本标准的目的是提供生成半导体存储器数据表的指南。遵循这些指南，应编制简明的数据表，并一致定义半导体存储设备的操作和特性。不打算对已有的数据表进行专门修订，以符合该格式。然而，首次为新产品生成的数据表应遵守本标准。 作为标准的一部分，给出了存储设备的术语。该术语包括定义电气参数的格式和定时参数的两种替代格式。第一种定时参数格式使用FROM-TO概念来明确定义指定复杂内存设备所需的大多数定时参数。另一种形式使用功能描述方法。还建议使用统一的pin命名术语表。

The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines under which data sheets for semiconductor memories are to be generated. Adherence to these guidelines should produce data sheets that are concise and that consistently define the operation and characteristics of semiconductor memory devices. It is not intended that data sheets already in existence be revised specifically to conform to this format. However, data sheets being generated for the first time for new products should adhere to this standard. As part of the standard, a nomenclature for memory devices is presented. This nomenclature includes a format for defining electrical parameters and two alternative formats for timing parameters. The first timing parameter format uses a FROM-TO concept for explicitly defining most timing parameters that are needed to specify complex memory devices. The alternate form utilizes a functional description approach. Recommendations are also made for a uniform pin naming glossary of terms.
