*All AC parameters are measured from half to half.
Note : 1. Parameters depend on programmed CAS latency.
2. If clock rising time is longer than 1ns, (tr/2-0.5) ns should be added to the parameter.
3. Assumed input rise and fall time (tr & tf) = 1ns.
If tr & tf is longer than 1ns, transient time compensation should be considered,
i.e., [(tr + tf)/2-1]ns should be added to the parameter.

2. MRS can be issued only at both banks precharge state.
A new command can be issued after 2 clock cycle of MRS.
3. Auto refresh functions as same as CBR refresh of DRAM.
The automatical precharge without Row precharge command is meant by “Auto”.
Auto/Self refresh can be issued only at both precharge state.
4. BS0, BS1 : Bank select address.
If both BS1 and BS0 are “Low” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank A is selected.
If both BS1 is “Low” and BS0 is “High” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank B is selected.
If both BS1 is “High” and BS0 is “Low” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank C is selected.
If both BS1 and BS0 are “High” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank D is selected.
If A10/AP is “High” at row precharge, BS1 and BS0 is ignored and all banks are selected.
5. During burst read or write with auto precharge, new read write command cannot be issued.
Another bank read write command can be issued at every burst length.
6. DQM sampled at positive going edge of a CLK masks the data-in at the very CLK (Write DQM latency is 0) but
masks the data-out Hi-Z state after 2 CLK cycles. (Read DQM latency is 2)

Device Operations
the command decoder so that RAS , CAS and WE , and
all the address inputs are ignored.
Clock (CLK)
Power-Up
The clock input is used as the reference for all SDRAM
operations. All operations are synchronized to the positive
going edge of the clock. The clock transitions must be
monotonic between VIL and VIH. During operation with CKE
high all inputs are assumed to be in valid state (low or high)
for the duration of set up and hold time around positive
edge of the clock for proper functionality and ICC
specifications.
The following sequence is recommended for POWER UP
1. Power must be applied to either CKE and DQM inputs to
pull them high and other pins are NOP condition at the
inputs before or along with VDD (and VDDQ) supply.
The clock signal must also be asserted at the same time.
2. After VDD reaches the desired voltage, a minimum
pause of 200 microseconds is required with inputs in
NOP condition.
3. Both banks must be precharged now.
4. Perform a minimum of 2 Auto refresh cycles to stabilize
the internal circuitry.
5. Perform a MODE REGISTER SET cycle to program the
CAS latency, burst length and burst type as the default
value of mode register is undefined.
At the end of one clock cycle from the mode register set
cycle, the device is ready for operation.
When the above sequence is used for Power-up, all the
out-puts will be in high impedance state. The high
impedance of outputs is not guaranteed in any other
power-up sequence.
cf.) Sequence of 4 & 5 may be changed.
Clock Enable (CLK)
The clock enable (CKE) gates the clock onto SDRAM. If
CKE goes low synchronously with clock (set-up and hold
time same as other inputs), the internal clock is suspended
form the next clock cycle and the state of output and burst
address is frozen as long as the CKE remains low. All other
inputs are ignored from the next clock cycle after CKE goes
low. When both banks are in the idle state and CKE goes
low synchronously with clock, the SDRAM enters the power
down mode form the next clock cycle. The SDRAM
remains in the power down mode ignoring the other inputs
as long as CKE remains low. The power down exit is
synchronous as the internal clock is suspended. When
CKE goes high at least “tSS + 1 CLOCK” before the high
going edge of the clock, then the SDRAM becomes active
from the same clock edge accepting all the input
commands.
Mode Register Set (MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the
various operation modes of SDRAM. It programs the CAS
latency, addressing mode, burst length, test mode and
various vendor specific options to make SDRAM useful for
variety of different applications. The default value of the
mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register
must be written after power up to operate the SDRAM. The
mode register is written by asserting low on CS , RAS ,
Bank Select (BS0, BS1)
This SDRAM is organized as 4 independent banks of
1,048,576 words X 16 bits memory arrays. The BS0, BS1
inputs is latched at the time of assertion of RAS and CAS
to select the bank to be used for the operation. The bank
select BS0, BS1 is latched at bank activate, read, write
mode register set and precharge operations.
CAS , WE (The SDRAM should be in active mode with
CKE already high prior to writing the mode register). The
state of address pins A0~A11, BS0 and BS1 in the same
cycle as CS , RAS , CAS , WE going low is the data
written in the mode register. One clock cycle is required to
complete the write in the mode register. The mode register
contents can be changed using the same command and
clock cycle requirements during operation as long as both
banks are in the idle state. The mode register is divided
into various fields depending on functionality. The burst
length field uses A0~A2, burst type uses A3, addressing
mode uses A4~A6, A7~A8, A11, BS0 and BS1 are used for
vendor specific options or test mode. And the write burst
length is programmed using A9. A7~A8, A11, BS0 and BS1
must be set to low for normal SDRAM operation.
Refer to table for specific codes for various burst length,
addressing modes and CAS latencies.
Address Input (A0 ~ A11)
The 20 address bits required to decode the 262,144 word
locations are multiplexed into 12 address input pins
(A0~A11). The 12 bit row address is latched along with
RAS , BS0 and BS1 during bank activate command. The 8
bit column address is latched along with CAS , WE , BS0
and BS1during read or write command.
NOP and Device Deselect
When RAS , CAS and WE are high, the SDRAM
performs no operation (NOP). NOP does not initiate any
new operation, but is needed to complete operations which
require more than single clock like bank activate, burst
read, auto refresh, etc. The device deselect is also a NOP
and is entered by asserting CS high. CS high disables

Device Operations (continued)
Bank Activate
Burst Write
The bank activate command is used to select a random
row in an idle bank. By asserting low on RAS and
CS with desired row and bank addresses, a row access is
initiated. The read or write operation can occur after a time
delay of tRCD(min) from the time of bank activation.
tRCD(min) is an internal timing parameter of SDRAM,
therefore it is dependent on operating clock frequency. The
minimum number of clock cycles required between bank
activate and read or write command should be calculated
by dividing tRCD(min) with cycle time of the clock and then
rounding off the result to the next higher integer. The
SDRAM has two internal banks on the same chip and
shares part of the internal circuitry to reduce chip area,
therefore it restricts the activation of both banks
immediately. Also the noise generated during sensing of
each bank of SDRAM is high requiring some time for
power supplies recover before the other bank can be
sensed reliably. tRRD(min) specifies the minimum time
required between activating different banks. The number of
clock cycles required between different bank activation
must be calculated similar to tRCD specification. The
minimum time required for the bank to be active to initiate
sensing and restoring the complete row of dynamic cells is
determined by tRAS(min) specification before a precharge
command to that active bank can be asserted. The
maximum time any bank can be in the active state is
determined by tRAS(max). The number of cycles for both
tRAS(min) and tRAS(max) can be calculated similar to tRCD
specification.
The burst write command is similar to burst read
command, and is used to write data into the SDRAM
consecutive clock cycles in adjacent addresses depending
on burst length and burst sequence. By asserting low on
CS , CAS and WE with valid column address, a write
burst is initiated. The data inputs are provided for the initial
address in the same clock cycle as the burst write
command. The input buffer is deselected at the end of the
burst length, even though the internal writing may not have
been completed yet. The writing can not complete to burst
length. The burst write can be terminated by issuing a burst
read and DQM for blocking data inputs or burst write in the
same or the other active bank. The burst stop command is
valid only at full page burst length where the writing
continues at the end of burst and the burst is wrap around.
The write burst can also be terminated by using DQM for
blocking data and precharging the bank “tRDL” after the last
data input to be written into the active row. See DQM
OPERATION also.
Burst Read
The burst read command is used to access burst of data
on consecutive clock cycles from an active row in an active
bank. The burst read command is issued by asserting low
on CS and CAS with WE being high on the positive
edge of the clock. The bank must be active for at least
tRCD(min) before the burst read command is issued. The
first output appears CAS latency number of clock cycles
after the issue of burst read command. The burst length,
burst sequence and latency from the burst read command
is determined by the mode register which is already
programmed. The burst read can be initiated on any
column address of the active row. The address wraps
around if the initial address does not start from a boundary
such that number of outputs from each I/O are equal to the
burst length programmed in the mode register. The output
goes into high-impedance at the end of the burst, unless a
new burst read was initiated to keep the data output
gapless. The burst read can be terminated by issuing
another burst read or burst write in the same bank or the
other active bank or a precharge command to the same
bank. The burst stop command is valid at every page burst
length.
PRELIMINARY
(November, 2004, Version 0.0)
DQM Operation
The DQM is used to mask input and output operation. It
works similar to OE during read operation and inhibits
writing during write operation. The read latency is two
cycles from DQM and zero cycle for write, which means
DQM masking occurs two cycles later in the read cycle and
occurs in the same cycle during write cycle. DQM
operation is synchronous with the clock, therefore the
masking occurs for a complete cycle. The DQM signal is
important during burst interrupts of write with read or
precharge in the SDRAM. Due to asynchronous nature of
the internal write, the DQM operation is critical to avoid
unwanted or incomplete writes when the complete burst
write is not required.
Precharge
The precharge operation is performed on an active bank by
asserting low on CS , RAS , WE and A10/AP with valid
BA of the bank to be precharged. The precharge command
can be asserted anytime after tRAS(min) is satisfied from
the bank activate command in the desired bank. “tRP” is
defined as the minimum time required to precharge a bank.
The minimum number of clock cycles required to complete
row precharge is calculated by dividing “tRP” with clock
cycle time and rounding up to the next higher integer. Care
should be taken to make sure that burst write is completed
or DQM is used to inhibit writing before precharge
command is asserted. The maximum time any bank can be
active is specified by tRAS(max). Therefore, each bank has
to be precharged within tRAS(max) from the bank activate
command. At the end of precharge, the bank enters the
idle state and is ready to be activated again.
Entry to Power Down, Auto refresh, Self refresh and Mode
register Set etc, is possible only when both banks are in
idle state.

Device Operations (continued)
Auto Precharge
The precharge operation can also be performed by using
auto precharge. The SDRAM internally generates the
timing to satisfy tRAS(min) and “tRP” for the programmed
burst length and CAS latency. The auto precharge
command is issued at the same time as burst read or burst
write by asserting high on A10/AP. If burst read or burst
write command is issued with low on A10/AP, the bank is
left active until a new command is asserted. Once auto
precharge command is given, no new commands are
possible to that particular bank until the bank achieves idle
state.
Four Banks Precharge
Both banks can be precharged at the same time by using
Precharge all command. Asserting low on CS , RAS and
WE with high on A10/AP after both banks have satisfied
tRAS(min) requirement, performs precharge on both banks.
At the end of tRP after performing precharge all, both
banks are in idle state.
Auto Refresh
The storage cells of SDRAM need to be refreshed every
64ms to maintain data. An auto refresh cycle accomplishes
refresh of a single row of storage cells. The internal
counter increments automatically on every auto refresh
cycle to refresh all the rows. An auto refresh command is
issued by asserting low on CS , RAS and CAS with high
on CKE and WE . The auto refresh command can only be
asserted with both banks being in idle state and the device
is not in power down mode (CKE is high in the previous
cycle). The time required to complete the auto refresh
PRELIMINARY
(November, 2004, Version 0.0)
operation is specified by “tRC(min)”. The minimum number
of clock cycles required can be calculated by driving “tRC”
with clock cycle time and then rounding up to the next
higher integer. The auto refresh command must be
followed by NOP’s until the auto refresh operation is
completed. Both banks will be in the idle state at the end of
auto refresh operation. The auto refresh is the preferred
refresh mode when the SDRAM is being used for normal
data transactions. The auto refresh cycle can be performed
once in 15.6us or a burst of 4096 auto refresh cycles once
in 64ms.
Self Refresh
The self refresh is another refresh mode available in the
SDRAM. The self refresh is the preferred refresh mode for
data retention and low power operation of SDRAM. In self
refresh mode, the SDRAM disables the internal clock and
all the input buffers except CKE. The refresh addressing
and timing is internally generated to reduce power
consumption.
The self refresh mode is entered from all banks idle state
by asserting low on CS , RAS , CAS and CKE with high
on WE . Once the self refresh mode is entered, only CKE
state being low matters, all the other inputs including clock
are ignored to remain in the self refresh.
The self refresh is exited by restarting the external clock
and then asserting high on CKE. This must be followed by
NOP’s for a minimum time of “tRC” before the SDRAM
reaches idle state to begin normal operation. If the system
uses burst auto refresh during normal operation, it is
recommended to used burst 4096 auto refresh cycles
immediately after exiting self refresh.

2. About the valid DQ’s after burst stop, it is same as the case of RAS interrupt.
Both cases are illustrated above timing diagram. See the label 1,2 on them.
But at burst write, burst stop and RAS interrupt should be compared carefully.
Refer the timing diagram of “Full page write burst stop cycle”.
3. Burst stop is valid at every burst length.

2. Data-in at the cycle of interrupted by precharge cannot be written into the corresponding memory cell.
It is defined by AC parameter of tRDL(=2CLK).
DQM at write interrupted by precharge command is needed to prevent invalid write.
DQM should mask invalid input data on precharge command cycle when asserting precharge before end of burst.
Input data after Row precharge cycle will be masked internally.
3. Burst stop is valid at every burst length.
