TYPE
NAME AND FUNCTION
DIP
REQ
48
Input
Active Low Memory Access Request input, must be asserted for the entire DRAM access cycle.
REQ is sampled on the rising edge of the CP clock.
GNT
1
Output
Active High Grant output. When High indicates that a DRAM access (inactive during refresh)
cycle has begun. Asserted from the rising edge of the CP clock.
PAGE
47
Input
Active Low Page-Mode Access input. Forces the IDC to keep RAS asserted for as long as the
PAGE input is Low and REQ is asserted Low.
HLDROW
2
Input
Row Address Hold input. If Low will configure the IDC to maintain the row addresses for a full
CP clock cycle after RAS is asserted. If High will program the IDC to maintain row addresses for
a 1/2 CP clock cycle after RAS is asserted.
PRECHRG
3
Input
RAS Precharge input. A Low will program the IDC to guarantee a minimum of 4 CP clock cycles
of precharge. A High will guarantee 3 clock cycles of precharge.
CP
46
Input
Clock input. Used by the Controller for all timing and arbitration functions.
RCP
45
Input
Refresh Clock input. Divided internally by 64 to produce an internal Refresh Request.
DTACK
6
Output
Active Low, 3-state Data Transfer Acknowledge output. Enabled by the REQ input and asserted
four clock cycles after the assertion of RAS, 3-stated when REQ goes High.
RA0–9
44, 42, 40,
35, 33, 31,
29, 27, 25,
23
Inputs
Row Address inputs.
CA0–9
43, 41, 39,
34, 32, 30,
28, 26, 24,
22
Inputs
Column Address inputs. Propagated to the MA0–9 outputs 1 CP clock cycle after RAS is
asserted, if HLDROW = 0 or 1/2 clock cycle later if HLDROW is 1.
RAS
4
Output
Active Low Row Address Strobe. Asserted for four clock cycles during each refresh cycle
regardless of the PAGE input. Also asserted for four clock cycles during processor access if the
PAGE input is High. If PAGE is Low, RAS is negated upon negation of PAGE or REQ, whichever
occurs first.
CAS
5
Output
Active Low Column Address Strobe. Always asserted 1.5 CP clock cycles after the assertion of
RAS. Negated upon negation of REQ. HLDROW input pin does not affect RAS to CAS timing.
MA0–9
7–10,
15–20
Output
DRAM multiplexed address outputs. Row and column addresses asserted on these pins during
an access cycle. Refresh counter addresses presented on these outputs during refresh cycles.
ALE
21
Input
Active Low Address Latch Enable input. A Low on this pin will cause the address latches to be
transparent. A High level will latch the RA0–9 and CA0–9 inputs.
