CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2, AND DDR3) CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2 AND DDR3) DDR3 SDRAM has employed several new technologies for high-speed operation while inheriting the DDR2 SDRAM architecture.

ZQ Calibration: Calibrates DRAM ODT and Ron fluctuations with PVT (process, voltage, and temperature). External resistor (240Ω±1%) is inserted between DRAM ZQ pin and GND for reference. To perform ZQ calibration, ZQCL or ZQCS command is used. (This is a self-calibration in which DDR3 performs all the measurement and adjustment automatically.) 2. OCD (Off Chip Driver Calibration): Calibrates DRAM Ron fluctuation with PVT. The external device connected to DRAM performs impedance measurement and adjustment (not self-calibration). OCD is an optional feature in DDR2. 3. /RESET pin is introduced in DDR3 for system stability. /RESET is an active-low signal. 4. Dynamic ODT: ODT value during WRITE can be changed dynamically by enabling the dynamic ODT mode in advance by MRS command. As a result, signal quality is improved. 5. DDR3 DIMM uses fly-by topology for CMD/ADD/CLK signals to improve signal quality. This causes flight time difference between DQ/DM/DQS and CMD/ADD/CLK. DDR3 has de-skew mechanism to compensate flight time difference.

CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2, AND DDR3) 1.1 Main Features 1.1.1 Clock Frequency, Data Rate, Power Voltage and Interface DDR3 SDRAM achieves high-speed operation about twice of that of DDR2 SDRAM, but suppresses the increase in power consumption by using a voltage of 1.5 V for the power supply and interface. 1.1.2 Number of Banks DDR3 SDRAM has eight banks, which allows more efficient bank interleave access than that in the case of four banks. 1.1.3 Prefetch, Burst Length and tCCD DDR3 SDRAM employs the 8-bit prefetch architecture for high-speed operation though DDR2 SDRAM employs 4-bit prefetch architecture. The bus width of the DRAM core has been made eight times wider than the I/O bus width, which enables the operating frequency of the DRAM core to be 1/8 of the data rate of the I/O interface section. READ operation: Converts 8-bit data read in parallel from the DRAM core to serial data, and outputs it from the I/O pin in synchronization with the clock (at double data rate). WRITE operation: Converts serial data that is input from the I/O pin in synchronization with the clock (at double data rate) to parallel data, and writes it to the DRAM core as 8-bit data.

Use these information under the full responsibility of the customer. For details about the functions of individual products, refer to the corresponding data sheet. CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2, AND DDR3) Since 8 bits at a time are read from DDR3 memory into the I/O buffer, so even if the data bus is handling transfer at a rate of 1066 Mbps, the internal bus operating at 133 MHz will be capable of handling this if there is little other load, so high-speed operation is realized. Operating frequency of internal bus 133 MHz DDR3 SDRAM Memory core External clock frequency 533 MHz Data bus transfer rate 1066 Mbps With the external clock 4 times of internal clock, transfer 8 bits every half-clock cycle. I/O buffer Prefetch = 8 bits Transfer 8 bits per clock cycle. DDR2 SDRAM 133 MHz 266 MHz Memory core I/O buffer 133 MHz DDR SDRAM Memory core 133 MHz SDR SDRAM Memory core 533 Mbps Prefetch = 4 bits 133 MHz 266 Mbps I/O buffer Prefetch = 2 bits 133 MHz 133 Mbps I/O buffer Prefetch = 1 bit Figure 1-1 Comparison of DDR3 SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, and SDR SDRAM Operations User's Manual E1503E10 (Ver.1.0) 7 Descriptions in this document are provided only for illustrative purpose in semiconductor product operation and application examples. Use these information under the full responsibility of the customer. For details about the functions of individual products, refer to the corresponding data sheet. CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2, AND DDR3) Because of these features, the burst length is basically eight bits, but 4-bit burst length is also supported considering the inheritance from DDR2 SDRAM. In that case, however, data is treated as if the second-half four bits are masked in an 8-bit burst length access. (This is called the burst chop 4 mode (BC4).) The column command interval (tCCD) also becomes 4tCK in connection with the 8-bit prefetch.

When address [A1,A0] in the mode register 0 (MR0) is set to [1,0], BL is fixed to 4. When the Read command or Write command is executed in the on-the-fly state ([A1,A0] = [0,1]), BL is 4 while A12 is low or 8 while A12 is high. When BL is 4, start points of tWR and tWTR are the same as those when BL is 8. T4 A0 High Burst chopped No burst chop Continuous output is possible when BL = 8 Two-cycle idle state is generated when BL = 4.

For details of these functions, see our User's Manual HOW TO USE DDR2 SDRAM. 1.1.5 Read Latency (RL) and Write Latency (WL) The time period from the issue of READ command to the output of the first data is called read latency (RL), and the time period from the issue of WRITE command to the input of the first data is called write latency (WL), which are shown by clock count. Definition of RL and WL is partly different between DDR2 SDRAM and DDR3 SDRAM.

CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2, AND DDR3) 1.1.6 DQS (Data Strobe) Only differential DQS is available in DDR3 SDRAM because finer timing control is required due to high data rate. 1.1.7 VREF Pin DDR3 SDRAM separates the VREF signals for data and for command/address. 1.1.8 /RESET Pin DDR3 SDRAM has employed the /RESET pin newly. The /RESET pin is driven low during power-on or initialization process or when a reset is required.

CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2, AND DDR3) 1.1.9 Output Driver Impedance (Ron), ODT and Calibrations Output Driver Impedance (Ron): − The output driver impedance (Ron) of DQ, DQS, /DQS, and DM is selectable in the same way as DDR2 SDRAM ([A5,A1] in MR1). − Ron may fluctuate with the process, voltage, and temperature (PVT). DDR2 SDRAM can calibrate Ron fluctuation due to PVT using the optional OCD (off-chip driver calibration) function, but DDR3 SDRAM uses the ZQ calibration function instead of the OCD function. ODT (On Die Termination): A termination resistor is provided in the chip to suppress signal reflection. This allows reduction in the number of external resistors and impovement in signal quality. − ODT resistance Rtt is selectable in the same way as DDR2 SDRAM ([A9,A6,A2] in MR1, [A10,A9] in MR2) − DDR3 SDRAM inherits the ODT function provided for DDR2 SDRAM, and provides extended ODT mode. Synchronous ODT: ODT timing same as that of DDR2 SDRAM Asynchoronous ODT: ODT timing in the slow exit power-down mode Dynamic ODT: Function that can dynamically switch the ODT resistance during WRITE operation without MRS command, which impoves signal quality during WRITE operation. DDR2 SDRAM DDR3 SDRAM On Die Termination (ODT Pin: H/L) On Die Termination (ODT Pin: H/L) Dynamic On Die Termination (Write & ODT Pin: H/L) Terminator OFF ODT pin → Low Active ON ODT pin → High Standby VTT Terminator ODT pin → Low OFF Active ON ODT pin → High Standby VTT DRAM Controller DQ Bus Controller Reflection Termination resistance is switchable by MRS command DQ Bus Reflection Termination resistance is switchable by MRS command and WRITE command (dynamic ODT function). Figure 1-3 Comparison between ODT of DDR2 SDRAM and Dynamic ODT of DDR3 SDRAM To achieve high-speed data transfer, a termination resistor is provided in DDR2 SDRAM and DDR3 SDRAM to suppress signal reflection on the bus. Reflection of signals from each DRAM can be suppressed by controlling ON/OFF of the ODT pin (input: high/low). DDR3 SDRAM can dynamically switch the termination resistance to improve signal quality during WRITE operation, enabling stable operation at a transfer rate of gigahertz level. (The ODT termination resistance (RTT_Nom) and the termination resistance (RTT_WR) used for the dynamic ODT function can be set by the MRS. If the ODT pin is held high during WRITE operation with the dynamic ODT set to OFF, the value set by RTT_Nom is used for the termination resistance.)

CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2, AND DDR3) 1.1.10 ZQ Calibration Although ODT resistance Rtt fluctuates with PVT in some cases, DDR3 SDRAM can calibrate the Rtt fluctuation due to PVT, which was not possible in DDR2 SDRAM. The ZQ calibration function is also used for Rtt calibration, as well as for Ron calibration.

Figure 1-4 ZQ Calibration The ZQ calibration function is essential for normal operation of DDR3. With the reference of the external resistance (240Ω ±1%) connected to the ZQ pin, DDR3 calibrates the Ron and Rtt values of the ZQ pin agaist temperature and voltage fluctuations (see figure 1-5).

CHAPTER 1 FEATURES OF DDR3 SDRAM (COMPARISON OF MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF DDR, DDR2, AND DDR3) 1.1.11 CLK-DQS Timing De-skew Mechanism The DDR3 SDRAM memory module has introduced the fly-by topology (shown in figure 1-6) for the CMD, ADD and CLK signals to improve signal quality. DDR3 DIMM C T D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 B A Controller CMD/ADD/CLK DQ/DM/DQS Figure 1-6 Fly-by Topology and Timing De-skew This topology improves signal quality, but generates a difference in flight time between DQ signal and CMD/ADD/CLK signals (maximal at C in figure 1-6). Therefore, the controller must adjust the output timing of each signal. To this end, DDR3 is provided with the timing de-skew mechanism. − Read leveling DDR3 SDRAM outputs the predetermined data pattern. The controller adjusts the DQ/DQS capture timing using the multi purpose register (MPR). − Write leveling DDR3 SDRAM outputs the CLK-DQS skew information. The controller adjusts signal timings using the skew information so that the CMD, ADD, and CLK signals arrive at DDR3 at the same time as the DQ, DM, and DQS signals.

Since DDR3 operates at high speed, correct data input may not be possible without timing adjustment. In addition to the memory array, a ROM that retains specific data patterns is provided. The MPR function intended to assist the read leveling outputs data from the ROM. The specific data patterns enable timing adjustment during READ operation. Note: To use MPR, the controller side must be compatible with MPR.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES 1 PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR MOS DEVICES Exposing the MOS devices to a strong electric field can cause destruction of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the MOS devices operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it, when once it has occurred. Environmental control must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using insulators that easily build static electricity. MOS devices must be stored and transported in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using wrist strap. MOS devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor MOS devices on it. 2 HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS DEVICES No connection for CMOS devices input pins can be a cause of malfunction. If no connection is provided to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels of CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused pin should be connected to VDD or GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of being an output pin. The unused pins must be handled in accordance with the related specifications. 3 STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS devices. Production process of MOS does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is turned ON, the MOS devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does not guarantee output pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. MOS devices are not initialized until the reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for MOS devices having reset function.
