The iRAM: an innovative approach to microprocessor memory solutions
Pages 487 - 496
Abstract
When designing the local read/write memory for a microprocessor system, several specific needs should be addressed. These needs include flexibility, ease of use, and low cost. The iRAM, a new product, effectively addresses all of these needs. The iRAM is a complete memory system that combines a high-density 8K X 8 DRAM array with complete memory and refresh control on a single chip. The iRAM combines the advantages of both the DRAM and SRAM, making it the ideal choice for microprocessor memory. The iRAM's concept and features will be discussed as well as its use in local memory systems for both 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors.
