The only way that 16 address bits can be forced into eight address pins is
in two 8-bit increments
This operation requires two special pins :
(i) The column address strobe ( CAS )
(ii)The row address strobe ( RAS )
First, A 0 A 7 are placed on the address pins and strobed into an internal
row latch by RAS as the row address.
Next, the address bits A 8 -A 15 are placed on the same eight address
inputs and strobed into an internal column latch by CAS as the column
address
Note that CAS also performs the function of the chip selection input to the
DRAM.
