INTRODUCTION
The QCOTS
TM
UT8Q512K32 Quantified Commercial
Off-the-Shelf product is a high-performance 2M byte
(16Mbit) CMOS static RAM multi-chip module (MCM),
organized as four individual 524,288 x 8 bit SRAMs with a
common output enable. Memory expansion is provided by
an active LOW chip enable (En), an active LOW output
enable (G), and three-state drivers. This device has a power-
down feature that reduces power consumption by more than
90% when deselected.
Writing to each memory is accomplished by taking the chip
enable (En) input LOW and write enable ( Wn) inputs LOW.
Data on the I/O pins is then written into the location
specified on the address pins (A
0
through A
18
). Reading
from the device is accomplished by taking the chip enable
(En) and output enable (G) LOW while forcing write enable
(Wn) HIGH. Under these conditions, the contents of the
memory location specified by the address pins will appear
on the I/O pins.
The input/output pins are placed in a high impedance state
when the device is deselected (En HIGH), the outputs are
disabled (G HIGH), or during a write operation (En LOW
and Wn LOW). Perform 8, 16, 24 or 32 bit accesses by
making Wn along with En a common input to any
combination of the discrete memory die.

DEVICE OPERATION
Each die in the UT8Q512K32 has three control inputs called
Enable (En), Write Enable (Wn), and Output Enable (G); 19
address inputs, A(18:0); and eight bidirectional data lines,
DQ(7:0). The device enable (En) controls device selection,
active, and standby modes. Asserting En enables the device,
causes I
DD
to rise to its active value, and decodes the 19 address
inputs to each memory die by selecting the 2,048,000 byte of
memory. Wn controls read and write operations. During a read
cycle, G must be asserted to enable the outputs.
Table 1. Device Operation Truth Table
Notes:
1. “X” is defined as a “don’t care” condition.
2. Device active; outputs disabled.
READ CYCLE
A combination of Wn greater than V
IH
(min) with En and G less
than V
IL
(max) defines a read cycle. Read access time is
measured from the latter of device enable, output enable, or valid
address to valid data output.
SRAM read Cycle 1, the Address Access is initiated by a change
in address inputs while the chip is enabled with G asserted and
Wn deasserted. Valid data appears on data outputs DQn(7:0)
after the specified t
AVQV
is satisfied. Outputs remain active
throughout the entire cycle. As long as device enable and output
enable are active, the address inputs may change at a rate equal
to the minimum read cycle time (t
AVAV
).
SRAM read Cycle 2, the Chip Enable-controlled Access is
initiated by En going active while G remains asserted, Wn
remains deasserted, and the addresses remain stable for the
entire cycle. After the specified t
ETQV
is satisfied, the eight-bit
word addressed by A(18:0) is accessed and appears at the data
outputs DQn(7:0).
SRAM read Cycle 3, the Output Enable-controlled Access is
initiated by G going active while En is asserted, Wn is
deasserted, and the addresses are stable. Read access time is
t
GLQV
unless t
AVQV
or t
ETQV
have not been satisfied.

WRITE CYCLE
A combination of Wn less than V
IL
(max) and En less than
V
IL
(max) defines a write cycle. The state of G is a “don’t care”
for a write cycle. The outputs are placed in the high-impedance
state when either G is greater than V
IH
(min), or when Wn is less
than V
IL
(max).
Write Cycle 1, the Write Enable-controlled Access is defined
by a write terminated by Wn going high, with En still active.
The write pulse width is defined by t
WLWH
when the write is
initiated by Wn, and by t
ETWH
when the write is initiated by En.
Unless the outputs have been previously placed in the high-
impedance state by G, the user must wait t
WLQZ
before applying
data to the eight bidirectional pins DQn(7:0) to avoid bus
contention.
Write Cycle 2, the Chip Enable-controlled Access is defined by
a write terminated by the former of En or Wn going inactive.
The write pulse width is defined by t
WLEF
when the write is
initiated by Wn, and by t
ETEF
when the write is initiated by the
En going active. For the Wn initiated write, unless the outputs
have been previously placed in the high-impedance state by G,
the user must wait t
WLQZ
before applying data to the eight
bidirectional pins DQn(7:0) to avoid bus contention.
