. If two RAS outputs are selected during programming then RAS0 and RAS1 will assert
on the first positive edge of CLK after RFIP is asserted.
RAS2 and RAS3 will assert on the second positive edge of
CLK after RFIP is asserted. If all RAS outputs were selected
during programming, all RAS outputs would assert on the
first positive edge of CLK after RFIP is asserted. Each RAS
or group of RASs will meet the programmed RAS low time
and then negate.
TL/F/11118 – 26
FIGURE 17. Staggered RAS Refresh
23
5.0 Refresh Options (Continued)
5.2.3 Error Scrubbing during Refresh
The DP8430V/31V/32V support error scrubbing during all
RAS DRAM refreshes. Error scrubbing during refresh is selected through bits C4–C6 with bit R9 negated during programming. Error scrubbing can not be used with staggered
refresh (see Section 8.0). Error scrubbing during refresh allows a CAS or group of CASs to assert during the all RAS
refresh as shown in Figure 18 . This allows data to be read
from the DRAM array and passed through an Error Detection And Correction Chip, EDAC. If the EDAC determines
that the data contains a single bit error and corrects that
error, the refresh cycle can be extended with the input ex-
tend refresh, EXTNDRF, and a read-modify-write operation
can be performed by asserting WE. It is the responsibility of
the designer to ensure that WE is negated. The DP8432V
has a 24-bit internal refresh address counter that contains
the 11 row, 11 column and 2 bank addresses. The
DP8430V/31V have a 22-bit internal refresh address counter that contains the 10 row, 10 column and 2 bank addresses. These counters are configured as bank, column, row
with the row address as the least significant bits. The bank
counter bits are then used with the programming selection
to determine which CAS or group of CASs will assert during
a refresh.
TL/F/11118 – 27

5.0 Refresh Options (Continued)
all the RAS outputs during the refresh cycle and after the
positive edge of CLK which starts all RAS outputs during the
refresh as shown in Figure 19 . This will extend the refresh to
the next positive edge of CLK and EXTNDRF will be sampled again. The refresh cycle will continue until EXTNDRF is
sampled low on a positive edge of CLK.
5.3 EXTENDING REFRESH
The programmed number of periods of CLK that refresh
RASs are asserted can be extended by one or multiple periods of CLK. Only the all RAS (with or without error scrubbing) type of refresh can be extended. To extend a refresh
cycle, the input extend refresh, EXTNDRF, must be asserted before the positive edge of CLK that would have negated

length of the CPU’s access. Once the event has been completed, the DP8430V/31V/32V will allow the access to take
place and stop inserting wait states.
There are six programming bits, R2 – R7; an input, WAITIN;
and an output that functions as WAIT or DTACK.
Wait states allow a CPU’s access cycle to be increased by
one or multiple CPU clock periods. The wait or ready input is
named differently by CPU manufacturers. However, any
CPU’s wait or ready input is compatible with either the WAIT
or DTACK output of the DP8430V/31V/32V. The user determines whether to program WAIT or DTACK (R7) and
which value to select for WAIT or DTACK (R2, R3) depending upon the CPU used and where the CPU samples its wait
input during an access cycle.
The decision to terminate the CPU access cycle is directly
affected by the speed of the DRAMs used. The system designer must ensure that the data from the DRAMs will be
present for the CPU to sample or that the data has been
written to the DRAM before allowing the CPU access cycle
to terminate.
The insertion of wait states also allows a CPU’s access cycle to be extended until the DRAM access has taken place.
The DP8430V/31V/32V insert wait states into CPU access
cycles due to; guaranteeing precharge time, refresh currently in progress, user programmed wait states, the WAITIN
signal being asserted and GRANTB not being valid
(DP8432V only). If one of these events is taking place and
the CPU starts an access, the DP8430V/31V/32V will insert
wait states into the access cycle, thereby increasing the
6.1 WAIT TYPE OUTPUT
With the R7 address bit negated during programming, the
user selects the WAIT output. As long as WAIT is sampled
asserted by the CPU, wait states (extra clock periods) are
inserted into the current access cycle as shown in Figure
20 . Once WAIT is sampled negated, the access cycle is
completed by the CPU. WAIT is asserted at the beginning of
a chip selected access and is programmed to negate a
number of positive edges and/or negative levels of CLK
from the event that starts the access. WAIT can also be
programmed to function in page/burst mode applications.
Once WAIT is negated during an access, and the ECAS
inputs are negated with AREQ asserted, WAIT can be programmed to toggle, following the ECAS inputs. Once AREQ
is negated, ending the access, WAIT will stay negated until
the next chip selected access. For more details about WAIT
Type Output, see Application Note AN-773.

6.3 DYNAMICALLY INCREASING THE
NUMBER OF WAIT STATES
6.2 DTACK TYPE OUTPUT
With the R7 address bit asserted during programming, the
user selects the DTACK type output. As long as DTACK is
sampled negated by the CPU, wait states are inserted into
the current access cycle as shown in Figure 21. Once
DTACK is sampled asserted, the access cycle is completed
by the CPU. DTACK, which is normally negated, is programmed to assert a number of positive edges and/or negative levels from the event that starts RAS for the access.
DTACK can also be programmed to function during page/
burst mode accesses. Once DTACK is asserted and the
ECAS inputs are negated with AREQ asserted, DTACK can
be programmed to negate and assert from the ECAS inputs
toggling to perform a page/burst mode operation. Once
AREQ is negated, ending the access, DTACK will be negated and stays negated until the next chip selected access.
For more details about DTACK type output see Application
Note AN-773.
The user can increase the number of positive edges of CLK
before DTACK is asserted or WAIT is negated. With the
input WAITIN asserted, the user can delay DTACK asserting
or WAIT negating either one or two more positive edges of
CLK. The number of edges is programmed through address
bit R6. If the user is increasing the number of positive edges
in a delay that contains a negative level, the positive edges
will be met before the negative level. For example if the user
programmed DTACK of (/2T, asserting WAITIN, programmed as 2T, would increase the number of positive edges resulting in DTACK of 2(/2T as shown in Figure 22a . Similarly, WAITIN can increase the number of positive edges in
a page/burst access. WAITIN can be permanently asserted
in systems requiring an increased number of wait states.
WAITIN can also be asserted and negated, depending on
the type of access. As an example, a user could invert the
WRITE line from the CPU and connect the output to
WAITIN. This could be used to perform write accesses with
1 wait state and read accesses with 2 wait states as shown
in Figure 22b .

6.4 GUARANTEEING RAS LOW TIME
AND RAS PRECHARGE TIME
The DP8430V/31V/32V will guarantee RAS precharge time
between accesses; between refreshes; and between access and refreshes. The programming bits R0 and R1 are
used to program combinations of RAS precharge time and
RAS low time referenced by positive edges of CLK. RAS
low time is programmed for refreshes only. During an access, the system designer guarantees the time RAS is asserted through the DP8430V/31V/32V wait logic. Since inserting wait states into an access increases the length of
the CPU signals which are used to create ADS or ALE and
AREQ, the time that RAS is asserted can be guaranteed.
The precharge time is also guaranteed by the DP8430V/
31V/32V. Each RAS output has a separate positive edge
of CLK counter. AREQ is negated setup to a positive edge
of CLK to terminate the access. That positive edge is 1T.
The next positive edge is 2T. RAS will not be asserted until
the programmed number of positive edges of CLK have
passed as shown in Figure 23 . Once the programmed precharge time has been met, RAS will be asserted from the
positive edge of CLK. However, since there is a precharge
counter per RAS, an access using another RAS will not be
delayed. Precharge time before a refresh is always referenced from the access RAS negating before RAS0 for the
refresh asserting. After a refresh, precharge time is referenced from RAS3 negating, for the refresh, to the access
RAS asserting.

7.0 RAS and CAS Configuration Modes
The DP8430V/31V/32V allow the user to configure the
DRAM array to contain one, two or four banks of DRAM.
Depending on the functions used, certain considerations
must be used when determining how to set up the DRAM
array. Programming address bits C4, C5 and C6 along with
bank selects, B0 –1, and CAS enables, ECAS0–3, determine which RAS or group of RASs and which CAS or group
of CASs will be asserted during an access. Different memory schemes are described. The DP8430V/31V/32V is specified driving a heavy load of 72 DRAMs, representing four
banks of DRAM with 16-bit words and 2 parity bits. The
DP8430V/31V/32V can drive more than 72 DRAMs, but the
AC timing must be increased. Since the RAS and CAS outputs are configurable, all RAS and CAS outputs should be
used for the maximum amount of drive.
7.1 BYTE WRITING
By selecting a configuration in which all CAS outputs are
selected during an access, the ECAS inputs enable a single
or group of CAS outputs to select a byte (or bytes) in a word
size of up to 32 bits. In this case, the RAS outputs are used
to select which of up to 4 banks is to be used as shown in
Figures 24a and 24b . In systems with a word size of 16 bits,
the byte enables can be gated with a high order address bit
to produce four byte enables which gives an equivalent to 8
banks of 16-bit words as shown in Figure 24d . If less memory is required, each CAS should be used to drive each nibble
in the 16-bit word as shown in Figure 24c .

7.2 MEMORY INTERLEAVING
7.3 ADDRESS PIPELINING
Memory interleaving allows the cycle time of DRAMs to be
reduced by having sequential accesses to different memory
banks. Since the DP8430V/31V/32V have separate precharge counters per bank, sequential accesses will not be
delayed if the accessed banks use different RAS outputs.
To ensure different RAS outputs will be used, a mode is
selected where either one or two RAS outputs will be asserted during an access. The bank select or selects, B0 and
B1, are then tied to the least significant address bits, causing a different group of RASs to assert during each sequential access as shown in Figure 25 . In this figure there should
be at least one clock period of all RAS’s negated between
different RAS’s being asserted to avoid the condition of a
CAS before RAS refresh cycle.
Address pipelining allows several access RASs to be asserted at once. Because RASs can overlap, each bank requires either a mode where one RAS and one CAS are used
per bank as shown in Figure 26a or where two RASs and
two CASs are used per bank as shown in Figure 26b . Byte
writing can be accomplished in a 16-bit word system if two
RASs and two CASs are used per bank. In other systems,
WEs (or external gating on the CAS outputs) must be used
to perform byte writing. If WEs are used separate data in
and data out buffers must be used. If the array is not layed
out this way, a CAS to a bank can be low before RAS, which
will cause a refresh of the DRAM, not an access. To take
full advantage of address pipelining, memory interleaving is
used. To memory interleave, the least significant address
bits should be tied to the bank select inputs to ensure that
all ‘‘back to back’’ sequential accesses are not delayed,
since different memory banks are accessed.

7.4 ERROR SCRUBBING
In error scrubbing during refresh, the user selects one, two
or four RAS and CAS outputs per bank. When performing
error detection and correction, memory is always accessed
as words. Since the CAS signals are not used to select
individual bytes, the ECAS inputs can be tied low as shown
in Figures 27a and 27b .

7.5 PAGE/BURST MODE
In a static column, page or burst mode system, the least
significant bits must be tied to the column address in order
to ensure that the page/burst accesses are to sequential
memory addresses, as shown in Figure 28. In a nibble
mode system, the least significant bits must be tied to the
highest column and row address bits in order to ensure that
sequential address bits are the ‘‘nibble’’ bits for nibble mode
accesses (Figure 28) . The ECAS inputs may then be tog-
gled with the DP8430V/31V/32V’s address latches in fallthrough mode, while AREQ is asserted. The ECAS inputs
can also be used to select individual bytes. When using nibble mode DRAMS, the third and fourth address bits can be
tied to the bank select inputs to perform memory interleaving. In page or static column modes, the two address bits
after the page size can be tied to the bank select inputs to
select a new bank if the page size is exceeded.

8.0 Test Mode
Staggered refresh in combination with the error scrubbing
mode places the DP8430V/31V/32V in test mode. In this
mode, the 24-bit refresh counter is divided into a 13-bit and
11-bit counter. During refreshes both counters are incremented to reduce test time.
9.2 CALCULATION OF tRAH AND tASC
There are two clock inputs to the DP8430V/31V/32V.
These two clocks, DELCLK and CLK can either be tied together to the same clock or be tied to different clocks running asynchronously at different frequencies.
The clock input, DELCLK, controls the internal delay line
and refresh request clock. DELCLK should be a multiple of
2 MHz. If DELCLK is not a multiple of 2 MHz, tRAH and tASC
will change. The new values of tRAH and tASC can be calculated by the following formulas:
If tRAH was programmed to equal 15 ns then tRAH e
15*(((DELCLK Divisor)* 2 MHz/(DELCLK Frequency))b1)
a 15 ns.
If tRAH was programmed to equal 25 ns then tRAH e
25*(((DELCLK Divisor)* 2 MHz/(DELCLK Frequency))b1)
a 25 ns.
If tASC was programmed to equal 0 ns then tASC e 12.5*
((DELCLK Divisor)* 2 MHz/(DELCLK Frequency)) b
12.5 ns.
If tASC was programmed to equal 10 ns then tASC e 22.5*
((DELCLK Divisor)* 2 MHz/(DELCLK Frequency)) b
12.5 ns.
Since the values of tRAH and tASC are increased or decreased, the time to CAS asserted will also increase or decrease. These parameters can be adjusted by the following
formula:
Delay to CAS e Actual Spec. a Actual tRAH b
Programmed tRAH a Actual tASC b Programmed tASC.
9.0 DRAM Critical Timing
Parameters
The two critical timing parameters, shown in Figure 29 , that
must be met when controlling the access timing to a DRAM
are the row address hold time, tRAH, and the column address setup time, tASC. Since the DP8430V/31V/32V contain a precise internal delay line, the values of these parameters can be selected at programming time. These values
will also increase and decrease if DELCLK varies from
2 MHz.
9.1 PROGRAMMABLE VALUES OF tRAH AND tASC
The DP8430V/31V/32V allow the values of tRAH and tASC
to be selected at programming time. For each parameter,
two choices can be selected. tRAH, the row address hold
time, is measured from RAS asserted to the row address
starting to change to the column address. The two choices
for tRAH are 15 ns and 25 ns, programmable through address bit C8.
tASC, the column address setup time, is measured from the
column address valid to CAS asserted. The two choices for
tASC are 0 ns and 10 ns, programmable through address bit
C7.

10.0 Dual Accessing (DP8432V)
has completed. It is important to note that for GRANTB to
transition to Port B, Port A must not be requesting an access at a rising clock edge (or locked) and Port B must be
requesting an access at that rising clock edge. Port A can
request an access through CS and ADS/ALE or CS and
AREQ. Therefore during an interleaved access where CS
and ADS/ALE become asserted before AREQ from the previous access is negated, Port A will retain GRANTB e 0
whether AREQB is asserted or not.
Since there is no chip select for Port B, AREQB must incorporate this signal. This mode of accessing is similar to Mode
1 accessing for Port A.
The DP8432V has all the functions previously described. In
addition to those features, the DP8432V also has the capabilities to arbitrate among refresh, Port A and a second port,
Port B. This allows two CPUs to access a common DRAM
array. DRAM refresh has the highest priority followed by the
currently granted port. The ungranted port has the lowest
priority. The last granted port will continue to stay granted
even after the access has terminated, until an access request is received from the ungranted port (see Figure 30a ).
The dual access configuration assumes that both Port A
and Port B are synchronous to the system clock. If they are
not synchronous to the system clock they should be externally synchronized (Ex. By running the access requests
through several Flip-Flops, see Figure 32a ).
10.1 PORT B ACCESS MODE
Port B accesses are initiated from a single input, AREQB.
When AREQB is asserted, an access request is generated.
If GRANTB is asserted and a refresh is not taking place or
precharge time is not required, RAS will be asserted when
AREQB is asserted. Once AREQB is asserted, it must stay
asserted until the access is over. AREQB negated, negates
RAS as shown in Figure 30b . Note that if ECAS0 e 1 during
programming the CAS outputs may be held asserted (beyond RASn negating) by continuing to assert the appropriate ECASn inputs (the same as Port A accesses). If Port B
is not granted, the access will begin on the first or second
positive edge of CLK after GRANTB is asserted (See R0,
R1 programming bit definitions) as shown in Figure 30c , assuming that Port A is not accessing the DRAM (CS, ADS/
ALE and AREQ) and RAS precharge for the particular bank

Port A or Port B to lock out the other port from the DRAM.
When a Port is locked out of the DRAM, wait states will be
inserted into its access cycle until it is allowed to access
memory. GRANTB is used to multiplex the input control signals and addresses to the DP8432V.
10.2 PORT B WAIT STATE SUPPORT
Advanced transfer acknowledge for Port B, ATACKB, is
used for wait state support for Port B. This output will be
asserted when RAS for the Port B access is asserted, as
shown in Figures 31a and 31b . Once asserted, this output
will stay asserted until AREQB is negated. With external
logic, ATACKB can be made to interface to any CPU’s wait
input as shown in Figure 31c .
10.3.1 GRANTB Output
The output GRANTB determines which port has current access to the DRAM array. GRANTB asserted signifies Port B
has access. GRANTB negated signifies Port A has access
to the DRAM array.

the DRAM array, the GRANTB output will transition from a
rising clock edge from AREQ or AREQB negating and will
precede the RAS for the access by one or two clock periods. GRANTB will then stay in this state until the other port
requests an access and the currently granted port is not
accessing the DRAM as shown in Figure 32b .
Since the DP8432V has only one set of address inputs, the
signal is used, with the addition of buffers, to allow the currently granted port’s addresses to reach the DP8432V. The
signals which need to be bufferred are R0–10, C0–10,
B0 – 1, ECAS0 – 3, WE, and LOCK. All other inputs are not
common and do not have to be buffered as shown in Figure
32a. If a Port, which is not currently granted, tries to access

14.0 DP8430V/31V/32V User Hints
1. All inputs to the DP8430V/31V/32V should be tied high,
low or the output of some other device.
6. The traces from the DP8430V/31V/32V to the DRAM
should be as short as possible.
Note: One signal is active high. COLINC (EXTNDRF) should be tied low
to disable.
7. Parameter Changes due to Loading
All A.C. parameters are specified with the equivalent load
capacitances, including traces, of 64 DRAMs organized
as 4 banks of 18 DRAMs each. Maximums are based on
worst-case conditions. If an output load changes then the
A.C. timing parameters associated with that particular
output must be changed. For example, if we changed our
output load to
C e 250 pF loads on RAS0 – 3 and CAS0 –3
C e 760 pF loads on Q0 – 9 and WE
we would have to modify some parameters (not all calculated here)
$308a clock to CAS asserted
(tRAH e 15 ns, tASC e 0 ns)
A ratio can be used to figure out the timing change per
change in capacitance for a particular parameter by using
the specifications and capacitances from heavy and light
load timing.
2. Each ground on the DP8430V/31V/32V must be decoupled to the closest on-chip supply (VCC) with 0.1 mF ceramic capacitor. This is necessary because these
grounds are kept separate inside the DP8430V/31V/32V.
The decoupling capacitors should be placed as close as
possible with short leads to the ground and supply pins of
the DP8430V/31V/32V.
3. The output called ‘‘CAP’’ should have a 0.1 mF capacitor
to ground.
4. The DP8430V/31V/32V has 20X series damping resistors built into the output drivers of RAS, CAS, address
and WE/RFRQ. Space should be provided for external
damping resistors on the printed circuit board (or wirewrap board) because they may be needed. The value of
these damping resistors (if needed) will vary depending
upon the output, the capacitance of the load, and the
characteristics of the trace as well as the routing of the
trace. The value of the damping resistor also may vary
between the wire-wrap board and the printed circuit
board. To determine the value of the series damping resistor it is recommended to use an oscilloscope and look
at the furthest DRAM from the DP8430V/31V/32V. The
undershoot of RAS, CAS, WE and the addresses should
be kept to less than 0.5V below ground by varying the
value of the damping resistor. The damping resistors
should be placed as close as possible with short leads to
the driver outputs of the DP8430V/31V/32V.
5. The circuit board must have a good VCC and ground
plane connection. If the board is wire-wrapped, the VCC
and ground pins of the DP8430V/31V/32V, the DRAM
associated logic and buffer circuitry must be soldered to
the VCC and ground planes.
