The HM-6516 is a CMOS 2048 x 8 Static Random Access
Memory. Extremely low power operation is achieved by the
use of complementary MOS design techniques. This low
power is further enhanced by the use of synchronous circuit
techniques that keep the active (operating) power low, which
also gives fast access times. The pinout of the HM-6516 is
the popular 24 pin, 8-bit wide JEDEC standard, which allows
easy memory board layouts, flexible enough to accommodate
a variety of PROMs, RAMS, EPROMs, and ROMs.
The HM-6516 is ideally suited for use in microprocessor
based systems. The byte wide organization simplifies the
memory array design, and keeps operating power down to a
minimum, because only one device is enabled at a time. The
address latches allow very simple interfacing to recent generation
microprocessors which employ a multiplexed
address/data bus. The convenient output enable control also
simplifies multiplexed bus interfacing by allowing the data
outputs to be controlled independent of the chip enable.
