*All AC parameters are measured from half to half.
Note : 1. Parameters depend on programmed CAS latency.
2. If clock rising time is longer than 1ns, (tr/2-0.5)ns should be added to the parameter.
3. Assumed input rise and fall time (tr & tf) = 1ns.
If tr & tf is longer than 1ns, transient time compensation should be considered,
i.e., [(tr + tf)/2-1]ns should be added to the parameter.

2. MRS can be issued only when all banks are at precharge state.
A new command can be issued after 2 clock cycle of MRS.
3. Auto refresh functions as same as CBR refresh of DRAM.
The automatical precharge without Row precharge command is meant by “Auto”.
Auto/Self refresh can be issued only when all banks are at precharge state.
4. BS0, BS1 : Bank select address.
If both BS1 and BS0 are “Low” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank A is selected.
If both BS1 is “Low” and BS0 is “High” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank B is selected.
If both BS1 is “High” and BS0 is “Low” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank C is selected.
If both BS1 and BS0 are “High” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank D is selected.
If A10/AP is “High” at row precharge, BS1 and BS0 is ignored and all banks are selected.
5. During burst read or write with auto precharge, new read/write command cannot be issued.
Another bank read/write command can be issued at every burst length.
6. DQM sampled at positive going edge of a CLK masks the data-in at the very CLK (Write DQM latency is 0)
but masks the data-out Hi-Z state after 2 CLK cycles. (Read DQM latency is 2)

command decoder so that RAS , CAS and WE , and all
the address inputs are ignored.
Clock (CLK)
Power-Up
The clock input is used as the reference for all SDRAM
operations. All operations are synchronized to the positive
going edge of the clock. The clock transitions must be
monotonic between VIL and VIH. During operation with CKE
high all inputs are assumed to be in valid state (low or high)
for the duration of set up and hold time around positive edge
of the clock for proper functionality and ICC specifications.
The following sequence is recommended for POWER UP
1. Power must be applied to either CKE and DQM inputs to
pull them high and other pins are NOP condition at the
inputs before or along with VDD (and VDDQ) supply.
The clock signal must also be asserted at the same time.
2. After VDD reaches the desired voltage, a minimum pause
of 200 microseconds is required with inputs in NOP
condition.
3. Both banks must be precharged now.
4. Perform a minimum of 2 Auto refresh cycles to stabilize
the internal circuitry.
5. Perform a MODE REGISTER SET cycle to program the
CAS latency, burst length and burst type as the default
value of mode register is undefined.
At the end of one clock cycle from the mode register set
cycle, the device is ready for operation.
When the above sequence is used for Power-up, all the
out-puts will be in high impedance state. The high
impedance of outputs is not guaranteed in any other
power-up sequence.
Clock Enable (CKE)
The clock enable (CKE) gates the clock onto SDRAM. If CKE
goes low synchronously with clock (set-up and hold time
same as other inputs), 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. All other
inputs are ignored from the next clock cycle after CKE goes
low. When all banks are in the idle state and CKE goes low
synchronously with clock, the SDRAM enters the power
down mode from the next clock cycle. The SDRAM remains
in the power down mode ignoring the other inputs as long as
CKE remains low. The power down exit is synchronous as
the internal clock is suspended. When CKE goes high at
least “tSS + 1 CLOCK” before the high going edge of the
clock, then the SDRAM becomes active from the same clock
edge accepting all the input commands.
Mode Register Set (MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various
operation modes of SDRAM. It programs the CAS latency,
addressing mode, burst length, test mode and various
vendor specific options to make SDRAM useful for variety of
different applications. The default value of the mode register
is not defined, therefore the mode register must be written
after power up to operate the SDRAM. The mode register is
written by asserting low on CS , RAS , CAS , WE (The
SDRAM should be in active mode with CKE already high
prior to writing the mode register). The state of address pins
A0~A11, BS0 and BS1 in the same cycle as
CS , RAS , CAS , WE going low is the data written in the
mode register. One clock cycle is required to complete the
write in the mode register. The mode register contents can
be changed using the same command and clock cycle
requirements during operation as long as all banks are in the
idle state. The mode register is divided into various fields
depending on functionality. The burst length field uses
A0~A2, burst type uses A3, addressing mode uses A4~A6,
A7~A8, A11,A12, BS0 and BS1 are used for vendor specific
options or test mode. And the write burst length is
programmed using A9. A7~A8, A11,A12, BS0 and BS1 must
be set to low for normal SDRAM operation.
Refer to table for specific codes for various burst length,
addressing modes and CAS latencies.
Bank Select (BS0, BS1)
This SDRAM is organized as 4 independent banks of
4,194,304 words X 16 bits memory arrays. The BS0, BS1
inputs is latched at the time of assertion of RAS and CAS
to select the bank to be used for the operation. The bank
select BS0, BS1 is latched at bank activate, read, write mode
register set and precharge operations.
Address Input (A0 ~ A12)
The 22 address bits required to decode the 4,194,304 word
locations are multiplexed into 13 address input pins
(A0~A12). The 13 bit row address is latched along with
RAS , BS0 and BS1 during bank activate command. The 9
bit column address is latched along with CAS , WE , BS0
and BS1during read or write command.
NOP and Device Deselect
When RAS , CAS and WE are high, the SDRAM performs
no operation (NOP). NOP does not initiate any new
operation, but is needed to complete operations which
require more than single clock like bank activate, burst read,
auto refresh, etc. The device deselect is also a NOP and is
entered by asserting CS high. CS high disables the

Device Operations (continued)
Bank Activate
Burst Write
The bank activate command is used to select a random row
in an idle bank. By asserting low on RAS and CS with
desired row and bank addresses, a row access is initiated.
The read or write operation can occur after a time delay of
tRCD(min) from the time of bank activation. tRCD(min) is an
internal timing parameter of SDRAM, therefore it is
dependent on operating clock frequency. The minimum
number of clock cycles required between bank activate and
read or write command should be calculated by dividing
tRCD(min) with cycle time of the clock and then rounding off
the result to the next higher integer. The SDRAM has 4
internal banks on the same chip and shares part of the
internal circuitry to reduce chip area, therefore it restricts the
activation of all banks simultaneously. Also the noise
generated during sensing of each bank of SDRAM is high
requiring some time for power supplies to recover before the
other bank can be sensed reliably. tRRD(min) specifies the
minimum time required between activating different banks.
The number of clock cycles required between different bank
activation must be calculated similar to tRCD specification.
The minimum time required for the bank to be active to
initiate sensing and restoring the complete row of dynamic
cells is determined by tRAS(min) specification before a
precharge command to that active bank can be asserted.
The maximum time any bank can be in the active state is
determined by tRAS(max). The number of cycles for both
tRAS(min) and tRAS(max) can be calculated similar to tRCD
specification.
The burst write command is similar to burst read command,
and is used to write data into the SDRAM consecutive clock
cycles in adjacent addresses depending on burst length and
burst sequence. By asserting low on CS , CAS and WE
with valid column address, a write burst is initiated. The data
inputs are provided for the initial address in the same clock
cycle as the burst write command. The input buffer is
deselected at the end of the burst length, even though the
internal writing may not have been completed yet. The burst
write can be terminated by issuing a burst read and DQM for
blocking data inputs or burst write in the same or the other
active bank. The burst stop command is valid only at full
page burst length where the writing continues at the end of
burst and the burst is wrap around. The write burst can also
be terminated by using DQM for blocking data and
precharging the bank “tRDL” after the last data input to be
written into the active row. See DQM OPERATION also.
DQM Operation
The DQM is used to mask input and output operation. It
works similar to OE during read operation and inhibits writing
during write operation. The read latency is two cycles from
DQM and zero cycle for write, which means DQM masking
occurs two cycles later in the read cycle and occurs in the
same cycle during write cycle. DQM operation is
synchronous with the clock, therefore the masking occurs for
a complete cycle. The DQM signal is important during burst
interrupts of write with read or precharge in the SDRAM. Due
to asynchronous nature of the internal write, the DQM
operation is critical to avoid unwanted or incomplete writes
when the complete burst write is not required.
Burst Read
The burst read command is used to access burst of data on
consecutive clock cycles from an active row in an active
bank. The burst read command is issued by asserting low on
Precharge
CS and CAS with WE being high on the positive edge of
The precharge operation is performed on an active bank by
the clock. The bank must be active for at least tRCD(min)
before the burst read command is issued. The first output
appears CAS latency number of clock cycles after the issue
of burst read command. The burst length, burst sequence
and latency from the burst read command is determined by
the mode register which is already programmed. The burst
read can be initiated on any column address of the active
row. The address wraps around if the initial address does not
start from a boundary such that number of outputs from each
I/O are equal to the burst length programmed in the mode
register. The output goes into high-impedance at the end of
the burst, unless a new burst read was initiated to keep the
data output gapless. The burst read can be terminated by
issuing another burst read or burst write in the same bank or
the other active bank or a precharge command to the same
bank. The burst stop command is valid at every page burst
length.
asserting low on CS , RAS , WE and A10/AP with valid BA
of the bank to be precharged. The precharge command can
be asserted anytime after tRAS(min) is satisfied from the bank
activate command in the desired bank. “tRP” is defined as the
minimum time required to precharge a bank.
The minimum number of clock cycles required to complete
row precharge is calculated by dividing “tRP” with clock cycle
time and rounding up to the next higher integer. Care should
be taken to make sure that burst write is completed or DQM
is used to inhibit writing before precharge command is
asserted. The maximum time any bank can be active is
specified by tRAS(max). Therefore, each bank has to be
precharged within tRAS(max) from the bank activate
command. At the end of precharge, the bank enters the idle
state and is ready to be activated again.
Entry to Power Down, Auto refresh, Self refresh and Mode
register Set etc, is possible only when both banks are in idle
state.

Device Operations (continued)
required to complete the auto refresh operation is specified
by “tRC(min)”. The minimum number of clock cycles required
can be calculated by driving “tRC” with clock cycle time and
then rounding up to the next higher integer. The auto refresh
command must be followed by NOP’s until the auto refresh
operation is completed. Both banks will be in the idle state at
the end of auto refresh operation. The auto refresh is the
preferred refresh mode when the SDRAM is being used for
normal data transactions. The auto refresh cycle can be
performed once in 15.6us or a burst of 8192 auto refresh
cycles once in 64ms.
Auto Precharge
The precharge operation can also be performed by using
auto precharge. The SDRAM internally generates the timing
to satisfy tRAS(min) and “tRP” for the programmed burst length
and CAS latency. The auto precharge command is issued at
the same time as burst read or burst write by asserting high
on A10/AP. If burst read or burst write command is issued
with low on A10/AP, the bank is left active until a new
command is asserted. Once auto precharge command is
given, no new commands are possible to that particular bank
until the bank achieves idle state.
Self Refresh
Four Banks Precharge
The self refresh is another refresh mode available in the
SDRAM. The self refresh is the preferred refresh mode for
data retention and low power operation of SDRAM. In self
refresh mode, the SDRAM disables the internal clock and all
the input buffers except CKE. The refresh addressing and
timing is internally generated to reduce power consumption.
The self refresh mode is entered from all banks idle state by
asserting low on CS , RAS , CAS and CKE with high on
WE . Once the self refresh mode is entered, only CKE state
being low matters, all the other inputs including clock are
ignored to remain in the self refresh.
The self refresh is exited by restarting the external clock and
then asserting high on CKE. This must be followed by NOP’s
for a minimum time of “tRC” before the SDRAM reaches idle
state to begin normal operation. If the system uses burst auto
refresh during normal operation, it is recommended to used
burst 8192 auto refresh cycles immediately after exiting self
refresh.
All banks can be precharged at the same time by using
Precharge all command. Asserting low on CS , RAS and
WE with high on A10/AP after both banks have satisfied
tRAS(min) requirement, performs precharge on both banks. At
the end of tRP after performing precharge all, both banks are
in idle state.
Auto Refresh
The storage cells of SDRAM need to be refreshed every
64ms to maintain data. An auto refresh cycle accomplishes
refresh of a single row of storage cells. The internal counter
increments automatically on every auto refresh cycle to
refresh all the rows. An auto refresh command is issued by
asserting low on CS , RAS and CAS with high on CKE and
WE . The auto refresh command can only be asserted with
both banks being in idle state and the device is not in power
down mode (CKE is high in the previous cycle). The time

2. About the valid DQ’s after burst stop, it is same as the case of RAS interrupt.
Both cases are illustrated above timing diagram. See the label 1,2 on them.
But at burst write, burst stop and RAS interrupt should be compared carefully.
Refer the timing diagram of “Full page write burst stop cycle”.
3. Burst stop is valid at every burst length.

2. Data-in at the cycle of interrupted by precharge cannot be written into the corresponding memory cell.
It is defined by AC parameter of tRDL(=2CLK).
DQM at write interrupted by precharge command is needed to prevent invalid write.
DQM should mask invalid input data on precharge command cycle when asserting precharge before end of burst.
Input data after Row precharge cycle will be masked internally.
3. Burst stop is valid at every burst length.

Abbreviations : ABI = All Banks Idle
Note: 6. After CKE’s low to high transition to exit self refresh mode, a minimum of tRC(min) has to be elapse before issuing a
new command.
7. CKE low to high transition is asynchronous as if it restarts internal clock.
A minimum setup time “tSS + one clock” must be satisfied before any command can be issued other than exit.
8. Power-down and self refresh can be entered only when all the banks are in idle state.
9. Must be a legal command.
