3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The K524G2GACB is a Multi Chip Package Memory which combines 4Gbit NAND Flash Memory an 2Gbit DDR synchronous high data rate
Dynamic RAM.
NAND cell provides the most cost-effective solution for the solid state application market. A program operation can be performed in typical
250µs on the (1K+32)Word page and an erase operation can be performed in typical 2ms on a (64K+2K)Word block. Data in the data register
can be read out at 42ns cycle time per Word. The I/O pins serve as the ports for address and data input/output as well as command input. The
on-chip write controller automates all program and erase functions including pulse repetition, where required, and internal verification and
margining of data. Even the write-intensive systems can take advantage of the device′s extended reliability of 100K program/erase cycles by
providing ECC(Error Correcting Code) with real time mapping-out algorithm. The device is an optimum solution for large nonvolatile storage
applications such as solid state file storage and other portable applications requiring non-volatility.
In 2Gbit Mobile DDR, Synchronous design make a device controlled precisely with the use of system clock. Range of operating frequencies,
programmable burst length and programmable latencies allow the same device to be useful for a variety of high bandwidth, high performance
memory system applications.
The K524G2GACB is suitable for use in data memory of mobile communication system to reduce not only mount area but also power consumption. This device is available in 137-ball FBGA Type.

MCP MEMORY
1.0 Product Introduction
NAND Flash Memory has addresses multiplexed into 8 I/Os(x16 device case : lower 8 I/Os). This scheme dramatically reduces pin counts and
allows system upgrades to future densities by maintaining consistency in system board design. Command, address and data are all written
through I/O's by bringing WE to low while CE is low. Those are latched on the rising edge of WE. Command Latch Enable(CLE) and Address
Latch Enable(ALE) are used to multiplex command and address respectively, via the I/O pins. Some commands require one bus cycle. For
example, Reset Command, Status Read Command, etc require just one cycle bus. Some other commands, like page read and block erase
and page program, require two cycles: one cycle for setup and the other cycle for execution. Page Read and Page Program need the same
five address cycles following the required command input. In Block Erase operation, however, only the three row address cycles are used.
Device operations are selected by writing specific commands into the command register. Table 3 defines the specific commands of the
KF94GxxQ2W/KF88GxxQ2W.
In addition to the enhanced architecture and interface, the device incorporates copy-back program feature from one page to another page
without need for transporting the data to and from the external buffer memory. Since the time-consuming serial access and data-input cycles
are removed, system performance for solid-state disk application is significantly increased.

2.0 NAND Flash Technical Notes
2.1 Initial Invalid Block(s)
Initial invalid blocks are defined as blocks that contain one or more initial invalid bits whose reliability is not guaranteed by Samsung. The information regarding the initial invalid block(s) is called the initial invalid block information. Devices with initial invalid block(s) have the same quality level as devices with all valid blocks and have the same AC and DC characteristics. An initial invalid block(s) does not affect the
performance of valid block(s) because it is isolated from the bit line and the common source line by a select transistor. The system design
must be able to mask out the initial invalid block(s) via address mapping. The 1st block, which is placed on 00h block address, is guaranteed
to be a valid block up to 1K program/erase cycles with x8:1bit/ 512Byte, x16:1bit/256Word ECC.
2.2 Identifying Initial Invalid Block(s)
All device locations are erased(FFh) except locations where the initial invalid block(s) information is written prior to shipping. The initial invalid
block(s) status is defined by the 1st byte(1st word) in the spare area. Samsung makes sure that either the 1st or 2nd page of every initial
invalid block has non-FFh data at the column address of 2048(x16:1024). Since the initial invalid block information is also erasable in most
cases, it is impossible to recover the information once it has been erased. Therefore, the system must be able to recognize the initial invalid
block(s) based on the original initial invalid block information and create the initial invalid block table via the following suggested flow chart(Figure 5). Any intentional erasure of the original initial invalid block information is prohibited.
Start
Set Block Address = 0
Increment Block Address
Create (or update)
Initial
Invalid Block(s) Table
*
No
Check "FFh(x16:FFFFh)" at the
column address 2048(x16:1024)
of the 1st and 2nd page in the block
Check
"FFh(x16:FFFFh)"
Yes

2.3 Error in write or read operation
Within its life time, additional invalid blocks may develop with NAND Flash memory. Refer to the qualification report for the actual data. Block
replacement should be done upon erase or program error.

Note) A repetitive page read operation on the same block without erase may cause bit errors, which could be accumulated over time and
exceed the coverage of ECC. Software scheme such as caching into RAM is recommended.

2.4 Addressing for program operation
Within a block, the pages must be programmed consecutively from the LSB(least significant bit) page of the block to the MSB(most significant
bit) pages of the block. Random page address programming is prohibited. In this case, the definition of LSB page is the LSB among the pages
to be programmed. Therefore, LSB doesn't need to be page 0.

2.5 System Interface Using CE don’t-care.
For an easier system interface, CE may be inactive during the data-loading or serial access as shown below. The internal
2,112byte(1,056Word) data registers are utilized as separate buffers for this operation and the system design gets more flexible. In addition,
for voice or audio applications which use slow cycle time on the order of µ-seconds, de-activating CE during the data-loading and serial
access would provide significant savings in power consumption.

4.0 Device Operation
4.1 PAGE READ
Page read is initiated by writing 00h-30h to the command register along with five address cycles. After initial power up, 00h command is
latched. Therefore only five address cycles and 30h command initiates that operation after initial power up. The 2,112 bytes(1,056 Wrods) of
data within the selected page are transferred to the data registers in 40µs(tR) typically. The system controller can detect the completion of this
data transfer(tR) by analyzing the output of R/B pin. Once the data in a page is loaded into the data registers, they may be read out in 42ns
cycle time by sequentially pulsing RE. The repetitive high to low transitions of the RE clock make the device output the data starting from the
selected column address up to the last column address.
The device may output random data in a page instead of the consecutive sequential data by writing random data output command. The column address of next data, which is going to be out, may be changed to the address which follows random data output command. Random
data output can be operated multiple times regardless of how many times it is done in a page.

4.2 PAGE PROGRAM
The device is programmed basically on a page basis, but it does allow multiple partial page programming of a byte(a word) or consecutive
byte up to 2,112 bytes(1,056 Wrods), in a single page program cycle. The number of consecutive partial page programming operation within
the same page without an intervening erase operation must not exceed 4 times for a single page. The addressing should be done in sequential order in a block. A page program cycle consists of a serial data loading period in which up to 2,112 bytes(1,056 Wrods) of data may be
loaded into the data register, followed by a non-volatile programming period where the loaded data is programmed into the appropriate cell.
The serial data loading period begins by inputting the Serial Data Input command(80h), followed by the five cycle address inputs and then
serial data loading. The bytes(words) other than those to be programmed do not need to be loaded. The device supports random data input in
a page. The column address for the next data, which will be entered, may be changed to the address which follows random data input command(85h). Random data input may be operated multiple times regardless of how many times it is done in a page.
The Page Program confirm command(10h) initiates the programming process. Writing 10h alone without previously entering the serial data
will not initiate the programming process. The internal write state controller automatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for
program and verify, thereby freeing the system controller for other tasks. Once the program process starts, the Read Status Register command may be entered to read the status register. The system controller can detect the completion of a program cycle by monitoring the R/B
output, or the Status bit(I/O 6) of the Status Register. Only the Read Status command and Reset command are valid while programming is in
progress. When the Page Program is complete, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be checked(Figure 9). The internal write verify detects only
errors for "1"s that are not successfully programmed to "0"s. The command register remains in Read Status command mode until another
valid command is written to the command register.

4.3 COPY-BACK PROGRAM
Copy-Back program with Read for Copy-Back is configured to quickly and efficiently rewrite data stored in one page without data re-loading
when the bit error is not in data stored. Since the time-consuming re-loading cycles are removed, the system performance is improved. The
benefit is especially obvious when a portion of a block is updated and the rest of the block also needs to be copied to the newly assigned free
block. Copy-Back operation is a sequential execution of Read for Copy-Back and of copy-back program with the destination page address. A
read operation with "35h" command and the address of the source page moves the whole 2,112 bytes(1,056 Wrods) data into the internal data
buffer. A bit error is checked by sequential reading the data output. In the case where there is no bit error, the data do not need to be reloaded.
Therefore Copy-Back program operation is initiated by issuing Page-Copy Data-Input command (85h) with destination page address. Actual
programming operation begins after Program Confirm command (10h) is issued. Once the program process starts, the Read Status Register
command (70h) may be entered to read the status register. The system controller can detect the completion of a program cycle by monitoring
the R/B output, or the Status bit(I/O 6) of the Status Register. When the Copy-Back Program is complete, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be
checked(Figure 11 & Figure 12). The command register remains in Read Status command mode until another valid command is written to the
command register.
During copy-back program, data modification is possible using random data input command (85h) as shown in Figure 12.

4.4 BLOCK ERASE
The Erase operation is done on a block basis. Block address loading is accomplished in three cycles initiated by an Erase Setup command(60h). Only Block address is valid while page address is ignored. The Erase Confirm command(D0h) following the block address loading
initiates the internal erasing process. This two-step sequence of setup followed by execution command ensures that memory contents are not
accidentally erased due to external noise conditions.
At the rising edge of WE after the erase confirm command input, the internal write controller handles erase and erase-verify. When the erase
operation is completed, the Write Status Bit(I/O 0) may be checked. Figure 13 details the sequence.

4.5 READ STATUS
The device contains a Status Register which may be read to find out whether program or erase operation is completed, and whether the program or erase operation is completed successfully. After writing 70h command to the command register, a read cycle outputs the content of
the Status Register to the I/O pins on the falling edge of CE or RE, whichever occurs last. This two line control allows the system to poll the
progress of each device in multiple memory connections even when R/B pins are common-wired. RE or CE does not need to be toggled for
updated status. Refer to Table 4 for specific Status Register definitions. The command register remains in Status Read mode until further commands are issued to it. Therefore, if the status register is read during a random read cycle, the read command(00h) should be given before
starting read cycles.

4.6 Read ID
The device contains a product identification mode, initiated by writing 90h to the command register, followed by an address input of 00h. Five
read cycles sequentially output the manufacturer code(ECh), and the device code and 3rd, 4th, 5th cycle ID respectively. The command register remains in Read ID mode until further commands are issued to it. Figure 14 shows the operation sequence.

4.7 RESET
The device offers a reset feature, executed by writing FFh to the command register. When the device is in Busy state during random read, program or erase mode, the reset operation will abort these operations. The contents of memory cells being altered are no longer valid, as the
data will be partially programmed or erased. The command register is cleared to wait for the next command, and the Status Register is cleared
to value C0h when WP is high. If the device is already in reset state a new reset command will be accepted by the command register. The R/
B pin changes to low for tRST after the Reset command is written. Refer to Figure 15 below.

4.8 READY/BUSY
The device has a R/B output that provides a hardware method of indicating the completion of a page program, erase and random read completion. The R/B pin is normally high but transitions to low after program or erase command is written to the command register or random read
is started after address loading. It returns to high when the internal controller has finished the operation. The pin is an open-drain driver
thereby allowing two or more R/B outputs to be Or-tied. Because pull-up resistor value is related to tr(R/B) and current drain during
busy(ibusy) , an appropriate value can be obtained with the following reference chart(Fig.17). Its value can be determined by the following

5.0 DATA PROTECTION & POWER UP SEQUENCE
The device is designed to offer protection from any involuntary program/erase during power-transitions. An internal voltage detector disables
all functions whenever Vcc is below about 1.1V. WP pin provides hardware protection and is recommended to be kept at VIL during power-up
and power-down. A recovery time of minimum 1ms is required before internal circuit gets ready for any command sequences as shown in Figure 17. The two step command sequence for program/erase provides additional software protection.

2. Mode Register Definition
2.1 Mode Register Set(MRS)
The mode register is designed to support the various operating modes of Mobile DDR SDRAM. It includes Cas latency, addressing mode,
burst length, test mode and vendor specific options to make Mobile DDR SDRAM useful for variety of applications. The mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS and WE(The Mobile DDR SDRAM should be in active mode with CKE already high prior to writing into
the mode register). The states of address pins A0 ~ A13 and BA0, BA1 in the same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS and WE going low are written in
the mode register. Two clock cycles are required to complete the write operation in the mode register. Even if the power-up sequence is finished and some read or write operation is executed afterward, the mode register contents can be changed with the same command and two
clock cycles. This command must be issued only when all banks are in the idle state. The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. The burst length uses A0 ~ A2, addressing mode uses A3, Cas latency(read latency from column address) uses A4 ~ A6,
A7 ~ A13 is used for test mode. BA0 and BA1 must be set to low for proper MRS operation.

2.2 Extended Mode Register Set(EMRS)
The extended mode register is designed to support for the desired operating modes of DDR SDRAM. The extended mode register is written
by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS, WE and high on BA1 ,low on BA0(The Mobile DDR SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE
already high prior to writing into the extended mode register). The state of address pins A0 ~ A13 in the same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS and
WE going low is written in the extended mode register. Two clock cycles are required to complete the write operation in the extended mode
register. Even if the power-up sequence is finished and some read or write operations is executed afterward, the mode register contents can
be changed with the same command and two clock cycles. But this command must be issued only when all banks are in the idle state. A0 - A2
are used for partial array self refresh and A5 - A7 are used for driver strength control. "High" on BA1 and"Low" on BA0 are used for EMRS.
All the other address pins except A0,A1,A2,A5,A6, BA1, BA0 must be set to low for proper EMRS operation. Refer to the table for specific
codes.

2.3 Internal Temperature Compensated Self Refresh (TCSR)
1. In order to save power consumption, this Mobile DRAM includes the internal temperature sensor and control units to control the self refreshcycle automatically according to the real device temperature.
2. TCSR ranges for IDD6 shown in the table are as an example only. Max IDD6 valus for 45°C, 85°C are guaranteed. Typical values for 85 °C,
70 °C, 45 °C and 15 °C are obtained from device characterization.
3. If the EMRS for external TCSR is issued by the controller, this EMRS code for TCSR is ignored.

NOTE :
1) tCK(max) value is measured at 100ns.
2) The only time that the clock Frequency is allowed to be changed is during clock stop, power-down, self-refresh modes.
3) In case of below 33MHz (tCK=30ns) condition, SEC could support tDAL(=2*tCK).
tDAL =(tWR/tCK) + (tRP/tCK)
4) tAC(min) value is measured at the high Vdd(1.95V) and cold temperature(-25°C).
tAC(max) value is measured at the low Vdd(1.7V) and hot temperature(85°C).
tAC is measured in the device with half driver strength and under the AC output load condition (Fig.6 in next Page).
5) The specific requirement is that DQS be valid(High or Low) on or before this CK edge. The case shown(DQS going from High_Z to logic Low) applies when no
writes were previously in progress on the bus. If a previous write was in progress, DQS could be High at this time, depending on tDQSS.

This derating table is used to increase tDS/tDH in the case where the DQ and DQS slew rates differ. The Delta Rise/Fall Rate is calculated as 1/SlewRate1-1/
SlewRate2. For example, if slew rate 1 = 1.0V/ns and slew rate 2 =0.8V/ns, then the Delta Rise/Fall Rate =-0.25ns/V.
7) Input slew rate 1.0 V/ ns.
8) Input slew rate 0.5V/ns and < 1.0V/ns.

- Test load for Half Driver Strength Buffer (10pF)
Figure 6. AC Output Load Circuit 1), 2)
NOTE :
1) The circuit shown above represents the timing reference load used in defining the relevant timing parameters of the part. It is not intended to be either a precise
representation of the typical system environment nor a depiction of the actual load presented by a production tester. System designers will used IBIS or other simulations tools to correlate the timing reference load to system environment. Manufacturers will correlate to their poduction test conditions (generally a coaxial transmission line terminated at the tester electronics). For the half strength driver with a nominal 10pF load parameters tAC and tQH are expected to be in ther same
range. However, these parameters are not subject to production test but are estimated by design / characterization. Use of IBIS or other simulation tolls for system
design validation is suggested.
2) Based on nominal impedance at 0.5 x VDDQ.
The impedence for Half(1/2) Driver Strength is designed 55ohm. And for other Driver Strength, it is designed proportionally.

2) EMRS/ MRS can be issued only at all banks precharge state.
A new command can be issued 2 clock cycles after EMRS or MRS.
3) Auto refresh functions are same as the CBR refresh of DRAM.
The automatical precharge without row precharge command is meant by "Auto".
Auto/self refresh can be issued only at all banks precharge state.
4) BA0 ~ BA1 : Bank select addresses.
5) If A10/AP is "High" at row precharge, BA0 and BA1 are ignored and all banks are selected.
6) During burst write with auto precharge, new read/write command can not be issued.
Another bank read/write command can be issued after the end of burst.
New row active of the associated bank can be issued at tRP after the end of burst.
7) Burst stop command is valid at every burst length.
8) DM sampled at the rising and falling edges of the DQS and Data-in are masked at the both edges (Write DM latency is 0).
9) This combination is not defined for any function, which means "No Operation(NOP)" in Mobile DDR SDRAM.

1. Precharge
The precharge command is used to precharge or close a bank that has been activated. The precharge command is issued when CS, RAS and
WE are low and CAS is high at the rising edge of the clock. The precharge command can be used to precharge each bank respectively or all
banks simultaneously. The bank select addresses(BA0, BA1) are used to define which bank is precharged when the command is initiated.
For write cycle, tWR(min.) must be satisfied until the precharge command can be issued. After tRP from the precharge, an active command to
the same bank can be initiated.

2. No Operation(NOP) & Device Deselect
The device should be deselected by deactivating the CS signal. In this mode, Mobile DDR SDRAM should ignore all the control inputs. The
Mobile DDR SDRAM is put in NOP mode when CS is activated and RAS, CAS and WE are deactivated. Both Device Deselect and NOP command can not affect operation already in progress. So even if the device is deselected or NOP command is issued under operation, the operation will be completed.

K524G2GACB-A050
MCP MEMORY
3. Row Active
The Bank Activation command is issued by holding CAS and WE high with CS and RAS low at the rising edge of the clock(CK). The Mobile
DDR SDRAM has four independent banks, so two Bank Select addresses(BA0, BA1) are required. The Bank Activation command must be
applied before any Read or Write operation is executed. The delay from the Bank Activation command to the first read or write command must
meet or exceed the minimum of RAS to CAS delay time, tRCD(min). Once a bank has been activated, it must be precharged before another
Bank Activation command can be applied to the same bank. The minimum time interval between interleaved Bank Activation commands(Bank
A to Bank B and vice versa) is the Bank to Bank delay time, tRRD(min).
Any system or application incorporating random access memory products should be properly designed, tested and qulifided to ensure proper
use or access of such memory products. Disproportionate, excessive and/or repeated access to a particular address or addresses may result
in reduction of product life.

4. Read Bank
This command is used after the row activate command to initiate the burst read of data. The read command is initiated by activating RAS, CS,
CAS, and WE at the same clock sampling(rising) edge as described in the command truth table. The length of the burst and the CAS latency
time will be determined by the values programmed during the MRS cycle.
5. Write Bank
This command is used after the row activate command to initiate the burst write of data. The write command is initiated by activating RAS, CS,
CAS, and WE at the same clock sampling(rising) edge as described in the command truth table. The length of the burst will be determined by
the values programmed during the MRS cycle.

6. Burst Read Operation
Burst Read operation in Mobile DDR SDRAM is in the same manner as the Mobile SDR SDRAM such that the Burst read command is issued
by asserting CS and CAS low while holding RAS and WE high at the rising edge of the clock(CK) after tRCD from the bank activation. The
address inputs determine the starting address for the Burst. The Mode Register sets type of burst(Sequential or interleave) and burst length(2,
4, 8, 16). The first output data is available with a CAS Latency from the READ command, and the consecutive data are presented on the falling and rising edge of Data Strobe(DQS) adopted by Mobile DDR SDRAM until the burst length is completed.

7. Burst Write Operation
The Burst Write command is issued by having CS, CAS, and WE low while holding RAS high at the rising edge of the clock(CK). The address
inputs determine the starting column address. There is no write latency relative to DQS required for burst write cycle. The first data of a burst
write cycle must be applied on the DQ pins tDS(Data-in setup time) prior to data strobe edge enabled after tDQSS from the rising edge of the
clock(CK) that the write command is issued. The remaining data inputs must be supplied on each subsequent falling and rising edge of Data
Strobe until the burst length is completed. When the burst has been finished, any additional data supplied to the DQ pins will be ignored.

8. Read Interrupted by a Read
A Burst Read can be interrupted by new Read command of any bank before completion of the burst. When the previous burst is interrupted,
the new address with the full burst length override the remaining address. The data from the first Read command continues to appear on the
outputs until the CAS latency from the interrupting Read command is satisfied. At this point, the data from the interrupting Read command
appears. Read to Read interval is minimum 1 Clock.

The following functionality establishes how a Write command may interrupt a burst Read.
1. For Write commands interrupting a burst Read, a Burst Terminate command is required to stop the burst read and tri-state the DQ bus prior
to valid input write data. Burst stop command must be applied at least 2 clock cycles for CL=2 and at least 3 clock cycles for CL=3 before the
Write command.
2. It is illegal for a Write command to interrupt a Read with autoprecharge command.

10. Read Interrupted by a Precharge
A Burst Read operation can be interrupted by precharge of the same bank. The minimum 1 clock is required for the read to precharge intervals. The latency from a precharge command to invalid output is equivalent to the CAS latency.

NOTE :
1) Burst Length=8, CAS Latency=3
When a burst Read command is issued to a Mobile DDR SDRAM, a Precharge command may be issued to the same bank before the Read
burst is completed. The following functionality determines when a Precharge command may be given during a Read burst and when a new
Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank.
1. For the earliest possible Precharge command without interrupting a burst Read, the Precharge command may be given on the rising clock
edge which is CL clock cycles before the end of the Read burst where CL is the CAS Latency. A new Bank Activate command may be issued
to the same bank after tRP (Row Precharge time).
2. When a Precharge command interrupts a burst Read operation, the Precharge command given on a rising clock edge terminates the burst
with the last valid data word presented on DQ pins at CL-1(CL=CAS Latency) clock cycles after the command has been issued. Once the
last data word has been output, the output buffers are tri-stated. A new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tRP.
3. For a Read with Autoprecharge command, a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tRP from rising clock that
comes CL(CL=CAS Latency) clock cycles before the end of the Read burst. During Read with autoprecharge, the initiation of the internal
precharge occurs at the same time as the earliest possible external Precharge command would initiate a precharge operation without
interrupting the Read burst as described in 1 above.
4. For all cases above, tRP is an analog delay that needs to be converted into clock cycles. The number of clock cycles between a Precharge
command and a new Bank Activate command to the same bank equals tRP/tCK (where tCK is the clock cycle time) with the result rounded
up to the nearest integer number of clock cycles. (Note that rounding to X.5 is not possible since the Precharge and Bank Activate
commands can only be given on a rising clock edge).In all cases, a Precharge operation cannot be initiated unless tRAS(min) [minimum
Bank Activate to Precharge time] has been satisfied. This includes Read with autoprecharge commands where tRAS(min) must still be
satisfied such that a Read with autoprecharge command has the same timing as a Read command followed by the earliest possible
Precharge command which does not interrupt the burst.

11. Write Interrupted by a Write
A Burst Write can be interrupted by a new Write command before completion of the burst, where the interval between the successive Write
commands must be at least one clock cycle(tCCD(min)). When the previous burst is interrupted, the remaining addresses are overridden by
the new address and data will be written into the device until the programmed burst length is satisfied.

12. Write Interrupted by a Precharge & DM
A burst write operation can be interrupted by a precharge of the same bank before completion of the burst. Random column access is allowed.
A write recovery time(tWR) is required from the last data to precharge command. When precharge command is asserted, any residual data
from the burst write cycle must be masked by DM.

NOTE :
1) Burst Length=8
Precharge timing for Write operations in Mobile DDR SDRAM requires enough time to allow ’’write recovery’’ which is the time required by a
Mobile DDR SDRAM core to properly store a full ’’0’’ or ’’1’’ level before a Precharge operation. For Mobile DDR SDRAM, a timing parameter,
tWR, is used to indicate the required amount of time between the last valid write operation and a Precharge command to the same bank.
The precharge timing for writes is a complex definition since the write data is sampled by the data strobe and the address is sampled by the
input clock. Inside the Mobile DDR SDRAM, the data path is eventually synchronized with the address path by switching clock domains from
the data strobe clock domain to the input clock domain. This makes the definition of when a precharge operation can be initiated after a write
very complex since the write recovery parameter must make reference to only the clock domain that affects internal write operation, i.e., the
input clock domain.
tWR starts on the rising clock edge after the last possible DQS edge that strobed in the last valid data and ends on the rising clock edge that
strobes in the precharge command.
1. For the earliest possible Precharge command following a burst Write without interrupting the burst, the minimum time for write recovery is
defined by tWR.
2. When a precharge command interrupts a Write burst operation, the data mask pin, DM, is used to mask input data during the time between
the last valid write data and the rising clock edge on which the Precharge command is given. During this time, the DQS input is still
required to strobe in the state of DM. The minimum time for write recovery is defined by tWR.
3. For a Write with autoprecharge command, a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tWR+tRP where tWR+tRP
starts on the falling DQS edge that strobed in the last valid data and ends on the rising clock edge that strobes in the Bank Activate
command. During write with autoprecharge, the initiation of the internal precharge occurs at the same time as the earliest possible
external Precharge command without interrupting the Write burst as described in 1 above.
4. In all cases, a Precharge operation cannot be initiated unless tRAS(min) [minimum Bank Activate to Precharge time] has been satisfied.
This includes Write with autoprecharge commands where tRAS(min) must still be satisfied such that a Write with autoprecharge
command has the same timing as a Write command followed by the earliest possible Precharge command which does not interrupt the
burst.

13. Write Interrupted by a Read & DM
A burst write can be interrupted by a read command of any bank. The DQ’s must be in the high impedance state at least one clock cycle
before the interrupting read data appear on the outputs to avoid data contention. When the read command is registered, any residual data
from the burst write cycle must be masked by DM. The delay from the last data to read command (tCDLR) is required to avoid the data contention Mobile DDR SDRAM inside. Data that are presented on the DQ pins before the read command is initiated will actually be written to the
memory. Read command interrupting write can not be issued at the next clock edge of that of write command.

NOTE :
1) Burst Length=8, CAS Latency=3
The following function established how a Read command may interrupt a Write burst and which input data is not written into the memory.
1. For Read commands interrupting a burst Write, the minimum Write to Read command delay is 2 clock cycles. The case where the Write to
Read delay is 1 clock cycle is disallowed.
2. For Read commands interrupting a burst Write, the DM pin must be used to mask the input data words whcich immediately precede the
interrupting Read operation and the input data word which immediately follows the interrupting Read operation
3. For all cases of a Read interrupting a Write, the DQ and DQS buses must be released by the driving chip (i.e., the memory controller) in
time to allow the buses to turn around before the Mobile DDR SDRAM drives them during a read operation.
4. If input Write data is masked by the Read command, the DQS input is ignored by the Mobile DDR SDRAM.
5. Refer to Burst write operation.

14. Burst Stop
The burst stop command is initiated by having RAS and CAS high with CS and WE low at the rising edge of the clock(CK). The burst stop
command has the fewest restrictions making it the easiest method to use when terminating a burst read operation before it has been completed. When the burst stop command is issued during a burst read cycle, the pair of data and DQS(Data Strobe) go to a high impedance state
after a delay which is equal to the CAS latency set in the mode register. However, the burst stop command is not supported during a burst
write operation.

The Burst Stop command is a mandatory feature for Mobile DDR SDRAM. The following functionality is required:
1. The Burst Stop command may only be issued on the rising edge of the input clock, CK.
2. Burst Stop is only a valid command during Read bursts.
3. Burst Stop during a Write burst is undefined and shall not be used.
4. Burst Stop applies to all burst lengths.
5. Burst Stop is an undefined command during Read with autoprecharge and shall not be used.
6. When terminating a burst Read command, the BST command must be issued LBST (“BST Latency”) clock cycles before the clock
edge at which the output buffers are tristated, where LBST equals the CAS latency for read operations.
7. When the burst terminates, the DQ and DQS pins are tristated.
The Burst Stop command is not byte controllable and applies to all bits in the DQ data word and the(all) DQS pin(s).

15. DM masking
The Mobile DDR SDRAM has a data mask function that can be used in conjunction with data write cycle, not read cycle. When the data mask
is activated(DM high) during write operation, Mobile DDR SDRAM does not accept the corresponding data.(DM to data-mask latency is zero).
DM must be issued at the rising or falling edge of data strobe.

16. Read With Auto Precharge
If A10/AP is high when read command is issued , the read with auto-precharge function is performed. If a read with auto-precharge command
is issued, the Mobile DDR SDRAM automatically enters the precharge operation BL/2 clock later from a read with auto-precharge command
when tRAS(min) is satisfied. If not, the start point of precharge operation will be delayed until tRAS(min) is satisfied. Once the precharge
operation has started, the bank cannot be reactivated and the new command can not be asserted until the precharge time(tRP) has been satisfied.

18. Auto Refresh & Self Refresh
18.1. Auto Refresh
An auto refresh command is issued by having CS, RAS and CAS held low with CKE and WE high at the rising edge of the clock(CK). All banks
must be precharged and idle for tRP(min) before the auto refresh command is applied. Once this cycle has been started, no control of the
external address pins are required because of the internal address counter. When the refresh cycle has completed, all banks will be in the idle
state. A delay between the auto refresh command and the next activate command or subsequent auto refresh command must be greater than
or equal to the tRFC(min).

18.2. Self Refresh
A Self Refresh command is defined by having CS, RAS, CAS and CKE held low with WE high at the rising edge of the clock. Once the self
Refresh command is initiated, CKE must be held low to keep the device in Self Refresh mode. After 1 clock cycle from the self refresh command, all of the external control signals including system clock(CK, CK) can be disabled except CKE. The clock is internally disabled during
Self Refresh operation to reduce power. Before returning CKE high to exit the Self Refresh mode, apply stable clock input signal with Deselect
or NOP command asserted.

19. Power down
The device enters power down mode when CKE Low,and it exits when CKE High. Once the power down mode is initiated, all of the receiver
circuits except CK and CKE are gated off to reduce power consumption. All banks should be in idle state prior to entering the precharge power
down mode and CKE should be set in high for at least tPDEX prior to Row active command. Refresh operations cannot be performed during
power down mode, therefore the device cannot remain in power down mode longer than the refresh period(tREF) of the device.

20. Clock Stop
Stopping a clock during idle periods is an effective method of reducing power consumption.
The LPDDR SDRAM supports clock stop under the following conditions :
- the last command (ACTIVE, READ, WRITE, PRECHARGE, AUTO REFRESH or MODE REGISTER SET) has executed to completion,
including any data-out during read bursts; the number of clock pulses per access command depends on the device’s AC timing parameters
and the clock requency;
- the related timing conditions(tRCD, tWR, tRP, tRFC, tMRD) has been met;
- CKE is held High
When all conditions have been met, the device is either in "idle state"or "row active state" and clock stop mode may be entered with CK held
Low and CK held Hight.
Clock stop mode is exited by restarting the clock. At least one NOP command has to be issued before the next access command any be
applied. Additional clock pulses might be required depending on the system characteristics.
Figure 17 shows clock stop mode entry and exit.
- Initially the device is in clock stop mode
- The clock is restarted with the rising edge of T0 and a NOP on the command inputs
- With T1 a valid access command is latched; this command is followed by NOP commands in order to allow for clock stop as soon as this
access command is completed.
- Tn is the last clock pulse required by the access command latched with T1
- The clock can be stopped after Tn.
