A 64K DRAM with 35 ns static column operation

A 64K dynamic RAM with a function mode similar to static memory operation is described. The device has multiplexed address inputs and a one-address strobe clock (RAS). After a row address is applied to the device, column selection is performed as in static memory, resulting in fast cycle time and simplicity of use. Column address access time and cycle times of 35 ns are achieved. The device has some other functions to reduce critical timings. Address transition detector circuits are used for column selection. An improved column decoder is provided to allow column address input skew. The device uses NMOS single transistor memory cells and is packaged in a standard 300-mil 16-pin DIP.
