Signal Pin Description
Pin
Type
Function
CK, CK
Input
Clock : CK and CK are differential clock inputs. All address and control input signals 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
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 asynchronous for self
refresh exit. After VREFCA has become stable during the power on and initialization sequence, it must
be maintained during all operations (including Self-Refresh). CKE must be maintained high throughout
read and write accesses. Input buffers, excluding CK, CK, ODT 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 Rank
selection on systems with multiple Ranks. CS is considered part of the command code.
ODT
Input
On Die Termination : ODT (registered HIGH) enables termination resistance internal to the DDR3
SDRAM. When enabled, ODT is only applied to each DQ, DQS, DQS and DM/TDQS, NU/TDQS
(When TDQS is enabled via Mode Register A11=1 in MR1) signal for x8 configurations. The ODT pin
will be ignored if the Mode Register (MR1) is programmed to disable ODT.
RAS, CAS, WE
Input
Command Inputs : RAS, CAS and WE (along with CS) define the command being entered.
DM
(DMU), (DML)
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 DQS.
BA0 - BA2
Input
Bank Address Inputs : BA0 - BA2 define to which bank an Active, Read, Write or Precharge command
is being applied. Bank address also determines which mode register is to be accessed during a MRS
cycle.
A0 - A14
Input
Address Inputs : Provided the row address for Active commands and the column address for Read /
Write commands to select one location out of the memory array in the respective bank. (A10/AP and
A12/BC have additional functions, see below)
The address inputs also provide the op-code during Mode Register Set commands.
A10 / AP
Input
Autoprecharge : A10 is sampled during Read/Write commands to determine whether Autoprecharge
should be per-formed 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). if only one bank is to be precharged,
the bank is selected by bank addresses.
A12 / BC
Input
Burst Chop : A12 is sampled during Read and Write commands to determine if burst chop(on-the-fly)
will be per-formed. (HIGH : no burst chop, LOW : burst chopped). See command truth table for details.
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, i.e. 1.20V for DC high and 0.30V for DC low.
DQ
Input/
Output
Data Input/ Output : Bi-directional data bus.
DQSL, DQSL
DQSU, DQSU
Input/
Output
Data Strobe : Output with read data, input with write data. Edge-aligned with read data, centered in
write data. For the x16, DQSL corresponds to the data on DQL0-DQL7; DQSU corresponds to the data
on DQU0-DQU7. The data strobe DQSL and DQSU are paired with differential signals DQSL and DQSU, respectively, to provide differential pair signaling to the system during reads and writes. DDR3
SDRAM supports differential data strobe only and does not support single-ended.

Basic Functionality
Read and write operation to the DDR3 SDRAM are burst oriented, start at a selected location, and continue for a burst
length of four or eight 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 accessed (BA0-BA2 select the bank; A0-A15 select the row).The address bits 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/AP), and the select BC4 or BL8 mode “on the fly” (via
A12) if enabled in the mode register.
Prior to normal operation, the DDR3 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.
Power-up and Initialization Sequence
The following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization.
1. Apply power and attempt to maintain RESET below 0.2 x VDD (all other inputs may be undefined). RESET needs to
be maintained for minimum 200μs with stable power. CKE is pulled “Low” anytime before RESET being de-asserted
(min. time 10ns). The power voltage ramp time between 300mV to VDD min must be no longer 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 becomes active. During this time, the DRAM will start
internal initialization; this will bedone independently of external clocks.
3. Clocks (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 setup time to clock (tIS) must be met. 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 sequenceis finished, including expiration of tDLLK and tZQinit.
4. The DDR3 SDRAM keeps its on-die termination in high-impedance state as long as RESET is asserted. Further, the
SDRAM 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 and
the on-die termination is required to remain in the high impedance state, 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 is 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-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 BA0-2).
10. Issue ZQCL command to starting ZQ calibration.
11. Wait for both tDLLK and tZQ init completed.
12. The DDR3 SDRAM is now ready for normal operation.

Burst Length (MR0)
Read and write accesses to the DDR3 are burst oriented, with the burst length being programmable, as
shown in the figure MR0 Programming. The burst length determines the maximum number of column locations that can be accessed for a given read or write command. Burst length options include fixed BC4, fixed
BL8, and on the fly which allows BC4 or BL8 to be selected coincident with the registration of a read on write
command Via A12 (BC). Reserved states should not be used, as unknown operation or incompatibility with
future versions may result.
Burst Chop
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 :
1. All DDR3 SDRAM commands are defined by states of CS, RAS, CAS, WE and CKE at the rising edge of the clock. The MSB of BA, RA, and CA are
device density and configuration dependant
2. RESET is Low enable command which will be used only for asynchronous reset so must be maintained HIGH during any function.
3. Bank addresses (BA) determine which bank is to be operated upon. For (E)MRS BA selects an (Extended) Mode Register
4. “V” means “H or L (but a defined logic level)” and “X” means either “defined or undefined (like floating) logic level”
5. Burst reads or writes cannot be terminated or interrupted and Fixed/on the fly BL will be defined by MRS
6. The Power Down Mode does not perform any refresh operations.
7. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh.
8. Self refresh exit is asynchronous.
9. VREF(Both VREFDQ and VREFCA) must be maintained during Self Refresh operation.
10. The No Operation command (NOP) should be used in cases when the DDR3 SDRAM is in an idle or a wait state. The purpose of the No Operation
command (NOP) is to prevent the DDR3 SDRAM from registering any unwanted commands between operations. A No Operation command will not
terminate a previous operation that is still executing, such as a burst read or write cycle.
11. The Deselect command performs the same function as a No Operation command.
12. Refer to the CKE Truth Table for more detail with CKE transition

Notes:
1. CKE (N) is the logic state of CKE at clock edge N; CKE (N–1) was the state of CKE at the previous clock edge.
2. Current state is defined as the state of the DDR3 SDRAM immediately prior to clock edge N
3. COMMAND (N) is the command registered at clock edge N, and ACTION (N) is a result of COMMAND (N), ODT is not included here
4. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved unless explicitly described elsewhere in this document
5. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh
6. CKE must be registered with the same value on tCKEmin consecutive positive clock edges. CKE must remain at the valid input level the entire time it
takes to achieve the tCKEmin clocks of registeration. Thus, after any CKE transition, CKE may not transition from its valid level during the time period
of tIS + tCKEmin + tIH.
7. DESELECT and NOP are defined in the Command truth table
8. On Self Refresh Exit DESELECT or NOP commands must be issued on every clock edge occurring during the tXS period. Read or ODT commands
may be issued only after tXSDLL is satisfied.
9. Self Refresh mode can only be entered from the All Banks Idle state.
10. Must be a legal command as defined in the Command Truth Table.
11. Valid commands for Power Down Entry and Exit are NOP and DESELECT only.
12. Valid commands for Self Refresh Exit are NOP and DESELECT only.
13. Self Refresh can not be entered while Read or Write operations. See ‘Self-Refresh Operation” and ‘Power-Down Modes” on later section for a
detailed list of restrictions.
14. The Power Down does not perform any refresh operations.
15. “X” means “don’t care (including floating around VREF)” in Self Refresh and Power Down. It also applies to Address pins
16. VREF (Both VREFDQ and VREFCA) must be maintained during Self Refresh operation.
17. If all banks are closed at the conclusion of the read, write or precharge command, then Precharge Power Down is entered, otherwise Active Power
Down is entered
18. ‘Idle state’ means that all banks are closed(tRP,tDAL,etc. satisfied) and CKE is high and all timings from previous operations are satisfied
(tMRD,tMOD,tRFC,tZQinit,tZQoper,tZQCS,etc)as well as all SRF exit and Power Down exit parameters are satisfied (tXS,tXP,tXPDLL,etc)

This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions
for extended periods may affect reliability.
2. Storage Temperature is the case surface temperature on the center/top side of the DRAM. For the measurement
conditions, please refer to JESD51-2 standard.
3. VDD and VDDQ must be within 300mV of each other at all times;and VREF must be not greater than 0.6 x VDDQ,

NOTE :
1. Operating temperature is the case surface temperature on the center/top side of the DRAM.
2. The Normal Temperature Range specifies the temperatures where all DRAM specifications will be supported. During
operation, the DRAM case temperature must be maintained between 0°C to +85°C under all operating conditions.
3. 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 conditions apply:
a) Refresh commands must be doubled in frequency, therefore reducing the refresh interval tREFI to 3.9μs.
(This double refresh requirement may not apply for some devices.)
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 bit [A6, A7] = [0, 1]) or enable the
optional Auto Self-Refresh mode (MR2 bit [A6, A7] = [1, 0]).

VREF Tolerances
The dc-tolerance limits and ac-noise limits for the reference voltages VREFCA and VREFDQ are illustrate in
figure VREF(DC) tolerance and VREF AC-Noise limits. It shows a valid reference voltage VREF(t) as a
function of time. (VREF stands for VREFCA and VREFDQ likewise).
VREF(DC) is the linear average of VREF(t) over a very long period of time (e.g. 1 sec). This average has to
meet the min/max requirement in Table of “Single-Ended AC and DC Input Levels for Command and
Address”. Furthermore VREF(t) may temporarily deviate from VREF(DC) by no more than +/- 1% VDD.

time
VREF(DC) tolerance and VREF AC-Noise limits
The voltage levels for setup and hold time measurements VIH(AC), VIH(DC), VIL(AC) and VIL(DC) are
dependent on VREF.
"VREF" shall be understood as VREF(DC), as defined in figure above, VREF(DC) tolerance and VREF ACNoise limits.
This clarifies, that DC-variations of VREF affect the absolute voltage a signal has to reach to achieve a valid
high or low level and therefore the time to which setup and hold is measured. System timing and voltage
budgets need to account for VREF(DC) deviations from the optimum position within the data-eye of the
input signals.
This also clarifies that the DRAM setup/hold specification and derating values need to include time and voltage associated with VREF AC-noise. Timing and voltage effects due to AC-noise on VREF up to the specified limit (+/- 1% of VDD) are included in DRAM timings and their associated deratings.

Single-ended requirements for differential signals
Each individual component of a differential signal (CK, DQS, CK, DQS) has also to comply with certain
requirements for single-ended signals.
CK and CK have to approximately reach VSEH min / VSEL max [ approximately equal to the AC-levels
( VIH(AC) / VIL(AC) ) for Address/command signals ] in every half-cycle.
DQS, DQS have to reach VSEH min / VSEL max [ 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 Address/command and DQ’s might be different per speed-bin etc.
E.g. if VIH150(AC) / VIL150(AC) is used for Address/command signals, then these AC-levels apply also for
the single-ended components of differential CK and CK.

Single-ended requirement for differential signals
Note that while Address/command and DQ signal requirements are with respect to VREF, the single-ended
components of differential signals have a requirement with respect to VDD/2; this is nominally the same.
The transition of single-ended signals through the AC-levels is used to measure setup time. For singleended components of differential signals the requirement to reach VSEL max, VSEH min has no bearing on
timing, but adds a restriction on the common mode characteristics of these signals.

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

NOTE :
1. Although the DM pin has different functions, the loading matches DQ and DQS
2. This parameter is not subject to production test. It is verified by design and characterization. The capacitance is measured according to JEP147("PROCEDURE FOR MEASURING INPUT CAPACITANCE USING A VECTOR NETWORK
ANALYZER( VNA)") with VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ applied and all other pins floating (except the pin under test, CKE,
RESET and ODT as necessary). VDD=VDDQ=1.5V, VBIAS=VDD/2 and on-die termination off.
3. This parameter applies to monolithic devices only; stacked/dual-die devices are not covered here
4. Absolute value of CCK-CCK
5. Absolute value of CIO(DQS)-CIO(DQS)
6. CI applies to ODT, CS, CKE, A0-A15, BA0-BA2, RAS, CAS, WE
7. CDI_CTRL applies to ODT, CS and CKE
8. CDI_CTRL=CI(CTRL)-0.5*(CI(CLK)+CI(CLK))
9. CDI_ADD_CMD applies to A0-A15, BA0-BA2, RAS, CAS and WE
10. CDI_ADD_CMD=CI(ADD_CMD) - 0.5*(CI(CLK)+CI(CLK))
11. CDIO=CIO(DQ,DM) - 0.5*(CIO(DQS)+CIO(DQS))
12. Maximum external load capacitance on ZQ pin: 5pF

Speed Bin Table Notes
NOTE :
1. The CL setting and CWL setting result in tCK(avg) Min and tCK(avg) Max requirements. When making a selection
of tCK(avg), both need to be fulfilled: Requirements from CL setting as well as requirements from CWL setting.
2. tCK(avg) Min limits: Since CAS Latency is not purely analog - data and strobe output are synchronized by the DLL all possible intermediate frequencies may not be guaranteed. An application should use the next smaller JEDEC
standard tCK(avg) value (2.5, 1.875, 1.5, or 1.25 ns) when calculating CL [nCK] = tAA [ns] / tCK(avg) [ns], rounding
up to the next "Supported CL".
3. tCK(avg) Max limits: Calculate tCK(avg) = tAA Max / CL Selected and round the resulting tCK(avg) down to the
next valid speed bin (i.e. 3.3ns or 2.5ns or 1.875 ns or 1.25 ns). This result is tCK(avg) Max corresponding to CL
selected.
4. "Reserved" settings are not allowed. User must program a different value.
5. Any DDR3-1066 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the table which are
not subject to production tests but verified by design/characterization.
6. Any DDR3-1333 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the table which are
not subject to production tests but verified by design/characterization.
7. Any DDR3L-1600 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the table which are
not subject to production tests but verified by design/characterization.
8. tREFI depends on operating case temperature (Tc).
9. For devices supporting optional downshift to CL=7 and CL=9, tAA/tRCD/tRP min must be 13.125 ns or lower. SPD
settings must be programmed to match. For example, DDR3L-1600(CL11) devices supporting downshift to
DDR3-1333(CL9) or DDR3-1066(CL7) should program 13.125 ns in SPD bytes for tAAmin (Byte16), tRCDmin (Byte
18), and tRPmin (Byte 20). DDR3L-1600 devices supporting down binning to DDR3- 1333 or DDR3-1066 should
program 13.125ns in SPD byte for tAAmin (Byte 16), tRCDmin (Byte 18) and tRPmin
(Byte 20). Once tRP (Byte 20) is programmed to 13.125ns, tRCmin (Byte 21,23) also should be programmed accodingly. For example, 49.125ns, (tRASmin + tRPmin = 36ns + 13.125ns) for DDR3-1333 and 48.125ns (tRASmin +
tRPmin = 35ns + 13.125ns) for DDR3L-1600.
10. For devices supporting optional down binning to CL=11, CL=9 and CL=7, tAA/tRCD/tRPmin must be 13.125ns. SPD
setting must be programed to match. For example, DDR3L-1600 devices supporting down binning to DDR3-1333
or 1066 should program 13.125ns in SPD bytes for tAAmin(byte16), tRCDmin(Byte18) and tRP-min
(byte20). Once tRP (Byte20) is programmed to 13.125ns, tRCmin (Byte21,23) also should be programmed accordingly. For example, 47.125ns (tRASmin + tRPmin = 34ns + 13.125ns)

Notes for AC Electrical Characteristics
NOTE :
1. Actual value dependant upon measurement level definitions which are TBD.
2. Commands requiring a locked DLL are: READ (and READA) and synchronous ODT commands.
3. The max values are system dependent.
4. WR as programmed in mode register.
5. Value must be rounded-up to next higher integer value.
6. There is no maximum cycle time limit besides the need to satisfy the refresh interval, tREFI.
7. ODT turn on time (min.) is when the device leaves high impedance and ODT resistance begins to turn on.
ODT turn on time (max.) is when the ODT resistance is fully on. Both are measured from ODTLon.
8. ODT turn-off time (min.) is when the device starts to turn-off ODT resistance. ODT turn-off time (max.) is when
the bus is in high impedance. Both are measured from ODTLoff.
9. tWR is defined in ns, for calculation of tWRPDEN it is necessary to round up tWR / tCK to the next integer.
10. WR in clock cycles as programmed in MR0.
11. The maximum read postamble is bound by tDQSCK(min) plus tQSH(min) on the left side and tHZ(DQS)max on
the right side.
12. Output timing deratings are relative to the SDRAM input clock. When the device is operated with input clock jitter,
this parameter needs to be derated by TBD.
13. Value is only valid for RON34.
14. Single ended signal parameter. Refer to the section of tLZ(DQS), tLZ(DQ), tHZ(DQS), tHZ(DQ) Notes for definition
and measurement method.
15. tREFI depends on operating case temperature (Tc).
16. tIS(base) and tIH(base) values are for 1V/ns command/addresss single-ended slew rate and 2V/ns CK, CK
differential slew rate, Note for DQ and DM signals, VREF(DC) = VREFDQ(DC). For input only pins except RESET,
VREF(DC) = VREFCA(DC). See Address / Command Setup, Hold and Derating section.
17. tDS(base) and tDH(base) values are for 1V/ns DQ single-ended slew rate and 2V/ns DQS, DQS differential slew
rate. Note for DQ and DM signals,VREF(DC)= VREFDQ(DC). For input only pins except RESET, VREF(DC) =
VREFCA(DC). See Data Setup, Hold and and Slew Rate Derating section.
18. Start of internal write transaction is defined as follows ;
For BL8 (fixed by MRS and on-the-fly) : Rising clock edge 4 clock cycles after WL.
For BC4 (on-the-fly) : Rising clock edge 4 clock cycles after WL.
For BC4 (fixed by MRS) : Rising clock edge 2 clock cycles after WL.
19. The maximum read preamble is bound by tLZDQS(min) on the left side and tDQSCK(max) on the right side.
20. CKE is allowed to be registered low while operations such as row activation, precharge, autoprecharge or refresh
are in progress, but power-down IDD spec will not be applied until finishing those operation.
21. Although CKE is allowed to be registered LOW after a REFRESH command once tREFPDEN(min) is satisfied,
there are cases where additional time such as tXPDLL(min) is also required.
22. Defined between end of MPR read burst and MRS which reloads MPR or disables MPR function.
23. One ZQCS command can effectively correct a minimum of 0.5 % (ZQCorrection) of RON and RTT impedance error
within 64 nCK for all speed bins assuming the maximum sensitivities specified in the “Output Driver Voltage and
Temperature Sensitivity” and “ODT Voltage and Temperature Sensitivity” tables. The appropriate interval between
ZQCS commands can be determined from these tables and other application specific parameters.
One method for calculating the interval between ZQCS commands, given the temperature (Tdriftrate) and voltage
(Vdriftrate) drift rates that the SDRAM is subject to in the application, is illustrated. The interval could be defined by
the following formula:
ZQCorrection
(TSens x Tdriftrate) + (VSens x Vdriftrate)
where TSens = max(dRTTdT, dRONdTM) and VSens = max(dRTTdV, dRONdVM) define the SDRAM temperature
and voltage sensitivities.
24. The tIS(base) AC150 specifications are adjusted from the tIS(base) specification by adding an additional 100 ps of

derating to accommodate for the lower alternate threshold of 150 mV and another 25 ps to account for the earlier
reference point [(175 mv - 150 mV) / 1 V/ns].
25. Pulse width of a input signal is defined as the width between the first crossing of VREF(DC) and the consecutive
crossing of VREF(DC).
26. tDQSL describes the instantaneous differential input low pulse width on DQS - DQS, as measured from one falling
edge to the next consecutive rising edge.
27. tDQSH describes the instantaneous differential input high pulse width on DQS - DQS, as measured from one rising
edge to the next consecutive falling edge.
28. tDQSH,act + tDQSL,act = 1 tCK,act ; with tXYZ,act being the actual measured value of the respective timing
parameter in the application.
29. tDSH,act + tDSS,act = 1 tCK,act ; with tXYZ,act being the actual measured value of the respective timing parameter
in the application.
30. tCH(abs) is the absolute instantaneous clock high pulse width, as measured from one rising edge to the following
falling edge.
31. tCL(abs) is the absolute instantaneous clock low pulse width, as measured from one falling edge to the following
rising edge.
32. n = from 13 cycles to 50 cycles. This row defines 38 parameters.
