6116SA20DB

Memory technology is the core of modern electronic products, and 6116SA20DB is the most common one. It contains a large number of stored information and instructions, so it is widely used in many products.

The 6116SA20DB is a DRAM chip consisting of a single-chip 16K x 1 bit memory. It operates up to a speed rating of 120ns, and uses a low power operating current of 600μA max. 6116SA20DB has a single-clock extended refresh operation and quick refresh operation, and can be automatically refreshed during the stop period of the processor. It is a widely used product in the chip field.

1. Application Field

6116SA20DB is main used in many products, such as automotive infotainment systems, telecoms and communications, handheld audio and video players, GPS navigation systems, digital home appliances, and mid-range PC motherboards, etc. With its wide applications, it can be used for display, communications, data and memory applications.

When it comes to automotive infotainment systems, the 6116SA20DB provides faster random access memory (RAM) so that faster system response time can be realized. This is an important factor that has been regarded as fundamental to success of the infotainment system in this application. In telecoms, the 6116SA20DB ensures maximum throughput on fibre network with improved system performance for high-speed transmission applications. It can also reduce battery power consumption in handheld audio, video players and other applications, which results in improved portability.

2. Working Principle

The 6116SA20DB consists of a DRAM memory array, sense amplifiers, column address buffers, row address buffers, and a write driver. The DRAM memory array is made up of 16K x 1-bit cells. Each cell stores one bit of information and is constructed from a capacitor and a transistor. The capacitor is the active element that stores the bit of information, and the transistor is the means by which the cell can be accessed to read or write data.

During write operation, data is written to the bits via the write driver, and during read operation, the data is read out via the sense amplifiers. The sense amplifiers are required to detect the weak electrical signals coming out of the DRAM bit cells. The column address buffer and row address buffer are used to provide the addresses of the memory locations in the DRAM array.

3. Conclusion

The 6116SA20DB is a commonly used DRAM chip, and has a wide application field. It contains a single-chip 16K x 1 bit memory, with a fast speed rating and low power operating current. It can be used for display, communications, data and memory applications and has been widely used in products such as automotive infotainment systems, telecoms and communications and handheld audio, video players.
