Power-up and Initialization

stabilized to a value within the range of recommended operating conditions. After this 100 ms

stabilization interval, the following initialization sequence must be performed.

Because the read and write address counters are not valid after power-up, a minimum of 80

dummy write operations (SWCK cycles) and read operations (SRCK cycles) must be performed,

followed by an RSTW operation and an RSTR operation, to properly initialize the write and the

read address pointer. Dummy write cycles/RSTW and dummy read cycles/RSTR may occur

simultaneously.

stabilized, it is necessary to perform an RSTR operation plus a minimum of 80 SRCK cycles plus

another RSTR operation, and an RSTW operation plus a minimum of 80 SRCK cycles plus

another RSTW operation to properly initialize read and write address pointers.

Old/New Data Access

There must be a minimum delay of 600 SWCK cycles between writing into memory and reading

out from memory. If reading from the first field starts with an RSTR operation, before the start

of writing the second field (before the next RSTW operation), then the data just written will be

read out.

The start of reading out the first field of data may be delayed past the beginning of writing in the

second field of data for as many as 70 SWCK cycles. If the RSTR operation for the first field read-

out occurs less than 70 SWCK cycles after the RSTW operation for the second field write-in, then

the internal buffering of the device assures that the first field will still be read out. The first field

of data that is read out while the second field of data is written is called “old data”.

In order to read out “new data”, i.e., the second field written in, the delay between an RSTW

operation and an RSTR operation must be at least 600 SRCK cycles. If the delay between RSTW

and RSTR operations is more than 71 but less than 600 cycles, then the data read out will be

undetermined. It may be “old data” or “new” data, or a combination of old and new data. Such

a timing should be avoided.

Cascade Operation

The MSM5412222 is designed to allow easy cascading of multiple memory devices. This provides

higher storage depth, or a longer delay than can be achieved with only one memory device.
