Background
Separate I/O SRAMs, from a system architecture point of view, are attractive in applications where alternating reads and writes are
needed. Therefore, the SigmaQuad-II+ SRAM interface and truth table are optimized for alternating reads and writes. Separate I/O
SRAMs are unpopular in applications where multiple reads or multiple writes are needed because burst read or write transfers from
Separate I/O SRAMs can cut the RAM’s bandwidth in half.
SigmaQuad-II B2 SRAM DDR Read
The read port samples the status of the Address Input and R pins at each rising edge of K. A low on the Read Enable-bar pin, R,
begins a read cycle. Clocking in a high on the Read Enable-bar pin, R, begins a read port deselect cycle.
SigmaQuad-II B2 SRAM DDR Write
The write port samples the status of the W pin at each rising edge of K and the Address Input pins on the following rising edge of
K. A low on the Write Enable-bar pin, W, begins a write cycle. The first of the data-in pairs associated with the write command is
clocked in with the same rising edge of K used to capture the write command. The second of the two data in transfers is captured on
the rising edge of K along with the write address. Clocking in a high on W causes a write port deselect cycle.
Special Functions
Byte Write Control
Byte Write Enable pins are sampled at the same time that Data In is sampled. A High on the Byte Write Enable pin associated with
a particular byte (e.g., BW0 controls D0–D8 inputs) will inhibit the storage of that particular byte, leaving whatever data may be
stored at the current address at that byte location undisturbed. Any or all of the Byte Write Enable pins may be driven High or Low
during the data in sample times in a write sequence.
Each write enable command and write address loaded into the RAM provides the base address for a 2beat data transfer. The x18
version of the RAM, for example, may write 36 bits in association with each address loaded. Any 9-bit byte may be masked in any
write sequence.

FLXDrive-II Output Driver Impedance Control
HSTL I/O SigmaQuad-II+ SRAMs are supplied with programmable impedance output drivers. The ZQ pin must be connected to
V_SS via an external resistor, RQ, to allow the SRAM to monitor and adjust its output driver impedance. The value of RQ must be
5X the value of the desired RAM output impedance. The allowable range of RQ to guarantee impedance matching continuously is
