INPUT/OUTPUT FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Symbol
Type
Function
Input
Clock: CK and CK are differential clock inputs. CMD, ADD inputs are sampled on the crossing of the 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 HIGH activates, and CKE Low deactivates, internal clock signals and device input buffers and output drivers. Taking CKE Low provides Precharge Power-Down and Self Refresh operation (all
banks idle), or Active Power-Down (row Active in any bank). CKE is synchronous for power down entry and
exit, and for self refresh entry. CKE is asynchronous for self refresh exit. CKE must be maintained high
throughout read and write accesses. Input buffers, excluding CK, CK and CKE are disabled during powerdown. Input buffers, excluding CKE, are disabled during self refresh.
CS
Input
Chip Select: All commands are masked when CS is registered HIGH. CS provides for external bank selection
on systems with multiple banks. CS is considered part of the command code.
RAS,
CAS, WE
Input
Command Inputs: RAS, CAS and WE (along with CS) define the command being entered.
DM0
~DM3
Input
Input Data Mask: DM is an input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked when DM is sampled HIGH
coincident with that input data during a Write access. DM is sampled on both edges of clock. Although DM
pins are input only, the DM loading matches the DQ and DQS loading.
BA0, BA1
Input
Bank Address Inputs: BA0 and BA1 define to which bank an Active, Read, Write or Precharge command is
being applied. BA0 also determines if the mode register or extended mode register is to be accessed during a
MRS or EMRS cycle.
A0 ~ A11
Input
Address Inputs: Provided the row address for Active commands and the column address and Auto Precharge bit for Read/Write commands to select one location out of the memory array in the respective bank. A8
is sampled during a Precharge command to determine whether the Precharge applies to one bank (A8 LOW)
or all banks (A8 HIGH). If only one bank is to be precharged, the bank is selected by BA0, BA1. The address
inputs also provide the op-code during Mode Register Set commands.
Row addresses : RA0 ~ RA11, Column addresses : CA0 ~ CA7, CA9 . Column address CA8 is used for auto
precharge.

INITIALIZATION
GDDR3 SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures other than
those specified may result in undefined operation.
1. Apply power and keep CKE/RESET at low state ( All other inputs may be undefined)
- Apply VDD and VDDQ simultaneously
- Apply VDDQ before Vref. ( Inputs are not recognized as valid until after VREF is applied )
2. Required minimum 100us for the stable power before RESET pin transition to HIGH
- Upon power-up the address/command active termination value will automatically be set based off the state of RESET and CKE.
- On the rising edge of RESET the CKE pin is latched to determine the address and command bus termination value.
If CKE is sampled at a zero the address termination is set to 1/2 of ZQ.
If CKE is sampled at a one the address termination is set to ZQ.
- RESET must be maintained at a logic LOW level and CS at a logic high value during power-up to ensure that the DQ outputs will
be in a High-Z state, all active terminators off, and all DLLs off.
4. Minimum 200us delay required prior to applying any executable command after stable power and clock.
5. Once the 200us delay has been satisfied, a DESELECT or NOP command should be applied, then RESET and CKE should be
brought to HIGH,
6. Issue a PRECHARGE ALL command following after NOP command.
7. Issue a dummy MRS command ("00001000100001")
8. Issue a EMRS command (BA1BA0="01") to enable the DLL.
9. Issue MRS command (BA0BA1 = "00") to reset the DLL and to program the operating parameters.
20K clock cycles are required to lock the DLL.
9. Issue a PRECHARGE ALL command
10 . Issue at least two AUTO refresh command to update the driver impedance and calibrate the output drivers.
Following these requirements, the GDDR3 SDRAM is ready for normal operation.

MODE REGISTER SET(MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of GDDR3 SDRAM. It programs CAS
latency, addressing mode, test mode and various vendor specific options to make GDDR3 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
EMRS setting for proper operation. The mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS and WE (The GDDR3
SDRAM should be in active mode with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register). The state of address pins
A0 ~ A11 and BA0, BA1 in the same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS and WE going low is written in the mode register. Minimum six
clock cycles are requested to complete the write operation 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 uses A0 ~ A2. CAS latency
(read latency from column address) uses A4 ~ A6. A7 is used for test mode. A8 is used for DLL reset. A9 ~ A11 are used
for Write latency. Refer to the table for specific codes for various addressing modes and CAS latencies.

PROGRAMMABLE IMPEDANCE OUTPUT BUFFER AND ACTIVE TERMINATOR
The GDDR3 SDRAM is equipped with programmable impedance output buffers and Active Terminators. This allows a user to match
the driver impedance to the system. To adjust the impedance, an external precision resistor(RQ) is connected between the ZQ pin and
Vss. The value of the resistor must be six times the desired output impedance.
For example, a 240Ω resistor is required for an output impedance of 40Ω. To ensure that output impedance is one sixth the value of RQ
(within 10 %), the range of RQ is 120Ω to 360Ω (20Ω to 60Ω output impedance).
RES, CK and /CK are not internally terminated. CK and /CK will be terminated on the system module using external 1% resisters. The
output impedance is updated during all AUTO REFRESH commands and NOP commands when a READ is not in progress to compensate for variations in supply voltage and temperature. The output impedance updates are transparent to the system. Impedance updates
do not affect device operation, and all data sheet timing and current specifications are met during an update. To guarantee optimum output driver impedance after power-up, the GDDR3(x32) needs 20us after the clock is applied and stable to calibrate the impedance upon
power-up. The user can operate the part with fewer than 20us, but optimal output impedance is not guaranteed. The value of ZQ is also
used to calibrated the internal address/command termination resisters. The two termination values that are selectable at power up are 1/
2 of ZQ and ZQ. The value of ZQ is used to calibrate the internal DQ termination resisters. The two termination values that are selectable are 1/4 of ZQ and 1/2 of ZQ.
BURST LENGTH
Read and write accesses to the GDDR3 SDRAM are burst oriented, with the burst length being programmable, as shown in MRS
table. The burst length determines the maximum number of column locations that can be accessed for a given READ or WRITE command. Burst length of 4 only is available. Reserved states should not be used, as unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result. When a READ or WRITE command is issued, a block of columns equal to the burst length is effectively selected. All
accesses for that burst take place within the block, meaning that the burst will wrap within the block if a boundary is reached. The block
is uniquely selected by A2-Ai when the burst length is set to four (Where Ai is the most significant column address bit for a given configuration). The remaining (least significant) address bit(s) is (are) used to select the starting location within the block. The programmable
burst length applies to both READ and WRITE bursts.
BURST TYPE
Accesses within a given burst must be programmed to be sequential; this is referred to as the burst type and is selected via bit A3.
This device does not support the interleaved burst mode found in DDR SDRAM devices. The ordering of accesses within a burst is
determined by the burst length, the burst type, and the starting column address, as shown in below table: Burst Definition

CAS LATENCY (READ LATENCY)
The CAS latency is the delay, in clock cycles, between the registration of a READ command and the availability of the first bit of output
data. The latency can be set to 5~9 clocks. If a READ command is registered at clock edge n, and the latency is m clocks, the data will
be available nominally coincident with clock edge n+m. Below table indicates the operating frequencies at which each CAS latency setting can be used. Reserved states should not be used as unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.

WRITE LATENCY
The Write latency (WL) is the delay, in clock cycles, between the registration of a WRITE command and the availability of the first bit of
input data. The latency can be set from 1 to 6 clocks depending in the operating frequency and desired current draw. When the write
latencies are set to 1 or 2 or 3 clocks, the input receivers never turn off when the WRITE command is registered. If a WRITE command
is registered at clock edge n, and the latency is m clocks, the data will be available nominally coincident with clock edge n+m. Reserved
states should not be used as unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.
* Maximum frequency of GDDR3 can be limited in WL4, 5 and 6

EXTENDED MODE REGISTER SET(EMRS)
The extended mode register stores the data output driver strength and on-die termination options. The
extended mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS, WE and high on BA0(The GDDR3
SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the extended mode register). The state of address pins A0 ~ A11 and BA0 in the same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS and WE going low are
written in the extended mode register. Six clock cycles are required to complete the write operation in the
extended mode register. 4 kinds of the output driver strength are supported by EMRS (A1, A0) code. 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. "High" on BA0 is used for EMRS. Refer to the table for specific
codes.

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 disabling the DLL for debugging or evaluation. (When the device exits self refresh mode, the DLL
is enabled automatically.) Any time the DLL is enabled, 20K clock cycles must occur before a READ command can be
issued.
DATA TERMINATION
The Data Termination, DT, is used to determine the value of the internal data termination resisters. The GDDR3 SDRAM
supports 60Ω and 120Ω termination. The termination may also be disabled for testing and other purposes.
DATA DRIVER IMPEDANCE
The Data Driver impedance (DZ) is used to determine the value of the data drivers impedance. When autocalibration is
used the data driver impedance is set to 40Ωs and it’s tolerance is determined by the calibration accuracy of the device.
When any other value is selected the target impedance is set nominally to the desired impedance. However, the accuracy
is now determined by the device’s specific process corner, applied voltage and operating temperature.
ADDITIVE LATENCY
The Additive Latency function (AL) is used to optimize the command bus efficiency. The AL value is used to determine the
number of clock cycles that is to be added to CL after CAS is captured by the rising edge of CK. Thus the total CAS latency
is determined by adding CL and AL.
MANUFACTURERS VENDOR CODE AND REVISION IDENTIFICATION
The Manufacturers Vendor Code, V, is selected by issuing a EXTENDED MODE REGISTER SET command with bits A10
set to one, and bits A0-A9 and A11 set to the desired values. When the V function is enabled the GDDR3 SDRAM will provide its manufacturers vendor code on DQ[3:0] and revision identification on DQ[7:4]

LOW POWER MODE
Low power mode can be enabled by A11="H" during the EMRS command and in this case, Precharge Power
Down command activates LP mode1 and Self Refresh command activates LP mode2. In case that A11 set to
"L" during the EMRS, Low Power mode is disabled and Precharge Power Down command and Self Refresh
command will do normal operation.
If a Precharge Power Down command issued under the condition of Low Power mode enabled, a device
enters the LP mode1 and it can reduce Precharge Power Down current significantly by disabling DLL during
the Precharge Power Down, however it requires more time to exit Power Down. If the power down duration is
less than 20us, the required tPDEX is 300tCK. Otherwise, 20000tCK required for the tPDEX.
If a Self Refresh command issued under the condition of Low Power mode enabled, a device enters the LP
mode2 and it can reduce tXSR while slightly increase the Self Refresh current. If the Self Refresh duration is
less than 20us, the required tXSR is 300tCK. Otherwise, 20000tCK required for the tXSR.

DESELECT
The DESELECT function (/CS high) prevents new commands from being executed by the DDR(x32). The GDDR3(x32)
SDRAM is effectively deselected. Operations already in progress are not affected.
NO OPERATION (NOP)
The NO OPERATION (NOP) command is used to instruct selected GDDR3(x32) to perform a NOP (/CS LOW). This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states. Operations already in progress are not
affected.
LOAD MODE REGISTER
The mode registers are loaded via inputs A0-A11. See mode register descriptions in the Register Definition section. The
Load Mode Register command can only be issued when all banks are idle, and a subsequent executable command cannot
be issued until tMRD is met.
ACTIVE
The ACTIVE command is used to open (or activate) a row in a particular bank for a subsequent access. The value on the
BA0,BA1 inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on inputsA0-A11 selects the row. This row remains 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.
READ
The READ command is used to initiate a burst read access to an active row. The value on the BA0, BA1 inputs selects the
bank, and the address provided on inputs A0-A7, A9 selects the starting column location. The value on input A8 determines whether or not auto precharge is used. If auto precharge is selected, the row being accessed will be precharged at
the end of the READ burst; if auto precharge is not selected, the row will remain open for subsequent accesses.
WRITE
The WRITE command is used to initiate a burst write access to an active row. The value on the BA0, BA1 inputs selects
the bank, and the address provided on inputs A0-A7, A9 selects the starting column location. The value on inputs A8 determines whether or not auto precharge is used. If auto precharge is selected, the row being accessed will be precharged at
the end of the WRITE burst; if auto precharge is not selected, the row will remain open for subsequent accesses. Input
data appearing on the DQs is written to the memory array subject to the DM input logic level appearing coincident with the
data. If a given DM signal is registered LOW. the corresponding data will be written to memory; If the DM signal is registered HIGH, the corresponding data inputs will be ignored, and a WRITE will not be executed to that byte/column location.
PRECHARGE
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 access a specified time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE command is issued.
Input A8 determines whether one or all banks are to be precharged, and in the case where only one banks are to be precharged, inputs BA0,BA1 select the bank. Otherwise BA0, BA1 are treated as "Don’t Care." Once a bank has been precharged, it is in the idle state and must be activated prior to any READ or WRITE command will be treated as a NOP if
there is no open row is already in the process of precharging.

Rev 1.8 (Apr. 2005)
256M GDDR3 SDRAM
K4J55323QF-GC
AUTO PRECHARGE
Auto precharge is a feature which performs the same individual-bank precharge function described above, but without
requiring an explicit command. This is accomplished by using A8 to enable auto precharge in conjunction with a specific
READ or WRITE command. A precharge of the bank/row that is addressed with the READ or WRITE command is automatically performed upon completion of the READ or WRITE burst. Auto precharge is nonpersistent in that it is either
enable or disabled for each individual READ or WRITE command. Auto precharge ensures that the precharge is initiated
at the earliest valid state within a burst. This "earliest valid stage" is determined as if an explicit PRECHARGE command
was issued at the earliest possible time, without violating tRAS(min), as described for each burst type in the Operation section of this data sheet. The user must not issue another command to the same bank until the precharge time(tRP) is completed.
AUTO REFRESH
Auto Refresh is used during normal operation of the GDDR3 SDRAM and is analogous to /CAS-BEFORE-/RAS (CBR)
REFRESH in FPM/EDO DRAMs. This command is nonpersistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The
addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This makes the address bits a "Don’t Care" during an Auto
Refresh command. The 256Mb(x32) DDR2(x32) requires Auto Refresh cycles at an average interval of 7.8us (maximum).
A maximum of eight Auto Refresh commands can be posted to any given GDDR3(x32) SDRAM, meaning that the maximum absolute interval between any Auto Refresh command and the next Auto Refresh command is 9 x 7.8us(70.2us).
This maximum absolute interval is to allow GDDR3(x32) SDRAM output drivers and internal terminators to automatically
recalibrate compensating for voltage and temperature changes.
SELF REFRESH
The SELF REFRESH command can be used to retain data in the GDDR3(x32) SDRAM ,even if the rest of the system is
powered down. When in the self refresh mode,the GDDR3(x32) SDRAM retains data without external clocking. The SELF
REFRESH command is initiated like an AUTO REFRESH command except CKE is disabled (LOW). The DLL is automatically disabled upon entering SELF REFRESH and is automatically enabled and reset upon exiting SELF REFRESH. The
active termination is also disabled upon entering Self Refresh and enabled upon exiting Self Refresh. (200 clock cycles
must then occur before a READ command can be issued). Input signals except CKE are "Don’t Care" during SELF
REFRESH. The procedure for exiting self refresh requires a sequence of commands. First, CK and /CK must be stable
prior to CKE going back HIGH. Once CKE is HIGH,the GDDR3(x32) must have NOP commands issued for tXSNR
because tine is required for the completion of any internal refresh in progress. A simple algorithm for meeting both refresh,
DLL requirements and out-put calibration is to apply NOPs for 200 clock cycles before applying any other command to
allow the DLL to lock and the output drivers to recalibrate.
DATA TERMINATOR DISABLE
(BUS SNOOPING FOR READ COMMAND)
The DATA TERMINATOR DISABLE COMMAND is detected by the device by snooping the bus for READ commands
excluding /CS. The GDDR3 DRAM will disable its Data terminators when a READ command is detected. The terminators
are disable CL-1 Clocks after the READ command is detected. In a two rank system both dram devices will snoop the bus
for READ commands to either device and both will disable their terminators if a READ command is detected. The command and address terminators and always enabled.

Rev 1.8 (Apr. 2005)
256M GDDR3 SDRAM
K4J55323QF-GC
ON-DIE TERMINATION
Bus snooping for READ commands other than /CS is used to control the on-die termination. The GDDR3 SDRAM will disable the on-die termination when a READ command is detected, regardless of the state of /CS. The on-die termination is
disabled x clocks after the READ command where x equals CL-1 and stay off for a duration of BL/2 + 2, as below figure,
Data Termination Disable Timing. In a two-rank system, both DRAM devices snoop the bus for READ commands to either
device and both will disable the on-die termination if a READ command is detected. The on-die termination for all other
pins on the device are always on for both a single-rank system and a dual-rank system.
The on-die termination value on address and control pins is determined during power-up in relation to the state of CKE on
the first transition of RESET. On the rising edge of RESET, if CKE is sampled LOW, then the configuration is determined to
be a single-rank system. The on-die termination is then set to one-half ZQ for the address pins. On the rising edge of
RESET, if CKE is sampled HIGH, then the configuration is determined to be a dual-rank system. The on-die termination for
the DQs, WDQS, and DM pins is set in the EMRS.

OPERATIONS
BANK/ROW ACTIVATION
/CK
CK
Before any READ or WRITE commands can be issued to a banks within the GDDR3 SDRAM,
a row in that bank must be "opened." This is accomplished via the ACTIVE command, which
selects both the bank and the row to be activated.
After a row is opened with an ACTIVE command, a READ or WRITE command may be issued
to that row, subject to the tRCD specification. tRCD(min) should be divided by the clock period
and rounded up to the next whole number to determine the earliest clock edge after the
ACTIVE command in which a READ or WRITE command can be entered. For example, a tRCD
specification of 16ns with a 450MHz clock (2.2ns period) results in 7.2 clocks rounded to 8.
This is reflected in below figure, which covers any case where 7<tRCD(min)/tCK≤ 8.
The same procedure is used to convert other specification limits from tome units to clock
cycles).
A subsequent ACTIVE command to a different row in the same bank can only be issued after
the previous active row has been "closed"(precharged). The minimum time interval between
successive ACTIVE commads to the same bank is defined by tRC.
A subsequent ACTIVE command to another bank can be issued while the first bank is being
accessed, which results in a reduction of total row access overhead. The minimum time interval between successive ACTIVE commands to different banks is defined by tRRD.

READs
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command, as below figure. The starting column and bank addresses are provided with the READ command and
auto precharge is either enabled or disabled for that burst access. If auto precharge is enabled, the row being accessed is prechrged at the completion of
the burst after tRAS(min) has been met. For the generic READ commands used
in the following illustrations, auto precharge is disabled.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element from the starting column
address will be available following the CAS Latency after the READ command. Each subsequent data-out element will be valid nominally at the next
positive or negative strobe edge. READ burst figure shows general timing for
2 of the possible CAS latency settings. The GDDR3(x32) drives the output
data edge aligned to the crossing of CK and /CK and to RDQS. The initial
HIGH transitioning LOW of RDQS is known as the read preamble ; the half
cycle coincident with the last data-out element is known as the read postamble.

Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other commands have been initiated, the DQs will go High-Z. A detailed explanation of tDQSQ (valid data-out
skew), tDV (data-out window hold), the valid data window are depicted in Data
Output Timing (1) figure. A detailed explanation of tAC (DQS and DQ transition
skew to CK) is shown in Data Output Timing (2) figure.
Data from any READ burst may be concatenated with data from a subsequent READ command. A continuous flow of data can be maintained. The
first data element from the new burst follows the last element of a completed
burst. The new READ command should be issued x cycles after the first
READ command, where x equals the number of data element nibbles (nibbles
are required by the 4n-prefetch architecture) depending on the burst length.
This is shown in consecutive READ bursts figure. Nonconsecutive read data
is shown for illustration in nonconsecutive READ bursts figure. Full-speed
random read accesses within a page (or pages) can be performed as shown
in Random READ accesses figure. Data from a READ burst cannot be terminated or truncated.
During READ commands the GDDR3 Dram disables its data terminators.

WRITEs
WRITE bursts are initiated with a WRITE command, as shown in Figure.
The starting column and bank addresses are provided with the WRITE
command, and auto precharge is either enabled or disabled for that
access. If auto precharge is enabled, the row being accessed is precharged at the completion of the burst. For the generic WRITE commands
used in the following illustrations, auto precharge is disabled.
During WRITE bursts, the first valid data-in element will be registered in a
rising edge of WDQS following the WRITE latency set in the mode register
and subsequent data elements will be registered on successive edges of
WDQS. Prior to the first valid WDQS edge a half cycle is needed and specified as the WRITE Preamble; the half cycle in WDQS following the last
data-in element is known as the write postamble.
The time between the WRITE command and the first valid falling edge of
WDQS (tDQSS) is specified with a relative to the write latency. All of the
WRITE diagrams show the nominal case, and where the two extreme
cases (i.e., tDQSS(min) and tDQSS(max)) might not be intuitive, they have also
been included. Write Burst figure shows the nominal case and the
extremes of tDQSS for a burst of 4. Upon completion of a burst, assuming
no other commands have been initiated, the DQs will remain High-Z and
any additional input data will be ignored. Data for any WRITE burst may not
be truncated with a subsequent WRITE command. The new WRITE command can be issued on any positive edge of clock following the previous
WRITE command after the burst has completed. The new WRITE command should be issued x cycles after the first WRITE command should be
equals the number of desired nibbles (nibbles are required by 4n-prefetch
architecture).
An example of nonconsecutive WRITEs is shown in Nonconsecutive
WRITE to READ figure. Full-speed random write accesses within a page or
pages can be performed as shown in Random WRITE cycles figure. Data
for any WRITE burst may be followed by a subsequent READ command.
Data for any WRITE burst may be followed by a subsequent PRECHARGE command. To follow a WRITE the WRITE burst, tWR should be
met as shown in WRITE to PRECHARGE figure.
Data for any WRITE burst can not be truncated by a subsequent PRECHARGE command.

PRECHARGE
/CK
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 access some specified time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE command is issued. Input A8 determines whether one or all
banks are to be precharged, and in the case where only one bank is to
be precharged, inputs BA0, BA1 select the bank. When all banks are to
be precharged, inputs BA0, BA1 are treated as "Don’t Care." 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 the bank.
CK

POWER-DOWN (CKE NOT ACTIVE)
Unlike SDRAMs,GDDR3(x32) SDRAM requires CKE to be active at all
times an access is in progress; from the issuing of a READ or WRITE
command until completion of the burst. For READs, a burst completion is
defined when the Read Postamble is satisfied; For WRITEs, a burst
completion is defined BL/2 cycles after the Write Postamble is satisfied.

Power-down is entered when CKE is registered LOW. If power-down
occurs when there is a row active in any bank, this mode is referred to as
active power-down. Entering power-down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK,/CK and CKE. For maximum power savings,
the user has the option of disabling the DLL prior to entering powerdown. However, power-down duration is limited by the refresh requirements of the device, so in most applications,the self-refresh mode is preferred over the DLL-disabled power-down mode.

When in power-down, CKE LOW and a stable clock signal must be
maintained at the inputs of the GDDR3 SDRAM, while all other input signals are "Don’t Care."
The power-down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered
HIGH (in conjunction with a NOP or DESELECT command). A valid executable command may be applied six clock cycle later.

NOTES :
1. This table applies when CKEn-1 was HIGH and CKEn is HIGH (see CKE Truth Table) and after tXSNR has been met
(if the previous state was self refresh).
2. This table is bank-specific, except where noted (i.e., the current state is for a specific bank and the commands shown
are those allowed to be issued to that bank when in that state). Exceptions are covered in the notes below.
3. Current state definitions :
Idle : The bank has been precharged, and tRP has been met.
Row Active : A row in the bank has been activated, and tRCD has been met.
No data bursts/accesses and no register accesses are in progress.
Read : A READ burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled.
Write : A WRITE burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled.
4. The following states must not be interrupted by a command issued to the same bank. COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP
commands, or allowable commands to the other bank should be issued on any clock edge occurring during these
states. Allowable commands to the other bank are determined by its current state and truth table- current state bank n command to bank n. and according to truth table - current state bank n -command to bank m.
Precharging : Starts with registration of a PRECHARGE command and ends when tRP is met.
Once tRP is met, the bank will be in the idle state.
Row Activating : Starts with registration of an ACTIVE command and ends when tRCD is met.
Once tRCD is met, the bank will be in the :row active" state.

Read w/ Auto- : Starts with registration of an READ command with auto precharge enabled and ends
Precharge Enabled when tRP has been met. Once tRP is met, the bank will be in the idle state.
Write w/ Auto- : Starts with registration of a WRITE command with auto precharge enabled and ends
Precharge Enabled when tRP has been met. Once tRP is met, the bank will be in the idle state.
5. The following states must not be interrupted by any executable command ; COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP commands
must be applied on each positive clock edge during these states.
Refreshing : Starts with registration of an AUTO REFRESH command and ends when tRC is met.
Once tRC is met, the DDR2(x32) will be in the all banks idle state.
Accessing Mode : Starts with registration of a LOAD MODE REGISTER command and ends when tMRD
Register has been met. Once tMRD is met, the GDDR3(x32) SDRAM will be in the all banks idle state.
Precharge All : Starts with registration of a PRECHARGE ALL command and ends when tRP is met.
Once tRP is met, all banks will be in the idle state.
READ or WRITE : Starts with registration of the ACTIVE command and ends the last valid data nibble.
6. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved.
7. Not bank-specific; requires that all banks are idle, and bursts are not in progress.
8. May or may not be bank-specific ; If multiple banks are to be precharged, each must be in a valid state for precharging.
9. Left blank
10. READs or WRITEs listed in the Command/Action column include READs or WRITEs with auto precharge enabled

NOTES :
1. This table applies when CKEn-1 was HIGH and CKEn is HIGH (see TRUTH TABLE- CKE ) and after tXSNR has been
met (if the previous state was self refresh).
2. This table describes alternate bank operation, except where noted (i.e., the current state is for bank n and the
commands shown are those allowed to be issued to bank m, assuming that bank m is in such a state that the given
command is allowable). Exceptions are covered in the notes below.

3. Current state definitions :
Idle : The bank has been precharged, and tRP has been met.
Row Active : A row in the bank has been activated, and tRCD has been met.
No data bursts/accesses and no register accesses are in progress.
Read : A READ burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled.
Write : A WRITE burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled.
Read w/ Auto- : See following text
Precharge Enabled
Write w/ Auto- : See following text
Precharge Enabled
3a. The read with auto precharge enabled or write with auto precharge enabled states can each be broken into two
parts : the access period and the precharge period. For read with auto precharge, the precharge period is defined
as if the same burst was executed with auto precharge disabled and then followed with the earliest possible PRECHARGE command that still accesses all of the data in the burst. For write with auto precharge, the precharge
period begins when tWR ends, with tWR command and ends where the precharge period (or tRP) begins.
During the precharge period of the read with auto precharge enabled or write with auto precharge enabled states,
ACTIVE, PRECHARGE, READ and WRITE commands to the other bank may be applied. In either case, all other
related Limitations apply (e.g., contention between read data write data must be avoided).
3b. The minimum delay from a READ or WRITE command with auto precharge enabled, to a command to a different
bank is summarized below.

Input leakage current
Any input 0V-<VIN -< VDDQ
(All other pins not under test = 0V)
Output leakage current
(DQs are disabled ; 0V-<VOUT -< VDDQ)
Note : 1.Under all conditions, VDDQ must be less than or equal to VDD.
3. VREF is expected to equal 70% of VDDQ for the transmitting device and to track variations in the DC level of the same. Peak-to-peak noise on
VREF may not exceed + 2 percent of the DC value. Thus, from 70% of VDDQ, VREF is allowed + 25mV for DC error and an additional +25mV
for AC noise.
4. The DC values define where the input slew rate requirements are imposed, and the input signal must not violate these levels in order to maintain
a valid level. The inputs require the AC value to be achieved during signal transition edge and the driver should achieve the same slew rate
through the AC values.
5. Input and output slew rate =3V/ns. If the input slew rate is less than 3V/ns, input timing may be compromised. All slew rate are measured between
Vih and Vil.
DQ and DM input slew rate must not deviate from DQS by more than 10%. If the DQ,DM and DQS slew rate is less than 3V/ns, timing is longer
than referenced to the mid-point but to the VIL(AC) maximum and VIH(AC) minimum points.
6. VIH overshoot : VIH(max) = VDDQ + 0.5V for a pulse width ≤ 500ps and the pulse width can not be greater than 1/3 of the cycle rate.
VIL undershoot : VIL(min)=0.0V for a pulse width ≤ 500ps and the pulse width can not be greater than 1/3 of the cycle rate.

Note : 1. This provides a minimum of 1.16V to a maximum of 1.36V, and is always 70% of VDDQ
2. For AC operations, all DC clock requirements must be satisfied as well.
3. The value of VIX is expected to equal 70% VDDQ for the transmitting device and must track variations in the DC level of the same.
4. VID is the magnitude of the difference between the input level in CK and the input level on /CK.
5. The CK and /CK input reference level (for timing referenced to CK and /CK) is the point at which CK and /CK cross;
the input reference level for signals other than CK and /CK is VREF.

Note : 1. The WRITE latency can be set from 1 to 7 clocks. When the WRITE latency is set to 1 or 2 or 3 clocks(this case can be used regardless of fre
quency), the input buffers are turned on during the ACTIVE commands reducing the latency but added power. When the WRITE latency is set to
4 ~7 clocks , the input buffers are turned on during the WRITE commands for lower power operation. The WRITE latency which is over 4 clocks
can be used only in case that Write Latency*tCK is greater than 7ns.
2. A low to high transition on the WDQS line is not allowed in the half clock prior to the write preamble.
3. The last rising edge of WDQS after the write postamble must be riven high by the controller. WDQS can not be pulled high by
the on-die termination alone.
4. tHZ and tLZ transitions occur in the same access time windows as valid data transitions. These parameters are not referenced to a specific
voltage level, but specify when the device output is no longer driving (HZ) or begins driving (LZ).
