    Drams may be 16k, 64k or 256k For 4 banks, can drive 16 data bits a 6 check bits for ECC. For 2 banks, can drive 32 data bits a 7 check bits for ECC. For 1 bank, can drive 64 data bits a 8 check bits for ECC. * These outputs may need damping resistors to prevent overshoot, undershoot at memories. TL/F/5012 – 2 FIGURE 2.

    Refreshing The DP8409A also provdes hidden refresh capability while in one of the automatic access modes ( Figure 4 ). In this mode, it will automatically perform a refresh without the sys- tem being interrupted. To do this, the DP8409A requires two clock signals, refresh clock (RFCK) which defines the re- fresh period (usually 16 m s), and RAS gen ...

    Two new devices are now available for this application. The DP84240 is pin and function compatible with the DM74S240. The DP84244 is likewise compatible with the DM74S244. However, this is where the similarity between the devices ends. Both the DP84240 and the DP84244 have been designed specifically to drive DRAM arrays. Fig- ure 5 shows a typical ...

    A key advantage of the DP8400 is that it has three error flags detailing the type of error occurrence. These are gen- erated using the syndrome word in the manner shown in Figure 11 . The resulting error type identifications are shown in Table V. The three error flags allow complete error type identification, plus the unique determination of double ...

    After the complement correct cycle, the memory must be rewritten with the corrected data since the address now contains data that is complemented. Full error reporting is available from the DP8400 after the second read, the com- plement read, of memory. This is shown in Table VI. This method is a very effective tool to avoid system crash due to mem ...

    MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE CIRCUITS The major 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessors have dif- ferent control signal timing. There are also a number of speed options. The DP8400 family was designed, not for a specific microprocessor, but rather, significant control flexi- bility has been provided on both the DP84XX DRAM control- ler/drivers and the ...

    The DP8400 DRAM interface family provides complete solu- tions to memory support. This begins with the LSI functions such as the DP8400 expandable error checker/corrector and the DP8409A DRAM controller/driver. It continues with the DP84240 and the DP84244 high performance buffer/ drivers. Finally, it concludes with easy interface to popular microp ...
