5.0 INPUT/OUTPUT FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Symbol
Type
Function
CK, CK
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). CK, CK should be maintained stable, except self-refresh mode
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 power-down. 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 WDQS loading.
BA0,BA1
Input
Bank Address Inputs: BA0 and BA1 define to which bank an Active, Read, Write or Precharge command is
being applied.
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,BA2. 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.

7.2 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.
3. Minimum 200us delay required prior to applying any executable command after stable power and clock.
4. Once the 200us delay has been satisfied, a DESELECT or NOP command should be applied, then RESET and CKE should be
brought to HIGH,
5. Issue a PRECHARGE ALL command following after NOP command.
6. Issue a EMRS command (BA1BA0="01") to enable the DLL.
7. Issue MRS command (BA0BA1 = "00") to reset the DLL and to program the operating parameters.
20K clock cycles are required between the DLL to lock.
8. Issue a PRECHARGE ALL command
9 . 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.

7.3 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 the 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 clock cycles specified as tMRD are required 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 ~ A1. CAS latency (read latency from column address) uses A2, A6 ~ A4. 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.

256M GDDR3 SDRAM
K4J55323QG
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 of the desired output impedance.
For example, a 240Ω resistor is required for an output impedance of 40 Ω. 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.
MF,SEN, 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 voltage supply 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 update. To guarantee optimum output driver impedance after power-up, the GDDR3(x32) needs at least 20us after the clock is applied and stable to calibrate the impedance upon power-up. The user may operate the part with less than 20us, but the 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 during 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. 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 M3.
This device does not support the interleaved burst mode found in GDDR 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

2. For a burst length of eight, A3-A7 select the block of eight burst; A0-A2 select the starting column within the block.

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 4~15 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 7 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.

TEST MODE
The normal operating mode is selected by issuing a MODE REGISTER SET command with bits A7 set to zero, and bits A0-A6 and A8A11 set to the desired values. Test mode is entered by issuing a MODE REGISTER SET command with bit A7 set to one, and bits A0A6 and A8-A11 set to the desired values. Test mode functions are specific to each Dram Manufacturer and its exact functions are hidden
from the user.
DLL RESET
The normal operating mode is selected by issuing a MODE REGISTER SET command with bit A7 set to zero, and bits A0-A6 and A8A11 set to the desired values. A DLL reset is initiated by issuing a MODE REGISTER SET command with bit A8 set to one, and bits A0A7 and A9-A11 set to the desired values. When a DLL Reset is complete the GDDR3 SDRAM reset bit 8 of the mode register to a zero.
After DLL Reset MRS, Power down can not be issued within 10 clock.
In case the clock frequency need to be changed after the power-up, 256Mb GDDR3 doesn’t require DLL reset. Instead, DLL should
be disabled first before the frequency changed and then change the clock frequency as needed. After the clock frequency changed,
there needed some time till clock become stable and then enable the DLL and then 20K cycle required to lock the DLL

7.4 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,BA1 in the same cycle as CS, RAS,
CAS and WE going low are written in the extended mode register. The minimum clock cycles specified as tMRD 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 an any 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 auto calibration is used the data
driver impedance is set to RQ/6 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.

7.7 BOUNDARY SCAN FUNCTION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 256Mb GDDR3 incorporates a modified boundary scan test mode as an optional feature. This mode doesn’t operate in accordance with IEEE Standard 1149.1 - 1990. To save the current GDDR3 ball-out, this mode will scan parallel data input and output and
the scanned data through WDQS0 pin controlled by an add-on pin, SEN which is located at V4 of 136 ball package.
For the normal device operation other than boundary scan, there required device re-initialization by device power-off and then power-on.
DISABLING THE SCAN FEATURE
It is possible to operate the 256Mb GDDR3 without using the boundary scan feature. SEN(at V-4 of 136 ball package) should be tied
LOW(VSS) to prevent the device from entering the boundary scan mode. The other pins which are used for scan mode, RES, MF,
WDQS0 and CS# will be operating at normal GDDR3 function when SEN is de-asserted.

be read as floating. Accordingly, ZQ pin should be driven
by any signal.

*Note :
1. When SEN is asserted, no commands are to be executed by the GDDR3 SDRAM. This applies to both user commands and manufacturing commands which may exist
while RES is de-asserted.
2. All scan functionalities are valid only after the appropriate power-up and initialization sequence. (RES and CKE, to set the ODT of the C/A)
3. In scan mode, the ODT for the address and control lines set to a nominal termination value of ZQ. The ODT for DQ’s will be disabled. It is not necessary for the termination
to be calibrated.
4. In a double-load clam-shell configuration, SEN will be asserted to both devices. Separate two SOE’s should be provided to top and bottom devices to access the scanned
output. When either of the devices is in scan mode, SOE for the other device which not in a scan will be disabled.

7.8 Mirror Function
The GDDR3 SDRAM provides a mirror function (MF) ball to change the physical location of the control lines and all address lines
which helps to route devices back to back. The MF ball will affect RAS, CAS, WE, CS and CKE on balls H3, F4, H9, F9 and H4
respectively and A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, BA0 and BA1 on balls K4, H2, K3, M4, K9, H11, K10, L9, K11, M9,
K2, L4, G4 and G9 respectively and only detects a DC input. The MF ball should be tied directly to VSS or VDD depending on the control
line orientation desired. When the MF ball is tied low the ball orientation is as follows, RAS - H3, CAS - F4, WE - H9, CS - F9, CKE H4, A0 - K4, A1 - H2, A2 - K3, A3 - M4, A4 - K9, A5 - H11, A6 - K10, A7 - L9, A8 - K11, A9 - M9, A10 - K2, A11 - L4, BA0 - G4 and
BA1 - G9. The high condition on the MF ball will change the location of the control balls as follows; CS - F4, CAS - F9, RAS - H10, WE
- H4, CKE - H9, A0 - K9, A1 - H11, A2 - K10, A3 - M9, A4 - K4, A5 - H2, A6 - K3, A7 - L4, A8 - K2, A9 - M4, A10 - K11,

7.9 OPERATIONS
/CK
CK
7.9.1 BANK/ROW ACTIVATION
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 800MHz clock (1.25ns period) results in 12.8 clocks rounded to 13. This is reflected in
below figure, which covers any case where 12<tRCD(min)/tCK≤ 13.
The same procedure is used to convert other specification limits from time 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 commands 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.

7.9.2 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 precharged 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 transition 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.

7.9.3 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.

7.9.4 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 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.

7.9.5 POWER-DOWN (CKE NOT ACTIVE)
Unlike SDR 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.
/CAS
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 powerdown. 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 power-down. However, power-down duration is
limited by the refresh requirements of the device, so in most applications,the selfrefresh 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"
except data terminator disable command.

(if A8 is LOW; otherwise "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 tPDEX later.

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.

Note :
1. CKE is HIGH for all commands except SELF REFRESH.
2. BA0 and BA1 select either the mode register or the extended mode register (BA0=0, BA1=0 select the mode register; BA0=1, BA1=0 select
extended mode register; other combinations of BA0~BA1 are reserved). A0~A11 provide the op-code to be written to the selected mode register.
3. BA0 and BA1 provide bank address and A0~A11 provide row address.
4. BA0 and BA1 provide bank address; A0~A7 and A9 provide column address; A8 HIGH enables the auto precharge feature (nonpersistent) , and A8
LOW disables the auto precharge feature.
5. A8 LOW : BA0 and BA1 determine which banks are precharged.
A8 HIGH : All banks are precharged.
6. This command is AUTO REFRESH if CKE is HIGH, SELF REFRESH if CKE is LOW.
7. Internal refresh counter controls row addressing; ll inputs and I/Os are "Don’t Care" except for CKE.
8. DESELECT and NOP are functionally interchangeable.
9. Cannot be in powerdown or self-refresh state.
10. Used to mask write data ; provided coincident with the corresponding data.
11. Except DATA Termination disable.
DESELECT
The DESELECT function (/CS high) prevents new commands from being executed by the GDDR3(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 and
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.

Rev. 1.1 November 2005
256M GDDR3 SDRAM
K4J55323QG
READ
The READ command is used to initiate a burst read access to an active row. The value on the BA0 and BA1 inputs select 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 and BA1 inputs select 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.
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 non persistent 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 non persistent, 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)
GDDR3 requires Auto Refresh cycles at an average interval of 3.9us (maximum).
A maximum 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 3.9us(35.1us). This maximum absolute interval is to
allow GDDR3(x32) SDRAM output drivers and internal terminators to automatically re calibrate 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. (20K 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 20K clock cycles before applying any other command to allow
the DLL to lock and the output drivers to recalibrate.

DATA TERMINATION 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.
ON-DIE TERMINATION
Bus snooping for READ commands other than /CS is used to control the on-die termination in the dual load configuration. The GDDR3
SDRAM will disable the on-die termination when a READ command is detected, regardless of the state of
/CS, when the ODT for the DQ pins are set for dual loads (120Ω). 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.

Note :
1. Under all conditions, VDDQ must be less than or equal to VDD.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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. 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 frequency),
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).
5. The cycle to cycle jitter over 1~6 cycle short term jitter
