Description

The delay that is compatible to the DRAM at SRAM interface is read/storage method and circuit
Technical field
The present invention is the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DARM) that is compatible to SRAM (SARM) interface for a kind of, refers to that especially a kind of inner formula carries out the Method and circuits of initialization of external access (initiatedaccess) dynamic memory volume array (comprise a plurality of dynamic memory bodies that need periodically update deposit lattice).
Background technology
Dynamically or Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) device comprise that array deposits lattice, the typical case has comprised a single access electric crystal and a capacitor.Comparatively speaking, SRAM (SARM) comprises a multiple electric crystal lattice array, contain 4 or 6 electric crystals on the general typical case, so, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) has smaller volume, therefore also relatively cheap relatively the time on the price with the SRAM (SARM) of ad eundem, but, SRAM (SARM) has the advantage of low Mao electricity, because Dynamic Random Access Memory (DARM) lattice capacitor must often more be newly arrived and be kept their memory kenel.
From the viewpoint that reduces cost, should use Dynamic Random Access Memory (DARM), rather than SRAM (SARM).For example, we can be in the electronic system of portable and mobile phone be replaced by the SRAM (SARM) of low power consumption the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DARM) that can reduce chip or system bulk size and cost.For the ease of replacing SRAM (SARM) with Dynamic Random Access Memory (DARM), under the prerequisite that performance does not influence, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DARM) must overcome three problems.
1. inner upgrade operation must transparence to this external procedure of putting;
2. power consumption is essential reduces, and particularly reads/storage operation by the unnecessary inside of cancellation;
3. the external access operation of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DARM) must be compatible with the SRAM (SARM) of the access operation, particularly asynchronous type of a standard static random access memory (SARM).
Please consult Fig. 1 earlier, the time that a common Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is installed under the compatible state of a SRAM (SARM) is chosen (timing) figure, comprising two operation kenels.In the kenel bottom being illustrated in, bide one's time then initialization one external access operation in time if there is not outside or hiding renewal operation.And in the kenel on top, when starting the external access operation of a memory body position, then wait for a concealed renewal.Exception portion address bus (bus) 22 transition statuses of particularly consulting the below or not having a concealed renewal are to address AD2.When access required (ACCESS REQUEST), Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) can interrupt this conversion process.Because in Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), there be not concealed being updated in the wait, therefore, carry out (ACCESS EXECUTE) when occurring when the access of WL (AD2), asynchronous access requires the operation meeting to begin execution immediately.Noticeable, for Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), this access needs minimum memory lattice store cycle time, and it is Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) row (row) access time to add above-listed (row) precharge (pre-charging) time, or T Ras+ t RpIn addition, on non-concealed renewal example, no matter be to read or store, all be to carry out at once.
Then, see also the example of concealed renewal.When asynchronous access requires (ACCESSREQUEST) is conversion (transition) via address 10 when sending, and then one innerly upgrades operation and is armed state.Shown in the affirmation (assertion) of REFRESH WL 14, upgrade operation and carry out immediately.Therefore, under the affirmation of WL (AD2), the execution of external access (access execute) will postpone t Ras+ t RpAccess time.In the differential responses of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DARM), be easy to cause the problem of wherein indeterminate (undefiniteness) for the address order that is compatible to SRAM (SARM).In addition, for external device (ED), microprocessor for example also can't be predicted whether read in first circulation or second circulation effectively (valid) of data because of unpredictability.
Next, see also Fig. 2, it has disclosed another problem that use Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is used as SRAM (SARM) compatible substitute.The state of address deflection (skew) has taken place on this example.Particularly, address bus-bar (ADDRESS 34) at first converts address AD1 to.Then, after the very short time, ADDRESS 34 converts address AD3 again to.This state is referred to as the address deflection.In fact, access device just carries out transition and conversion between address AD0 and the last address AD3 before one.Yet, on the different time, may be owing to different length or the capacity coupled problems of circuit, indivedual address circuits are converted to new address state.In any case but Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) sees that initial address is converted to AD1, and it is interpreted as the beginning of access.Notice that fair to write bar line (write enable barline) be the state that is reading.Therefore, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is read as reading of AD1 with the requirement (FALSE REQUEST) of mistake and connects and reach (read access).As be shown in the illusory access (DUMMY ACCESS) of WL (AD1) 36, read and connect that to reach be to read in the circulation in first to carry out.When the final conversion of ADDRESS 34 betides address AD3, then produce one second access requirement (ACCESS REQUEST).As the access that is shown in WL (AD3) 40 carries out (access execute), and reading of AD3 is to read in the circulation in second to carry out.The example of ADDRESS SKEW has produced the virtual access of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), and this is just needing extra cycle length and cause unnecessary electric consumption.
Consult Fig. 3 again, it has disclosed the problem again that use Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is used as SRAM (SRAM) compatible substitute.Disclosed the example of virtual reading (DUMMY READ) among the figure.SRAM (SRAM) access specification (specification) can require an address setting-up time T before fair the writing of WE*line 54 on address circuit 50 AsBut Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is transferred to AD0 with 50 transition of address circuit and then is read as to start to read to connect from AD0 and reaches.This access is to reach for the mistake that is implemented as WL (AD0) 58 in first circulation reads to connect.The affirmation of WE*line 54 is read as secondary requirement, and then writes among the address AD0.This writes access is to carry out in second circulation of WL (AD0) 58.So the performance of memory body worsens once again because of unnecessary comprising (inclusion), current drain and reading of mistake (false).
Many prior arts have disclosed the Method and circuits of the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) compatible with SRAM (SRAM).The United States Patent (USP) U.S.6 that Leung has, 028,804 has disclosed one produces compatible Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) circuit of SRAM (SRAM).This circuit utilizes the access time to carry out the action that renewal replenishes.When the conflict of running between an external access and inner the renewal, external access is carried out then earlier to be upgraded, and therefore, external access does not postpone.The United States Patent (USP) U.S.5 of Alwais et al, 991,851 have disclosed a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) compatible with SRAM (SRAM) installs.Wherein, SRAM (SRAM) is intended for the fast cache reservoir (cache) of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) array.The United States Patent (USP) U.S.5 of Alwaisetal, 999,474 have disclosed a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) compatible with SRAM (SRAM) installs, and it uses the array of SRAM (SRAM) as a fast cache reservoir and a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM).
