WE
(input pin):
WE
pin has two functions at the falling edge of
RAS
and after. When
WE
is low at the
falling edge of
RAS
, the HM534253B turns to mask write mode. According to the I/O level at the time,
write on each I/O can be masked. (
WE
level at the falling edge of
RAS
is don’t care in read cycle.) When
WE
is high at the falling edge of
RAS
, a normal write cycle is executed. After that,
WE
switches
read/write cycles as in a standard DRAM. In a transfer cycle, the direction of transfer is determined by
WE
level at the falling edge of
RAS
. When
WE
is low, data is transferred from SAM to RAM (data is
written into RAM), and when
WE
is high, data is transferred from RAM to SAM (data is read from RAM).
I/O0 – I/O3 (input/output pins): I/O pins function as mask data at the falling edge of
RAS
(in mask write
mode). Data is written only to high I/O pins. Data on low I/O pins are masked and internal data are
retained. After that, they function as input/output pins as those of a standard DRAM. In block write cycle,
they function as address mask data at the falling edges of
CAS
.
DT
/
OE
(input pin):
DT
/
OE
pin functions as
DT
(data transfer) pin at the falling edge of
RAS
and as
OE
(output enable) pin after that. When
DT
is low at the falling edge of
RAS
, this cycle becomes a transfer
cycle. When
DT
is high at the falling edge of
RAS
, RAM and SAM operate independently.
SC (input pin): SC is a basic SAM clock. In a serial read cycle, data outputs from an SI/O pin
synchronously with the rising edge of SC. In a serial write cycle, data on an SI/O pin at the rising edge of
SC is fetched into the SAM data register.
SE
(input pin):
SE
pin activates SAM. When
SE
is high, SI/O is in the high impedance state in serial read
cycle and data on SI/O is not fetched into the SAM data register in serial write cycle.
SE
can be used as a
mask for serial write because internal pointer is incremented at the rising edge of SC.
SI/O0 – SI/O3 (input/output pins): SI/Os are input/output pins in SAM. Direction of input/output is
determined by the previous transfer cycle. When it was a read transfer cycle, SI/O outputs data. When it
was a pseudo transfer cycle or write transfer cycle, SI/O inputs data.
DSF (input pin): DSF is a special function data input flag pin. It is set to high at the falling edge of
RAS
when new functions such as color register read/write, split transfer, and flash write, are used. DSF is set to
high at the falling edge of
CAS
when block write is executed.
QSF (output pin): QSF outputs data of address A8 in SAM. QSF is switched from low to high by
accessing address 255 in SAM and from high to low by accessing 511 address in SAM.
Operation of HM534253B
RAM Port Operation
RAM Read Cycle (
DT
/
OE
high,
CAS
high and DSF low at the falling edge of
RAS
, DSF low at the
falling edge of
CAS
)
Row address is entered at the
RAS
falling edge and column address at the
CAS
falling edge to the device
as in standard DRAM. Then, when
WE
is high and
DT
/
OE
is low while
CAS
is low, the selected address
data outputs through I/O pin. At the falling edge of
RAS
,
DT
/
OE
and
CAS
become high to distinguish
RAM read cycle from transfer cycle and CBR refresh cycle. Address access time (tAA) and
RAS
to
column address delay time (tRAD) specifications are added to enable high-speed page mode.
