KM4164B-15 DRAM 64K x1 Bit 150ns IC DIP-16

The KM4164B-15 is a 64Kx1-bit dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) integrated circuit. It stores data as electrical charge within a vast array of 65,536 individual memory cells, each based on a single transistor design. This NMOS (N-type Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) fabrication allows for high density and a compact chip layout. Data retention in these cells is temporary, necessitating a periodic refresh process every 2 milliseconds to maintain integrity, which can be managed through several dedicated refresh methods.

A key capability of this DRAM is its page mode operation, which significantly speeds up access to multiple bits within the same selected row. It uses a multiplexed address bus, where the same eight pins sequentially receive row and column addresses, controlled by the Row Address Strobe (RAS) and Column Address Strobe (CAS) signals. This efficient pin-out enables it to fit into a standard 16-pin DIP. The device supports versatile write cycles (early, late, and read-modify-write) and features a three-state output buffer controlled primarily by the CAS signal.

The KM4164B-15 is designed for straightforward integration into digital systems, operating from a single +5V power supply with TTL-compatible inputs and output. Its datasheet provides extensive guidance for reliable implementation, emphasizing the critical need for proper board layout to minimize signal skew and the essential use of decoupling capacitors to filter high-frequency noise and prevent data-corrupting voltage droops on the power supply lines.
