FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The L7C108 and L7C109 are high-
performance, low-power CMOS static
RAMs. The storage circuitry is organ-
ized as 131,072 words by 8 bits per
word. The 8 Data In and Data Out
signals share I/O pins. The L7C108 has
a single active-low Chip Enable. The
L7C109 has two Chip Enables (one
active-low). These devices are available
inthree speeds with maximum access
times from 10 ns to 15 ns.
consume only 1.5 mW (typical), at 3 V,
allowing effective battery backup
operation.

Select Powerdown, Output Enable
q Auto-Powerdown™ Design
q Advanced CMOS Technology
q High Speed — to 10 ns maximum
q Low Power Operation
Active: 570 mW typical at 15 ns
Standby: 5 mW typical
The L7C108 and L7C109 provide
asynchronous (unclocked) operation
with matching access and cycle times.
The Chip Enables and a three-state I/O
bus with a separate Output Enable
control simplify the connection of
several chips for increased storage
capacity.
q Data Retention at 2 V for Battery
Backup Operation
q DSCC SMD No. 5962-89598
Inputs and outputs are TTL compat-
ible. Operation is from a single +5 V
power supply. Power consumption
is 930 mW (typical) at 10 ns. Dissipa-
tion drops to 50 mW (typical) when
the memory is deselected.
q Available 100% Screened to
Memory locations are specified on
address pins A0 through A16. For the
L7C108, reading from a designated
location is accomplished by presenting
an address and driving CE1 and OE
LOW while WE remains HIGH. For
the L7C109, CE1 and OE must be
LOW while CE2 and WE are HIGH.
The data in the addressed memory
location will then appear on the Data
Out pins within one access time. The
output pins stay in a high-impedance
state when CE1 or OE is HIGH, or CE2
(L7C109) or WE is LOW.
MIL-STD-883, Class B

q Package Styles Available:
• 32-pin Sidebraze, Hermetic DIP
• 32-pin Plastic SOJ
Two standby modes are available.
Proprietary Auto-Powerdown™
circuitry reduces power consumption
automatically during read or write
accesses which are longer than the
minimum access time, or when the
memory is deselected. In addition,
data may be retained in inactive
storage with a supply voltage as low
as 2 V. The L7C108 and L7C109
• 32-pin Ceramic LCC
• 32-pin Ceramic SOJ
Writing to an addressed location is
accomplished when the active-low
CE1 and WE inputs are both LOW,
and CE2 (L7C109) is HIGH. Any of
these signals may be used to terminate
the write operation. Data In and Data
Out signals have the same polarity.
L7C108/109 BLOCK DIAGRAM
Latchup and static discharge protection
are provided on-chip. The L7C108 and
L7C109 can withstand an injection
current of up to 200 mA on any pin
without damage.
