Product details
Overview
CY7C1338G-117AXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 4-Mbit (128K × 32) synchronous flow-through SRAM with 117 MHz clock operation, 7.5 ns clock-to-output access time, 3.3 V core supply (VDD), 2.5/3.3 V I/O supply (VDDQ), and 100-pin TQFP package. It serves as a secondary cache RAM for high-speed microprocessors including Intel Pentium® and i486™, supporting both interleaved and linear burst sequences via MODE pin selection.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1338G-117AXC datasheet, CY7C1338G-117AXC pinout, CY7C1338G-117AXC application, or CY7C1338G-117AXC equivalent, key selection criteria include synchronous burst timing control (ADSP/ADSC/ADV), byte-write granularity (BWA–BWD + BWE), global write capability (GW), asynchronous output enable (OE), and ZZ sleep mode entry/exit timing.
Technical Context
The CY7C1338G-117AXC implements a 2-bit on-chip wraparound burst counter fed by A[1:0], enabling four-word burst reads/writes with user-selectable linear or interleaved order determined by the static MODE pin. All address, data, and control inputs (except OE and ZZ) are registered on the rising edge of CLK.
It supports dual-address-strobe initiation (ADSP for processor-initiated, ADSC for controller-initiated bursts), synchronous self-timed writes, and asynchronous tri-state control via OE. The device operates with three synchronized chip enables (CE1 active-low, CE2 active-high, CE3 active-low) and includes dedicated byte-write registers per DQA–DQD byte lane.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (128K × 32) - provides full-word cache line storage for 32-bit processors without external data bus widening. |
| Access Time (tCDV) | 7.5 ns at 117 MHz - defines maximum delay from CLK rise to valid DQ output during read cycles. |
| Core Supply (VDD) | 3.3 V ±5% - powers internal logic and memory array; requires tight regulation for timing stability. |
| I/O Supply (VDDQ) | 2.5 V or 3.3 V - independently configurable to match host processor I/O voltage, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| Burst Mode Control | MODE pin strapping - LOW = linear burst (00→01→10→11); HIGH/floating = interleaved (00→01→10→11 → 01→00→11→10), matching Pentium® protocol. |
| Sleep Mode Entry | Asynchronous ZZ HIGH - reduces standby current to 40 mA while preserving data; requires 2 clock cycles to enter/exit. |
| Write Architecture | Synchronous self-timed write with GW override - eliminates external write pulse timing constraints; GW forces full 32-bit write regardless of BW[A:D] state. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP), lead-free, JEDEC-standard footprint with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK | Synchronous clock input | Rising-edge-triggered master timing reference for all registered inputs (address, control, data) and burst counter increment. |
| ADSP / ADSC | Address strobe inputs | ADSP initiates processor-originated bursts; ADSC initiates controller-originated bursts; ADSP takes priority when both asserted. |
| ADV | Burst address advance | Samples on CLK rise to increment internal 2-bit counter and generate next burst address automatically. |
| CE1, CE2, CE3 | Chip enable inputs | Three-level decode: CE1 (active-low), CE2 (active-high), CE3 (active-low); all must be active for device selection. |
| OE | Asynchronous output enable | Active-low; controls DQ direction asynchronously-LOW enables outputs, HIGH places DQs in high-impedance state. |
| ZZ | Asynchronous sleep control | Active-high; forces low-power snooze mode with guaranteed data retention; requires 2tCYC recovery before next access. |
| MODE | Burst sequence selector | Static strap pin: GND = linear burst; VDD/floating = interleaved burst; must remain stable during operation. |
| BWA–BWD, BWE | Byte write controls | BWA–BWD select DQA–DQD lanes; BWE enables byte write-both required for partial-word writes. |
| GW | Global write enable | Active-low synchronous override: forces full 32-bit write regardless of BW[A:D] states, simplifying burst write logic. |
| DQA–DQD | Common I/O data bus | Four 8-bit bidirectional lanes (32-bit total); direction controlled by OE; tri-stated automatically during writes for safety. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through synchronous architecture | Eliminates pipeline stalls in burst reads: data appears on DQs one clock after ADSP/ADSC assertion, with no additional wait states. |
| User-selectable burst order | Hardware-mode selection (MODE pin) enables drop-in compatibility with both Pentium®-interleaved and generic linear-burst systems. |
| Synchronous self-timed write | Internal write timing control removes dependency on external write pulse width or setup/hold margins, reducing PCB routing complexity. |
| Dual address strobe support | Separate ADSP and ADSC inputs allow clean separation between CPU-initiated and cache-controller-initiated memory transactions. |
| Flexible I/O voltage operation | VDDQ supports 2.5 V or 3.3 V, enabling direct interface to either generation of 32-bit microprocessors without level-shifting circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the function of the MODE pin on CY7C1338G-117AXC?
The MODE pin selects burst address sequence behavior: tied LOW (GND) enables linear burst order (00→01→10→11); tied HIGH (VDD) or left floating enables interleaved burst order (00→01→10→11→01→00→11→10), matching Intel Pentium® protocol. It is a static strap pin and must not change during operation.
How does the ZZ pin affect power consumption and timing?
Asserting ZZ HIGH places the device in snooze mode, reducing standby current to 40 mA while preserving data integrity. Entry and exit each require exactly two clock cycles (2tCYC); during this window, CE1/CE2/CE3, ADSP, and ADSC must remain inactive to ensure reliable recovery.
Can CY7C1338G-117AXC operate with 2.5 V I/O while using 3.3 V core supply?
Yes. VDD is fixed at 3.3 V ±5% for core logic and memory array, while VDDQ may be independently set to either 2.5 V or 3.3 V to match the host processor's I/O voltage domain-enabling seamless integration into mixed-voltage systems without external level shifters.
What distinguishes ADSP from ADSC in burst initiation?
ADSP (Address Strobe Processor) initiates bursts originating from the CPU; ADSC (Address Strobe Controller) initiates bursts from a cache controller or DMA engine. ADSP has priority-if both are asserted simultaneously, only ADSP is recognized. Both sample addresses on CLK rise and load A[1:0] into the burst counter.
