M68AW512D
OPERATION
The device has four standard operating modes:
Output Disabled, Read, Write and Standby/Pow-
er-Down. These modes are determined by the
control inputs E1, E1, W, G, LB and UB as sum-
Output Disabled
The Output Enable signal, G, provides high-speed
tri-state control of DQ0-DQ15, allowing fast read/
write cycles on the I/O data bus. The device is in
Output Disabled mode when Output Enable, G, is
High. In this mode, LB and UB are Don’t care and
DQ0-DQ15 are high impedance.
Read Mode
When Chip Select (E2) is High, the M68AW512D
is in the Read mode whenever Write Enable (W) is
High with Output Enable (G) Low, and Chip En-
able (E1) is asserted.
This provides access to data from eight or sixteen,
depending on the status of the signal UB and LB,
of the 8,388,608 locations in the static memory ar-
ray, specified by the 19 address inputs. If only one
of
the
Byte
Enable
inputs
is at
VIL, the
M68AW512D is in Byte Read mode. If the two
Byte Enable inputs are at VIL, the M68AW512D is
in Word Read mode. So depending on the status
of the UB and LB signals, valid data will be avail-
able on the lower eight, the upper eight or all six-
teen output pins, tAVQV after the last stable
address, providing G is Low, E1 is Low and E2 is
High.
If either of E1 or G is asserted after tAVQV has
elapsed, data access will be measured from the
limiting parameter (tELQV, tGLQV or tBLQV) rather
than the address. Data out may be indeterminate
at tELQX, tGLQX and tBLQX, but data lines will al-
ways be valid at tAVQV.
Write Mode
The M68AW512D, when Chip Select (E2) is High,
is in the Write Mode whenever the W and E1 are
Low. Either the Chip Enable Input (E1) or the Write
Enable input (W) must be de-asserted during Ad-
dress transitions for subsequent write cycles.
When E1 or W is Low, and UB or LB is Low, write
cycle begins on the W or E1 falling edge. When E1
and W are Low, and UB = LB = High, write cycle
begins on the first falling edge of UB or LB. There-
fore, address setup time is referenced to Write En-
able, Chip Enables and UB/LB as tAVWL, tAVEL and
tAVBL respectively, and is determined by the latter
occurring falling edge.
The Write cycle can be terminated by the earlier
rising edge of E1, W, UB and LB.
If the Output is enabled (E1 = Low, E2 = High, G =
Low, LB or UB = Low), then W will return the out-
puts to high impedance within tWLQZ of its falling
edge. Care must be taken to avoid bus contention
in this type of operation. Data input must be valid
for tDVWH before the rising edge of Write Enable,
or for tDVEH before the rising edge of E1 or for tD-
VBH before the rising edge of UB/LB, whichever
occurs first, and remain valid for tWHDX, tEHDX and
tBHDX respectively.
Standby/Power-Down
The M68AW512D has a Chip Enable power down
feature which invokes an automatic standby mode
whenever Chip Enable is de-asserted (E1 = High)
or Chip Select is asserted (E2 = Low), or UB/LB
are de-asserted (UB/LB = High). An Output En-
able (G) signal provides a high speed tri-state con-
trol, allowing fast read/write cycles to be achieved
with the common I/O data bus. Operational modes
are determined by device control inputs W, E1, LB
and UB as summarized in the Operating Modes ta-
