2.2 Input/Output Function Description
SYMBOL
TYPE
DESCRIPTION
CK, CK
Input
Clock : CK and CK are differential clock inputs. All address and control input signals are sampled on the positive edge of CK and negative edge of CK. Output (read) data is referenced to
both edges of CK. Internal clock signals are derived from CK/CK.
CKE
Input
Clock Enable : CKE HIGH activates, and CKE LOW deactivates internal clock signals, and
device input buffers and output drivers. Deactivating the clock provides PRECHARGE
POWER-DOWN and SELF REFRESH operation (all banks idle), or ACTIVE POWER-DOWN
(row ACTIVE in any bank). CKE is synchronous for all functions except for disabling outputs,
which is achieved asynchronously. Input buffers, excluding CK, CK and CKE are disabled
during power-down and self refresh modes, providing low standby power. CKE will recognize
an LVCMOS LOW level prior to VREF being stable on power-up.
CS
Input
Chip Select : CS enables(registered LOW) and disables(registered HIGH) the command
decoder. 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.
LDM,(U)DM
Input
Input Data Mask : DM is an input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked when DM is
sampled HIGH along with that input data during a WRITE access. DM is sampled on both
edges of DQS. DM pins include dummy loading internally, to matches the DQ and DQS loading. For the x16, LDM corresponds to the data on DQ0-DQ7 ; UDM correspons to the data on
DQ8-DQ15.
BA0, BA1
Input
Bank Addres Inputs : BA0 and BA1 define to which bank ACTIVE, READ, WRITE or PRECHARGE command is being applied.
A [n : 0]
Input
Address Inputs : Provide the row address for ACTIVE commands, the column address and
AUTO PRECHARGE bit for READ/WRITE commands, to select one location out of the memory array in the respective bank. 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 BA0, BA1. The address inputs also
provide the op-code during a MODE REGISTER SET command. BA0 and BA1 define which
mode register is loaded during the MODE REGISTER SET command (MRS or EMRS).
DQ
I/O
Data Input/Output : Data bus
LDQS,(U)DQS
I/O
Data Strobe : Output with read data, input with write data. Edge-aligned with read data, centered in write data. Used to capture write data. For the x16, LDQS corresponds to the data on
DQ0-DQ7 ; UDQS corresponds to the data on DQ8-DQ15.
QFC
Output
FET Control : Optional. Output during every Read and Write access. Can be used to control
isolation switches on modules.

3.2 Basic Functionality
3.2.1 Power-Up and Initialization Sequence
The following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization.
1. Apply power and attempt to maintain CKE at a low state(all other inputs may be undefined.)
- Apply VDD before or at the same time as VDDQ.
- Apply VDDQ before or at the same time as VTT & Vref.
2. Start clock and maintain stable condition for a minimum of 200us.
3. The minimum of 200us after stable power and clock(CK, CK), apply NOP & take CKE high.
4. Issue precharge commands for all banks of the device.
*1 5. Issue EMRS to enable DLL.(To issue "DLL Enable" command, provide "Low" to A0, "High" to BA0 and "Low"
to all of the rest address pins, A1~A11 and BA1)
*1 6. Issue a mode register set command for "DLL reset". The additional 200 cycles of clock input is required to
lock the DLL.
(To issue DLL reset command, provide "High" to A8 and "Low" to BA0)
*2 7. Issue precharge commands for all banks of the device.
8. Issue 2 or more auto-refresh commands.
9. Issue a mode register set command with low to A8 to initialize device operation.
*1 Every "DLL enable" command resets DLL. Therefore sequence 6 can be skipped during power up.
Instead of it, the additional 200 cycles of clock input is required to lock the DLL after enabling DLL.
*2 Sequence of 6 & 7 is regardless of the order.

3.2.2 Mode Register Definition
3.2.2.1 Mode Register Set(MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of DDR SDRAM. It programs
CAS latency, addressing mode, burst length, test mode, DLL reset and various vendor specific options to make
DDR 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 DDR SDRAM operation. The mode
register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS, WE and BA0(The DDR SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register). The states of address pins A0 ~ A12 in
the same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS, WE and BA0 going low are written in the mode register. Two 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, addressing mode uses A3, CAS latency(read latency from column address) uses A4 ~ A6. A7 is used
for test mode. A8 is used for DLL reset. A7 must be set to low for normal MRS operation. Refer to the table for
specific codes for various burst lengths, addressing modes and CAS latencies.

DLL Enable/Disable
The DLL must be enabled for normal operation. DLL enable is required during power-up initialization, and
upon returing to normal operation after having disabled the DLL for the purpose of debug or evaluation (upon
exiting Self Refresh Mode, the DLL is enabled automatically). Any time the DLL is enabled, 200 clock cycles
must occur before a READ command can be issued.
Output Drive Strength
The normal drive strength for all outputs is specified to be SSTL_2, Class II. Some vendors might also support
a weak driver strength option, intended for lighter load and/or point-to-point environments. I-V curves for the
normal drive strength and weak drive strength will be included in a future revision of this document.

3.2.2.2 Extended Mode Register Set(EMRS)
The extended mode register stores the data for enabling or disabling DLL, QFC and selecting output driver
size. The default value of the extended mode register is not defined, therefore the extened mode register must
be written after power up for enabling or disabling DLL. The extended mode register is written by asserting low
on CS, RAS, CAS, WE and high on BA0(The DDR 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 BA1 in the
same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS and WE going low are written in the extended mode register. Two clock cycles
are required to complete the write operation in the extended 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. A0 is used for DLL enable or disable. "High" on BA0 is used for EMRS. All the other address
pins except A0 and BA0 must be set to low for proper EMRS operation. Refer to the table for specific codes.

3.2.3 Precharge
The precharge command is used to precharge or close a bank that has been activated. The precharge command is issued when CS, RAS and WE are low and CAS is high at the rising edge of the clock. The precharge
command can be used to precharge each bank respectively or all banks simultaneously. The bank select
addresses(BA0, BA1) are used to define which bank is precharged when the command is initiated. For write
cycle, tWR(min.) must be satisfied until the precharge command can be issued. After tRP from the precharge,
an active command to the same bank can be initiated.

The device should be deselected by deactivating the CS signal. In this mode DDR SDRAM should ignore
all the control inputs. The DDR SDRAMs are put in NOP mode when CS is active and by deactivating RAS,
CAS and WE. For both Deselect and NOP the device should finish the current operation when this command is issued.

3.2.5 Row Active
The Bank Activation command is issued by holding CAS and WE high with CS and RAS low at the rising
edge of the clock(CK). The DDR SDRAM has four independent banks, so two Bank Select addresses(BA0,
BA1) are required. The Bank Activation command must be applied before any Read or Write operation is executed. The delay from the Bank Activation command to the first read or write command must meet or exceed
the minimum of RAS to CAS delay time(tRCD min). Once a bank has been activated, it must be precharged
before another Bank Activation command can be applied to the same bank. The minimum time interval
between interleaved Bank Activation commands(Bank A to Bank B and vice versa) is the Bank to Bank delay
time(tRRD min).

3.2.6 Read Bank
This command is used after the row activate command to initiate the burst read of data. The read command
is initiated by activating RAS, CS, CAS, and deasserting WE at the same clock sampling(rising) edge as
described in the command truth table. The length of the burst and the CAS latency time will be determined by
the values programmed during the MRS command.
3.2.7 Write Bank
This command is used after the row activate command to initiate the burst write of data. The write command is initiated by activating RAS, CS, CAS, and WE at the same clock sampling(rising) edge as described in
the command truth table. The length of the burst will be determined by the values programmed during the
MRS command.

3.3 Essential Functionality for DDR SDRAM
The essential functionality that is required for the DDR SDRAM device is described in this chapter
3.3.1 Burst Read Operation
Burst Read operation in DDR SDRAM is in the same manner as the current SDRAM such that the Burst read
command is issued by asserting CS and CAS low while holding RAS and WE high at the rising edge of the
clock(CK) after tRCD from the bank activation. The address inputs (A0~A9) determine the starting address for
the Burst. The Mode Register sets type of burst(Sequential or interleave) and burst length(2, 4, 8). The first
output data is available after the CAS Latency from the READ command, and the consecutive data are presented on the falling and rising edge of Data Strobe(DQS) adopted by DDR SDRAM until the burst length is
completed.

3.3.2 Burst Write Operation
The Burst Write command is issued by having CS, CAS, and WE low while holding RAS high at the rising
edge of the clock(CK). The address inputs determine the starting column address. There is no write latency
relative to DQS required for burst write cycle. The first data of a burst write cycle must be applied on the DQ
pins tDS(Data-in setup time) prior to data strobe edge enabled after tDQSS from the rising edge of the
clock(CK) that the write command is issued. The remaining data inputs must be supplied on each subsequent
falling and rising edge of Data Strobe until the burst length is completed. When the burst has been finished, any
additional data supplied to the DQ pins will be ignored.

3.3.3 Read Interrupted by a Read
A Burst Read can be interrupted before completion of the burst by new Read command of any bank. When
the previous burst is interrupted, the remaining addresses are overridden by the new address with the full burst
length. The data from the first Read command continues to appear on the outputs until the CAS latency from
the interrupting Read command is satisfied. At this point the data from the interrupting Read command
appears. Read to Read interval is minimum 1 Clock.

3.3.4 Read Interrupted by a Write & Burst Stop
To interrupt a burst read with a write command, Burst Stop command must be asserted to avoid data contention on the I/O bus by placing the DQ’s(Output drivers) in a high impedance state. To insure the DQ’s are tristated one cycle before the beginning the write operation, Burst stop command must be applied at least 2
clock cycles for CL=2 and at least 3 clock cycles for CL=2.5 before the Write command.

The following functionality establishes how a Write command may interrupt a Read burst.
1. For Write commands interrupting a Read burst, a Burst Terminate command is required to stop the read
burst and tristate the DQ bus prior to valid input write data. Once the Burst Terminate command has been
issued, the minimum delay to a Write command = RU(CL) [CL is the CAS Latency and RU means round up
to the nearest integer].
2. It is illegal for a Write command to interrupt a Read with autoprecharge command.

Figure 13. Read interrupted by a precharge timing
When a burst Read command is issued to a DDR SDRAM, a Precharge command may be issued to the same
bank before the Read burst is complete. The following functionality determines when a Precharge command
may be given during a Read burst and when a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank.
1. For the earliest possible Precharge command without interrupting a Read burst, the Precharge command
may be given on the rising clock edge which is CL clock cycles before the end of the Read burst where CL
is the CAS Latency. A new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tRP (RAS
Precharge time).
2. When a Precharge command interrupts a Read burst operation, the Precharge command may be given on
the rising clock edge which is CL clock cycles before the last data from the interrupted Read burst where
CL is the CAS Latency. Once the last data word has been output, the output buffers are tristated. A new
Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tRP.
3. For a Read with autoprecharge command, a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same
bank after tRP where tRP begins on the rising clock edge which is CL clock cycles before the end of the
Read burst where CL is the CAS Latency. During Read with autoprecharge, the initiation of the internal
precharge occurs at the same time as the earliest possible external Precharge command would initiate a
precharge operation without interrupting the Read burst as described in 1 above.
4. For all cases above, tRP is an analog delay that needs to be converted into clock cycles. The number of
clock cycles between a Precharge command and a new Bank Activate command to the same bank equals
tRP/tCK (where tCK is the clock cycle time) with the result rounded up to the nearest integer number of
clock cycles. (Note that rounding to X.5 is not possible since the Precharge and Bank Activate commands
can only be given on a rising clock edge).
In all cases, a Precharge operation cannot be initiated unless tRAS(min) [minimum Bank Activate to Precharge
time] has been satisfied. This includes Read with autoprecharge commands where tRAS(min) must still be
satisfied such that a Read with autoprecharge command has the same timing as a Read command followed by
the earliest possible Precharge command which does not interrupt the burst.

A burst write can be interrupted by a read command of any bank. The DQ’s must be in the high impedance
state at least one clock cycle before the interrupting read data appear on the outputs to avoid data contention.
When the read command is registered, any residual data from the burst write cycle must be masked by DM.
The delay from the last data to read command (tCDLR) is required to avoid the data contention DRAM inside.
Data that are presented on the DQ pins before the read command is initiated will actually be written to the
memory. Read command interrupting write can not be issued at the next clock edge of that of write command.

The following function established how a Read command may interrupt a Write burst and which input data is
not written into the memory.
1. For Read commands interrupting a Write burst, the minimum Write to Read command delay is 2 clock
cycles. The case where the Write to Read delay is 1 clock cycle is disallowed
2. For Read commands interrupting a Write burst, the DM pin must be used to mask the input data words
whcich immediately precede the interrupting Read operation and the input data word which immediately
follows the interrupting Read operation
3. For all cases of a Read interrupting a Write, the DQ and DQS buses must be released by the driving chip
(i.e., the memory controller) in time to allow the buses to turn around before the DDR SDRAM drives them
during a read operation.
4. If input Write data is masked by the Read command, the DQS input is ignored by the DDR SDRAM.

Figure 16. Write interrupted by a precharge and DM timing
Precharge timing for Write operations in DRAMs requires enough time to allow “write recovery” which is the
time required by a DRAM core to properly store a full “0” or “1” level before a Precharge operation. For DDR
SDRAM, a timing parameter, tWR, is used to indicate the required amount of time between the last valid write
operation and a Precharge command to the same bank.
The precharge timing for writes is a complex definition since the write data is sampled by the data strobe and
the address is sampled by the input clock. Inside the SDRAM, the data path is eventually synchronized with
the address path by switching clock domains from the data strobe clock domain to the input clock domain.
This makes the definition of when a precharge operation can be initiated after a write very complex since the
write recovery parameter must reference only the clock domain that is used to time the internal write operation,
i.e., the input clock domain.
tWR starts on the rising clock edge after the last possible DQS edge that strobed in the last valid data and
ends on the rising clock edge that strobes in the precharge command.
1. For the earliest possible Precharge command following a Write burst without interrupting the burst, the
minimum time for write recovery is defined by tWR.
2. When a precharge command interrupts a Write burst operation, the data mask pin, DM, is used to mask
input data during the time between the last valid write data and the rising clock edge on which the
Precharge command is given. During this time, the DQS input is still required to strobe in the state of DM.
The minimum time for write recovery is defined by tWR.

3. For a Write with autoprecharge command, a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same
bank after tWR+tRP where tWR+tRP starts on the falling DQS edge that strobed in the last valid data and
ends on the rising clock edge that strobes in the Bank Activate command. During write with
autoprecharge, the initiation of the internal precharge occurs at the same time as the earliest possible
external Precharge command without interrupting the Write burst as described in 1 above.
4. In all cases, a Precharge operation cannot be initiated unless tRAS(min) [minimum Bank Activate to
Precharge time] has been satisfied. This includes Write with autoprecharge commands where tRAS(min)
must still be satisfied such that a Write with autoprecharge command has the same timing as a Write
command followed by the earliest possible Precharge command which does not interrupt the burst.
5. Refer to "3.3.2 Burst write operation"
3.3.9 Burst Stop
The burst stop command is initiated by having RAS and CAS high with CS and WE low at the rising edge of
the clock(CK). The burst stop command has the fewest restrictions making it the easiest method to use when
terminating a burst read operation before it has been completed. When the burst stop command is issued during a burst read cycle, the pair of data and DQS(Data Strobe) go to a high impedance state after a delay which
is equal to the CAS latency set in the mode register. The burst stop command, however, is not supported during a write burst operation.

2. BST is only a valid command during Read bursts.
3. BST during a Write burst is undefined and shall not be used.

REV. 0.3 November 2. 2000

6. When terminating a burst Read command, the BST command must be issued LBST (“BST Latency”) clock
cycles before the clock edge at which the output buffers are tristated, where LBST equals the CAS latency
for read operations. This is shown in previous page Figure with examples for CAS latency (CL) of 1.5, 2,
2.5, 3 and 3.5 (only selected CAS latencies are required by the DDR SDRAM standards, the others are
optional).
7. When the burst terminates, the DQ and DQS pins are tristated.
The BST command is not byte controllable and applies to all bits in the DQ data word and the(all) DQS pin(s).
3.3.10 DM masking
The DDR SDRAM has a data mask function that can be used in conjunction with data write cycle, not read
cycle. When the data mask is activated (DM high) during write operation, DDR SDRAM does not accept the
corresponding data.(DM to data-mask latency is zero).
DM must be issued at the rising or falling edge of data strobe.

3.3.13 Auto Refresh & Self Refresh
Auto Refresh
An auto refresh command is issued by having CS, RAS and CAS held low with CKE and WE high at the rising edge of the clock(CK). All banks must be precharged and idle for tRP(min) before the auto refresh command is applied. No control of the external address pins is required once this cycle has started because of the
internal address counter. When the refresh cycle has completed, all banks will be in the idle state. A delay
between the auto refresh command and the next activate command or subsequent auto refresh command
must be greater than or equal to the tRFC(min).

A self refresh command is defined by having CS, RAS, CAS and CKE held low with WE high at the rising
edge of the clock(CK). Once the self refresh command is initiated, CKE must be held low to keep the device in
self refresh mode. During the self refresh operation, all inputs except CKE are ignored. The clock is internally
disabled during self refresh operation to reduce power consumption. The self refresh is exited by supplying
stable clock input before returning CKE high, asserting deselect or NOP command and then asserting CKE
high for longer than tXSR for locking of DLL.

3.3.14 Power down
The power down mode is entered when CKE is low and exited when CKE is high. Once the power down
mode is initiated, all of the receiver circuits except clock, CKE and DLL circuit tree are gated off to reduce
power consumption. All banks should be in idle state prior to entering the precharge power down mode and
CKE should be set high at least 1tck+tIS prior to row active command . During power down mode, refresh
operations cannot be performed, therefore the device cannot be remained in power down mode longer than
the refresh period(Data retension time) of the device.

Table 8. Command truth table
1. OP Code : Operand Code. A 0 ~ A11 & BA0 ~ BA1 : Program keys. (@EMRS/MRS)
2.EMRS/ MRS can be issued only at all banks precharge state.
A new command can be issued 2 clock cycles after EMRS or MRS.
3. Auto refresh functions are same as the CBR refresh of DRAM.
The automatical precharge without row precharge command is meant by "Auto".
Auto/self refresh can be issued only at all banks precharge state.
4. BA 0 ~ BA 1 : Bank select addresses.
If both BA 0 and BA1 are "Low" at read, write, row active and precharge, bank A is selected.
If both BA 0 is "High" and BA 1 is "Low" at read, write, row active and precharge, bank B is selected.
If both BA 0 is "Low" and BA 1 is "High" at read, write, row active and precharge, bank C is selected.
If both BA 0 and BA1 are "High" at read, write, row active and precharge, bank D is selected.
5. If A10/AP is "High" at row precharge, BA 0 and BA1 are ignored and all banks are selected.
6. During burst write with auto precharge, new read/write command can not be issued.
Another bank read/write command can be issued after the end of burst.
New row active of the associated bank can be issued at tRP after the end of burst.
7. Burst stop command is valid at every burst length.
8. DM sampled at the rising and falling edges of the DQS and Data-in are masked at the both edges (Write DM latency is 0).
9. This combination is not defined for any function, which means "No Operation(NOP)" in DDR SDRAM.

.
1. Maximum burst refresh of 8
2. tHZQ transitions occurs 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.
3. The specific requirement is that DQS be valid(High or Low) on or before this CK edge. The case shown(DQS going from
High_Z to logic Low) applies when no writes were previously in progress on the bus. If a previous write was in progress,
DQS could be High at this time, depending on tDQSS.
4. The maximum limit for this parameter is not a device limit. The device will operate with a great value for this parameter,
but system performance (bus turnaround) will degrade accordingly.
5. The value of tQCSW min. is 1.25ns from the last low going data strobe edge to QFC high. And the value of
tQCSW max. is 0.5tcK from the first high going clock edge after the last low going data strobe edge to QFC
high.
6. the value of tQCSWI max. is 1.5tcK from the first high going clock edge after the last low going data strobe
edge to QFC high.
7. A write command can be applied with tRCD satisfied after this command.

12. QFC function
QFC definition
when drive low on reads coincident with the start of DQS, this DRAM output signal says that one cycle later
there will be the first valid DQS output and returned to HI-Z after this finishing a burst operation. It is also
driven low shortly after a write command is received and returned to HI-Z shortly after the last data strobe
transition is received. Whenever the device is in standby, the signal is HI-Z. DQS is intended to enable an
external data switch. QFC can be enabled or disabled through EMRS control.
QFC timing on Read operation
QFC on reads is enabled coincident with the start of DQS preamble, and disabled coincident with the end of
DQS postamble
