1.2 Basic Function & Operation of DDR2 SDRAM
Read and write accesses to the DDR2 SDRAM are burst oriented; accesses start at a selected location and
continue for a burst length of four or eight in a programmed sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of
an Active command, which is then followed by a Read or Write command. The address bits registered coincident with the active command are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0-BA2 select the bank;
A0-A15 select the row). The address bits registered coincident with the Read or Write command are used to
select the starting column location for the burst access and to determine if the auto precharge command is to
be issued.
Prior to normal operation, the DDR2 SDRAM must be initialized. The following sections provide detailed information covering device initialization, register definition, command descriptions and device operation.
1.2.1 Power up and Initialization
DDR2 SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures other
than those specified may result in undefined operation.
Power-up and Initialization Sequence
The following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization.
1. Apply power and attempt to maintain CKE below 0.2*VDDQ and ODT*1 at a LOW state (all other inputs
may be undefined.)
- VDD, VDDL and VDDQ are driven from a single power converter output, AND
- VTT is limited to 0.95 V max, AND
- Vref tracks VDDQ/2.
or
- Apply VDD before or at the same time as VDDL.
- Apply VDDL before or at the same time as VDDQ.
- Apply VDDQ before or at the same time as VTT & Vref.
at least one of these two sets of conditions must be met.
2. Start clock and maintain stable condition.
3. For the minimum of 200us after stable power and clock(CK, CK), then apply NOP or deselect & take
CKE HIGH.
4. Wait minimum of 400ns then issue precharge all command. NOP or deselect applied during 400ns
period.
5. Issue EMRS command to EMR(2). (To issue EMRS command to EMR(2), provide “LOW” to BA0 and
BA2, “HIGH” to BA1.)*2
6. Issue EMRS command to EMR(3). (To issueEMRS command to EMR(3), provide “LOW” to BA2, “HIGH”
to BA0 and BA1.)*2
7. Issue EMR to enable DLL. (To issue "DLL Enable" command, provide "LOW" to A0, "HIGH" to BA0 and
"LOW" to BA1-2 and A13~A15. And A9=A8=A7=LOW must be sued when issuing this command)
8. Issue a Mode Register set command for “DLL reset”.
(To issue DLL reset command, provide "HIGH" to A8 and "LOW" to BA0-2, and A13~15.)
9. Issue precharge all command.
10. Issue 2 or more auto-refresh commands.
11. Issue a mode register command with LOW to A8 to initialize device operation. (i.e. to program operating
parameters without resetting the DLL.)
12. At least 200 clocks after step 8, execute OCD Calibration ( Off Chip Driver impedance adjustment ).
4
DDR2 Device Operations & Timing Diagram
If OCD calibration is not used, EMR OCD Default command (A9=A8= A7=1) followed by EMR OCD Calibration Mode Exit command (A9=A8=A7=0) must be issued with other operating parameters of EMR.
13. The DDR2 SDRAM is now ready for normal operation.
*1) To guarantee ODT off, VREF must be valid and a LOW level must be applied to the ODT pin.
*2) Sequence 5 and 6 may be performed between 8 and 9.

1.2.2 Programming the Mode and Extended Mode Registers
For application flexibility, burst length, burst type, CAS latency, DLL reset function, write recovery time(WR)
are user defined variables and must be programmed with a Mode Register Set(MRS) command. Additionally,
DLL disable function, driver impedance, additive CAS latency, ODT(On Die Termination), single-ended
strobe, and OCD(off chip driver impedance adjustment) are also user defined variables and must be programmed with an Extended Mode Register Set (EMRS) command. Contents of the Mode Register(MR) or
Extended Mode Registers(EMR(#)) can be altered by re-executing the MRS and EMRS Commands. Even if
the user chooses to modify only a subset of the MR or EMR(#) variables, all variables within the addressed
register must be redefined when the MRS or EMRS commands are issued.
MR, EMR and Reset DLL do not affect array contents, which means reinitialization including those can be
executed any time after power-up without affecting array contents.

DDR2 Device Operations & Timing Diagram
1.2.2.1 DDR2 SDRAM Mode Register (MR)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of DDR2 SDRAM. It controls
CAS latency, burst length, burst sequence, test mode, DLL reset, WR and various vendor specific options to
make DDR2 SDRAM useful for various applications. The default value of the mode register is not defined,
therefore the mode register must be programmed during initialization for proper operation. The mode register
is written by asserting LOW on CS, RAS, CAS, WE, BA0 and BA1, while controlling the state of address pins
A0 ~ A15. The DDR2 SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already HIGH prior to writing into the
mode register. The mode register set command cycle time (tMRD) is required to complete the write operation
to the mode register. The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle
requirements during normal operation as long as all banks are in the precharge state. The mode register is
divided into various fields depending on functionality. Burst length is defined by A0 ~ A2 with options of 4 and
8 bit burst lengths. The burst length decodes are compatible with DDR SDRAM. Burst address sequence type
is defined by A3, CAS latency is defined by A4 ~ A6. The DDR2 doesn’t support half clock latency mode. A7
is used for test mode. A8 is used for DLL reset. A7 must be set to LOW for normal MR operation. Write recovery time WR is defined by A9 ~ A11. Refer to the table for specific codes.

*1 : BA2 and A13~A15 are reserved for future use and must be programmed to 0 when setting the mode register.
*2: For DDR2-400/533. WR(write recovery for autoprecharge) min is determined by tCK max and WR max is determined by tCK min. WR
in clock cycles is calculated by dividing WR (in ns) by tCK (in ns) and rounding up to the next integer (WR[cycles] = WR[ns]/tCK[ns]). For
DDR2-667/800/1066. WR min is determined by tCK(avg) max and WR max is determined by tCK(avg) min. (WR[cycles] =
WR[ns]/tCK(avg)[ns]) The mode register must be programmed to this value. This is also used with tRP to determine tDAL.
*3 : Speed bin determined. Not required on all speed bins.

1.2.2.2 DDR2 SDRAM Extended Mode Register
EMR(1)
The extended mode register(1) stores the data for enabling or disabling the DLL, output driver strength, additive latency,
ODT, DQS disable, OCD program, RDQS enable. The default value of the extended mode register(1) is not defined,
therefore the extended mode register(1) must be programmed during initialization for proper operation. The extended
mode register(1) is written by asserting LOW on CS, RAS, CAS, WE, HIGH on BA0 and LOW on BA1, while controlling
the states of address pins A0 ~ A15. The DDR2 SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already HIGH prior to
writing into the extended mode register(1). The mode register set command cycle time (tMRD) must be satisfied to complete the write operation to the extended mode register(1). Mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during normal operation as long as all banks are in the precharge state. A0 is used for
DLL enable or disable. A1 is used for enabling a half strength output driver. A3~A5 determines the additive latency,
A7~A9 are used for OCD control, A10 is used for DQS disable and A11 is used for RDQS enable. A2 and A6 are used for
ODT setting.
DLL Enable/Disable
The DLL must be enabled for normal operation. DLL enable is required during power up initialization, and upon returning
to normal operation after having the DLL disabled. The DLL is automatically disabled when entering self refresh operation
and is automatically re-enabled upon exit of self refresh operation. Any time the DLL is enabled (and subsequently reset),
200 clock cycles must occur before a Read command can be issued to allow time for the internal clock to be synchronized
with the external clock. Failing to wait for synchronization to occur may result in a violation of the tAC or tDQSCK parameters.

on BA1 and LOW on BA0, while controling the states of address pins A0~A15. The DDR2 SDRAM should be
in all bank precharge with CKE already HIGH prior to writing into the extended mode register(2). The mode
register set command cycle time(tMRD) must be satisfied to complete the write operation to the extended

*1 : The rest bits in EMR(2) are reserved for future use and all bits except A7, BA0 and BA1 must be programmed to 0 when setting the
mode register during initialization.
*2 : Currently the periodic Self-Refresh interval is hard coded whithin the DRAM to a specific value. EMR(2) bit A7 is a migration plan to
support higher Self-Refresh entry. However, since this Self-Refresh control function is an option and to be phased-in by manufacturer
individually, checking on the DRAM parts for function availablity is necessary. For more details, please refer to “Operating Temperature
Condition” section at “Chapter 5. AC & DC operation conditions”.
*3 Optional in DDR2 SDRAM. If PASR (Partial Array Self Refresh) is enabled, data located in areas of the array beyond the specified
address range will be lost if self refresh is entered. Data integrity will be maintained if tREF conditions are met and no Self Refresh command is issued. If the PASR feature is not supported, EMR(2)[A0-A2] must be set to 000 when programming EMR(2).
*4 Optional in DDR2 SDRAM. JEDEC standard DDR2 SDRAM may or may not have DCC (Duty Cycle Corrector) implemented, and in
some of the DRAMs implementing DCC, user may be given the controllability of DCC thru EMR(2)[A3] bit. JEDEC standard DDR2
SDRAM users can look at manufacturer's data sheet to check if the DRAM part supports DCC controllability. If Optional DCC Controllability is supported, user may enable or disable the DCC by programming EMR(2)[A3] accordingly. If the controllability feature is not supported, EMR(2)[A3] must be set to 0 when programming EMR(2).

1.2.2.3 Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Impedance Adjustment
DDR2 SDRAM supports driver calibration feature and the flow chart below is an example of sequence. Every
calibration mode command should be followed by “OCD calibration mode exit” before any other command
being issued. All MR should be programmed before entering OCD impedance adjustment and ODT (On Die
Termiantion) should be carefully controlled depending on system environment.

DDR2 Device Operations & Timing Diagram
Extended Mode Register for OCD impedance adjustment
OCD impedance adjustment can be done using the following EMR mode. In drive mode all outputs are driven
out by DDR2 SDRAM and drive of RDQS is depedent on EMR bit enabling RDQS operation. In Drive(1)
mode, all DQ, DQS (and RDQS) signals are driven HIGH and all DQS signals are driven LOW. In drive(0)
mode, all DQ, DQS (and RDQS) signals are driven LOW and all DQS signals are driven HIGH. In adjust
mode, BL = 4 of operation code data must be used. In case of OCD calibration default, output driver characteristics have a nominal impedance value of 18  during nominal temperature and voltage conditions. Output
driver characteristics for OCD calibration default are specified in Table x. OCD applies only to normal full
strength output drive setting defined by EMR(1) and if half strength is set, OCD default output driver
characteristics are not applicable. When OCD calibration adjust mode is used, OCD default output driver
characteristics are not applicable. After OCD calibration is completed or driver strength is set to default,
subsequent EMR commands not intended to adjust OCD characteristics must specify A9-A7 as '000' in order
to maintain the default or calibrated value.

OCD impedance adjust
To adjust output driver impedance, controllers must issue the ADJUST EMR command along with a 4bit burst
code to DDR2 SDRAM as in table X. For this operation, Burst Length has to be set to BL = 4 via MR command before activating OCD and controllers must drive this burst code to all DQs at the same time. DT0 in
table X means all DQ bits at bit time 0, DT1 at bit time 1, and so forth. The driver output impedance is
adjusted for all DDR2 SDRAM DQs simultaneously and after OCD calibration, all DQs of a given DDR2
SDRAM will be adjusted to the same driver strength setting. The maximum step count for adjustment is 16
and when the limit is reached, further increment or decrement code has no effect. The default setting may be
any step within the 16 step range. When Adjust mode command is issued, AL from previously set value must
be applied

1.2.2.4 ODT (On Die Termination)
On Die Termination (ODT) is a feature that allows a DRAM to turn on/off termination resistance for each DQ,
DQS/DQS, RDQS/RDQS, and DM signal for x4x8 configurations via the ODT control pin. For x16 configuration ODT is applied to each DQ, UDQS/UDQS, LDQS/LDQS, UDM, and LDM signal via the ODT control pin.
The ODT feature is designed to improve signal integrity of the memory channel by allowing the DRAM controller to independently turn on/off termination resistance for any or all DRAM devices.
The ODT function is supported for ACTIVE and STANDBY modes. ODT is turned off and not supported in
SELF REFRESH mode.

1.3 Bank Activate Command
The Bank Activate command is issued by holding CAS and WE HIGH with CS and RAS LOW at the rising
edge of the clock. The bank addresses BA0 ~ BA2 are used to select the desired bank. The row address A0
through A15 is used to determine which row to activate in the selected bank. The Bank Activate command
must be applied before any Read or Write operation can be executed. Immediately after the bank active
command, the DDR2 SDRAM can accept a read or write command on the following clock cycle. If a R/W
command is issued to a bank that has not satisfied the tRCDmin specification, then additive latency must be
programmed into the device to delay when the R/W command is internally issued to the device. The additive
latency value must be chosen to assure tRCDmin is satisfied. Additive latencies of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are supported. Once a bank has been activated it must be precharged before another Bank Activate command can
be applied to the same bank. The bank active and precharge times are defined as tRAS and tRP, respectively. The minimum time interval between successive Bank Activate commands to the same bank is determined by the RAS cycle time of the device (tRC). The minimum time interval between Bank Activate
commands is tRRD.
In order to ensure that 8 bank devices do not exceed the instantaneous current supplying capability of 4
bank devices, certain restrictions on operation of the 8 bank devices must be observed. There are two rules.
One for restricting the number of sequential ACT commands that can be issued and another for allowing
more time for RAS precharge for a Precharge All command. The rules are as follows:
* 8 bank device Sequential Bank Activation Restriction: No more than 4 banks may be activated in a rolling
tFAW window. Converting to clocks is done by dividing tFAW[ns] by tCK[ns] or tCK(avg)[ns], depending on
the speed bin, and rounding up to next integer value. As an example of the rolling window, if (tFAW/tCK) or
(tFAW/tCK(avg) rounds up to 10 clocks, and an activate command is issued in clock N, no more than three
further activate commands may be issued at or betwen clock N+1 through N+9.
* 8 bank device Precharge All Allowance : tRP for a Precharge All command for an 8 Bank device will equal
to tRP+1*tCK or tnRP + 1*nCK, depending on the speed bin, where tnRP=tRP/tCK(avg) rounded up to the
next interger, where tRP is the value for a single bank pre-charge.

DDR2 Device Operations & Timing Diagram
1.4 Read and Write Access Modes
After a bank has been activated, a read or write cycle can be executed. This is accomplished by setting RAS
HIGH, CS and CAS LOW at the clock’s rising edge. WE must also be defined at this time to determine
whether the access cycle is a read operation (WE HIGH) or a write operation (WE LOW).
The DDR2 SDRAM provides a fast column access operation. A single Read or Write Command will initiate a
serial read or write operation on successive clock cycles. The boundary of the burst cycle is strictly restricted
to specific segments of the page length. For example, the 32Mbit x 4 I/O x 4 Bank chip has a page length of
2048 bits (defined by CA0-CA9, CA11). The page length of 2048 is divided into 512 or 256 uniquely addressable boundary segments depending on burst length, 512 for 4 bit burst, 256 for 8 bit burst respectively. A 4bit or 8 bit burst operation will occur entirely within one of the 512 or 256 groups beginning with the column
address supplied to the device during the Read or Write Command (CA0-CA9, CA11). The second, third and
fourth access will also occur within this group segment, however, the burst order is a function of the starting
address, and the burst sequence.
A new burst access must not interrupt the previous 4 bit burst operation in case of BL = 4 setting. However,
in case of BL = 8 setting, two cases of interrupt by a new burst access are allowed, one reads interrupted by
a read, the other writes interrupted by a write with 4 bit burst boundry respectively. The minimum CAS to
CAS delay is defined by tCCD, and is a minimum of 2 clocks for read or write cycles.

DDR2 Device Operations & Timing Diagram
1.4.1 Posted CAS
Posted CAS operation is supported to make command and data bus efficient for sustainable bandwidths in DDR2
SDRAM. In this operation, the DDR2 SDRAM allows a CAS read or write command to be issued immediately after the
RAS bank activate command (or any time during the RAS-CAS-delay time, tRCD, period). The command is held for the
time of the Additive Latency (AL) before it is issued inside the device. The Read Latency (RL) is controlled by the sum of
AL and the CAS latency (CL). Therefore if a user chooses to issue a R/W command before the tRCDmin, then AL (greater
than 0) must be written into the EMR(1). The Write Latency (WL) is always defined as RL - 1 (read latency -1) where read
latency is defined as the sum of additive latency plus CAS latency (RL=AL+CL). Read or Write operations using AL allow
seamless bursts (refer to semaless operation timing diagram examples in Read burst and Wirte burst section)

1.4.2 Burst Mode Operation
Burst mode operation is used to provide a constant flow of data to memory locations (write cycle), or from
memory locations (read cycle). The parameters that define how the burst mode will operate are burst
sequence and burst length. DDR2 SDRAM supports 4 bit burst and 8 bit burst modes only. For 8 bit burst
mode, full interleave address ordering is supported, however, sequential address ordering is nibble based for
ease of implementation. The burst type, either sequential or interleaved, is programmable and defined by the
address bit 3 (A3) of the MR, which is similar to the DDR SDRAM operation. Seamless burst read or write
operations are supported. Unlike DDR devices, interruption of a burst read or write cycle during BL = 4 mode
operation is prohibited. However in case of BL = 8 mode, interruption of a burst read or write operation is limited to two cases, reads interrupted by a read, or writes interrupted by a write. Therefore the Burst Stop command is not supported on DDR2 SDRAM devices.

1.4.3 Burst Read Command
The Burst Read command is initiated by having CS and CAS LOW while holding RAS and WE HIGH at the
rising edge of the clock. The address inputs determine the starting column address for the burst. The delay
from the start of the command to when the data from the first cell appears on the outputs is equal to the value
of the read latency (RL). The data strobe output (DQS) is driven LOW 1 clock cycle before valid data (DQ) is
driven onto the data bus. The first bit of the burst is synchronized with the rising edge of the data strobe
(DQS). Each subsequent data-out appears on the DQ pin in phase with the DQS signal in a source synchronous manner. The RL is equal to an additive latency (AL) plus CAS latency (CL). The CL is defined by the
Mode Register (MR), similar to the existing SDR and DDR SDRAMs. The AL is defined by the Extended
Mode Register (1)(EMR(1)).
DDR2 SDRAM pin timings are specified for either single ended mode or differential mode depending on
the setting of the EMR(1) “Enable DQS” mode bit; timing advantages of differential mode are realized in system design. The method by which the DDR2 SDRAM pin timings are measured is mode dependent. In single
ended mode, timing relationships are measured relative to the rising or falling edges of DQS crossing at VREF.
In differential mode, these timing relationships are measured relative to the crosspoint of DQS and its complement, DQS. This distinction in timing methods is guaranteed by design and characterization. Note that
when differential data strobe mode is disabled via the EMR, the complementary pin, DQS, must be tied externally to VSS through a 20  to 10 K resistor to insure proper operation.

Read burst interrupt function is only allowed on burst of 8. Burst interrupt of 4 is prohibited.
Read burst of 8 can only be interrupted by another Read command. Read burst interruption by Write command or
Precharge command is prohibited.
Read burst interrupt must occur exactly two clocks after previous Read command. Any other Read burst interrupt
timings are prohibited.
Read burst interruption is allowed to any bank inside DRAM.
Read burst with Auto Precharge enabled is not allowed to interrupt.
Read burst interruption is allowed by another Read with Auto Precharge command.
All command timings are referenced to burst length set in the mode register. They are not referenced to actual
burst. For example, Minimum Read to Precharge timing is AL + BL/2 where BL is the burst length set in the mode
register and not the actual burst (which is shorter because of interrupt).

1.4.4 Burst Write Operation
The Burst Write command is initiated by having CS, CAS and WE LOW while holding RAS HIGH at the rising
edge of the clock. The address inputs determine the starting column address. Write latency (WL) is defined
by a read latency (RL) minus one and is equal to (AL + CL -1). A data strobe signal (DQS) should be driven
LOW (preamble) one clock prior to the WL. The first data bit of the burst cycle must be applied to the DQ
pins at the first rising edge of the DQS following the preamble. The tDQSS specification must be satisfied for
write cycles. The subsequent burst bit data are issued on successive edges of the DQS until the burst length
is completed, which is 4 or 8 bit burst. When the burst has finished, any additional data supplied to the DQ
pins will be ignored. The DQ Signal is ignored after the burst write operation is complete. The time from the
completion of the burst write to bank precharge is the write recovery time (WR).
DDR2 SDRAM pin timings are specified for either single ended mode or differential mode depending on the
setting of the EMR “Enable DQS” mode bit; timing advantages of differential mode are realized in system
design. The method by which the DDR2 SDRAM pin timings are measured is mode dependent. In single
ended mode, timing relationships are measured relative to the rising or falling edges of DQS crossing at VREF.
In differential mode, these timing relationships are measured relative to the crosspoint of DQS and its complement, DQS. This distinction in timing methods is guaranteed by design and characterization. Note that
when differential data strobe mode is disabled via the EMR, the complementary pin, DQS, must be tied externally to VSS through a 20  to 10 K resistor to insure proper operation.

Notes:
1. Write burst interrupt function is only allowed on burst of 8. Burst interrupt of 4 is prohibited.
2. Write burst of 8 can only be interrupted by another Write command. Write burst interruption by Read
command or Precharge command is prohibited.
3. Write burst interrupt must occur exactly two clocks after previous Write command. Any other Write burst
interrupt timings are prohibited.
4. Write burst interruption is allowed to any bank inside DRAM.
5. Write burst with Auto Precharge enabled is not allowed to interrupt.
6. Write burst interruption is allowed by another Write with Auto Precharge command.
7. All command timings are referenced to burst length set in the mode register. They are not referenced to
actual burst. For example, minimum Write to Precharge timing is WL+BL/2+WR where WR starts with
the rising clock after the un-interrupted burst end and not from the end of actual burst end.

1.4.5 Write data mask
One write data mask (DM) pin for each 8 data bits (DQ) will be supported on DDR2 SDRAMs, Consistent with
the implementation on DDR SDRAMs. It has identical timings on write operations as the data bits, and though
used in a uni-directional manner, is internally loaded identically to data bits to insure matched system timing.
DM of x4 and x16 bit organization is not used during read cycles. However DM of x8 bit organization can be
used as RDQS during read cycles by EMR(1) settng.

1.5 Precharge Operation
The Precharge Command is used to precharge or close a bank that has been activated. The Precharge Command is triggered 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 independently or all banks simultaneously. Three
address bits A10, BA0 and BA1 for 512Mb and four address bits A10, BA0~BA2 for 1Gb and higher densities
are used to define which bank to precharge when the command is issued. For 8 bank devices, refer to Bank
Active section of this data sheet.

Burst Read Operation Followed by Precharge
Minimum Read to precharge command spacing to the same bank = AL + BL/2 + max(RTP,2) - 2 clocks
For the earliest possible precharge, the precharge command may be issued on the rising edge which is
“Additive latency(AL) + BL/2 + max(RTP,2) - 2clocks” after a Read command. A new bank active (command)
may be issued to the same bank after the RAS precharge time (tRP). A precharge command cannot be issued
until tRAS is satisfied.
The minimum Read to Precharge spacing has also to satisfy a minimum analog time from the rising clock
egde that initiates the last 4-bit prefetch of a Read to Precharge command. This time is called tRTP (Read to
Precharge). For BL = 4 this is the time from the actual read (AL after the Read command) to Precharge command. For BL = 8 this is the time from AL + 2 clocks after the Read to the Precharge command.

Burst Write followed by Precharge
Minimum Write to Precharge Command spacing to the same bank = WL + BL/2 clks + tWR
For write cycles, a delay must be satisfied from the completion of the last burst write cycle until the Precharge
Command can be issued. This delay is known as a write recovery time (tWR) referenced from the completion
of the burst write to the precharge command. No Precharge command should be issued prior to the tWR delay.

1.6 Auto Precharge Operation
Before a new row in an active bank can be opened, the active bank must be precharged using either the Precharge command or the auto-precharge function. When a Read or a Write command is given to the DDR2
SDRAM, the CAS timing accepts one extra address, column address A10, to allow the active bank to automatically begin precharge at the earliest possible moment during the burst read or write cycle. If A10 is LOW
when the READ or WRITE command is issued, then normal Read or Write burst operation is executed and
the bank remains active at the completion of the burst sequence. If A10 is HIGH when the Read or Write command is issued, then the auto-precharge function is engaged. During auto-precharge, a Read command will
execute as normal with the exception that the active bank will begin to precharge on the rising edge which is
CAS latency (CL) clock cycles before the end of the read burst.
Auto-precharge is also implemented during Write commands. The precharge operation engaged by the Auto
precharge command will not begin until the last data of the burst write sequence is properly stored in the
memory array.
This feature allows the precharge operation to be partially or completely hidden during burst read cycles
(dependent upon CAS latency) thus improving system performance for random data access. The RAS lockout circuit internally delays the Precharge operation until the array restore operation has been completed
(tRAS satisfied) so that the auto precharge command may be issued with any read or write command.
Burst Read with Auto Precharge
If A10 is HIGH when a Read Command is issued, the Read with Auto-Precharge function is engaged. The
DDR2 SDRAM starts an Auto Precharge operation on the rising edge which is (AL + BL/2) cycles later than
the read with AP command if tRAS(min) and tRTP(min) are satisfied.
If tRAS(min) is not satisfied at the edge, the start point of auto-precharge operation will be delayed until
tRAS(min) is satisfied.
If tRTP(min) is not satisfied at the edge, the start point of auto-precharge operation will be delayed until
tRTP(min) is satisfied.
In case the internal precharge is pushed out by tRTP, tRP starts at the point where tRTP ends(not at the next
rising clock edge after this event). So for BL = 4 the minimum time from Read_AP to the next Activate command becomes AL + {(tRTP + tRP)/ tCK}* (see example 2) for BL = 8 the time from Read_AP to the next Activate is AL + 2 + {(tRTP + tRP)/tCK}*, where “*” means: “rounded up to the next integer”. These equations
change to AL + {tRTP + tRP)/tCK(avg)}*and AL + 2 +{tRTP + tRP)/tCK(avg)}*, respectively, for DDR2667/800. In any event internal precharge does not start earlier than two clocks after the last 4-bit prefetch.
A new bank activate (command) may be issued to the same bank if the following two conditions are satisfied
simultaneously.
(1) The RAS precharge time (tRP) has been satisfied from the clock at which the auto precharge begins.
(2) The RAS cycle time (tRC) from the previous bank activation has been satisfied.

If A10 is HIGH when a Write Command is issued, the Write with Auto-Precharge function is engaged. The
DDR2 SDRAM automatically begins precharge operation after the completion of the burst write plus write
recovery time (WR) programmed in the mode register. The bank undergoing auto-precharge from the completion of the write burst may be reactivated if the following two conditions are satisfied.
(1) The data-in to bank activate delay time (WR + tRP) has been satisfied.
(2) The RAS cycle time (tRC) from the previous bank activation has been satisfied.

1.7 Refresh Commands
DDR2 SDRAMs require a refresh of all rows in any rolling 64 ms interval. Each refresh is generated in one of
two ways: by an explicit Auto-Refresh command, or by an internally timed event in SELF REFRESH mode.
Dividing the number of device rows into the rolling 64ms interval, tREFI, which is a guideline to controllers for
distributed refresh timing. For example, a 512Mb DDR2 SDRAM has 8192 rows resulting in a tREFI of 7.8㎲.
To avoid excessive interruptions to the memory controller, higher density DDR2 SDRAMS maintain 7.8㎲
average refresh time and perform multiple internal refresh bursts. In these cases, the refresh recovery times,
tRFC an tXSNR are extended to accomodate these internal operations.
1.7.1 Auto Refresh Command
AUTO REFRESH is used during normal operation of the DDR2 SDRAM. This command is nonpersistent, so
it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The refresh addressing is generated by the internal refresh
controller. This makes the address bits “Don’t Care” during an AUTO REFRESH command.
When CS, RAS and CAS are held LOW and WE HIGH at the rising edge of the clock, the chip enters the
Refresh mode (REF). All banks of the DDR2 SDRAM must be precharged and idle for a minimum of the Precharge time (tRP) before the Refresh command (REF) can be applied. An address counter, internal to the
device, supplies the bank address during the refresh cycle. No control of the external address bus is required
once this cycle has started.
When the refresh cycle has completed, all banks of the DDR2 SDRAM will be in the precharged (idle) state. A
delay between the Refresh command (REF) and the next Activate command or subsequent Refresh com40
DDR2 Device Operations & Timing Diagram
To allow for improved efficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexibility in the absolute
refresh interval is provided. A maximum of eight Refresh commands can be posted to any given DDR2
SDRAM, meaning that the maximum absolute interval between any Refresh command and the next Refresh
command is 9 * tREFI.

1.7.2 Self Refresh Operation
The Self Refresh command can be used to retain data in the DDR2 SDRAM, even if the rest of the system is
powered down. When in the Self Refresh mode, the DDR2 SDRAM retains data without external clocking.
The DDR2 SDRAM device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self Refresh operation. The Self Refresh
Command is defined by having CS, RAS, CAS and CKE held LOW with WE HIGH at the rising edge of the
clock. ODT must be turned off before issuing Self Refresh command, by either driving ODT pin LOW or using
EMR command. Once the Command is registered, CKE must be held LOW to keep the device in Self Refresh
mode. The DLL is automatically disabled upon entering Self Refresh and is automatically enabled upon existing Self Refresh. When the DDR2 SDRAM has entered Self Refresh mode all of the external signals except
CKE, are “don’t care”. The DRAM initiates a minimum of one Auto Refresh command internally within tCKE
period once it enters Self Refresh mode.The clock is internally disabled during Self Refresh Operation to save
power. The minimum time that the DDR2 SDRAM must remain in Self Refresh mode is tCKE. The user may
change the external clock frequency or halt the external clock one clock after Self-Refresh entry is registered,
however, the clock must be restarted and stable before the device can exit Self Refresh operation.
The procedure for existing Self Refresh requires a sequence of commands. First, the clock must be stable
prior to CKE going back HIGH. Once Self Refresh Exit command is registered, a delay equal or longer than
the tXSNR or tXSRD must be satisfied before a valid command can be issued to the device. CKE must
remain HIGH for the entire Self Refresh exit period tXSRD for proper operation. Upon exit from Self Refresh,
the DDR2 SDRAM can be put back into Self Refresh mode after tXSRD expires.NOP or deselect commands
must be registered on each positive clock edge during the Self Refresh exit interval. ODT should also be
turned off during tXSRD.
The Use of Self Refresh mode introduce the possibility that an internally timed refresh event can be missed
when CKE is raised for exit from Self Refresh mode. Upon exit from Self Refresh, the DDR2 SDRAM requires
a minimum of one extra auto refresh command before it is put back into Self Refresh mode.

1.8 Power-Down
Power-down is synchronously entered when CKE is registered LOW (along with Nop or Deselect command).
CKE is not allowed to go LOW while mode register or extended mode register command time, or read or write
operation is in progress. CKE is allowed to go LOW while any of other operations such as row activation, precharge or autoprecharge, or auto-refresh is in progress, but power-down IDD spec will not be applied until finishing those operations. Timing diagrams are shown in the following pages with details for entry into power
down.
The DLL should be in a locked state when power-down is entered. Otherwise DLL should be reset after exiting power-down mode for proper read operation. DRAM design guarantees its DLL in a locked state with any
CKE intensive operations as long as DRAM controller complies with DRAM specifications. Figure X and figure
Y show two examples of CKE intensive applications. In both examples, DRAM maintains DLL in a locked
state throughout the period.
If power-down occurs when all banks are idle, this mode is referred to as precharge power-down; if powerdown occurs when there is a row active in any bank, this mode is referred to as active power-down. Entering
power-down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK, ODT and CKE. Also the DLL is disabled upon entering precharge power-down or slow exit active power-down, but the DLL is kept enabled during fast exit active power-down. In power-down mode, CKE LOW and a stable clock signal must be
maintained at the inputs of the DDR2 SDRAM, and ODT should be in a valid state but all other input signals
are “Don’t Care”. CKE LOW must be maintained until tCKE has been satisfied. Maximum Power-down duration is limited by the refresh rquirements of the device, which allows a maximum of 9*tREFI if maximum posting of REF is utilized immediately before entering power down.
The power-down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered HIGH (along with a Nop or Deselect
command). CKE HIGH must be maintained until tCKE has been satisfied. A valid, executable command can
be applied with power-down exit latency, tXP, tXARD, or tXARDS, after CKE goes HIGH. Power-down exit
latency is defined in the AC spec table of this data sheet.

1.9 Asynchronous CKE LOW Event
DRAM requires CKE to be maintained “HIGH” for all valid operations as defined in this data sheet. If CKE
asynchronously drops “LOW” during any valid operation DRAM is not guaranteed to preserve the contents of
array. If this event occurs, memory controller must satisfy DRAM timing specification tDelay before turning off
the clocks. Stable clocks must exist at the input of DRAM before CKE is raised “HIGH” again. DRAM must be
fully re-initialized (steps 4 thru 13) as described in initializaliation sequence. DRAM is ready for normal operation after the initialization sequence. See AC timing parametric table for tDelay specification

Input Clock Frequency Change during Precharge Power Down
DDR2 SDRAM input clock frequency can be changed under following condition:
DDR2 SDRAM is in precharged power down mode. ODT must be turned off and CKE must be at logic LOW level.
A minimum of 2 clocks must be waited after CKE goes LOW before clock frequency may change. SDRAM input
clock frequency is allowed to change only within minimum and maximum operating frequency specified for the
particular speed grade. During input clock frequency change, ODT and CKE must be held at stable LOW levels.
Once input clock frequency is changed, stable new clocks must be provided to DRAM before precharge power
down may be exited and DLL must be RESET via EMR after precharge power down exit. Depending on new
clock frequency an additional MR command may need to be issued to appropriately set the WR, CL etc.. During
DLL re-lock period, ODT must remain off. After the DLL lock time, the DRAM is ready to operate with new clock
frequency.

1.10 No Operation Command
The No Operation command should be used in cases when the DDR2 SDRAM is in an idle or a wait state.
The purpose of the No Operation command (NOP) is to prevent the DDR2 SDRAM from registering any
unwanted commands between operations. A No Operation command is registered when CS is LOW with
RAS, CAS, and WE held HIGH at the rising edge of the clock. A No Operation command will not terminate a
previous operation that is still executing, such as a burst read or write cycle.
1.11 Deselect Command
The Deselect command performs the same function as a No Operation command. Deselect command occurs
when CS is brought HIGH at the rising edge of the clock, the RAS, CAS, and WE signals become don’t cares.

1. All DDR2 SDRAM commands are defined by states of CS, RAS, CAS , WE and CKE at the rising edge of the clock.
2. Bank addesses BA0, BA1, BA2 (BA) determine which bank is to be operated upon. For (E)MR BA selects an (Extended) Mode
Register.
3. Burst reads or writes at BL=4 cannot be terminated or interrupted. See sections "Reads interrupted by a Read" and "Writes interrupted by a Write" in section 1.4 for details.
4. The Power Down Mode does not perform any refresh operations. The duration of Power Down is therefore limited by the refresh
requirements outlined in section 1.2.2.
5. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh. See
section 1.2.2.4.
6. “X” means “H or L (but a defined logic level)”.

Notes:
1. CKE (N) is the logic state of CKE at clock edge N; CKE (N–1) was the state of CKE at the previous clock edge.
2. Current state is the state of the DDR SDRAM immediately prior to clock edge N.
3. COMMAND (N) is the command registered at clock edge N, and ACTION (N) is a result of COMMAND (N).
4. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved unless explicitely described elsewhere in this document.
5. On Self Refresh Exit DESELECT or NOP commands must be issued on every clock edge occurring during the tXSNR period. Read commands may
be issued only after tXSRD (200 clocks) is satisfied.
6. Self Refresh mode can only be entered from the All Banks Idle state.
7. Must be a legal command as defined in the Command Truth Table.
8. Valid commands for Power Down Entry and Exit are NOP and DESELECT only.
9. Valid commands for Self Refresh Exit are NOP and DESELECT only.
10. Power Down and Self Refresh can not be entered while Read or Write operations, (Extended) Mode Register operations or Precharge operations
are in progress. See section 1.8 "Power Down" and 1.7.2 "Self Refresh Command" for a detailed list of restrictions.
11. tCKEmin of 3 clocks means CKE must be registered on three consecutive positive clock edges. CKE must remain at the valid input level the entire
time it takes to achieve the 3 clocks of registration. Thus, after any CKE transition, CKE may not transition from its valid level during the time period
of tIS + 2*tCKE + tIH.
12. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh. See section 1.2.2.4.
13. The Power Down does not perform any refresh operations. The duration of Power Down Mode is therefore limited by the refresh requirements outlined in section 1.2.2.
14. CKE must be maintained HIGH while the SDRAM is in OCD calibration mode .
15. “X” means “don’t care (including floating around VREF)” in Self Refresh and Power Down. However ODT must be driven HIGH or LOW in Power
Down if the ODT fucntion is enabled (Bit A2 or A6 set to “1” in EMR(1) ).
16. VREF must be maintained during Self Refresh operation.

2.Storage Temperature is the case surface temperature on the denter/top side of the DRAM. For the measurement conditions. Please
refer to JESD51-2 standard.
3. VDD and VDDQ must be within 300mV of each other at all times; and VREF must be not greater than 0.6xVDDQ. When VDD and

1. Operating Temperature is the case surface temperature on the center/top side of the DRAM. For the measurement conditions,
please refer to JESD51-2 standard.
2. The operatin temperature range are the temperature where all DRAM specification will be supported. Outside of this temperature
rang, even it is still within the limit of stress condition, some deviation on portion of operation specification may be required. During
operation, the DRAM case temperature must be maintained between 0 ~ 85C under all other specification parameters. However,
in some applications, it is desirable to operate the DRAM up to 95C case temperature. Therefore 2 spec options may exist.
1) Supporting 0 - 85C with full JEDEC AC & DC specifications. This is the minimum requirements for all oprating temperature
options.
2) Supporting 0 - 85C and being able to extend to 95C with doubling auto-refresh commands in frequency to a 32 ms
period(tRFI=3.9us).
Note; Currently the periodic Self-Refresh interval is hard coded within the DRAM to a specificic value.
There is a migration plan to support higher temperature Self-Refresh entry via the control of EMR(2) bit A7. However, since
Self-Refresh control function is a migrated process. For our DDR2 module user, it is imperative to check SPD Byte 49 Bit 0
to ensure the DRAM parts support higer than 85C case temperature Self-Refresh entry.
1) if SPD Byte 49 Bit 0 is a “0” means DRAM does not support Self-Refresh at higher than 85C, then system have to ensure
the DRAM is at or below 85C case temperature before initiating Self-Refresh operation.
2) if SPD Byte 49 Bit 0 is a “1” means DRAM supports Self-Refresh at higher than 85C case temperature, then system can
use register bit A7 at EMR(2) control DRAM to operate at proper Self-Refresh rate for higher temperature. Please also
refer to EMR(2) register definition section and DDR2 DIMM SPD definition for details.

1. There is no specific device VDD supply voltage requirement SSTL-1.8 compliance. However under all conditions VDDQ must be
less than or equal to VDD.
2. The value of VREF may be selected by the user to provide optimum noise margin in the system. Typically the value of VREF is
expected to be about 0.5 x VDDQ of the transmitting device and VREF is expected to track variations in VDDQ.
3. Peak to peak ac noise on VREF may not exceed +/-2% VREF (dc).
4. VTT of transmitting device must track VREF of receiving device.
5. VDDQ tracks with VDD, VDDL tracks with VDD. AC parameters are measured with VDD, VDDQ and VDDDL tied together.

5. The absolute value of the slew rate as measured from DC to DC is equal to or greater than the slew rate as measured from AC to AC.
This is guaranteed by design and characterization.
6. This represents the step size when the OCD is near 18  at nominal conditions across all process corners/variations and represents
only the DRAM uncertainty. A 0 value(no calibration) can only be achieved if the OCD impedance is 18  +/- 0.75  under nominal
conditions.
7. DRAM output slew rate specification applies to 400MT/s & 533MT/s speed bins.
8. Timing skew due to DRAM output slew rate mis-match between DQS / DQS and associated DQs is included in tDQSQ and tQHS

4.4.3 Calibrated Output Driver V-I Characteristics
DDR2 SDRAM output driver characteristics are defined for full strength calibrated operation as selected by
the procedure in OCD impedance adjustment. The below Tables show the data in tabular format suitable for
input into simulation tools. The nominal points represent a device at exactly 18 . The nominal low and nominal high values represent the range that can be achieved with a maximum 1.5  step size with no calibration
error at the exact nominal conditions only (i.e. perfect calibration procedure, 1.5  maximum step size guaranteed by specification). Real system calibration error needs to be added to these values. It must be understood that these V-I curves as represented here or in supplier IBIS models need to be adjusted to a wider
range as a result of any system calibration error. Since this is a system specific phenomena, it cannot be
quantified here. The values in the calibrated tables represent just the DRAM portion of uncertainty while looking at one DQ only. If the calibration procedure is used, it is possible to cause the device to operate outside
the bounds of the default device characteristics tables and figures. In such a situation, the timing parameters
in the specification cannot be guaranteed. It is solely up to the system application to ensure that the device is
calibrated between the minimum and maximum default values at all times. If this can’t be guaranteed by the
system calibration procedure, re-calibration policy, and uncertainty with DQ to DQ variation, then it is recommended that only the default values be used. The nominal maximum and minimum values represent the
change in impedance from nominal low and high as a result of voltage and temperature change from the
nominal condition to the maximum and minimum conditions. If calibrated at an extreme condition, the amount
of variation could be as much as from the nominal minimum to the nominal maximum or vice versa. The
driver characteristics evaluation conditions are:
a) Nominal 25 oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.8 V, typical process
b) Nominal Low and Nominal High 25 oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.8 V, any process
c) Nominal Minimum TBD oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.7 V, any process
d) Nominal Maximum 0 oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.9 V, any process
