A 0.1/spl mu/m 1.8V 256Mb 66MHz Synchronous Burst PRAM

A 256Mb PRAM featuring synchronous burst read operation is developed. Using a charge-pump system, write performance is characterized at 1.8V supply. Measured initial read access time and burst-read access time are 62ns and 10ns, respectively. The maximum write throughput is 3.3MB/S
