2716
ERASURE CHARACTERISTICS
The
erasure characteristics
of
the
2716
are such
that
erasure
begins
to
occur
when exposed
to
light with wavelengths
shorter
than
approximately
4000
Angstroms (A). It should
be
noted
that
sunlight and certain "types
of
fluorescent
lamps have wavelengths
in
the
3000-4000A
range. Data
show
that
constant
exposure
to
room level fluorescent
lighting
could erase
the
typical
2716
in
approximately
3
years, while it would
take
approximatley
1 week
to
cause
erasure when exposed
to
direct sunlight. If
the
2716
is
to
be exposed
to
these types
of
lighting
conditions
for ex·
tended
periods
of
time,
opaque
labels are available from
Intel which should be placed over
the
2716
window
to
prevent unintentional erasure.
The recommended erasure procedure (see Data Catalog
PROM/ROM
Programming Instruction Section)
for
the
2716
is
exposure
to
shortwave ultraviolet light which has
a wavelength
of
2537
Angstroms (A). The integrated dose
(i.e.,
UV
intensity X exposure time) for erasure should be
a minimum
of
15
W-sec/cm
2
. The erasure time with this
dosage
is
approxirnatdy
i 5
to
20
minutes using an uitra-
violet lamp with a
12000
pW/cm
2
power rating. The
2716
should
be placed within 1 inch
of
the
lamp tubes during
erasure. Some
lamps have a filter
on
their tubes which
should
be removed before erasure.
DEVICE OPERATION
The
five modes
of
operation
of
the
2716
are listed
in
Table
I. It should be
noted
that
all
inputs
for
thefive modes are
at
TTL
levels.
The
power supplies required are a +5V V
cc
and
a
Vpp. The Vpp power supply
must
be
at
25V
during
the
three
programming modes,
and
must
be
at
5V in
the
other
two
modes.

READ MODE
The
2716
has
two
control functions,
both
of
which
must
be
logically satisfied
in
order
to
obtain
data
at
the
outputs.
Chip Enable (CE)
is
the
power
control
and
should
be used
for
device selection. OUtput Enable (OE)
is
the
output
control
and should be used
to
gate data
to
the
output
pins,
independent
of
device selection. Assuming
that
addresses are stable, address access
time
(tACC)
is
equal
to
the
delay from CE
to
output
(tCE). Data
is
available
at
the
outputs
120
ns
(tOE)
after
the
falling edge
of
OE,
assuming
that
CE has been low
and
addresses have been
stable for
at
least
tACC
- tOE,
STANDBY MODE
The
2716
has a
standby
mode
which reduces
the
active
power
dissipation by 75%, from
525
mW
to
132
mW.
The
2716
is
placed
in
the
standby
mode
by applying a
TTL
high
signal
to
the
CE input. When in
standby
mode,
the
outputs
are
in
a high impedence state,
independent
of
the
DE input.
OUTPUT OR-TIEING
Because
2716's
are usually used in larger
memory
arrays,
Intel
has provided a 2 line control
function
that
accomo-
dates this use
of
multiple memory
connections.
The
two
line
control
function
allows for:
8-16
a)
the
lowest possible
memory
power dissipation,
and
b)
complete
assurance
that
output
bus
contention
will
not
occur.
To
most
efficiently use these
two
control
lines,
it
is
recom-
mended
that
CE (pin 18) be decoded
and
used as
the
primary device selecting function, while OE (pin 20) be
made a
common
connection
to
all
devices
in
the
array
and
connected
to
the
READ line from
the
system
control
bus.
This assures
that
all
deselected
memory
devices are in
their
low
power
standby
mode
and
that
the
output
pins are
only
active when data
is
desired from a particular
memory
device.
PROGRAMMING
Initia;Jy, cmu oTter each erasure, aii
bits
of
the
2/10
are
in
the
"1"
state. Data
is
introduced
by selectively program-
ming
"O's"
into
the
desired
bit
locations.
Although
only
"O's"
will be programmed,
both
"l's"
and
"O's"
can
be
presented
in
the
data word.
The
only way
to
change a
"0"
to
a
"1"
is
by ultraviolet light erasure.
The
2716
is
in
the
programming mode when
the
Vpp
power
supply
is
at
25V
and
OE
is
at
V IH. The
data
to
be pro-
grammed
is
applied 8 bits
in
parallel
to
the
data
output
pins. The levels required for
the
address
and
data
inputs
are
TTl.
When
the
address and
data
are stable, a
50
msec, active
high,
TTL
program pulse
is
applied
to
the
CE/PGM
input.
A program pulse
must
be applied
at
each address
location
to
be programmed. You can program any location
at
any
time
-
either
individually, sequentially,
or
at
random.
The
program pulse has a
maximum
width
of
55
msec.
The
2716
must
not
be programmed with a
DC
signal applied
to
the
CE/PGM
input.
Programming
of
multiple 2716s
in
parallel
with
the
same
data
can be easily accomplished due
to
the
simplicity
of
the
programming requirements.
like
inputs
of
the
paral-
leled
2716s may be
connected
together
when
they
are pro-
grammed
with
the
same data. A high level
TTL
pulse
applied
to
the
CE/PGM
input
programs
the
paralleled
2716s.
PROGRAM INHIBIT
Programming
of
multiple 2716s
in
parallel with
different
data
is
also easily accomplished. Except
for
CE/PGM, all
like inputs (including OE)
of
the
parallel 2716s
may
be
common.
A
TTL
level program pulse applied
to
a
2716's
CE/PGM
input
with Vpp
at
25V will program
that
2716.
A low level CE/PGM
input
inhibits
the
other
2716
from
being programmed.
PROGRAM
VERIFY
A verify
should
be
performed
on
the
programmed bits
to
determine
that
they
were
correctly
programmed.
The
verify
may be
performed
wth
V
pp
at
25V.
Except
during
pro-
gramming
and
program verify, Vpp
must
be
at
5V.
