MSM5412222B256K X 12-bit Field Memory

The OKI MSM5412222B is a high performance 3-Mbit, 256K x 12-bit, Field Memory. It is especially designed for high-speed serial access applications such as HDTVs, conventional NTSC TVs VTRs, digital movies and Multi-media systems. MSM5412222B is a FRAM for wide or low end use in general commodity TVs and VTRs exclusively. MSM5412222B is not designed for the other use or high end use in medical systems, professional graphics systems which require long term picture storage, data storage systems and others. More than two MSM5412222Bs CAN be cascaded directly without any delay devices among the MSM5412222Bs. (Cascading of MSM5412222B provides larger storage depth or a longer delay). Each of the 12-bit planes has separate serial write and read ports. These employ independent control Clocks to support asynchronous read and write operations. Different Clock rates are also supported that allow alternate data rates between write and read data streams. The MSM5412222B provides high speed FIFO First-In First-Out, operation without external refreshing: MSM5412222B refreshes its DRAM storage cells automatically, so that it appears fully static to the users. Moreover, fully static type memory cells and decoders for serial access enable the refresh free serial access operation, so that serial read and/or write control Clock CAN be halted high or low for any duration as long as the power is on. Internal conflicts of memory access and refreshing operations are prevented by special arbitration Logic The MSM5412222B 's function is simple, and similar to a digital delay device whose delay-bit-length is easily set by reset Timing The delay length, number of read delay Clocks between write and read, is determined by externally controlled write and read reset Timings Additional SRAM serial Registers or line Buffers for the initial access of 256 x 12-bit enable high speed first-bit-access with no Clock delay just after the write or read reset Timings Additionally, the MSM5412222B has write mask function or input enable function (IE), and read-data skipping function or output enable function (OE) . The differences between write enable (WE) and input enable (IE), and between read enable (RE) and output enable (OE) are that WE and RE CAN stop serial write/read address increments, but IE and OE cannot stop the increment, when write/read clocking is continuously applied to MSM5412222B. The input enable (IE) function allows the user to write into selected locations of the memory only, leaving the rest of the memory contents unchanged. This facilitates data processing to Display a "picture in picture" on a TV screen. The MSM5412222B is similar in operation and functionality to OKI 1-Mbit Field Memory MSM514222C and 2-Mbit Field Memory MSM518222A. Three MSM514222Cs or one MSM514222C plus one MSM518222A CAN be replaced simply by one MSM5412222B.
