The 2Gb Double-Data-Rate-3 (DDR3L) DRAMs is
double data rate architecture to achieve high-speed
operation. It is internally configured as an eight bank
DRAM.
The 2Gb chip is organized as 32Mbit x 8 I/Os x 8 bank
devices. These synchronous devices achieve high
speed double-data-rate transfer rates of up to 1600
Mb/sec/pin for general applications.
The chip is designed to comply with all key DDR3L
DRAM key features and all of the control and address
inputs are synchronized with a pair of externally
supplied differential clocks. Inputs are latched at the
cross point of differential clocks (CK rising and CK#
falling). All I/Os are synchronized with differential DQS
pair in a source synchronous fashion.
These devices operate with a single 1.35V -0.067V/
+0.1V power supply and are available in BGA
packages.

Ball Descriptions
Table 3. Ball Descriptions
Symbol
Type
Description
CK, CK#
Input
Differential Clock: CK and CK# are driven by the system clock. All SDRAM input signals
are sampled on the crossing of positive edge of CK and negative edge of CK#. Output
(Read) data is referenced to the crossings of CK and CK# (both directions of crossing).
CKE
Input
Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CK signal. If CKE goes
LOW synchronously with clock, the internal clock is suspended from the next clock cycle
and the state of output and burst address is frozen as long as the CKE remains LOW.
When all banks are in the idle state, deactivating the clock controls the entry to the Power
Down and Self Refresh modes.
BA0-BA2
Input
Bank Address: BA0-BA2 define to which bank the BankActivate, Read, Write, or
BankPrecharge command is being applied.
A0-A14
Input
Address Inputs: A0-A14 are sampled during the BankActivate command (row address
A0-A14) and Read/Write command (column address A0-A9 with A10 defining Auto
Precharge).
A10/AP
Input
Auto-Precharge: A10 is sampled during Read/Write commands to determine whether
Autoprecharge should be performed to the accessed bank after the Read/Write operation.
(HIGH: Autoprecharge; LOW: no Autoprecharge). A10 is sampled during a Precharge
command to determine whether the Precharge applies to one bank (A10 LOW) or all
banks (A10 HIGH).
A12/BC#
Input
Burst Chop: A12/BC# is sampled during Read and Write commands to determine if burst
chop (on the fly) will be performed. (HIGH - no burst chop; LOW - burst chopped).
CS#
Input
Chip Select: CS# enables (sampled LOW) and disables (sampled HIGH) the command
decoder. All commands are masked when CS# is sampled HIGH. It is considered part of
the command code.
RAS#
Input
Row Address Strobe: The RAS# signal defines the operation commands in conjunction
with the CAS# and WE# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive edges of CK
and negative edge of CK#. When RAS# and CS# are asserted "LOW" and CAS# is
asserted "HIGH," either the BankActivate command or the Precharge command is
selected by the WE# signal. When the WE# is asserted "HIGH," the BankActivate
command is selected and the bank designated by BA is turned on to the active state.
When the WE# is asserted "LOW," the Precharge command is selected and the bank
designated by BA is switched to the idle state after the precharge operation.
CAS#
Input
Column Address Strobe: The CAS# signal defines the operation commands in
conjunction with the RAS# and WE# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive
edges of CK and negative edge of CK#. When RAS# is held "HIGH" and CS# is asserted
"LOW," the column access is started by asserting CAS# "LOW." Then, the Read or Write
command is selected by asserting WE# “HIGH " or “LOW".
WE#
Input
Write Enable: The WE# signal defines the operation commands in conjunction with the
RAS# and CAS# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive edges of CK and
negative edge of CK#. The WE# input is used to select the BankActivate or Precharge
command and Read or Write command.
DQS,
Input /
DQS#
Output
Bidirectional Data Strobe: Specifies timing for Input and Output data. Read Data Strobe
is edge triggered. Write Data Strobe provides a setup and hold time for data and DM. The
data strobes DOS is paired with DQS# to provide differential pair signaling to the system
during both reads and writes.
TDQS
Output
TDQS#

DM
Input
Data Input Mask: Input data is masked when DM is sampled HIGH during a write cycle.
DM has an optional use as TDQS on the x8.
DQ0 – DQ7
Input /
Output
Data I/O: The data bus input and output data are synchronized with positive and negative
edges of DQS/DQS#. The I/Os are byte-maskable during Writes.
ODT
Input
On Die Termination: ODT (registered HIGH) enables termination resistance internal to
the DDR3L SDRAM. When enabled, ODT is applied to each DQ, DQS, DQS#, DM/TDQS
and TDQS# signal. (When TDQS is enabled via Mode Register A11=1 in MR1) The ODT
pin will be ignored if Mode-registers, MR1and MR2, are programmed to disable RTT.
RESET#
Input
Active Low Asynchronous Reset: Reset is active when RESET# is LOW, and inactive
when RESET# is HIGH. RESET# must be HIGH during normal operation. RESET# is a
CMOS rail to rail signal with DC high and low at 80% and 20% of VDD

Functional Description
The DDR3L SDRAM is a high-speed dynamic random access memory internally configured as an eight-bank
DRAM. The DDR3L SDRAM uses an 8n prefetch architecture to achieve high speed operation. The 8n Prefetch
architecture is combined with an interface designed to transfer two data words per clock cycle at the I/O pins. A
single read or write operation for the DDR3L SDRAM consists of a single 8n-bit wide, four clock data transfer at the
internal DRAM core and two corresponding n-bit wide, one-half clock cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.
Read and write operation to the DDR3L SDRAM are burst oriented, start at a selected location, and continue for a
burst length of eight or a ‘chopped’ burst of four in a programmed sequence. Operation begins 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 activated (BA0-BA2 select the bank; A0-A14
select the row). The address bit registered coincident with the Read or Write command are used to select the
starting column location for the burst operation, determine if the auto precharge command is to be issued (via A10),
and select BC4 or BL8 mode ‘on the fly’ (via A12) if enabled in the mode register.
Prior to normal operation, the DDR3L SDRAM must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. The
following sections provide detailed information covering device reset and initialization, register definition, command
descriptions and device operation.

z Power-up and Initialization
The Following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization.
1. Apply power (RESET# is recommended to be maintained below 0.2 x VDD, all other inputs may be undefined).
RESET# needs to be maintained for minimum 200us with stable power. CKE is pulled “Low” anytime before
RESET# being de-asserted (min. time 10ns). The power voltage ramp time between 300mV to VDDmin must be
no greater than 200ms; and during the ramp, VDD>VDDQ and (VDD-VDDQ) <0.3 Volts.
- VDD and VDDQ are driven from a single power converter output, AND
- The voltage levels on all pins other than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to VDDQ and
VDD on one side and must be larger than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side. In addition, VTT is
limited to 0.95V max once power ramp is finished, AND
- Vref tracks VDDQ/2.
OR
- Apply VDD without any slope reversal before or at the same time as VDDQ.
- Apply VDDQ without any slope reversal before or at the same time as VTT & Vref.
- The voltage levels on all pins other than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to VDDQ and
VDD on one side and must be larger than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side.
2. After RESET# is de-asserted, wait for another 500us until CKE become active. During this time, the DRAM will
start internal state initialization; this will be done independently of external clocks.
3. Clock (CK, CK#) need to be started and stabilized for at least 10ns or 5tCK (which is larger) before CKE goes
active. Since CKE is a synchronous signal, the corresponding set up time to clock (tIS) must be meeting. Also a
NOP or Deselect command must be registered (with tIS set up time to clock) before CKE goes active. Once the
CKE registered “High” after Reset, CKE needs to be continuously registered “High” until the initialization
sequence is finished, including expiration of tDLLK and tZQinit.
4. The DDR3L DRAM will keep its on-die termination in high impedance state as long as RESET# is asserted.
Further, the DRAM keeps its on-die termination in high impedance state after RESET# deassertion until CKE is
registered HIGH. The ODT input signal may be in undefined state until tIS before CKE is registered HIGH. When
CKE is registered HIGH, the ODT input signal may be statically held at either LOW or HIGH. If RTT_NOM is to be
enabled in MR1, the ODT input signal must be statically held LOW. In all cases, the ODT input signal remains
static until the power up initialization sequence is finished, including the expiration of tDLLK and tZQinit.
5. After CKE being registered high, wait minimum of Reset CKE Exit time, tXPR, before issuing the first MRS
command to load mode register.(tXPR=max (tXS, 5tCK))
6. Issue MRS command to load MR2 with all application settings. (To issue MRS command for MR2, provide “Low”
to BA0 and BA2, “High” to BA1)
7. Issue MRS Command to load MR3 with all application settings. (To issue MRS command for MR3, provide “Low”
to BA2, “High” to BA0 and BA1)
8. Issue MRS Command to load MR1 with all application settings and DLL enabled. (To issue “DLL Enable”
command, provide “Low” to A0, “High” to BA0 and “Low” to BA1 and BA2)
9. Issue MRS Command to load MR0 with all application settings and “DLL reset”. (To issue DLL reset command
provide “High” to A8 and “Low” to BA0-BA2)
10. Issue ZQCL command to starting ZQ calibration.
11. Wait for both tDLLK and tZQinit completed.
12. The DDR3L SDRAM is now ready for normal operation.

z Reset Procedure at Stable Power
The following sequence is required for RESET at no power interruption initialization.
1. Asserted RESET below 0.2*VDD anytime when reset is needed (all other inputs may be undefined). RESET
needs to be maintained for minimum 100ns. CKE is pulled “Low” before RESET being de-asserted (min. time
10ns).
2. Follow Power-up Initialization Sequence step 2 to 11.
3. The Reset sequence is now completed. DDR3L SDRAM is ready for normal operation.

Register Definition
z Programming the Mode Registers
For application flexibility, various functions, features, and modes are programmable in four Mode Registers,
provided by the DDR3L SDRAM, as user defined variables and they must be programmed via a Mode Register Set
(MRS) command. As the default values of the Mode Registers are not defined, contents of Mode Registers must be
fully initialized and/or re-initialized, i.e., written, after power up and/or reset for proper operation. Also the contents of
the Mode Registers can be altered by re-executing the MRS command during normal operation. When
programming the mode registers, even if the user chooses to modify only a sub-set of the MRS fields, all address
fields within the accessed mode register must be redefined when the MRS command is issued. MRS command and
DLL Reset do not affect array contents, which mean these commands can be executed any time after power-up
without affecting the array contents.
The mode register set command cycle time, tMRD is required to complete the write operation to the mode register
and is the minimum time required between two MRS commands shown in Figure of tMRD timing.

The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and timing requirements during normal
operation as long as the DRAM is in idle state, i.e., all banks are in the precharged state with tRP satisfied, all data
bursts are completed and CKE is high prior to writing into the mode register. The mode registers are divided into
various fields depending on the functionality and/or modes.

z Mode Register MR0
The mode-register MR0 stores data for controlling various operating modes of DDR3L SDRAM. It controls burst
length, read burst type, CAS latency, test mode, DLL reset, WR, and DLL control for precharge Power-Down, which
include various vendor specific options to make DDR3L DRAM useful for various applications. The mode register is
written by asserting low on CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE#, BA0, BA1, and BA2, while controlling the states of address
pins according to the following figure.

- Burst Length, Type, and Order
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed to sequential or interleaved order. The burst type is selected via
bit A3 as shown in the MR0 Definition as above figure. The ordering of access within a burst is determined by the
burst length, burst type, and the starting column address. The burst length is defined by bits A0-A1. Burst lengths
options include fix BC4, fixed BL8, and on the fly which allow BC4 or BL8 to be selected coincident with the
registration of a Read or Write command via A12/BC#

Note 1: In case of burst length being fixed to 4 by MR0 setting, the internal write operation starts two clock cycles earlier than
for the BL8 mode. This means that the starting point for tWR and tWTR will be pulled in by two clocks. In case of
burst length being selected on-the-fly via A12/BC#, the internal write operation starts at the same point in time like a
burst of 8 write operation. This means that during on-the-fly control, the starting point for tWR and tWTR will not be
pulled in by two clocks.
Note 2: 0~7 bit number is value of CA[2:0] that causes this bit to be the first read during a burst.
Note 3: T: Output driver for data and strobes are in high impedance.
Note 4: V: a valid logic level (0 or 1), but respective buffer input ignores level on input pins.
Note 5: X: Don’t Care.
- CAS Latency
The CAS Latency is defined by MR0 (bit A2, A4~A6) as shown in the MR0 Definition figure. CAS Latency is the
delay, in clock cycles, between the internal Read command and the availability of the first bit of output data. DDR3L
SDRAM does not support any half clock latencies. The overall Read Latency (RL) is defined as Additive Latency
(AL) + CAS Latency (CL); RL = AL + CL.
- Test Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by MR0 (bit7=0) and all other bits set to the desired values shown in the
MR0 definition figure. Programming bit A7 to a ‘1’ places the DDR3L SDRAM into a test mode that is only used by
the DRAM manufacturer and should not be used. No operations or functionality is guaranteed if A7=1.
- DLL Reset
The DLL Reset bit is self-clearing, meaning it returns back to the value of ‘0’ after the DLL reset function has been
issued. Once the DLL is enabled, a subsequent DLL Reset should be applied. Anytime the DLL reset function is
used, tDLLK must be met before any functions that require the DLL can be used (i.e. Read commands or ODT
synchronous operations.)

- Write Recovery
The programmed WR value MR0 (bits A9, A10, and A11) is used for the auto precharge feature along with tRP to
determine tDAL. WR (write recovery for auto-precharge) min in clock cycles is calculated by dividing tWR (ns) by
tCK (ns) and rounding up to the next integer: WR min [cycles] = Roundup (tWR [ns]/tCK [ns]). The WR must be
programmed to be equal or larger than tWR (min).
- Precharge PD DLL
MR0 (bit A12) is used to select the DLL usage during precharge power-down mode. When MR0 (A12=0), or ‘slowexit’, the DLL is frozen after entering precharge power-down (for potential power savings) and upon exit requires
tXPDLL to be met prior to the next valid command. When MR0 (A12=1), or ‘fast-exit’, the DLL is maintained after
entering precharge power-down and upon exiting power-down requires tXP to be met prior to the next valid
command.
z Mode Register MR1
The Mode Register MR1 stores the data for enabling or disabling the DLL, output strength, Rtt_Nom impedance,
additive latency, WRITE leveling enable, TDQS enable and Qoff. The Mode Register 1 is written by asserting low
on CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE#, high on BA0 and low on BA1 and BA2, while controlling the states of address pins
according to the following figure.

- 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. During normal operation (DLL-on) with MR1 (A0=0),
the DLL is automatically disabled when entering Self-Refresh operation and is automatically re-enable upon exit of
Self-Refresh operation. Any time the DLL is enabled and subsequently reset, tDLLK clock cycles must occur before
a Read or synchronous ODT 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 tDQSCK, tAON, or
tAOF parameters. During tDLLK, CKE must continuously be registered high. DDR3L SDRAM does not require DLL
for any Write operation, expect when RTT_WR is enabled and the DLL is required for proper ODT operation. For
more detailed information on DLL Disable operation are described in DLL-off Mode. The direct ODT feature is not
supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must be disabled by continuously registering the
ODT pin low and/or by programming the RTT_Nom bits MR1{A9,A6,A2} to {0,0,0} via a mode register set command
during DLL-off mode.
The dynamic ODT feature is not supported at DLL-off mode. User must use MRS command to set Rtt_WR, MR2
{A10, A9} = {0, 0}, to disable Dynamic ODT externally
- Output Driver Impedance Control
The output driver impedance of the DDR3L SDRAM device is selected by MR1 (bit A1 and A5) as shown in MR1
definition figure.
- ODT Rtt Values
DDR3L SDRAM is capable of providing two different termination values (Rtt_Nom and Rtt_WR). The nominal
termination value Rtt_Nom is programmable in MR1. A separate value (Rtt_WR) may be programmable in MR2 to
enable a unique Rtt value when ODT is enabled during writes. The Rtt_WR value can be applied during writes even
when Rtt_Nom is disabled.
- Additive Latency (AL)
Additive Latency (AL) operation is supported to make command and data bus efficient for sustainable bandwidth in
DDR3L SDRAM. In this operation, the DDR3L SDRAM allows a read or write command (either with or without autoprecharge) to be issued immediately after the active command. 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 the AL and
CAS Latency (CL) register settings. Write Latency (WL) is controlled by the sum of the AL and CAS Write Latency
(CWL) register settings. A summary of the AL register options are shown in MR.
- Write leveling
For better signal integrity, DDR3L memory module adopted fly-by topology for the commands, addresses, control
signals, and clocks. The fly-by topology has benefits from reducing number of stubs and their length but in other
aspect, causes flight time skew between clock and strobe at every DRAM on DIMM. It makes difficult for the
Controller to maintain tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specification. Therefore, the controller should support ‘write leveling’
in DDR3L SDRAM to compensate for skew.
- Output Disable
The DDR3L SDRAM outputs maybe enable/disabled by MR1 (bit 12) as shown in MR1 definition. When this feature
is enabled (A12=1) all output pins (DQs, DQS, DQS#, etc.) are disconnected from the device removing any loading
of the output drivers. This feature may be useful when measuring modules power for example. For normal operation
A12 should be set to ‘0’.
- TDQS enable
TDQS (Termination Data Strobe) is a feature of DDR3L SDRAM that provides additional termination resistance
outputs that may be useful in some system configurations. In contrast to the RDQS function of DDR2 SDRAM,
TDQS provides the termination resistance function only. The data strobe function of RDQS is not provided by TDQS.
The TDQS and DM functions share the same pin. When the TDQS function is enabled via the mode register, the
DM function is not supported. When the TDQS function is disabled, the DM function is provided and the TDQS# pin
is not used. The TDQS function is available in X8 DDR3L SDRAM only

- Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR)
Optional in DDR3L SDRAM: Users should refer to the DRAM supplier data sheet and/or the DIMM SPD to
determine if DDR3L SDRAM devices support the following options or requirements referred to in this material.
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 tREFI conditions are met and no SelfRefresh command is issued.
- CAS Write Latency (CWL)
The CAS Write Latency is defined by MR2 (bits A3-A5) shown in MR2. CAS Write Latency is the delay, in clock

Latency (CWL); WL=AL+CWL.
For more information on the supported CWL and AL settings based on the operating clock frequency, refer to
“Standard Speed Bins”. For detailed Write operation refer to “WRITE Operation”.
- Auto Self-Refresh (ASR) and Self-Refresh Temperature (SRT)
DDR3L SDRAM must support Self-Refresh operation at all supported temperatures. Applications requiring SelfRefresh operation in the Extended Temperature Range must use the ASR function or program the SRT bit
appropriately.
Optional in DDR3L SDRAM: Users should refer to the DRAM supplier data sheet and/or the DIMM SPD to

- Dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR)
DDR3L SDRAM introduces a new feature “Dynamic ODT”. In certain application cases and to further enhance
signal integrity on the data bus, it is desirable that the termination strength of the DDR3L SDRAM can be changed
without issuing an MRS command. MR2 Register locations A9 and A10 configure the Dynamic ODT settings.

conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.
NOTE2: Storage Temperature is the case surface temperature on the center/top side of the DRAM.
NOTE3: VDD and VDDQ must be within 300mV of each other at all times; and Vref must be not greater than 0.6VDDQ,
when VDD and VDDQ are less than 500mV; Vref may be equal to or less than 300mV.

NOTE1: Operating temperature is the case surface temperature on center/top of the DRAM.
NOTE2: The operating temperature range is the temperature where all DRAM specification will be supported.
Outside of this temperature range, even if it is still within the limit of stress condition, some deviation on portion of
operating specification may be required. During operation, the DRAM case temperature must be maintained
between 0-85°C under all other specification parameter. Supporting 0 - 85 °C with full JEDEC AC & DC
specifications.
NOTE3: Some applications require operation of the DRAM in the Extended Temperature Range between 85 °C and 95 °C
case temperature. Full specifications are guaranteed in this range, but the following additional apply.
a) Refresh commands must be doubled in frequency, therefore, reducing the Refresh interval tREFI to 3.9us. It is
also possible to specify a component with 1x refresh (tREFI to 7.8us) in the Extended Temperature Range.
b) If Self-Refresh operation is required in the Extended Temperature Range, then it is mandatory to either use the
Manual Self-Refresh mode with Extended Temperature Range capability (MR2 A6=0 and MR2 A7=1) or enable
the optional Auto Self-Refresh mode (MR2 A6=1 and MR2 A7=0).

- Multi-Purpose Register (MPR)
The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration bit sequence.

Memory Core
(all banks precharged)
MRS 3
【A2】
Multipurpose register
Pre-defined data for Reads
DQ, DM, DQS, DQS#
To enable the MPR, a MODE Register Set (MRS) command must be issued to MR3 Register with bit A2 = 1. Prior
to issuing the MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all banks precharged and tRP met). Once the
MPR is enabled, any subsequent RD or RDA commands will be redirected to the Multi Purpose Register. The
resulting operation, when a RD or RDA command is issued, is defined by MR3 bits A[1:0] when the MPR is enabled
as shown in table 11. When the MPR is enabled, only RD or RDA commands are allowed until a subsequent MRS
command is issued with the MPR disabled (MR3 bit A2 = 0). Note that in MPR mode RDA has the same
functionality as a READ command which means the auto precharge part of RDA is ignored. Power-Down mode,
Self-Refresh and any other non-RD/RDA command is not allowed during MPR enable mode. The RESET function
is supported during MPR enable mode.

z No Operation (NOP) Command
The No operation (NOP) command is used to instruct the selected DDR3L SDRAM to perform a NOP (CS# low and
RAS#, CAS# and WE# high). This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states.
Operations already in progress are not affected.
z Deselect Command
The Deselect function (CS# HIGH) prevents new commands from being executed by the DDR3L SDRAM. The
DDR3L SDRAM is effectively deselected. Operations already in progress are not affected.

z DLL- Off Mode
DDR3L DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent operations
until A0 bit set back to “0”. The MR1 A0 bit for DLL control can be switched either during initialization or later.
The DLL-off Mode operations listed below are an optional feature for DDR3L. The maximum clock frequency for
DLL-off Mode is specified by the parameter tCKDLL_OFF. There is no minimum frequency limit besides the need to
satisfy the refresh interval, tREFI.
Due to latency counter and timing restrictions, only one value of CAS Latency (CL) in MR0 and CAS Write Latency
(CWL) in MR2 are supported. The DLL-off mode is only required to support setting of both CL=6 and CWL=6.
DLL-off mode will affect the Read data Clock to Data Strobe relationship (tDQSCK) but not the data Strobe to Data
relationship (tDQSQ, tQH). Special attention is needed to line up Read data to controller time domain. Comparing
with DLL-on mode, where tDQSCK starts from the rising clock edge (AL+CL) cycles after the Read command, the
DLL-off mode tDQSCK starts (AL+CL-1) cycles after the read command. Another difference is that tDQSCK may
not be small compared to tCK (it might even be larger than tCK) and the difference between tDQSCKmin and
tDQSCKmax is significantly larger than in DLL-on mode.
The timing relations on DLL-off mode READ operation have shown at the following Timing Diagram (CL=6, BL=8)

z DLL on/off switching procedure
DDR3L DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent operation until
A0 bit set back to “0”.
z DLL “on” to DLL “off” Procedure
To switch from DLL “on” to DLL “off” requires the frequency to be changed during Self-Refresh outlined in the
following procedure:
1. Starting from Idle state (all banks pre-charged, all timing fulfilled, and DRAMs On-die Termination resistors,
RTT, must be in high impedance state before MRS to MR1 to disable the DLL).
2. Set MR1 Bit A0 to “1” to disable the DLL.
3. Wait tMOD.
4. Enter Self Refresh Mode; wait until (tCKSRE) satisfied.
5. Change frequency, in guidance with “Input Clock Frequency Change” section.
6. Wait until a stable clock is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
7. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until all tMOD
timings from any MRS command are satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled in the mode
registers when Self Refresh mode was entered, the ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW until all
tMOD timings from any MRS command are satisfied. If both ODT features were disabled in the mode registers
when Self Refresh mode was entered, ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
8. Wait tXS, and then set Mode Registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL, and WR
may be necessary. A ZQCL command may also be issued after tXS).
9. Wait for tMOD, and then DRAM is ready for next command.

z DLL “off” to DLL “on” Procedure
To switch from DLL “off” to DLL “on” (with requires frequency change) during Self-Refresh:
1. Starting from Idle state (all banks pre-charged, all timings fulfilled and DRAMs On-die Termination resistors
(RTT) must be in high impedance state before Self-Refresh mode is entered).
2. Enter Self Refresh Mode, wait until tCKSRE satisfied.
3. Change frequency, in guidance with “Input clock frequency change” section.
4. Wait until a stable clock is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
5. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until tDLLK timing
from subsequent DLL Reset command is satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled in the mode
registers when Self Refresh mode was entered, the ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW until
tDLLK timings from subsequent DLL Reset command is satisfied. If both ODT features are disabled in the
mode registers when Self Refresh mode was entered, ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
6. Wait tXS, then set MR1 Bit A0 to “0” to enable the DLL.
7. Wait tMRD, then set MR0 Bit A8 to “1” to start DLL Reset.
8. Wait tMRD, then set Mode registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL, and WR may
be necessary. After tMOD satisfied from any proceeding MRS command, a ZQCL command may also be
issued during or after tDLLK).
9. Wait for tMOD, then DRAM is ready for next command (remember to wait tDLLK after DLL Reset before
applying command requiring a locked DLL!). In addition, wait also for tZQoper in case a ZQCL command was
issued.

z Jitter Notes
NOTE 1. Unit ‘tCK(avg)’ represents the actual tCK(avg) of the input clock under operation. Unit ‘nCK’
represents one clock cycle of the input clock, counting the actual clock edges.ex) tMRD = 4 [nCK]
means; if one Mode Register Set command is registered at Tm, another Mode Register Set command
may be registered at Tm+4, even if (Tm+4 - Tm) is 4 x tCK(avg) + tERR(4per),min.
NOTE 2. These parameters are measured from a command/address signal (CKE, CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE#,
ODT, BA0, A0, A1, etc.) transition edge to its respective clock signal (CK/CK#) crossing. The spec
values are not affected by the amount of clock jitter applied (i.e. tJIT(per), tJIT(cc), etc.), as the setup
and hold are relative to the clock signal crossing that latches the command/address. That is, these
parameters should be met whether clock jitter is present or not.
NOTE 3. These parameters are measured from a data strobe signal (DQS, DQS#) crossing to its respective
clock signal (CK, CK#) crossing. The spec values are not affected by the amount of clock jitter
applied (i.e. tJIT(per), tJIT(cc), etc.), as these are relative to the clock signal crossing. That is, these
parameters should be met whether clock jitter is present or not.
NOTE 4. These parameters are measured from a data signal (DM, DQ0, DQ1, etc.) transition edge to its
respective data strobe signal (DQS, DQS#) crossing.
NOTE 5. For these parameters, the DDR3L SDRAM device supports tnPARAM [nCK] = RU{ tPARAM [ns] /
tCK(avg) [ns] }, which is in clock cycles, assuming all input clock jitter specifications are satisfied.
NOTE 6. When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated by the actual
tERR(mper),act of the input clock, where 2 <= m <= 12. (output deratings are relative to the SDRAM
input clock.)
NOTE 7. When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated by the actual
tJIT(per),act of the input clock. (output deratings are relative to the SDRAM input clock.)

z Input Clock frequency change
Once the DDR3L SDRAM is initialized, the DDR3L SDRAM requires the clock to be “stable” during almost all states
of normal operation. This means once the clock frequency has been set and is to be in the “stable state”, the clock
period is not allowed to deviate except for what is allowed for by the clock jitter and SSC (spread spectrum clocking)
specification.
The input clock frequency can be changed from one stable clock rate to another stable clock rate under two
conditions: (1) Self-Refresh mode and (2) Precharge Power-Down mode. Outside of these two modes, it is illegal to
change the clock frequency.
For the first condition, once the DDR3L SDRAM has been successfully placed in to Self-Refresh mode and tCKSRE
has been satisfied, the state of the clock becomes a don’t care. Once a don’t care, changing the clock frequency is
permissible, provided the new clock frequency is stable prior to tCKSRX. When entering and exiting Self-Refresh
mode of the sole purpose of changing the clock frequency, the Self-Refresh entry and exit specifications must still
be met. The DDR3L SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the minimum and maximum
operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade.
The second condition is when the DDR3L SDRAM is in Precharge Power-Down mode (either fast exit mode or slow
exit mode). If the RTT_Nom feature was enabled in the mode register prior to entering Precharge power down
mode, the ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW ensuring RTT is in an off state. If the RTT_Nom
feature was disabled in the mode register prior to entering Precharge power down mode, RTT will remain in the off
state. The ODT signal can be registered either LOW or HIGH in this case. A minimum of tCKSRE must occur after
CKE goes LOW before the clock frequency may change. The DDR3L SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to
change only within the minimum and maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade. During
the input clock frequency change, ODT and CKE must be held at stable LOW levels. Once the input clock
frequency is changed, stable new clocks must be provided to the DRAM tCKSRX before precharge Power Down
may be exited; after Precharge Power Down is exited and tXP has expired, the DLL must be RESET via MRS.
Depending on the new clock frequency additional MRS commands may need to be issued to appropriately set the
WR, CL, and CWL with CKE continuously registered high. During DLL re-lock period, ODT must remain LOW and
CKE must remain HIGH. After the DLL lock time, the DRAM is ready to operate with new clock frequency.

z Write Leveling
For better signal integrity, DDR3L memory adopted fly by topology for the commands, addresses, control signals,
and clocks. The fly by topology has benefits from reducing number of stubs and their length but in other aspect,
causes flight time skew between clock and strobe at every DRAM on DIMM. It makes it difficult for the Controller to
maintain tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specification. Therefore, the controller should support “write leveling” in DDR3L
SDRAM to compensate the skew.
The memory controller can use the “write leveling” feature and feedback from the DDR3L SDRAM to adjust the
DQS – DQS# to CK – CK# relationship. The memory controller involved in the leveling must have adjustable delay
setting on DQS – DQS# to align the rising edge of DQS – DQS# with that of the clock at the DRAM pin. DRAM
asynchronously feeds back CK – CK#, sampled with the rising edge of DQS – DQS#, through the DQ bus. The
controller repeatedly delays DQS – DQS# until a transition from 0 to 1 is detected. The DQS – DQS# delay
established though this exercise would ensure tDQSS specification.
Besides tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specification also needs to be fulfilled. One way to achieve this is to combine the
actual tDQSS in the application with an appropriate duty cycle and jitter on the DQS- DQS# signals. Depending on
the actual tDQSS in the application, the actual values for tDQSL and tDQSH may have to be better than the
absolute limits provided in “AC Timing Parameters” section in order to satisfy tDSS and tDSH specification.
DQS/DQS# driven by the controller during leveling mode must be determined by the DRAM based on ranks
populated. Similarly, the DQ bus driven by the DRAM must also be terminated at the controller.
One or more data bits should carry the leveling feedback to the controller across the DRAM configurations x8.
Therefore, a separate feedback mechanism should be available for each byte lane.

z DRAM setting for write leveling and DRAM termination unction in that mode
DRAM enters into Write leveling mode if A7 in MR1 set “High” and after finishing leveling, DRAM exits from write
leveling mode if A7 in MR1 set “Low”. Note that in write leveling mode, only DQS/DQS# terminations are activated
and deactivated via ODT pin not like normal operation.

Note 1: In write leveling mode with its output buffer disabled (MR1[bit7]=1 with MR1[bit12]=1) all RTT_Nom settings are
allowed; in Write Leveling Mode with its output buffer enabled (MR1[bit7]=1 with MR1[bit12]=0) only RTT_Nom
settings of RZQ/2, RZQ/4, and RZQ/6 are allowed.
z Procedure Description
Memory controller initiates Leveling mode of all DRAMs by setting bit 7 of MR1 to 1. With entering write leveling
mode, the DQ pins are in undefined driving mode. During write leveling mode, only NOP or Deselect commands are
allowed. As well as an MRS command to exit write leveling mode. Since the controller levels one rank at a time, the
output of other rank must be disabled by setting MR1 bit A12 to 1. Controller may assert ODT after tMOD, time at
which DRAM is ready to accept the ODT signal.
Controller may drive DQS low and DQS# high after a delay of tWLDQSEN, at which time DRAM has applied on-die
termination on these signals. After tDQSL and tWLMRD controller provides a single DQS, DQS# edge which is
used by the DRAM to sample CK – CK# driven from controller. tWLMRD(max) timing is controller dependent.
DRAM samples CK – CK# status with rising edge of DQS and provides feedback on all the DQ bits asynchronously
after tWLO timing. There is a DQ output uncertainty of tWLOE defined to allow mismatch on DQ bits; there are no
read strobes (DQS/DQS) needed for these DQs. Controller samples incoming DQ and decides to increment or
decrement DQS – DQS# delay setting and launches the next DQS/DQS# pulse after some time, which is controller
dependent. Once a 0 to 1 transition is detected, the controller locks DQS – DQS# delay setting and write leveling is
achieved for the device.

z Write Leveling Mode Exit
The following sequence describes how Write Leveling Mode should be exited:
1. After the last rising strobe edge (see ~T0), stop driving the strobe signals (see ~Tc0). Note: From now on, DQ
pins are in undefined driving mode, and will remain undefined, until tMOD after the respective MR command
(Te1).
2. Drive ODT pin low (tIS must be satisfied) and keep it low (see Tb0).
3. After the RTT is switched off, disable Write Level Mode via MRS command (see Tc2).
4. After tMOD is satisfied (Te1), any valid command may be registered. (MR commands may be issued after
tMRD (Td1).

z Extended Temperature Usage
Users should refer to the DRAM supplier data sheet and/or the DIMM SPD to determine if DDR3L
SDRAM devices support the following options or requirements referred to in this material:
1. Auto Self-refresh supported
2. Extended Temperature Range supported
3. Double refresh required for operation in the Extended Temperature Range (applies only for devices supporting
the Extended Temperature Range)
z Auto Self-Refresh mode - ASR mode
DDR3L SDRAM provides an Auto-Refresh mode (ASR) for application ease. ASR mode is enabled by setting MR2
bit A6=1 and MR2 bit A7=0. The DRAM will manage Self-Refresh entry in either the Normal or Extended
Temperature Ranges. In this mode, the DRAM will also manage Self-Refresh power consumption when the DRAM
operating temperature changes, lower at low temperatures and higher at high temperatures. If the ASR option is not
supported by DRAM, MR2 bit A6 must set to 0. If the ASR option is not enabled (MR2 bit A6=0), the SRT bit (MR2
bit A7) must be manually programmed with the operating temperature range required during Self-Refresh operation.
Support of the ASR option does not automatically imply support of the Extended Temperature Range.

z Self-Refresh Temperature Range - SRT
SRT applies to devices supporting Extended Temperature Range only. If ASR=0, the Self-Refresh Temperature
(SRT) Range bit must be programmed to guarantee proper self-refresh operation. If SRT=0, then the DRAM will set
an appropriate refresh rate for Self-Refresh operation in the Normal Temperature Range. If SRT=1, then the DRAM
will set an appropriate, potentially different, refresh rate to allow Self-Refresh operation in either the Normal or
Extended Temperature Ranges. The value of the SRT bit can effect self-refresh power consumption, please refer to

z ACTIVE Command
The ACTIVE command is used to open (or activate) a row in a particular bank for subsequent access. The value on
the BA0-BA2 inputs selects the bank, and the addresses provided on inputs A0-A14 selects the row. These rows
remain active (or open) for accesses until a precharge command is issued to that bank. A PRECHARGE command
must be issued before opening a different row in the same bank.
z PRECHARGE Command
The PRECHARGE command is used to deactivate the open row in a particular bank or the open row in all banks.
The bank(s) will be available for a subsequent row activation a specified time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE
command is issued, except in the case of concurrent auto precharge, where a READ or WRITE command to a
different bank is allowed as long as it does not interrupt the data transfer in the current bank and does not violate
any other timing parameters. Once a bank has been precharged, it is in the idle state and must be activated prior to
any READ or WRITE commands being issued to that bank. A PRECHARGE command is allowed if there is no
open row in that bank (idle bank) or if the previously open row is already in the process of precharging. However,
the precharge period will be determined by the last PRECHARGE command issued to the bank.

NOTES:
1. Within a burst, rising strobe edge is not necessarily fixed to be always at tDQSCK(min) or tDQSCK(max). Instead, rising strobe
edge can vary between tDQSCK(min) and tDQSCK(max).
2. Notwithstanding note 1, a rising strobe edge with tDQSCK(max) at T(n) can not be immediately followed by a rising strobe edge
with tDQSCK(min) at T(n+1). This is because other timing relationships (tQSH, tQSL) exist: if tDQSCK(n+1) < 0: tDQSCK(n) < 1.0 tCK (tQSHmin + tQSLmin) - | tDQSCK(n+1) |
3. The DQS, DQS# differential output high time is defined by tQSH and the DQS, DQS# differential output low time is defined by tQSL.
4. Likewise, tLZ(DQS)min and tHZ(DQS)min are not tied to tDQSCKmin (early strobe case) and tLZ(DQS)max and tHZ(DQS)max are
not tied to tDQSCKmax (late strobe case).
5. The minimum pulse width of read preamble is defined by tRPRE(min).
6. The maximum read postamble is bound by tDQSCK(min) plus tQSH(min) on the left side and tHZDSQ(max) on the right side.
7. The minimum pulse width of read postamble is defined by tRPST(min).
8. The maximum read preamble is bound by tLZDQS(min) on the left side and tDQSCK(max) on the right side.

Write Operation
z DDR3L Burst Operation
During a READ or WRITE command, DDR3L will support BC4 and BL8 on the fly using address A12 during the
READ or WRITE (Auto Precharge can be enabled or disabled).
A12=0, BC4 (BC4 = Burst Chop, tCCD=4)
A12=1, BL8
A12 is used only for burst length control, not as a column address.
z WRITE Timing Violations
Generally, if timing parameters are violated, a complete reset/initialization procedure has to be initiated to make
sure the DRAM works properly. However, it is desirable for certain minor violations that the DRAM is guaranteed
not to “hang up” and errors be limited to that particular operation.
For the following, it will be assumed that there are no timing violations with regard to the Write command itself
(including ODT, etc.) and that it does satisfy all timing requirements not mentioned below.
z Data Setup and Hold Violations
Should the strobe timing requirements (tDS, tDH) be violated, for any of the strobe edges associated with a write
burst, then wrong data might be written to the memory location addressed with the offending WRITE command.
Subsequent reads from that location might result in unpredictable read data, however, the DRAM will work properly
otherwise.
z Strobe to Strobe and Strobe to Clock Violations
Should the strobe timing requirements (tDQSH, tDQSL, tWPRE, tWPST) or the strobe to clock timing requirements
(tDSS, tDSH, tDQSS) be violated, for any of the strobe edges associated with a Write burst, then wrong data might
be written to the memory location addressed with the offending WRITE command. Subsequent reads from that
location might result in unpredictable read data, however the DRAM will work properly otherwise.
z Write Timing Parameters
This drawing is for example only to enumerate the strobe edges that “belong” to a write burst. No actual timing
violations are shown here. For a valid burst all timing parameters for each edge of a burst need to be satisfied (not
only for one edge ).
z Refresh Command
The Refresh command (REF) is used during normal operation of the DDR3L SDRAMs. This command is not
persistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The DDR3L SDRAM requires Refresh cycles at an
average periodic interval of tREFI. When CS#, RAS#, and CAS# are held Low and WE# High at the rising edge of
the clock, the chip enters a Refresh cycle. All banks of the SDRAM must be precharged and idle for a minimum of
the precharge time tRP(min) before the Refresh Command can be applied. The refresh addressing is generated by
the internal refresh controller. This makes the address bits “Don’t Care” during a Refresh command. An internal
address counter suppliers the 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 SDRAM will be in the
precharged (idle) state. A delay between the Refresh Command and the next valid command, except NOP or DES,
must be greater than or equal to the minimum Refresh cycle time tRFC(min).
In general, a Refresh command needs to be issued to the DDR3L SDRAM regularly every tREFI interval. To allow
for improved efficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexibility in the absolute refresh interval is
provided. A maximum of 8 Refresh commands can be postponed during operation of the DDR3L SDRAM, meaning
that at no point in time more than a total of 8 Refresh commands are allowed to be postponed. In case that 8
Refresh commands are postponed in a row, the resulting maximum interval between the surrounding Refresh
commands is limited to 9 x tREFI. A maximum of 8 additional Refresh commands can be issued in advance (“pulled
in”), with each one reducing the number of regular Refresh commands required later by one. Note that pulling in
more than 8 Refresh commands in advance does not further reduce the number of regular Refresh commands
required later, so that the resulting maximum interval between two surrounding Refresh command is limited to 9 x
tREFI. Before entering Self-Refresh Mode, all postponed Refresh commands must be executed.

z Self-Refresh Operation
The Self-Refresh command can be used to retain data in the DDR3L SDRAM, even if the reset of the system is
powered down. When in the Self-Refresh mode, the DDR3L SDRAM retains data without external clocking. The
DDR3L SDRAM device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self-Refresh operation. The Self-Refresh Entry (SRE)
Command is defined by having CS#, RAS#, CAS#, and CKE held low with WE# high at the rising edge of the clock.
Before issuing the Self-Refreshing-Entry command, the DDR3L SDRAM must be idle with all bank precharge state
with tRP satisfied. Also, on-die termination must be turned off before issuing Self-Refresh-Entry command, by either
registering ODT pin low “ODTL + 0.5tCK” prior to the Self-Refresh Entry command or using MRS to MR1 command.
Once the Self-Refresh Entry command is registered, CKE must be held low to keep the device in Self-Refresh
mode. During normal operation (DLL on), MR1 (A0=0), the DLL is automatically disabled upon entering SelfRefresh and is automatically enabled (including a DLL-RESET) upon exiting Self-Refresh.
When the DDR3L SDRAM has entered Self-Refresh mode, all of the external control signals, except CKE and
RESET#, are “don’t care”. For proper Self-Refresh operation, all power supply and reference pins (VDD, VDDQ,
VSS, VSSQ, VRefCA, and VRefDQ) must be at valid levels. The DRAM initiates a minimum of one 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 DDR3L
SDRAM must remain in Self-Refresh mode is tCKE. The user may change the external clock frequency or halt the
external clock tCKSRE after Self-Refresh entry is registered; however, the clock must be restarted and stable
tCKSRX before the device can exit Self-Refresh mode.
The procedure for exiting Self-Refresh requires a sequence of events. First, the clock must be stable prior to CKE
going back HIGH. Once a Self-Refresh Exit Command (SRX, combination of CKE going high and either NOP or
Deselect on command bus) is registered, a delay of at least tXS must be satisfied before a valid command not
requiring a locked DLL can be issued to the device to allow for any internal refresh in progress.
Before a command which requires a locked DLL can be applied, a delay of at least tXSDLL and applicable ZQCAL
function requirements [TBD] must be satisfied.
Before a command that requires a locked DLL can be applied, a delay of at least tXSDLL must be satisfied.
Depending on the system environment and the amount of time spent in Self-Refresh, ZQ calibration command may
be required to compensate for the voltage and temperature drift as described in “ZQ Calibration Commands”. To
issue ZQ calibration commands, applicable timing requirements must be satisfied.
CKE must remain HIGH for the entire Self-Refresh exit period tXSDLL for proper operation except for Self-Refresh
re-entry. Upon exit from Self-Refresh, the DDR3L SDRAM can be put back into Self-Refresh mode after waiting at
least tXS period and issuing one refresh command (refresh period of tRFC). NOP or deselect commands must be
registered on each positive clock edge during the Self-Refresh exit interval tXS. ODT must be turned off during
tXSDLL.
The use of Self-Refresh mode instructs the possibility that an internally times refresh event can be missed when
CKE is raised for exit from Self-Refresh mode. Upon exit from Self-Refresh, the DDR3L SDRAM requires a
minimum of one extra refresh command before it is put back into Self-Refresh mode.

Power-Down Modes
z Power-Down Entry and Exit
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 set command, MPR operations, ZQCAL operations, DLL locking or
read/write operation are in progress. CKE is allowed to go low while any of other operation such as row activation,
precharge or auto precharge and refresh are in progress, but power-down IDD spec will not be applied until
finishing those operation.
The DLL should be in a locked state when power-down is entered for fastest power-down exit timing. If the DLL is
not locked during power-down entry, the DLL must be reset after exiting power-down mode for proper read
operation and synchronous ODT operation. DRAM design provides all AC and DC timing and voltage specification
as well proper DLL operation with any CKE intensive operations as long as DRAM controller complies with DRAM
specifications.
During Power-Down, if all banks are closed after any in progress commands are completed, the device will be in
precharge Power-Down mode; if any bank is open after in progress commands are completed, the device will be in
active Power-Down mode.
Entering Power-down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK, ODT, CKE, and RESET#.
To protect DRAM internal delay on CKE line to block the input signals, multiple NOP or Deselect commands are
needed during the CKE switch off and cycle(s) after, this timing period are defined as tCPDED. CKE_low will result
in deactivation of command and address receivers after tCPDED has expired.

Also the DLL is disabled upon entering precharge power-down (Slow Exit Mode), but the DLL is kept enabled

high, and a stable clock signal must be maintained at the inputs of the DD3 SDRAM, and ODT should be in a valid
state but all other input signals are “Don’t care” (If RESET# goes low during Power-Down, the DRAM will be out of
PD mode and into reset state).
CKE low must be maintain until tCKE has been satisfied. Power-down duration is limited by 9 times tREFI of the
device. 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 and/or tXPDLL after CKE goes high. Power-down exit latency is defined
at AC spec table of this datasheet.

On-Die Termination (ODT)
On-die termination (ODT) is a feature that enables the DRAM to enable/disable and turn on/off termination
resistance for each DQ, DQS, DQS#, and DM for the x8 configurations (and TDQS, TDQS# for the x8 configuration,
when enabled).
ODT is designed to improve signal integrity of the memory channel by enabling the DRAM controller to
independently turn on/off the DRAM＇s internal termination resistance for any grouping of DRAM devices. ODT is
not supported during DLL disable mode (simple functional representation shown below). The switch is enabled by
the internal ODT control logic, which uses the external ODT ball and other control information.

Switch

DM, TDQS
The switch is enabled by the internal ODT control logic, which uses the external ODT pin and other control
information. The value of RTT is determined by the settings of Mode Register bits. The ODT pin will be ignored if
the Mode Register MR1 and MR2 are programmed to disable ODT and in self-refresh mode.
z ODT Mode Register and ODT Truth Table
The ODT Mode is enabled if either of MR1 {A2, A6, A9} or MR2 {A9, A10} are non-zero. In this case, the value of
RTT is determined by the settings of those bits.
Application: Controller sends WR command together with ODT asserted.
One possible application: The rank that is being written to provides termination.
DRAM turns ON termination if it sees ODT asserted (except ODT is disabled by MR)
DRAM does not use any write or read command decode information.

z Synchronous ODT Mode
Synchronous ODT mode is selected whenever the DLL is turned on and locked. Based on the power-down
definition, these modes are:
- Any bank active with CKE high
- Refresh with CKE high
- Idle mode with CKE high
- Active power down mode (regardless of MR0 bit A12)
- Precharge power down mode if DLL is enabled during precharge power down by MR0 bit A12
The direct ODT feature is not supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must be disabled by
continuously registering the ODT pin low and/or by programming the RTT_Nom bits MR1{A9,A6,A2} to {0,0,0} via a
mode register set command during DLL-off mode.
In synchronous ODT mode, RTT will be turned on ODTLon clock cycles after ODT is sampled high by a rising clock
edge and turned off ODTLoff clock cycles after ODT is registered low by a rising clock edge. The ODT latency is
tied to the write latency (WL) by: ODTLon = WL - 2; ODTLoff = WL-2.
z ODT Latency and Posted ODT
In synchronous ODT Mode, the Additive Latency (AL) programmed into the Mode Register (MR1) also applies to
the ODT signal. The DRAM internal ODT signal is delayed for a number of clock cycles defined by the Additive
Latency (AL) relative to the external ODT signal. ODTLon = CWL + AL - 2; ODTLoff = CWL + AL - 2. For details,
refer to DDR3L SDRAM latency definitions.

z Timing Parameters
In synchronous ODT mode, the following timing parameters apply: ODTLon, ODTLoff, tAON min/max, tAOF
min/max.
Minimum RTT turn-on time (tAON min) is the point in time when the device leaves high impedance and ODT
resistance begins to turn on. Maximum RTT turn-on time (tAON max) is the point in time when the ODT resistance
is fully on. Both are measured from ODTLon.
Minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOF min) is the point in time when the device starts to turn off the ODT resistance.
Maximum RTT turn off time (tAOF max) is the point in time when the on-die termination has reached high
impedance. Both are measured from ODTLoff.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain high until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a Write command is registered by the
SDRAM with ODT high, then ODT must remain high until ODTH4 (BL=4) or ODTH8 (BL=8) after the write
command. ODTH4 and ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered high to ODT registered low or from the
registration of a write command until ODT is registered low.
z ODT during Reads
As the DDR3L SDRAM cannot terminate and drive at the same time, RTT must be disabled at least half a clock
cycle before the read preamble by driving the ODT pin low appropriately. RTT may not be enabled until the end of
the post-amble as shown in the following figure. DRAM turns on the termination when it stops driving which is
determined by tHZ. If DRAM stops driving early (i.e. tHZ is early), then tAONmin time may apply. If DRAM stops
driving late (i.e. tHZ is late), then DRAM complies with tAONmax timing. Note that ODT may be disabled earlier
before the Read and enabled later after the Read than shown in this example.

z Dynamic ODT
In certain application cases and to further enhance signal integrity on the data bus, it is desirable that the
termination strength of the DDR3L SDRAM can be changed without issuing an MRS command. This requirement is
supported by the “Dynamic ODT” feature as described as follows:
Functional Description
The Dynamic ODT Mode is enabled if bit (A9) or (A10) of MR2 is set to ‘1’. The function is described as follows:
Two RTT values are available: RTT_Nom and RTT_WR.
- The value for RTT_Nom is preselected via bits A[9,6,2] in MR1.
- The value for RTT_WR is preselected via bits A[10,9] in MR2.
During operation without write commands, the termination is controlled as follows:
- Nominal termination strength RTT_Nom is selected.
- Termination on/off timing is controlled via ODT pin and latencies ODTLon and ODTLoff.
When a Write command (WR, WRA, WRS4, WRS8, WRAS4, WRAS8) is registered, and if Dynamic ODT is
enabled, the termination is controlled as follows:
- A latency ODTLcnw after the write command, termination strength RTT_WR is selected.
- A latency ODTLcwn8 (for BL8, fixed by MRS or selected OTF) or ODTLcwn4 (for BC4, fixed by MRS or selected
OTF) after the write command, termination strength RTT_Nom is selected.
- Termination on/off timing is controlled via ODT pin and ODTLon, ODTLoff.
The following table shows latencies and timing parameters which are relevant for the on-die termination control in
Dynamic ODT mode.
The dynamic ODT feature is not supported at DLL-off mode. User must use MRS command to set RTT_WR, MR2
[A10,A9 = [0,0], to disable Dynamic ODT externally.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain high until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a Write command is registered by the
SDRAM with ODT high, then ODT must remain high until ODTH4 (BL=4) or ODTH8 (BL=8) after the Write
command. ODTH4 and ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered high to ODT registered low or from the
registration of Write command until ODT is register low.

z Asynchronous ODT Mode
Asynchronous ODT mode is selected when DRAM runs in DLLon mode, but DLL is temporarily disabled (i.e. frozen)
in precharge power-down (by MR0 bit A12). Based on the power down mode definitions, this is currently Precharge
power down mode if DLL is disabled during precharge power down by MR0 bit A12.
In asynchronous ODT timing mode, internal ODT command is NOT delayed by Additive Latency (AL) relative to the
external ODT command.
In asynchronous ODT mode, the following timing parameters apply: tAONPD min/max, tAOFPD min/max.
Minimum RTT turn-on time (tAONPD min) is the point in time when the device termination circuit leaves high
impedance state and ODT resistance begins to turn on. Maximum RTT turn on time (tAONPD max) is the point in
time when the ODT resistance is fully on.
tAONPDmin and tAONPDmax are measured from ODT being sampled high.
Minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOFPDmin) is the point in time when the devices termination circuit starts to turn off
the ODT resistance. Maximum ODT turn off time (tAOFPDmax) is the point in time when the on-die termination has
reached high impedance. tAOFPDmin and tAOFPDmax are measured from ODT being sample low.

z Synchronous to Asynchronous ODT Mode Transition during Power-Down Entry
If DLL is selected to be frozen in Precharge Power Down Mode by the setting of bit A12 in MR0 to “0”, there is a
transition period around power down entry, where the DDR3L SDRAM may show either synchronous or
asynchronous ODT behavior.
The transition period is defined by the parameters tANPD and tCPDED(min). tANPD is equal to (WL-1) and is
counted backwards in time from the clock cycle where CKE is first registered low. tCPDED(min) starts with the
clock cycle where CKE is first registered low. The transition period begins with the starting point of tANPD and
terminates at the end point of tCPDED(min). If there is a Refresh command in progress while CKE goes low, then
the transition period ends at the later one of tRFC(min) after the Refresh command and the end point of
tCPDED(min). Please note that the actual starting point at tANPD is excluded from the transition period, and the
actual end point at tCPDED(min) and tRFC(min, respectively, are included in the transition period.
ODT assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT changes as early as the smaller of tAONPDmin and
(ODTLon*tck+tAONmin) and as late as the larger of tAONPDmax and (ODTLon*tCK+tAONmax). ODT de-assertion
during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAOFPDmin and
(ODTLoff*tCK+tAOFmin) and as late as the larger of tAOFPDmax and (ODTLoff*tCK+tAOFmax). Note that, if AL
has a large value, the range where RTT is uncertain becomes quite large. The following figure shows the three
different cases: ODT_A, synchronous behavior before tANPD; ODT_B has a state change during the transition
period; ODT_C shows a state change after the transition period.
z Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode transition during Power-Down Exit
If DLL is selected to be frozen in Precharge Power Down Mode by the setting of bit A12 in MR0 to “0”, there is also
a transition period around power down exit, where either synchronous or asynchronous response to a change in
ODT must be expected from the DDR3L SDRAM.
This transition period starts tANPD before CKE is first registered high, and ends tXPDLL after CKE is first registered
high. tANPD is equal to (WL -1) and is counted (backwards) from the clock cycle where CKE is first registered high.
ODT assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAONPDmin and
(ODTLon* tCK+tAONmin) and as late as the larger of tAONPDmax and (ODTLon*tCK+tAONmax). ODT deassertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAOFPDmin and
(ODTLoff*tCK+tAOFmin) and as late as the larger of tAOFPDmax and (ODToff*tCK+tAOFmax). Note that if AL has
a large value, the range where RTT is uncertain becomes quite large. The following figure shows the three different
cases: ODT_C, asynchronous response before tANPD; ODT_B has a state change of ODT during the transition
period; ODT_A shows a state change of ODT after the transition period with synchronous response.
z Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode during short CKE high and short CKE low periods
If the total time in Precharge Power Down state or Idle state is very short, the transition periods for PD entry and PD
exit may overlap. In this case, the response of the DDR3L SDRAMs RTT to a change in ODT state at the input may
be synchronous or asynchronous from the state of the PD entry transition period to the end of the PD exit transition
period (even if the entry ends later than the exit period).
If the total time in Idle state is very short, the transition periods for PD exit and PD entry may overlap. In this case,
the response of the DDR3L SDRAMs RTT to a change in ODT state at the input may be synchronous or
asynchronous from the state of the PD exit transition period to the end of the PD entry transition period. Note that in
the following figure, it is assumed that there was no Refresh command in progress when Idle state was entered.

ZQ Calibration Commands
z ZQ Calibration Description
ZQ Calibration command is used to calibrate DRAM Ron and ODT values. DDR3L SDRAM needs longer time to
calibrate output driver and on-die termination circuits at initialization and relatively smaller time to perform periodic
calibrations.
ZQCL command is used to perform the initial calibration during power-up initialization sequence. This command
may be issued at any time by the controller depending on the system environment. ZQCL command triggers the
calibration engine inside the DRAM and once calibration is achieved the calibrated values are transferred from
calibration engine to DRAM IO which gets reflected as updated output driver and on-die termination values.
The first ZQCL command issued after reset is allowed a timing period of tZQinit to perform the full calibration and
the transfer of values. All other ZQCL commands except the first ZQCL command issued after RESET is allowed a
timing period of tZQoper.
ZQCS command is used to perform periodic calibrations to account for voltage and temperature variations. A
shorter timing window is provided to perform the calibration and transfer of values as defined by timing parameter
tZQCS.
No other activities should be performed on the DRAM channel by the controller for the duration of tZQinit, tZQoper,
or tZQCS. The quiet time on the DRAM channel allows calibration of output driver and on-die termination values.
Once DRAM calibration is achieved, the DRAM should disable ZQ current consumption path to reduce power.
All banks must be precharged and tRP met before ZQCL or ZQCS commands are issued by the controller.
ZQ calibration commands can also be issued in parallel to DLL lock time when coming out of self refresh. Upon
self-refresh exit, DDR3/L SDRAM will not perform an IO calibration without an explicit ZQ calibration command. The
earliest possible time for ZQ Calibration command (short or long) after self refresh exit is tXS.
In systems that share the ZQ resistor between devices, the controller must not allow any overlap of tZQoper, tZQinit,
or tZQCS between ranks.

- Single-ended requirements for differential signals
Each individual component of a differential signal (CK, CK#, DQS, DQS#) has also to comply with certain
requirements for single-ended signals.
CK and CK# have to approximately reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately equal to the ac-levels (VIH(ac) /
VIL(ac)) for ADD/CMD signals) in every half-cycle. DQS, DQS# have to reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately
the ac-levels (VIH(ac) / VIL(ac)) for DQ signals) in every half-cycle proceeding and following a valid transition.
Note that the applicable ac-levels for ADD/CMD and DQ’s might be different per speed-bin etc. E.g., if
VIH150(ac)/VIL150(ac) is used for ADD/CMD signals, then these ac-levels apply also for the single-ended signals
CK and CK#.

ac-high or ac-low level is used for a signal group, then the reduced level applies also here.
NOTE 3: These values are not defined, however the single-ended signals CK, CK#, DQS, DQS# need to be within the
respective limits (VIH(dc) max, VIL(dc)min) for single-ended signals as well as the limitations for overshoot and
undershoot.
- Differential Input Cross Point Voltage
To guarantee tight setup and hold times as well as output skew parameters with respect to clock and strobe, each
cross point voltage of differential input signals (CK, CK# and DQS, DQS#) must meet the requirements in the
following table. The differential input cross point voltage Vix is measured from the actual cross point of true and
complete signal to the midlevel between of VDD and VSS.

z Reference Load for AC Timing and Output Slew Rate
The following figure represents the effective reference load of 25 ohms used in defining the relevant AC timing
parameters of the device as well as output slew rate measurements.
It is not intended as a precise representation of any particular system environment or a depiction of the actual load
presented by a production tester. System designers should use IBIS or other simulation tools to correlate the timing
reference load to a system environment. Manufacturers correlate to their production test conditions, generally one
or more coaxial transmission lines terminated at the tester electronics.

- Address / Command Setup, Hold and Derating
For all input signals the total tIS (setup time) and tIH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the data sheet
tIS(base) and tIH(base) and tIH(base) value to the delta tIS and delta tIH derating value respectively.
Example: tIS (total setup time) = tIS(base) + delta tIS.
Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of Vref(dc) and
the first crossing of VIH(ac)min. Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between
the last crossing of Vref(dc) and the first crossing of VIL(ac)max. If the actual signal is always earlier than the
nominal slew rate line between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual
signal is later than the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, the slew rate of the
tangent line to the actual signal from the ac level to dc level is used for derating value.
Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIL(dc)max
and the first crossing of Vref(dc). Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between
the last crossing of VIH(dc)min and the first crossing of Vref(dc). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal
slew rate line between shaded ‘dc to Vref(dc) region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is
earlier than the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘dc to Vref(dc) region’, the slew rate of a tangent
line to the actual signal from the dc level to Vref(dc) level is used for derating value. For a valid transition the input
signal has to remain above/below VIH/IL(ac) for some time tVAC. Although for slow slew rates the total setup time
might be negative (i.e. a valid input signal will not have reached VIH/IL(ac) at the time of the rising clock transition) a
valid input signal is still required to complete the transition and reach VIH/IL(ac).

- Data Setup, Hold, and Slew Rate De-rating
For all input signals the total tDS (setup time) and tDH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the data sheet
tDS(base) and tDH(base) value to the ΔtDS and ΔtDH derating value respectively.
Example: tDS (total setup time) = tDS(base) + ΔtDS.
Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of Vref(dc)
and the first crossing of VIH(ac)min. Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate
between the last crossing of Vref(dc) and the first crossing of VIL(ac)max. If the actual signal is always earlier than
the nominal slew rate line between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the
actual signal is later than the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, the slew rate
of the tangent line to the actual signal from the ac level to dc level is used for derating value. Hold (tDH) nominal
slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIL(dc)max and the first
crossing of Vref(dc). Hold (tDH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of VIH(dc)min and the first crossing of Vref(dc). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew
rate line between shaded ‘dc level to Vref(dc) region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is
earlier than the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘dc to Vref(dc) region’, the slew rate of a tangent
line to the actual signal from the dc level to Vref(dc) level is used for derating value.
For a valid transition the input signal has to remain above/below VIH/IL(ac) for some time tVAC.
Although for slow slew rates the total setup time might be negative (i.e. a valid input signal will not have reached
VIH/IL(ac) at the time of the rising clock transition) a valid input signal is still required to complete the transition and
reach VIH/IL(ac).
For slew rates in between the values listed in the following tables, the derating values may be obtained by linear
interpolation.
These values are typically not subject to production test. They are verified by design and characterization.
