SMJ44C251B  
MT42C4256  
DESCRIPTION  
The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 multiport video RAM is a  
high-speed, dual-ported memory device. It consists of a dynamic  
random-access memory (DRAM) organized as 262144 words  
of 4 bits each interfaced to a serial-data register or serial-access  
memory (SAM) organized as 512 words of 4 bits each. The  
SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 supports three types of operation:  
random access to and from the DRAM, serial access to and from  
the serial register, and bidirectional transfer of data between any  
row in the DRAM and the serial register. Except during transfer  
operations, the SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 can be accessed  
simultaneously and asynchronously from the DRAM and SAM  
ports.  
applications not requiring real-time register reload (for example,  
reloads done during CRT retrace periods), the single-register  
mode of operation is retained to simplify design. The SAM can  
also be congured in input mode, accepting serial data from an  
external device. Once the serial register within the SAM is loaded,  
its contents can be transferred to the corresponding column posi-  
tions in any row in memory in a single memory cycle.  
The SAM port is designed for maximum performance. Data  
can be input to or accessed from the SAM at serial rates up to  
33 MHz. During the split-register mode of operation, internal  
circuitry detects when the last bit position is accessed from the  
active half of the register and immediately transfers control to the  
During a transfer operation, the 512 columns of the DRAM  
are connected to the 512 positions in the serial data register. The  
512 × 4-bit serial-data register can be loaded from the memory  
row (transfer read), or the contents of the 512 × 4-bit serial-data  
register can be written to the memory row (transfer write).  
The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 is equipped with several  
features designed to provide higher system-level bandwidth and  
to simplify design integration on both the DRAM and SAM ports.  
On the DRAM port, greater pixel draw rates can be achieved  
by the device’s 4 × 4 block-write mode. The block-write mode  
allows four bits of data (present in an on-chip color-data register)  
to be written to any combination of four adjacent column-address  
locations. As many as 16 bits of data can be written to memory  
during each CAS cycle time. Also on the DRAM port, a write  
mask or a write-per-bit feature allows masking any combina-  
tion of the four input/outputs on any write cycle. The persistent  
write-per-bit feature uses a mask register that, once loaded, can  
be used on subsequent write cycles. The mask register eliminates  
having to provide mask data on every mask-write cycle.  
The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 offers a split-register  
transfer read (DRAM to SAM) feature for the serial tester  
(SAM port). This feature enables real-time register reload  
implementation for truly continuous serial data streams without  
critical timing requirements. The register is divided into a high  
half and a low half. While one half is being read out of the SAM  
port, the other half can be loaded from the memory array. For  
opposite half. A separate output, QSF, is included to  
dicate which half of the serial register is active at any given time  
in the split-register mode.  
in-  
All inputs, outputs, and clock signals on the SMJ44C251B/  
MT42C4256 are compatible with Series 54 TTL devices. All  
address lines and data-in lines are latched on-chip to simplify  
system design. All data-out lines are unlatched to allow greater  
system exibility.  
Enhanced page-mode operation allows faster memory ac-  
cess by keeping the same row address while selecting random  
column addresses. The time for row-address setup, row-address  
hold, and address multiplex is eliminated, and a memory cycle  
time reduction of up to 3× can be achieved, compared to mini-  
mum RAS cycle times. The maximum number of columns that  
can be accessed is determined by the maximum RAS low time  
and page-mode cycle time used. The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256  
allows a full page (512 cycles) of  
information to be accessed in  
read, write, or read-modify-write mode during a single RAS-low  
period using relatively conservative page-mode cycle times.  
The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 employs state-of-the-art  
technology for very high performance combined with improved  
reliability.

ROW-ADDRESS STROBE (RAS\)  
OPERATION  
RAS\ is similar to a chip enable because all DRAM cycles  
and transfer cycles are initiated by the falling edge of RAS\.  
RAS\ is a control input that latches the states of row address,  
W\, TRG\, SE\, CAS\, and DSF onto the chip to invoke DRAM  
and transfer functions.  
Depending on the type of operation chosen, the signals of  
the SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 perform different functions.  
The “Detailed Signal Description vs. Operational Mode” table  
summarizes the signal descriptions and the operational modes  
they control.  
The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 has three kinds of  
operations: random-access operations typical of a DRAM,  
transfer operations from memory arrays to the SAM, and  
serial-access operations through the SAM port. The signals  
used to control these operations are described here, followed  
by discussions of the operations themselves.  
COLUMN-ADDRESS STROBE (CAS\)  
CAS\ is a control input that latches the states of column  
address and DSF to control DRAM and transfer functions.  
When CAS\ is brought low during a transfer cycle, it latches  
the new tap point for the serial-data input or output. CAS\ also  
acts as an output enable for the DRAM outputs DQ0–DQ3.  
ADDRESS (A0–A8)  
OUTPUT ENABLE/TRANSFER SELECT (TRG\)  
TRG\ selects either DRAM or transfer operation as RAS\  
falls. For DRAM operation, TRG\ must be held high as RAS\  
falls. During DRAM operation, TRG\ functions as an out-  
put enable for the DRAM outputs DQ0–DQ3. For transfer  
operation, TRG\ must be brought low before RAS\ falls.  
For DRAM operation, 18 address bits are required to  
decode one of the 262144 storage cell locations. Nine row- ad-  
dress bits are set up onA0–A8 and latched onto the chip on the  
falling edge of RAS\. Nine column-address bits are set up on  
A0–A8 and latched onto the chip on the falling edge of CAS\.  
All addresses must be stable on or before the falling edges of  
RAS\ and CAS\.  
WRITE-MASK SELECT, WRITE ENABLE (W\)  
In DRAM operation, W\ enables data to be written to the  
DRAM. W\ is also used to select the DRAM write-per-bit  
mode. Holding W\ low on the falling edge of RAS\ invokes  
the write-per-bit operation. The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256  
supports both the normal write-per-bit mode and the persistent  
write-per-bit mode.  
During the transfer operation, the states of A0–A8 are  
latched on the falling edge of RAS\ to select one of the 512  
rows where the transfer occurs. To select one of 512 tap points  
(starting positions) for the serial-data input or output, the  
appropriate 9-bit column address (A0–A8) must be valid when  
CAS\ falls.

VRAM  
SMJ44C251B  
MT42C4256  
WRITE-MASK SELECT, WRITE ENABLE (W\)  
(continued)  
For transfer operation, W\ selects either a read-transfer op-  
eration (DRAM to SAM) or a write-transfer operation (SAM to  
DRAM). During a transfer cycle, if W is high when RAS\ falls,  
a read transfer occurs; if W is low, a write transfer occurs.  
in serial-output mode, data in SAM is accessed from the least  
signicant bit to the most signicant bit. The data registers oper-  
ate modulo 512; so after bit 511 is accessed, the next bits to be  
accessed are 00, 01, 02, etc. If the previous transfer cycle was  
either a write transfer or a pseudo transfer, the data register is in  
serial-input mode and signal data can be input to the register.  
SPECIAL FUNCTION SELECT (DSF)  
SERIAL CLOCK (SC)  
DSF is latched on the falling edge of RAS\ or CAS\, similar  
to an address. DSF determines which of the following functions  
are invoked on a particular cycle:  
Serial data is accessed in or out of the data register on the  
rising edge of SC. The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 is designed  
to work with a wide range of clock-duty cycles to simplify  
system design. There is no refresh requirement because the  
data registers that comprise the SAM are static. There is also  
no minimum SC clock operating frequency.  
Persistent write-per-bit  
Block write  
Split-register transfer read  
Mask-register load for the persistent write-per-bit mode  
Color-register load for the block-write mode  
SERIAL ENABLE (SE\)  
During serial-access operations SE\ is used as an enable/  
disable for SDQ in both the input and output modes. If SE\  
is held as RAS\ falls during a write-transfer cycle, a pseudo-  
transfer write occurs. There is no actual transfer, but the data  
register switches from the output mode to the input mode.  
DRAM DATA I/O, WRITE-MASK DATA (DQ0–DQ3)  
DRAM data is written via DQ terminals during a write or  
read-modify-write cycle. In an early-write cycle, W\ is brought  
low prior to CAS\ and the data is strobed in by CAS\ with data  
setup and hold times referenced to this signal. In a delayed-write  
or read-modify-write cycle, W\ is brought low after CAS\ and the  
data is strobed in by W\ with data setup and hold times referenced  
to this signal.  
The 3-state DQ output buffers provide direct TTL  
compatibility (no pullup resistors) with a fanout of two Series 54  
TTL loads. Data out is the same polarity as data in. The outputs  
are in the high-impedance (oating) state as long as CAS\ and  
TRG\ are held high. Data does not appear at the outputs until  
both CAS\ and TRG\ are brought low. Once the outputs are valid,  
they remain valid while CAS\ and TRG\ are low. CAS\ or TRG\  
going high returns the outputs to the high-impedance state. In a  
register-transfer operation, the DQ outputs remain in the high-  
impedance state for the entire cycle.  
NO CONNECT/GROUND (NC/GND)  
NC/GND is reserved for the manufacturer’s test opera-  
tion. It is an input and should be tied to system ground or left  
oating for proper device operation.  
SPECIAL FUNCTION OUTPUT (QSF)  
During split-register operation the QSF output indicates  
which half of the SAM is being accessed. When QSF is low,  
the serial-address pointer is accessing the lower (least signi-  
cant) 256 bits of SAM. When QSF is high, the serial-address  
pointer is accessing the higher (most signicant) 256 bits of  
SAM. QSF changes state upon crossing the boundary between  
the two SAM halves in the split-register mode.  
During normal transfer operations QSF changes state upon  
completing a transfer cycle. This state is determined  
by the tap point being loaded during the transfer cycle.  
The write-per-bit mask is latched into the device via the  
random DQ terminals by the falling edge of RAS\. This mask  
selects which of the four random I/Os are written.  
POWER UP  
SERIAL DATA I/O (SDQ0–SDQ3)  
To achieve proper device operation, an initial pause of  
200ms is required after power-up, followed by a minimum of  
eight RAS\ cycles or eight CBR cycles, a memory-to-register  
transfer cycle, and two SC cycles.  
Serial inputs and serial outputs share common I/O  
terminals. Serial-input or serial-output mode is determined by  
the previous transfer cycle. If the previous transfer cycle was a  
read transfer, the data register is in serial-output mode. While

column addresses. This mode eliminates the time required for

maximum RAS\ low time and the CAS\ page cycle time used

RAS\-ONLY REFRESH  
Arefresh operation must be performed to each row at least  
once every 8 ms to retain data. Unless CAS\ is applied, the out-  
put buffers are in the high-impedance state, so the RAS\-only  
refresh sequence avoids any output during refresh. Externally  
generated addresses must be supplied during RAS-only refresh.  
Strobing each of the 512 row addresses with RAS causes  
higher data bandwidth. Data retrieval begins as soon as the  
column address is valid rather than when CAS\ transitions low.

BLOCK WRITE  
The block-write mode allows data (present in an on-  
chip color register) to be written into four consecutive  
column-address locations. The 4-bit color register is loaded  
by the color-register-load cycle. Both write-per-bit modes can  
be applied in the block-write cycle. The block-write mode also  
offers the 4 × 4 column-mask capability.  
RAS\-ONLY REFRESH (continued)  
all bits in each row to be refreshed. CAS\ can remain high  
(inactive) for this refresh sequence to conserve power.  
CAS\-BEFORE-RAS\ (CBR) REFRESH  
CBR refresh is accomplished by bringing CAS\ low earlier  
than RAS\. The external row address is ignored and the refresh  
row address is generated internally when using CBR refresh.  
Other cycles can be performed in between CBR cycles without  
disturbing the internal address generation.  
LOAD COLOR REGISTER  
The load-color-register cycle is performed using normal  
DRAM write-cycle timing except that DSF is held high on the  
falling edges of RAS\ and CAS\. A 4-bit code is input to the  
color register via the random I/O terminals and latched on the  
later of the falling edge of CAS\ or W\. After the color register  
is loaded, it retains data until power is lost or until another  
load-color-register cycle is executed.  
HIDDEN REFRESH  
A hidden refresh is accomplished by holding CAS\ low in  
the DRAM-read cycle and cycling RAS\. The output data of  
the DRAM-read cycle remains valid while the refresh is being  
carried out. Like the CBR refresh, the refreshed row addresses  
are generated internally during the hidden refresh.  
BLOCK WRITE CYCLE  
After the color register is loaded, the block-write cycle can  
begin as a normal DRAM write cycle with DSF held high on  
the falling edge of CAS\ (see Figures 2, 3, and 4). When the  
block-write cycle is invoked, each data bit in the 4-bit color  
register is written to selected bits of the four adjacent columns  
of the corresponding random I/O.  
WRITE-PER-BIT  
The write-per-bit feature allows masking of any  
com-  
bination of the four DQs on any write cycle (see Figure 1). The  
write-per-bit operation is invoked only when W\ is held low on  
the falling edge of RAS\. If W\ is held high on the falling edge  
During block-write cycles, only the seven most signicant  
column addresses (A2–A8) are latched on the falling edge of  
CAS\. The two least signicant addresses (A0–A1) are replaced  
by four DQ bits (DQ0–DQ3), which are also latched on the  
later of the falling edge of CAS\ or W\. These four bits are  
used as a column mask, and they indicate which of the four  
column-address locations addressed byA2–A8 are written with  
the contents of the color register during the block-write cycle.  
DQ0 enables a write to column-address A1 = 0 (low), A0 = 0  
(low); DQ1 enables a write to column-address A1 = 0 (low),  
A0 = 1 (high); DQ2 enables a write to column-address A1 = 1  
(high), A0 = 0 (low); DQ3 enables a write to column-address  
A1 = 1 (high),A0 = 1 (high).Ahigh logic level enables a write,  
and a low logic level disables the write. A maximum of 16 bits  
(4 × 4) can be written to memory during each CAS\ cycle in  
the block-write mode.  
of RAS\, write-per-bit is not enabled and the write  
operation  
is performed to all four DQs. The SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256  
offers two write-per-bit modes: the nonpersistent write-per-bit  
mode and the persistent write-per-bit mode.  
NONPERSISTENT WRITE-PER-BIT  
When DSF is low on the falling edge of RAS\, the write  
mask is reloaded. A 4-bit code (the write-per-bit mask) is input  
to the device via the random DQ terminals and latched on the  
falling edge of RAS\. The write-per-bit mask selects which of  
the four random I/Os are written and which are not. After RAS\  
has latched the on-chip write-per-bit mask, input data is driven  
onto the DQ terminals and is latched on the later falling edge of  
CAS\ or W\. When a data low is strobed into a particular I/O on  
the falling edge of RAS\, data is not written to that I/O. When a  
data high is strobed into a particular I/O on the falling edge of  
RAS\, data is written to that I/O.  
PERSISTENT WRITE-PER-BIT  
When DSF is high on the falling edge of RAS\, the write-  
per-bit mask is not reloaded: it retains the value stored during  
the last write-per-bit mask reload. This mode of operation is  
known as persistent write-per-bit because the write-per-bit  
mask is persistent over an arbitrary number of write cycles. The  
write-per-bit mask reload can be done during the nonpersistent  
write-per-bit cycle or by the mask-register-load cycle.

TRANSFER OPERATION  
Transfer operations between the memory arrays (DRAM)  
and the data registers (SAM) are invoked by bringing TRG\ low  
before RAS\ falls. The states of W\, SE\, and DSF, which are also  
latched on the falling edge of RAS\, determine which transfer  
operation is invoked. Figure 5 shows an overview of data ow  
between the random and the serial interfaces.  
As shown in the “Transfer-Operation Functions” table,  
the SMJ44C251B/MT42C4256 supports ve basic modes of  
transfer operation:  
Register-to-memory transfer (normal write transfer,  
SAM to DRAM)  
Alternate-write transfer (independent of the state of SE\)  
Memory-to-register transfer (pseudo-transfer write).

PSEUDO-WRITE TRANSFER  
(write-mode control) (refer to Figure 28)  
To invoke the pseudo-write transfer (write-mode control  
cycle), SE\ is brought high and latched at the falling edge of  
RAS\. The pseudo-write transfer does not actually invoke any  
data transfer but switches the mode of the serial port from the  
serial-out (read) mode to the serial-in (write) mode.  
Before serial data can be clocked into the serial port via the  
SDQ terminals and the SC input, the SDQ terminals must be  
switched into input mode. Because the transfer does not occur  
during the pseudo-transfer write, the row address (A0–A8) is in  
the don’t care state and the column address (A0–A8), which is  
latched on the falling edge of CAS\, selects one of the 512 tap  
points in the SAM that are available for the next serial input.  
WRITE TRANSFER  
All write-transfer cycles (except the pseudo write transfer)  
transfer the entire content of SAM to the selected row in the  
DRAM. To invoke a write-transfer cycle, W\ must be low when  
RAS\ falls. There are three possible write-transfer operations:  
normal-write transfer, alternate-write transfer, and pseudo-write  
transfer. All write-transfer cycles switch the serial port to the  
serial-in mode.  
NORMAL-WRITE TRANSFER  
(SAM-to-DRAM transfer)  
A normal-write transfer cycle loads the contents of the  
serial-data register to a selected row in the memory array. TRG\,  
W\, and SE\ are brought low and latched at the falling edge of  
RAS\. Nine row-address bits (A0–A8) are also latched at the  
falling edge of RAS\ to select one of the 512 rows available as  
the destination of the data transfer. The nine column-address bits  
(A0–A8) are latched at the falling edge of CAS\ to select one of  
the 512 tap points in SAM that are available for the next serial  
input.  
READ TRANSFER  
(DRAM-to-SAM transfer) (refer to Figure 7)  
During a read-transfer cycle, data from the selected row  
in DRAM is transferred to SAM. There are two read-transfer  
operations: normal-read transfer and split-register-read  
transfer.  
During a write-transfer operation before RAS\ falls, the  
serial-input operation must be suspended after a minimum  
delay of td(SCRL) but can be resumed after a minimum delay of  
td(RHSC) after RAS goes high (see Figure 6).  
NORMAL-READ TRANSFER  
(refer to Figure 7)  
The normal-read-transfer operation loads data from

of RAS\ in the normal-write-transfer cycle, the alternate-write

selected row in DRAM into SAM. TRG\ is brought low

serial data is read out.  
A normal-read transfer can be performed in three ways:  
early-load read transfer, real-time or midline-load read transfer,  
and late-load read transfer. Each of these offers the exibility  
of controlling the TRG\ trailing edge in the read-transfer cycle  
(see Figure 7).

Anormal-read transfer must precede the split-register-read  
transfer to ensure proper operation. After the normal-read-  
transfer cycle, the rst split-register read transfer can follow  
immediately without any minimum SC requirement. However,  
there is a minimum requirement of a rising edge of SC between  
split-register read-transfer cycles.  
SPLIT-REGISTER-READ TRANSFER  
In split-register-read-transfer operation, the serial-data  
register is split into halves. The low half contains bits 0–255, and  
the high half contains 256–511. While one half is being read out  
of the SAM port, the other half can be loaded from the memory  
array.  
QSF indicates which half of the SAM is being accessed dur-  
ing serial-access operation. When QSF is low, the serial-address  
pointer is accessing the lower (least signicant) 256 bits of the  
SAM. When QSF is high, the pointer is accessing the higher  
(most signicant) 256 bits of the SAM. QSF changes state upon  
completing a normal-read-transfer cycle. The tap point loaded  
during the current transfer cycle determines the state of QSF.  
In split-register read-transfer mode, QSF changes state when a  
boundary between the two register halves is reached (see Figure  
8 and Figure 9).  
To invoke a split-register read-transfer cycle, DSF is brought  
high, TRG\ is brought low, and both are latched at the falling  
edge of RAS\. Nine row-address bits (A0–A8) are also latched  
at the falling edge of RAS\ to select one of the 512 rows avail-  
able for the transfer. The nine column-address bits (A0–A8)  
are latched at the falling edge of CAS\, where address bits A0  
–A7 select one of the 255 tap points in the specied half of SAM  
and address bit A8 selects which half is to be transferred. If A8  
is a logic low, the low half is transferred. If A8 is a logic high,  
the high half is transferred. SAM locations 255 and 511 cannot  
be used as tap points.

The serial-read and serial-write operations can be performed  
through the SAM port simultaneously and asynchronously with  
DRAM operations except during transfer operations. The preced-

operation, the SAM port is in the output mode. If the preceding

the inactive half during this period, the serial pointer points next  
to bit 256 or bit 0, respectively (see Figure 11, Case II).  
For split-register read-transfer operation, serial data can be read

NOTES:  
1. The SMJ44C251B may exhibit simultaneous switching noise as described in the Texas Instruments Advanced CMOS Logic Designers Handbook. This  
phenomenon is exhibited on the DQ terminals when the SDQ terminals are switched and on the SDQ terminals when the DQ terminals are switched. This may  
cause VOL and VOH to exceed the data-book limit for a short period of time, depending upon output loading and temperature. Care should be taken to provide  
proper termination, decoupling, and layout of the device to minimize simultaneous switching effects.  
2. SE\ is disabled for SDQ output leakage tests.  
3.  
ICC (standby) denotes that the SAM port is inactive (standby) and the DRAM port is active (except for ICC2).  
ICCA (active) denotes that the SAM port is active and the DRAM port is active (except for ICC2).  
ICC is measured with no load on DQ or SDQ.  
4. For conditions shown as MIN/ MAX, use the appropriate value specied in the timing requirements.

NOTES:  
1. Capacitance is sampled only at initial design and after any major change. Samples are tested at 0 V and 25°C with a 1-MHz signal applied to the terminal  
under test. All other terminals are open.  
2. Switching times assume CL = 100 pF unless otherwise noted (see Figure 12).  
3. tdis(CH), tdis(G), and tdis(SE) are specied when the output is no longer driven.  
4. For conditions shown as MIN/ MAX, use the appropriate value specied in the timing requirements.

NOTES:  
1. Timing measurements are referenced to VIL max and VIH min.  
2. All cycle times assume tt = 5 ns.  
3. When the odd tap is used (tap address can be 0–511, and odd taps are 1, 3, 5, etc.), the cycle time for SC in the rst serial data out cycle needs to be 70 ns  
minimum.  
4. In a read-modify-write cycle, td(CLWL) and tsu(WCH) must be observed. Depending on the user’s transition times, this may require additional CAS\ low time  
[tw(CL)].  
5. In a read-modify-write cycle, td(RLWL) and tsu(WRH) must be observed. Depending on the user’s transition times, this may require additional RAS\ low time  
[tw(RL)].  
6. Register-to-memory (write) transfer cycles only  
7. The minimum value is measured when td(RLCL) is set to td(RLCL) min as a reference.  
8. Either th(RHrd) or t(CHrd) must be satised for a read cycle.  
9. Output-enable-controlled write. Output remains in the high-impedance state for the entire cycle.  
10. Read-modify-write operation only  
11. TRG\ must disable the output buffers prior to applying data to the DQ terminals.  
12. The maximum value is specied only to assure RAS\ access time.  
13. CAS\-before-RAS\ refresh operation only  
14. Early-load read-transfer cycle only  
15. Real-time-reload read-transfer cycle only  
16. Late-load read-transfer cycle only  
17. In a read-transfer cycle, the state of SC when RAS\ falls is a don’t care condition. However, to assure proper sequencing of the internal clock circuitry, there  
can be no positive transitions of SC for at least 10 ns prior to when RAS\ goes low.  
18. In a memory-to-register (read) transfer cycle, td(SCRL) applies only when the SAM was previously in serial-input mode.  
19. Memory-to-register (read) and register-to-memory (write) transfer cycles only  
20. Serial data-in cycles only  
21. Switching times assume CL = 100 pF unless otherwise noted (see Figure 12).

Early-Load Operation  
NOTES:  
NOTE H: Early-load operation is dened as th(TRG) min < th(TRG) < td(RLTH) min.  
NOTE I: DQ outputs remain in the high-impedance state for the entire memory-to-data-register transfer cycle. The memory-to-data-register transfer cycle is  
used to load the data registers in parallel from the memory array. The 512 locations in each data register are written from the 512 corresponding columns of the  
selected row. The data that is transferred into the data registers can be either shifted out or transferred back into another row.  
NOTE J: Once data is transferred into the data registers, the SAM is in the serial-read mode (i.e., SQ is enabled), allowing data to be shifted out of the registers.  
Also, the rst bit to be read from the data register after TRG\ has gone high must be activated by a positive transition of SC.

FIGURE 35: Split-Register-Transfer Operating Sequence  
NOTES:  
NOTE Q: In order to achieve proper split-register operation, a normal read transfer should be performed before the rst split-register transfer cycle. This is  
necessary to initialize the data register and the starting tap location. First serial access can then begin either after the normal read-transfer cycle (CASE I), during  
the rst split-register cycle (CASE II), or even after the rst split-register transfer cycle (CASE III). There is no minimum requirement of SC clock between  
the normal read-transfer cycle and the rst split-register cycle.  
NOTE R: A split register transfer into the inactive half is not allowed until td(MSRL) is met. td(MSRL) is the minimum delay time between the rising edge of the  
serial clock of the last bit (bit 255 or 511) and the falling edge of RAS\ of the split-register transfer cycle into the inactive half. After td(MSRL) is met, the split-  
register transfer into the inactive half must also satisfy the td(RHMS) requirement. td(RHMS) is the minimum delay time between the rising edge of RAS\ of the  
split-register transfer cycle into the inactive half and the rising edge of the serial clock of the last bit (bit 255 or 511). There is a minimum requirement of one  
rising edge of SC clock between two split-register transfer cycles.

FIGURE 36: Serial-Write-Cycle Timing (SE\ = VIL)  
NOTES:  
NOTE S: The serial data-in cycle is used to input serial data into the data registers. Before data can be written into the data registers via the SDQ terminals,  
the device must be put into the write mode by performing a write-mode-control (pseudo-transfer) cycle or any other write-transfer cycle. A read-transfer cycle  
is the only cycle that takes the serial port (SAM) out of the write mode and puts it into the read mode, disabling the input data. Data is written starting at the  
location specied by the input address loaded on the previous transfer cycle.  
NOTE T: While accessing data in the serial-data registers, the state of TRG\ is a don’t care as long as TRG\ is held high when RAS\ goes low to prevent data  
transfers between memory and data registers.

out of the read mode and put it in the write mode, not allowing the reading of data.
