The GSI Technology 576Mb Low Latency DRAM 
(LLDRAM II) is a high speed memory device designed for
high address rate data processing typically found in networking
and telecommunications applications. The 8-bank architecture
and low tRC allows access rates formerly only found in
SRAMs.
Rev: 1.04 11/2013
The Double Data Rate (DDR) I/O interface provides high
bandwidth data transfers, clocking out two beats of data per
clock cycle at the I/O balls. Source-synchronous clocking can
be implemented on the host device with the provided freerunning data output clock.
Commands, addresses, and control signals are single data rate
signals clocked in by the True differential input clock
transition, while input data is clocked in on both crossings of
the input data clock(s).
Read and Write data transfers always in short bursts. The burst
length is programmable to 2, 4 or 8 by setting the Mode
Register.
The device is supplied with 2.5 V VEXT and 1.8 V VDD for the
core, and 1.5 V or 1.8 V for the HSTL output drivers.
Internally generated row addresses facilitate bank-scheduled
refresh.
The device is delivered in an efficent BGA 144-ball package.

Description
A0–A21
Input
Address Inputs—A0–A21 define the row and column addresses for Read and Write Operations. During
a Mode Register Set (MRS), the address inputs define the register settings. They are sampled at the
rising edge of CK.
BA0–B2
Input
Bank Address inputs—Select to which internal bank a command is being applied.
CK, CK
Input
Input Clock—CK and CK are differential input clocks. Addresses and commands are latched on the
rising edge of CK. CK is ideally 180º out of phase with CK.
CS
Input
Chip Select—CS enables the command decoder when Low and disables it when High. When the
command decoder is disabled, new commands are ignored, but internal operations continue.
DQ0–DQ35
Input
Data Input—The DQ signals form the 36-bit data bus. During Read commands, the data is referenced to
both edges of QKx. During Write commands, the data is sampled at both edges of DK.
DK, DK
Input
Input Data Clock—DK and DK are the differential input data clocks. All input data is referenced to both
edges of DK. DK is ideally 180º out of phase with DK. For the x36 device, DQ0– DQ17 are referenced to
DK0 and DK0 and DQ18–DQ35 are referenced to DK1 and DK1. For the x9 and x18 devices, all DQs
are referenced to DK and DK. All DKx and DKx pins must always be supplied to the device.
DM
Input
Input Data Mask—The DM signal is the input mask signal for Write data. Input data is masked when DM
is sampled High. DM is sampled on both edges of DK (DK1 for the x36 configuration). Tie signal to
ground if not used.
TCK
Input
IEEE 1149.1 clock input—This ball must be tied to VSS if the JTAG function is not used.
TMS, TDI

Operations
Initialization
A specific power-up and initialization sequence must be observed. Other sequences may result in undefined operations or
permanent damage to the device.
Power-up:
1. Apply power (VEXT, VDD, VDDQ, VREF, VTT) . Start clock after the supply voltages are stable. Apply VDD and VEXT before or
at the same time as VDDQ1. Apply VDDQ before or at the same time as VREF and VTT. The chip starts internal initlization
only after both voltages approach their nominal levels. CK/CK must meet VID(DC) prior to being applied2. Apply only
NOP commands to start. Ensuring CK/CK meet VID(DC) while loading NOP commands guarantees that the LLDRAM II
will not receive damaging commands during initialization.
2. Idle with continuing NOP commands for 200s (MIN).
3. Issue three or more consecutive MRS commands: two or more dummies plus one valid MRS. The consecutive MRS
commands will reset internal logic of the LLDRAM II. tMRSC does not need to be met between these consecutive
commands. Address pins should be held Low during the dummy MRS commands.
4. tMRSC after the valid MRS, issues an AUTO REFRESH command to all 8 banks in any order (along with 1024 NOP
commands) prior to normal operation. As always, tRC must be met between any AUTO REFRESH and any subsequent
valid command to the same bank.
Notes:
1. It is possible to apply VDDQ before VDD. However, when doing this, the DQs, DM, and all other pins with an output driver, will
go High instead of tri-stating. These pins will remain High until VDD is at the same level as VDDQ. Care should be taken to
avoid bus conflicts during this period.
2.
If VID(DC) on CK/CK can not be met prior to being applied to the LLDRAM II, placing a large external resistor from CS to VDD
is a viable option for ensuring the command bus does not receive unwanted commands during this unspecified state.

DLL Reset
Mode Register Bit 7 (M7) selects DLL Reset as is shown in the Mode Register Definition tables. The default setting for M7 is Low,
whereby the DLL is disabled. Once M7 is set High, 1024 cycles (5s at 200 MHz) are needed before a Read command can be
issued. The delay allows the internal clock to be synchronized with the external clock. Failing to wait for synchronization to occur
may result in a violation of the tCKQK parameter. A reset of the DLL is necessary if tCK or VDD is changed after the DLL has
already been enabled. To reset the DLL, set M7 is Low. After waiting tMRSC, an MRS command should be issued to set M7 High.
1024 clock cycles must pass before loading the next Read command.
Driver Impedance Mapping
The LLDRAM II is equipped with programmable impedance output buffers. Setting Mode Register Bit 8 (M8) High during the
MRS command activates the feature. Programmable impedance output buffers allow the user to match the driver impedance to the
PCB trace impedance. To adjust the impedance, an external resistor (RQ) is connected between the ZQ ball and VSS. The value of
the resistor must be five times the desired impedance (e.g., a 300 resistor produces an output impedance of 60). RQ values of
125–300 are supported, allowing an output impedance range of 25–60 (+/- 15 %).
The drive impedance of uncompensated output transistors can change over time due to changes in supply voltage and die
temperature. When drive impedance control is enabled in the MRS, the value of RQ is periodically sampled and any needed
impedance update is made automatically. Updates do not affect normal device operation or signal timing.
When Bit M8 is set Low during the MRS command, the output compensation circuits are still active but reference an internal
resistance reference. The internal reference is imprecise and subject to temperature and voltage variations so output buffers are set
to a nominal output impedance of 50, but are subject to a ±30 percent variance over the Commercial temperature range of the
device.

On–Die Termination (ODT)
Mode Register Bit 9 (M9) set to 1 during an MRS command enables ODT. With ODT on, the DQs and DM are terminated to VTT
with a resistance, RTT. Command, address, QVLD, and clock signals are not terminated. The diagram below shows the equivalent
circuit of a DQ receiver with ODT. When a tri-stated DQ begins to drive, the ODT function is briefly switched off. When a DQ
stops driving at the end of a data transfer, ODT is switched back on. Two-state DM pin never deactivates ODT.

Valid control commands are listed below. Any input commands not shown are illegal or reserved. All inputs must meet specified
setup and hold times around the true crossing of CK.
Description of Commands
Command
Description
Notes
DSEL/NOP
The NOP command is used to perform a no operation to the LLDRAM II, which essentially deselects the
chip. Use the NOP command to prevent unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait
states. Operations already in progress are not affected. Output values depend on command history.
1
MRS
The Mode Register is set via the address inputs A0–A17. See the Mode Register Definition diagrams for
further information. The MRS command can only be issued when all banks are idle and no bursts are in
progress.
—
READ
The Read command is used to initiate a burst read access to a bank. The value on the BA0–BA2 inputs
selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A0–An selects the data location within the bank.
2
WRITE
The Write command is used to initiate a burst write access to a bank. The value on the BA0–BA2 inputs
selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A0–An selects the data location within the bank.
Input data appearing on the DQ is written to the memory array subject to the DM input logic level
appearing coincident with the data. If the DM signal is registered Low, the corresponding data will be
written to memory. If the DM signal is registered High, the corresponding data inputs will be ignored (that
is, this part of the data word will not be written).
2
AREF
The AREF command is used during normal operation of the LLDRAM II to refresh the memory content
of a bank. The command is non-persistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The
value on the BA0–BA2 inputs selects the bank. The refresh address is generated by an internal refresh
controller, effectively making each address bit a “Don’t Care” during the AREF command.
See the Auto Refresh section for more details.
—
Notes:
1. When the chip is deselected, internal NOP commands are generated and no commands are accepted.
2. For the value of “n”, see Address Widths at Different Burst Lengths table.

Mode Register Set
Mode Register Set controls the operating modes of the memory, including configuration, burst length, test mode, and I/O options.
During an MRS command, the address inputs A0–A17 are sampled and stored in the Mode Register. Except during initialization to
force internal reset, after a valid MRS command, tMRSC must be met before any command except NOP can be issued to the
LLDRAM II. All banks must be idle and no bursts may be in progress when an MRS command is loaded.
Note: Changing the burst length configuration may scramble previously written data. A burst length change must be assumed to
invalidate all stored data.

Burst Length
Read and Write data transfers occur in bursts of 2, 4, or 8 beats. Burst Length is programmed by the user via Mode Register Bit 3
(M3) and Bit 4 (M4). The Read Burst Length diagrams illustrate the different burst lengths with respect to a Read Command.
Changes in the burst length affect the width of the address bus.
Note: Changing the burst length configuration may scramble previously written data. A burst length change must be assumed to
invalidate all stored data.

Write
Write data transfers are launched with a Write command, as shown below. A valid address must be provided during the Write
command.
During Write data transfers, each beat of incoming data is registered on crossings of DK and DK until the burst transfer is
complete. Write Latency (WL) that is always one cycle longer than the programmed Read Latency (RL), so the first valid data
registered at the first True crossing of the DK clocks WL cycles after the Write command.
A Write burst may be followed by a Read command (assuming tRC is met). At least one NOP command is required between Write
and Read commands to avoid data bus contention. The Write-to-Read timing diagrams illustrate the timing requirements for a
Write followed by a Read. Setup and hold times for incoming DQ relative to the DK edges are specified as tDS and tDH. Input
data may be masked a High on an associated DM pin. The setup and hold times for the DM signal are tDS and tDH.W

Read
Read data transfers are launched with a Read command, as shown below. Read Addresses must provided with the Read command.
Each beat of a Read data transfer is edge-aligned with the QKx signals. After a programmable Read Latency, data is available at the
outputs. One half clock cycle prior to valid data on the read bus, the data valid signal (QVLD) is driven High. QVLD is also edgealigned with the QKx signals. The QK clocks are free-running.
The skew between QK and the crossing point of CK is specified as tCKQK. tQKQ0 is the skew between QK0 and the last valid data
edge generated at the DQ signals associated with QK0 (tQKQ0 is referenced to DQ0–DQ17 for the x36 configuration and DQ0–DQ8
for the x18 configuration). tQKQ1 is the skew between QK1 and the last valid data edge generated at the DQ signals associated with
QK1 (tQKQ1 is referenced to DQ18–DQ35 for the x36 and DQ9–DQ17 for the x18 configuration). tQKQx is derived at each QKx
clock edge and is not cumulative over time. tQKQ is defined as the skew between either QK differential pair and any output data edge.
At the end of a burst transfer, assuming no other commands have been initiated, output data (DQ) will go High-Z. The QVLD signal
transitions Low on the beat of a Read burst. Note that if CK/CK violates the VID(DC) specification while a Read burst is occurring,
QVLD remains High until a dummy Read command is issued. Back-to-back Read commands are possible, producing a continuous
flow of output data.
The data valid window specification is referenced to QK transitions and is defined as: tQHP – (tQKQ [MAX] + |tQKQ [MIN]|). See the
Read Data Valid Window section for illustration.
Any Read transfer may be followed by a subsequent Write command. The Read-to-Write timing diagram illustrates the timing
requirements for a Read followed by a Write. Some systems having long line lengths or severe skews may need additional NOP cycles
inserted between Read and Write commands to prevent data bus contention.

Auto Refresh
The Auto Refresh (AREF) command launches a REFRESH cycle on one row in the bank addressed. Refresh row addresses are
generated by an internal refresh counter, so address inputs are Don’t Care, but a bank addresses (BA 2:0) must be provided during
the AREF command. A refresh may be contining in one bank while other commands, including other AREF commands, are
launched in other banks. The delay between the AREF command and a READ, WRITE or AREF command to the same bank must
be at least tRC.
The entire memory must be refreshed every 32 ms (tREF). This means that this 576Mb device requires 128K refresh cycles at an
average periodic interval of 0.24s MAX (actual periodic refresh interval is 32 ms/16K rows/8 = 0.244s). To improve efficiency,
eight AREF commands (one for each bank) can be launched at periodic intervals of 1.95s (32 ms/16K rows = 1.95s). The Auto
Refresh Cycle diagram illustrates an example of a refresh sequence.

Address Multiplexing
LLDRAM II defaults to “broadside” addressing at power up, meaning, it registers all address inputs on a single clock transition.
However, for most configurations of the device, considerable efficiency can be gained by operating in Address Multiplexed mode,
cutting the address pin count on the host device in half. In Multiplexed Address mode, the address is loaded in two consecutive
clock transitions. Broadside Addressing only improves Continuous Burst mode data transfer efficiency of Burst Length 2 (BL = 2)
configuration.
In Address Multiplex mode, bank addresses are loaded on the same clock transition as Command and the first half of the address,
Ax. The 576Mb Address Mapping in Multiplexed Address Mode table and Cycle Time and Read/Write Latency Configuration in
Mulitplexed Mode table show the addresses needed for both the first and second clock transitions (Ax and Ay, respectively). The
AREF command does not require an address on the second clock transition, as only the Bank Address are loaded for refresh
commands. Therefore, AREF commands may be issued on consecutive clocks, even when in Address Multiplex mode.
Setting Mode Register Bit 5 (M5) to 1 in the Mode Register activates the Multiplexed Address mode. Once this bit is set
subsequent MRS, READ, and WRITE operate as described in the Multiplexed Address Mode diagram.

MRS Command In Multiplexed Mode
The Mode Register Set command stores the data for controlling the RAM into the Mode Register. The register allows the user to
modify Read and Write pipeline length, burst length, test mode, and I/O options. The Multiplexed MRS command requires two
cycles to complete The Ax address is sampled on the true crossing of clock with the MRS Command. The Ay address and a
required NOP command are captured on the next next crossing of clock. After issuing a valid MRS command, tMRSC must be met
before any READ, WRITE, MRS, or AREF command can be issued to the LLDRAM II. This statement does not apply to the
consecutive MRS commands needed for internal logic reset during the initialization routine. The MRS command can only be
issued when all banks are idle and no bursts are in progress.
Note: The data written by the prior burst length is not guaranteed to be accurate when the burst length of the device is changed.

Notes:
1. Recommended that all address pins held Low during dummy MRS commands.
2. A10–A18 must be Low.
3. Set address A5 High. This enbles the part to enter Multiplexed Address mode when in Non-Multiplexed mode operation. Multiplexed
Address mode can also be entered at some later time by issuing an MRS command with A5 High. Once address Bit A5 is set High, tMRSC
must be satisfied before the two-cycle multiplexed mode MRS command is issued.
4. Address A5 must be set High. This and the following step set the desired mode register once the LLDRAM II is in Multiplexed Address
mode.
5. Any command or address.
6. The above sequence must be followed in order to power up the LLDRAM II in the Multiplexed Address mode.
7. DLL must be reset if tCK or VDD are changed.
8. CK and CK must separated at all times to prevent bogus commands from being issued.
9. The sequence of the eight AUTO REFRESH commands (with respect to the 1024 NOP commands) does not matter. As is required for any
operation, tRC must be met between an AUTO REFRESH command and a subsequent VALID command to the same bank.

Write Command in Multiplexed Mode
Address Multiplexed Write data transfers are launched with a Write command, as shown below. A valid address must be provided
during the Write command. The Ax address must be loaded on the same true clock crossing used to load the Write command and
the Bank address. The Ay address and a NOP command must be provided at the next clock crossing.
During Write data transfers, each beat of incoming data is registered on crossings of DK and DK until the burst transfer is
complete. Write Latency (WL) is always one cycle longer than the programmed Read Latency (RL).
A Write burst may be followed by a Read command (assuming tRC is met). At least one NOP command is required between Write
and Read commands to avoid data bus contention. The Write-to-Read timing diagrams illustrate the timing requirements for a
Write followed by a Read. Setup and hold times for incoming DQ relative to the DK edges are specified as tDS and tDH. Input data
may be masked high on an associated DM pin. The setup and hold times for the DM signal are tDS and tDH.

Read Command in Multiplexed Mode
Address Multiplexed Read data transfers are launched with a Read command, as shown below. A valid address must be provided
during the READ command. The Ax address must be loaded on the same True clock crossing used to load the READ command
and the Bank address. The Ay address and a NOP command must be provided at the next clock crossing.
Each beat of a Read data transfer is edge-aligned with the QKx signals. After a programmable Read Latency, data is available at
the outputs. One half clock cycle prior to valid data on the read bus, the data valid signal (QVLD) is driven High. QVLD is also
edge-aligned with the QKx signals. The QK clocks are free-running.
The skew between QK and the crossing point of CK is specified as tCKQK. tQKQ0 is the skew between QK0 and the last valid
data edge generated at the DQ signals associated with QK0 (tQKQ0 is referenced to DQ0–DQ17 for the x36 configuration and
DQ0–DQ8 for the x18 configuration). tQKQ1 is the skew between QK1 and the last valid data edge generated at the DQ signals
associated with QK1 (tQKQ1 is referenced to DQ18–DQ35 for the x36 and DQ9–DQ17 for the x18 configuration). tQKQx is
derived at each QKx clock edge and is not cumulative over time. tQKQ is defined as the skew between either QK differential pair
and any output data edge.
At the end of a burst transfer, assuming no other commands have been initiated, output data (DQ) will go High–Z. The QVLD
signal transitions Low on the beat of a Read burst. Note that if CK/CK violates the VID(DC) specification while a Read burst is
occurring, QVLD remains High until a dummy Read command is issued. Back-to-back Read commands are possible, producing a
continuous flow of output data.
The data valid window specification is referenced to QK transitions and is defined as: tQHP – (tQKQ [MAX] + |tQKQ [MIN]|). See
the Read Data Valid Window section.
Any Read transfer may be followed by a subsequent Write command. The Read-to-Write timing diagram illustrates the timing
requirements for a Read followed by a Write. Some systems having long line lengths or severe skews may need additional NOP
cycles inserted between Read and Write commands to prevent data bus contention.

Refresh Commands in Multiplexed Address Mode
The AREF command launches a REFRESH cycle on one row in the bank addressed. Refresh row addresses are generated by an
internal refresh counter. so address inputs are Don’t Care, but Bank addresses (BA 2:0) must be provided during the AREF
command. A refresh may be continuing in one bank while other commands, including other AREF commands, are launched in
other banks. The delay between the AREF command and a READ, WRITE or AREF command to the same bank must be at least
tRC.
The entire memory must be refreshed every 32 ms (tREF). This means that this 576Mb device requires 128K refresh cycles at an
average periodic interval of 0.24s MAX (actual periodic refresh interval is 32 ms/16K rows/8 = 0.244s). To improve efficiency,
eight AREF commands (one for each bank) can be launched at periodic intervals of 1.95s (32 ms/16K rows = 1.95s). The Auto
Refresh Cycle diagram illustrates an example of a refresh sequence.
Unlike READ and WRITE commands in Address Multiplex mode, all the information needed to execute an AREF command (the
AREF command and the Band Address (BA 2:0)) is loaded in a single clock crossing, another AREF command (to a different
bank) may be loaded on the next clock crossing.

2. Please refer to JEDEC standard JESD51-6.
3. The characteristics of the test fixture PCB influence reported thermal characteristics of the device. The minimal metalization of a 2-layer
board tends to minimize the utility of the junction-to-board heat path. The 4-layer test fixture PCB is intended to highlight the effect of
connection to power planes typically found in the PCBs used in most applications. Be advised that a good thermal path to the PCB can
result in cooling or heating of the RAM depending on PCB temperature.

2. Overshoot VIH(AC)  VDD+ 0.7 V for t  tCK/2. Undershoot: VIL(AC)  –0.5 V for t  tCK/2. During normal operation VDDQ must not exceed
VDD. Control input signals may not have pulse widthts less than tCK/2 or operate at frequencies exceeding tCK (MAX).
3. VDDQ can be set to a nominal 1.5 V ± 0.1 V or 1.8 V ± 0.1 V supply.
4. Typically the value of VREF is expected to be 0.5 * VDDQ of the transmitting device. VREF is expected to track variations in VDDQ.
5. Peak-to-Peak AC noise on VREF must not exceed ±2% of VREF(DC).
6. VREF is expected to equal VDDQ/2 of the transmitting device and to track variations in the DC level of the same. Peak-to-peak noise 
(non-common mode) on VREF may not exceed ±2% of the DC value. Thus, from VDDQ/2, VREF is allowed ±2% VDDQ/2 for DC error and an
addtional ±2% VDDQ/2 for AC noise. This measurement is to be taken at the nearest VREF bypass capacitor.
7. VTT is expected to be set equal to VREF and must track variations in the DC level of VREF.
8. On-die termination may be selected using Mode Register Bit 9 (M9). A resistance RTT from each data input signal to the nearest VTT can be
enabled. RTT = 125–185at 95° C TC.
9. IOH and IOL are defined as absolute values and are measured at VDDQ/2. IOH flows from the device, IOL flows into the device.
10. If Mode Register Bit 8 (M8) is 0, use RQ = 250in the equation in lieu of presence of an external impedance matched resistor.
11. For VOL and VOH, refer to the LLDRAM II IBIS models.

Input Slew Rate Derating
The Address and Command Setup and Hold Derating Values shown in the following table should be added to the default tAS/tCS/
tDS and tAH/tCH/tDH specifications when the slew rate of any of these input signals is less than the 2 V/ns.
To determine the setup and hold time needed for a given slew rate, add the tAS/tCS default specification to the “tAS/tCS VREF to
CK/CK Crossing” and the tAH/tCH default specification to the "tAH/tCH CK/CK Crossing to VREF" derated values in the Address
and Command Setup and Hold Derating Values table. The derated data setup and hold values can be determined the same way
using the “tDS VREF to CK/CK Crossing” and “tDH to CK/CK Crossing to VREF” values in the Data Setup and Hold Derating
Values table. The derating values apply to all speed grades.
The setup times in the table relate to a rising signal. The time from the rising signal crossing VIH(AC)MIN to the CK/CK cross point
is static and must be maintained across all slew rates. The derated setup timing describes the point at which the rising signal crosses
VREF(DC) to the CK/CK cross point. This derated value is calculated by determining the time needed to maintain the given slew
rate and the delta between VIH(AC)MIN and the CK/CK cross point. All these same values are also valid for falling signals (with
respect to VIL(AC)MAX and the CK/ CK cross point).
The hold times in the table relate to falling signals. The time from the CK/CK cross point to when the signal crosses VIH(DC) MIN is
static and must be maintained across all slew rates. The derated hold timing describes the delta between the CK/CK cross point to
when the falling signal crosses VREF(DC). This derated value is calculated by determining the time needed to maintain the given
slew rate and the delta between the CK/CK cross point and VIH(DC). The hold values are also valid for rising signals (with respect
to VIL(DC)MAX and the CK and CK cross point).
Note: The above descriptions also pertain to data setup and hold derating when CK/CK are replaced with DK/DK.

Definitions of IDD Conditions:
3a. Low is defined as VIN  VIL(AC) MAX.
3b. High is defined as VIN  VIH(AC) MIN.
3c. Stable is defined as inputs remaining at a High or Low level.
3d. Floating is defined as inputs at VREF = VDDQ/2.
3e. Continuous data is defined as half the DQ signals changng between High and Low every half clock cycle (twice per clock).
3f. Continuous address is defined as half the address signals changing between High and Low every clock cycles (once per clock).
3g. Sequential bank access is defined as the bank address incrementing by one every tRC.
3h. Cyclic bank access is defined as the bank address incrementing by one for each command access. For BL = 2 this is every clock, for BL = 4 this
is every other clock, and for BL = 8 this is every fourth clock.
CS is High unless a Read, Write, AREF, or MRS command is registered. CS never transitions more than once per clock cycle.
IDD parameters are specified with ODT disabled.
Tests for AC timing, IDD, and electrical AC and DC characteristics may be conducted at nominal reference/supply voltage levels, but the related
specifications and device operations are tested for the full voltage range specified.
IDD tests may use a VIL-to-VIH swing of up to 1.5 V in the test environment, but input timing is still referenced to VREF (or to the crossing point for CK/CK), and
parameter specifications are tested for the specified AC input levels under normal use conditions. The minimum slew rate for the input signals used to test
the device is 2 V/ns in the range between VIL(AC) andVIH(AC).

3.
Tests for AC timing IDD, and electrical AC and DC characteristics may be conducted at nominal reference/supply voltage levels, but the
related specifications and device operations are tested for the full voltage range specified.
4. AC timing may use a VIL– to–VIH swing of up to 1.5 V in the test environment, but input timing is still referenced to VREF (or to the crossing
point for CK/CK), and parameter specifications are tested for the specified AC input levels under normal use conditions. The minimum slew
rate for the input signals used to test the device is 2 V/ns in the rance between VIL(AC) and VIH(AC).
5. Clock phase jitter is the variance from clock rising edge to the next expected clock rising edge.
6. Frequency drift is not allowed.
7. tQKQ0 is referenced to DQ0–DQ17 for the x36 xconfiguration and DQ0–DQ8 for the x18 configuration. tQKQ1 is referenced to
DQ18–DQ35 for the x36 configuration and the DQ9–DQ17 for the x18 configuration.
8. tQKQ takes in to account the skew between any QKx and any Q.
9. tDVW (MIN) tQHP – (tQKQx [MAX] + |tQKQx [MIN]|)
10. To improve efficiency, eight AREF commands (one for each bank) can be posted to the LLDRAM II on consecutive cycles at periodic

with IEEE Standard 1149.1-2001 (JTAG). Because the ZQ pin is actually an analog output, to ensure proper boundary-scan testing
of the ZQ pin, Mode Register Bit 8 (M8) needs to be set to 0 until the JTAG testing of the pin is complete. Note that upon power
up, the default state of Mode Register Bit 8 (M8) is Low.
Whenever the JTAG port is used prior to the initialization of the LLDRAM II device, such as when initial conectivity testing is
conducted, it is critical that the CK and CK pins meet VID(DC) or that CS be held High from power-up until testing begins. Failure
to do so can result in inadvertent MRS commands being loaded and causing unexpected test results. Alternately a partial
initialization can be conducted that consists of simply loading a single MRS command with desired MRS Register settings. JTAG
testing may then begin as soon as tMRSC is satisfied. JTAG testing can be conducted after full initilization as well.
The input signals of the test access port (TDI, TMS, and TCK) are referenced to the VDD as a supply, while the output driver of the
TAP (TDO) is powered by VDDQ.
The JTAG test access port incorporates a standardTAP controller from which the Instruction Register, Boundary Scan Register,
Bypass Register, and ID Code Register can be selected. Each of these functions of the TAP controller are described below.
Disabling the JTAG Feature
Use of the JTAG port is never required for RAM operation. To disable the TAP controller, TCK must be tied Low (VSS) to prevent
clocking of the device. TDI and TMS are internally pulled up and may be unconnected or they can be connected to VDD directly or
through a pull-up resistor. TDO should be left unconnected. Upon power-up, the device will come up in a reset state, which will not
interfere with the operation of the device.
Test Access Port (TAP)
Test Clock (TCK)
The test clock is used only with the TAP controller. All inputs are captured on the rising edge of TCK. All outputs are driven from
the falling edge of TCK.
Test Mode Select (TMS)
The TMS input is used to give commands to the TAP controller and is sampled on the rising edge of TCK.
All of the states in the TAP Controller State Diagram are entered through the serial input of the TMS pin. A “0” in the diagram
represents a Low on the TMS pin during the rising edge of TCK while a “1” represents a High on TMS.
Test Data-In (TDI)
The TDI ball is used to serially input test instructions and data into the registers and can be connected to the input of any of the
registers. The register between TDI and TDO is chosen by the instruction that is loaded into the TAP instruction register. For
information on loading the instruction register, see the TAP Controller State Diagram. TDI is connected to the Most Significant Bit
(MSB) of any register (see the TAP Controller Block Diagram).
Test Data-Out (TDO)
The TDO output ball is used to serially clock test instructions and data out from the registers. The TDO output driver is only active
during the Shift-IR and Shift-DR TAP controller states. In all other states, the TDO pin is in a High-Z state. The output changes on
the falling edge of TCK. TDO is connected to the Least Significant Bit (LSB) of any register (see the TAP Controller Block
Diagram).
TAP Controller
The TAP controller is a finite state machine that uses the state of the TMS pin at the rising edge of TCK to navigate through its
various modes of operation. See the TAP Controller State Diagram. Each state is described in detail below.

Test-Logic-Reset
The test-logic-reset controller state is entered when TMS is held High for at least five consecutive rising edges of TCK. As long as
TMS remains High, the TAP controller will remain in the test-logic-reset state. The test logic is inactive during this state.
Run-Test/Idle
The run-test/idle is a controller state in between scan operations. This state can be maintained by holding TMS Low. From here
either the data register scan, or subsequently, the instruction register scan can be selected.
Select-DR-Scan
Select-DR-scan is a temporary controller state. All test data registers retain their previous state while here.
Capture-DR
The Capture-DR state is where the data is parallel-loaded into the test data registers. If the Boundary Scan Register is the currently
selected register, then the data currently on the pins is latched into the test data registers.
Shift-DR
Data is shifted serially through the data register while in this state. As new data is input through the TDI pin, data is shifted out of
the TDO pin.
Exit1-DR, Pause-DR, and Exit2-DR
The purpose of Exit1-DR is used to provide a path to return back to the run-test/idle state (through the Update-DR state). The
Pause-DR state is entered when the shifting of data through the test registers needs to be suspended. When shifting is to reconvene,
the controller enters the Exit2-DR state and then can re-enter the Shift-DR state.
Update-DR
When the EXTEST instruction is selected, there are latched parallel outputs of the boundary scan shift register that only change
state during the Update-DR controller state.
Instruction Register States
The instruction register states of the TAP controller are similar to the data register states. The desired instruction is serially shifted
into the instruction register during the Shift-IR state and is loaded during the Update-IR state.

Performing a TAP RESET
A reset is performed by forcing TMS High (VDDQ) for five rising edges of TCK. This RESET does not affect the operation of the
LLDRAM II and may be performed while the LLDRAM II is operating.
At power-up, the TAP is reset internally to ensure that TDO comes up in a High-Z state.
TAP Registers
Registers are connected between the TDI and TDO balls and allow data to be scanned into and out of the LLDRAM II test
circuitry. Only one register can be selected at a time through the instruction register. Data is serially loaded into the TDI ball on the
rising edge of TCK. Data is output on the TDO ball on the falling edge of TCK.
Instruction Register
Eight-bit instructions can be serially loaded into the instruction register. This register is loaded during the Update-IR state of the
TAP controller. Upon power-up, the instruction register is loaded with the IDCODE instruction. It is also loaded with the IDCODE
instruction if the controller is placed in a reset state as described in the previous section.
When the TAP controller is in the Capture-IR state, the two LSBs are loaded with a binary “01” pattern to allow for fault isolation
of the board-level serial test data path.
Bypass Register
To save time when serially shifting data through registers, it is sometimes advantageous to skip certain chips. The bypass register is
a single-bit register that can be placed between the TDI and TDO balls. This allows data to be shifted through the LLDRAM II with
minimal delay. The bypass register is set Low (VSS) when the BYPASS instruction is executed.

Boundary Scan Register
The Boundary Scan Register is connected to all the input and bidirectional balls on the LLDRAM II. Several bits are also included
in the scan register for reserved balls. The LLDRAM II has a 113-bit register.
The Boundary Scan Register is loaded with the contents of the RAM I/O ring when the TAP controller is in the Capture-DR state
and is then placed between the TDI and TDO balls when the controller is moved to the Shift-DR state.
The Boundary Scan Register table shows the order in which the bits are connected. Each bit corresponds to one of the balls on the
LLDRAM II package. The MSB of the register is connected to TDI, and the LSB is connected to TDO.
Identification (ID) Register
The ID register is loaded with a vendor-specific, 32-bit code during the capture-DR state when the IDCODE command is loaded in
the instruction register. The IDCODE is hardwired into the LLDRAM II and can be shifted out when the TAP controller is in the
shift-DR state. The ID register has a vendor code and other information described in the table below.

TAP Instruction Set
Overview
Many different instructions (256) are possible with the 8-bit instruction register. All combinations used are listed in the Instruction
Codes table. These six instructions are described in detail below. The remaining instructions are reserved and should not be used.
The TAP controller used in this LLDRAM II is fully compliant to the 1149.1 convention.
Instructions are loaded into the TAP controller during the Shift-IR state when the instruction register is placed between TDI and
TDO. During this state, instructions are shifted through the instruction register through the TDI and TDO balls. To execute the
instruction once it is shifted in, the TAP controller needs to be moved into the Update-IR state.
EXTEST
The EXTEST instruction allows circuitry external to the component package to be tested. Boundary Scan Register cells at output
balls are used to apply a test vector, while those at input balls capture test results. Typically, the first test vector to be applied using
the EXTEST instruction will be shifted into the Boundary Scan Register using the PRELOAD instruction. Thus, during the
Update-IR state of EXTEST, the output driver is turned on, and the PRELOAD data is driven onto the output balls.
IDCODE
The IDCODE instruction causes a vendor-specific, 32-bit code to be loaded into the instruction register. It also places the
instruction register between the TDI and TDO balls and allows the IDCODE to be shifted out of the device when the TAP
controller enters the Shift-DR state. The IDCODE instruction is loaded into the instruction register upon power-up or whenever the
TAP controller is given a test logic reset state.

High-Z
The High-Z instruction places all LLDRAM II outputs into a High-Z state, and causes the bypass register to be connected between
TDI and TDO when the TAP Controller is in the Shift DR state.
CLAMP
When the CLAMP instruction is loaded into the instruction register, the data driven by the output balls are determined from the
values held in the Boundary Scan Register. Additionally, it causes the bypass register to be connected between TDI and TDO
when the TAP Controller is in the Shift DR state.
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
When the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction is loaded into the instruction register and the TAP controller is in the Capture-DR
state, a snapshot of data on the inputs and bidirectional balls is captured in the Boundary Scan Register.
The user must be aware that the TAP controller clock can only operate at a frequency up to 50 MHz, while the LLDRAM II clock
operates significantly faster. Because there is a large difference between the clock frequencies, it is possible that during the
Capture-DR state, an input or output will undergo a transition. The TAP may then try to capture a signal while in transition
(metastable state). This will not harm the device, but there is no guarantee as to the value that will be captured. Repeatable results
may not be possible.
To ensure that the Boundary Scan Register will capture the correct value of a signal, the LLDRAM II signal must be stabilized long
enough to meet the TAP controller’s capture setup plus hold time (tCS + tCH). The LLDRAM II clock input might not be captured
correctly if there is no way in a design to stop (or slow) the clock during a SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction. If this is an issue, it is
still possible to capture all other signals and simply ignore the value of the CK and CK captured in the Boundary Scan Register.
Once the data is captured, it is possible to shift out the data by putting the TAP into the Shift-DR state. This places the Boundary
Scan Register between the TDI and TDO balls.
BYPASS
When the BYPASS instruction is loaded in the instruction register and the TAP is placed in a Shift-DR state, the bypass register is
placed between TDI and TDO. The advantage of the BYPASS instruction is that it shortens the boundary scan path when multiple
devices are connected together on a board.
Reserved for Future Use
The remaining instructions are not implemented but are reserved for future use. Do not use these instructions.
