Pin Function
CLK (input pin)
CLK is the master clock input. Other inputs signals are referenced to the CLK rising edge.
CKE (input pins)
CKE determine validity of the next CLK (clock). If CKE is high, the next CLK rising edge is valid; otherwise it is
invalid. If the CLK rising edge is invalid, the internal clock is not issued and the Synchronous DRAM suspends
operation.
When the Synchronous DRAM is not in burst mode and CKE is negated, the device enters power down mode.
During power down mode, CKE must remain low.
EO
/CS (input pins)
/CS low starts the command input cycle. When /CS is high, commands are ignored but operations continue.
/RAS, /CAS, and /WE (input pins)
/RAS, /CAS and /WE have the same symbols on conventional DRAM but different functions. For details, refer to the
command table.
L
A0 to A11 (input pins)
Row Address is determined by A0 to A11 at the CLK (clock) rising edge in the active command cycle.
Column Address is determined by A0 to A7 at the CLK rising edge in the read or write command cycle.
A10 defines the precharge mode. When A10 is high in the precharge command cycle, all banks are precharged;
when A10 is low, only the bank selected by BA0 and BA1 is precharged.
When A10 is high in read or write command cycle, the precharge starts automatically after the burst access.

Pr
BA0 and BA1 (input pin)
BA0 and BA1 are bank select signal. (See Bank Select Signal Table)
DQ0 to DQ31 (input/output pins)
DQ pins have the same function as I/O pins on a conventional DRAM.
t
uc
DQM (input pins)
DQM controls I/O buffers. DQM0 controls DQ0 to DQ7, DQM1 controls DQ8 to DQ15, DQM2 controls DQ16 to
DQ23, DQM3 controls DQ24 to DQ31. In read mode, DQM controls the output buffers like a conventional /OE pin.
DQM high and DQM low turn the output buffers off and on, respectively. The DQM latency for the read is two clocks.
In write mode, DQM controls the word mask. Input data is written to the memory cell if DQM is low but not if DQM is
high. The DQM latency for the write is zero.
VDD, VSS, VDDQ, VSSQ (Power supply)
VDD and VSS are power supply pins for internal circuits. VDDQ and VSSQ are power supply pins for the output
buffers.

Device deselect command [DESL]
When this command is set (/CS is High), the SDRAM ignore command input at the clock. However, the internal
status is held.
Pr
No operation [NOP]
This command is not an execution command. However, the internal operations continue.
Burst stop command [BST]
This command can stop the current burst operation.
od
Column address strobe and read command [READ]
This command starts a read operation. In addition, the start address of burst read is determined by the column
address (see Address Pins Table in Pin Function) and the bank select address (BA0, BA1). After the read operation,
the output buffer becomes High-Z.
Read with auto-precharge [READA]
This command automatically performs a precharge operation after a burst read with a burst length of 1, 2, 4 or 8.
t
uc
Column address strobe and write command [WRIT]
This command starts a write operation. When the burst write mode is selected, the column address (see Address
Pins Table in Pin Function) and the bank select address (BA0, BA1) become the burst write start address. When the
single write mode is selected, data is only written to the location specified by the column address (see Address Pins
Table in Pin Function) and the bank select address (BA0, BA1).
Write with auto-precharge [WRITA]
This command automatically performs a precharge operation after a burst write with a length of 1, 2, 4 or 8, or after a
single write operation.

This command starts the refresh operation. There are two types of refresh operation, the one is auto-refresh, and
the other is self-refresh. For details, refer to the CKE truth table section.
L
Mode register set [MRS]
The SDRAM has a mode register that defines how it operates. The mode register is specified by the address pins
(A0 to BA0 and BA1) at the mode register set cycle. For details, refer to the mode register configuration. After
power on, the contents of the mode register are undefined, execute the mode register set command to set up the
mode register.

Clock suspend mode entry
The SDRAM enters clock suspend mode from active mode by setting CKE to Low. If command is input in the clock
suspend mode entry cycle, the command is valid. The clock suspend mode changes depending on the current
status (1 clock before) as shown below.
ACTIVE clock suspend
This suspend mode ignores inputs after the next clock by internally maintaining the bank active status.
READ suspend and READ with Auto-precharge suspend
The data being output is held (and continues to be output).
WRITE suspend and WRIT with Auto-precharge suspend
In this mode, external signals are not accepted. However, the internal state is held.
EO
Clock suspend
During clock suspend mode, keep the CKE to Low.
Clock suspend mode exit
The SDRAM exits from clock suspend mode by setting CKE to High during the clock suspend state.
L
IDLE
In this state, all banks are not selected, and completed precharge operation.
Pr
Auto-refresh command [REF]
When this command is input from the IDLE state, the SDRAM starts auto-refresh operation. (The auto-refresh is the
same as the CBR refresh of conventional DRAMs.) During the auto-refresh operation, refresh address and bank
select address are generated inside the SDRAM. For every auto-refresh cycle, the internal address counter is
updated. Accordingly, 4096 times are required to refresh the entire memory. Before executing the auto-refresh
command, all the banks must be in the IDLE state. In addition, since the precharge for all banks is automatically
performed after auto-refresh, no precharge command is required after auto-refresh.
od
Self-refresh entry [SELF]
When this command is input during the IDLE state, the SDRAM starts self-refresh operation. After the execution of
this command, self-refresh continues while CKE is Low. Since self-refresh is performed internally and automatically,
external refresh operations are unnecessary.
Power down mode entry
When this command is executed during the IDLE state, the SDRAM enters power down mode. In power down
mode, power consumption is suppressed by cutting off the initial input circuit.
t
uc
Self-refresh exit
When this command is executed during self-refresh mode, the SDRAM can exit from self-refresh mode. After exiting
from self-refresh mode, the SDRAM enters the IDLE state.
Power down exit
When this command is executed at the power down mode, the SDRAM can exit from power down mode. After
exiting from power down mode, the SDRAM enters the IDLE state.

Mode Register Configuration
The mode register is set by the input to the address pins (A0 to A11, BA0 and BA1) during mode register set cycles.
The mode register consists of five sections, each of which is assigned to address pins.
BA1, BA0, A8, A9, A10, A11: (OPCODE): The SDRAM has two types of write modes. One is the burst write mode,
and the other is the single write mode. These bits specify write mode.
Burst read and burst write: Burst write is performed for the specified burst length starting from the column address
specified in the write cycle.
Burst read and single write: Data is only written to the column address specified during the write cycle, regardless of
the burst length.
EO
A7: Keep this bit Low at the mode register set cycle. If this pin is high, the vender test mode is set.
A6, A5, A4: (LMODE): These pins specify the /CAS latency.
A3: (BT): A burst type is specified.
A2, A1, A0: (BL): These pins specify the burst length.

Burst Sequence
L
Full page burst is available only for sequential addressing. The addressing sequence is started from the column
address that is asserted by read/write command. And the address is increased one by one.
It is back to the address 0 when the address reaches at the end of address 255. “Full page burst” stops the burst
read/write with burst stop command.

Power-up Sequence
Power-up sequence
The SDRAM should be goes on the following sequence with power up.
The CLK, CKE, /CS, DQM and DQ pins keep low till power stabilizes.
The CLK pin is stabilized within 100 µs after power stabilizes before the following initialization sequence.
The CKE and DQM is driven to high between power stabilizes and the initialization sequence.
This SDRAM has VDD clamp diodes for CLK, CKE, address, /RAS, /CAS, /WE, /CS, DQM and DQ pins. If these
pins go high before power up, the large current flows from these pins to VDD through the diodes.
Initialization sequence
EO
When 200 µs or more has past after the above power-up sequence, all banks must be precharged using the
precharge command (PALL). After tRP delay, set 8 or more auto refresh commands (REF). Set the mode register
set command (MRS) to initialize the mode register. We recommend that by keeping DQM and CKE to High, the
output buffer becomes High-Z during Initialization sequence, to avoid DQ bus contention on memory system formed
with a number of device.

Operation of the SDRAM
Read/Write Operations
Bank active
Before executing a read or write operation, the corresponding bank and the row address must be activated by the
bank active (ACT) command. An interval of tRCD is required between the bank active command input and the
following read/write command input.
EO
Read operation
A read operation starts when a read command is input. Output buffer becomes Low-Z in the (/CAS Latency - 1)
cycle after read command set. The SDRAM can perform a burst read operation.
The burst length can be set to 1, 2, 4 and 8. The start address for a burst read is specified by the column address
and the bank select address at the read command set cycle. In a read operation, data output starts after the number
of clocks specified by the /CAS Latency. The /CAS Latency can be set to 2 or 3.
When the burst length is 1, 2, 4 and 8 the DOUT buffer automatically becomes High-Z at the next clock after the
successive burst-length data has been output.
The /CAS latency and burst length must be specified at the mode register.

Write operation
Burst write or single write mode is selected by the OPCODE of the mode register.
1. Burst write: A burst write operation is enabled by setting OPCODE (A9, A8) to (0, 0). A burst write starts in the
same clock as a write command set. (The latency of data input is 0 clock.) The burst length can be set to 1, 2, 4
and 8, like burst read operations. The write start address is specified by the column address and the bank select
address at the write command set cycle.

When the precharge command is executed for the same bank as the read command that preceded it, the minimum

clocks defined by lHZP, there is a case of interruption to burst read data output will be interrupted, if the precharge

DQM Control
The DQM mask the DQ data. The UDQM and LDQM mask the upper and lower bytes of the DQ data, respectively.
The timing of UDQM/LDQM is different during reading and writing.
Reading
When data is read, the output buffer can be controlled by DQM. By setting DQM to Low, the output buffer becomes
Low-Z, enabling data output. By setting DQM to High, the output buffer becomes High-Z, and the corresponding
data is not output. However, internal reading operations continue. The latency of DQM during reading is 2 clocks.
Writing
Input data can be masked by DQM. By setting DQM to Low, data can be written. In addition, when DQM is set to
High, the corresponding data is not written, and the previous data is held. The latency of DQM during writing is 0
clock.

Refresh
Auto-refresh
All the banks must be precharged before executing an auto-refresh command. Since the auto-refresh command
updates the internal counter every time it is executed and determines the banks and the ROW addresses to be
refreshed, external address specification is not required. The refresh cycles are required to refresh all the ROW
addresses within tREF (max.). The output buffer becomes High-Z after auto-refresh start. In addition, since a
precharge has been completed by an internal operation after the auto-refresh, an additional precharge operation by
the precharge command is not required.
EO
Self-refresh
After executing a self-refresh command, the self-refresh operation continues while CKE is held Low. During selfrefresh operation, all ROW addresses are refreshed by the internal refresh timer. A self-refresh is terminated by a
self-refresh exit command. Before and after self-refresh mode, execute auto-refresh to all refresh addresses in or
within tREF (max.) period on the condition 1 and 2 below.
1. Enter self-refresh mode within time as below* after either burst refresh or distributed refresh at equal interval to
all refresh addresses are completed.
2. Start burst refresh or distributed refresh at equal interval to all refresh addresses within time as below*after
exiting from self-refresh mode.
Note: tREF (max.) / refresh cycles.
Others
L
Power-down mode
The SDRAM enters power-down mode when CKE goes Low in the IDLE state. In power down mode, power
consumption is suppressed by deactivating the input initial circuit. Power down mode continues while CKE is held
Low. In addition, by setting CKE to High, the SDRAM exits from the power down mode, and command input is
enabled from the next clock. In this mode, internal refresh is not performed.
t
uc
od
Pr
Clock suspend mode
By driving CKE to Low during a bank active or read/write operation, the SDRAM enters clock suspend mode. During
clock suspend mode, external input signals are ignored and the internal state is maintained. When CKE is driven
High, the SDRAM terminates clock suspend mode, and command input is enabled from the next clock. For details,
refer to the "CKE Truth Table".

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.
EO
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.
L
3
STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Pr
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.
