CMPE328 Spring 27-8 r.mehmet Bodur, EMU-CMPE 2 Memory Fundamentals Memory Capacity: measured in number of bits. Memory Organization described in number.of.words wordsize Word-size is determined by the number.of.data.lines on the chip. Example is an EPROM with 8-data and 3-address lines: organization: 2 3 x 8-bit = 8k x 8-bit capacity: 64 kilo bit. CMPE328 Spring 27-8 Section. r.mehmet Bodur, EMU-CMPE 3 CMPE328 Spring 27-8 Units of Memory Capacity bit stores one of two cases. Either, or. No other value is possible nibble = four bits. It stores one of 6 cases. BC digits, hexadecimal digits, etc. byte = 8-bit. It stores one SCII character. kbit = 2 bits = 24 bits lmost one page of alphanumeric text. kbyte = 2 Bytes = 24 x 8 bits. ddress lines to 9 specifies 24 locations.

Memory Read/Write Cycle time is the maximum of read cycle and write cycle. Other Characteristics Memory Power Consumption Number of write cycles. r.mehmet Bodur, EMU-CMPE 5 Memory Types Read Only Memory (ROM).

3 Section. Static RM evices Static Random ccess Memory (SRM devices) typical ns < T RWC < 25ns (faster devices are expensive. Fast devices are used for Local Cache.) Various capacities possible. 66 (2k x 8-bit) 6264 (8k x 8-bit) (8k x 32-bit) NV-RM is a low-power SRM. It has a Lithium Battery and powercontrol circuit. It has infinite write cycle life, and data retention over years. (Config. RM in PC s) NV is abbreviation of non-volatile. 66 Typical Memory Control Lines ~CS ( ~chip select = : ~chip enable) (Write Enable) (Output Enable) CMPE328 Spring 27-8 r.mehmet Bodur, EMU-CMPE 9 CMPE328 Spring 27-8 r.mehmet Bodur, EMU-CMPE Section. Section. RM devices use ddress lines multiplexed. Example: 64kx4 bit device needs [..5], but 6 lines are multiplexed to 8 lines. t the edge of CS device holds [...7]. t the edge of RS device holds [8..5]. RM evices Properties of RM RM memory cells are made of two transistors and a capacitor. They are eight times cheaper than ten-transistor-flip-flops of SRM circuits. The charge stored in the capacitor decays in ms. It needs row-refresh circuitry additional to the row-column address multiplexing circuit. The row-refresh and multiplexing requires RM controller circuits. Example: 8-bit row and 8-bit column decoders of 4464 RM works faster than a full 4-bit decoder of SRM device. For 4464, a RM controller generates 256 refresh cycles at every millisecond. CMPE328 Spring 27-8 r.mehmet Bodur, EMU-CMPE CMPE328 Spring 27-8 r.mehmet Bodur, EMU-CMPE 2

4 Section.2 ddress ecoding ddress ecoding provides systematic generation of memory ~CS signals. The goal of address decoding is to enable only a single memory device Well known methods of address decoding: N-OR-COMPLEMENT, or NN gate logic. Using commercial decoder chips, LS38, LS39. Using PROM, PL, FPG devices. Current Technology uses programmable devices. We will see only by using gates, and decoder devices to understand the decoding process. Section.2 Memory/IO ddress ecoding We limit designs only to SRM and EPROM circuits. We assume complete address decoding. ll address lines must be included to decoding. memory system design shall be accompanied by a memory address map. memory address map is a table of ddress Bus Lines, with corresponding status for each memory or decoder device.

On Power-Up, boot program tests the sum of all bytes in ROM to test any failure of the ROM block. (It is called CHECKSUM test). RM memory system Organized in 9-bit words. There is a parity generator-tester 74S28 When writing data, it puts into 9 th bit a parity bit (that completes the 8 data bits to even parity) When reading data, it tests parity bit. If parity fails, it generates a non-maskable interrupt to give a memory error message. It is called parity-test r.mehmet Bodur, EMU-CMPE 28

Section.5 Memory Bus Bandwidth The data rate of a bus is mostly called the Bus Bandwidth. Bus Bandwidth = bus-width / bus-cycle-time. (measured in MBytes/sec) Example: 888 bus takes 4 processor cycles to carry out 8-bit memory read or write cycles. Find Bus Bandwidth of a 2MHz 888 system. Bus-Bandwidth 888 = byte 2MHz / 4 proc-cyc. = 5 MB/s 8286 bus takes 2 processor cycles for a 6-bit memory read or write. Find Bus Bandwidth of a 2 MHz 8286 system. Bus-Bandwidth 8286 = 2bytes 2MHz / 2proc-cyc = 2 MB/s Buses with wait cycles will have smaller bandwidth.
