Description
CK, CK
Input
Differential 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 . Input and output data is referenced to the crossing of CK
and CK (both directions of the crossing)
CKE
Input
Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CK signal.
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 all functions
except for disabling outputs, which is asynchronous. Input buffers, excluding
CK, CK and CKE, are disabled during Power Down and Self Refresh modes to
reduce standby power consumption.
BA0, BA1
Input
Bank Activate: BA0 and BA1 define to which bank the BankActivate, Read, Write,
or BankPrecharge command is being applied. BA0 and BA1 also determine which
mode register (MRS or EMRS) is loaded during a Mode Register Set command.
A0-A11
Input
Address Inputs: A0-A11 are sampled during the BankActivate command (row
address A0-A11) and Read/Write command (column address A0-A8 with A10
defining Auto Precharge).
CS
Input
Chip Select: CS enables (sampled LOW) and disables (sampled HIGH) the
command decoder. All commands are masked when CS is sampled HIGH.
CS provides for external bank selection on systems with multiple banks. It is
considered part of the command code.
RAS
Input
Row Address Strobe: The RAS signal defines the operation commands in
conjunction with the CAS and WE signals and is latched at the positive edges of
CK. When RAS and CS are asserted "LOW" and CAS is asserted "HIGH," either
the BankActivate command or the Precharge command is selected by the WE
signal. When the WE is asserted "HIGH," the BankActivate command is selected
and the bank designated by BA is turned on to the active state. When the WE is
asserted "LOW," the Precharge command is selected and the bank designated by
BA is switched to the idle state after the precharge operation.
CAS
Input
Column Address Strobe: The CAS signal defines the operation commands in
conjunction with the RAS and WE signals and is latched at the positive edges of
CK. When RAS is held "HIGH" and CS is asserted "LOW," the column access is
started by asserting CAS "LOW." Then, the Read or Write command is selected
by asserting WE "HIGH " or LOW"."
WE
Input
Write Enable: The WE signal defines the operation commands in conjunction
with the RAS and CAS signals and is latched at the positive edges of CK. The
WE input is used to select the BankActivate or Precharge command and Read or
Write command.
LDQS, UDQS
Input /
Bidirectional Data Strobe: DQS is an output with read data and an input with
write data. DQS is edge-aligned with read data, centered in write data. It is used to
capture data. For x16, LDQS is DQS for DQ0-DQ7 and UDQS is DQS for DQ8DQ15.

LDM, UDM
Input
Data Input Mask: DM is an input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked
when DM is sampled High along with input data during a Write access. DM is
sampled on both edges of DQS. DM pins include dummy parasitic loading
internally to match the DQ and DQS loading. For x16, LDM is DM for DQ0-DQ7
and UDM is DM for DQ8-DQ15.

Functional Description
This 128Mb Mobile DDR SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic random-access memory containing
134,217,728 bits. It is internally configured as a quad-bank DRAM. Each of the 33,554,432-bit banks is organized
as 4,096 rows by 512 columns by 16 bits. The 128Mb Mobile DDR SDRAM uses a double data rate architecture
to achieve high speed operation. EM68916D is applied to reduce leakage and refresh currents while achieving
very high speed. The double data rate architecture is essentially a 2n-prefetch architecture, with an interface
designed to transfer two data words per clock cycle at the I/O balls. Single read or write access for the 128Mb
Mobile DDR SDRAM consists of a single 2n-bit wide, one-clock-cycle data transfer at the internal DRAM core
and two corresponding n-bit wide, one-half-clock-cycle data transfers at the I/O balls.
Read and write accesses to the Mobile DDR SDRAM are burst oriented; accesses start at a selected location
and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence. Accesses begin with 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, BA1 select the bank, A0-A11 select
the row). The address bits (BA0, BA1 select the bank, A0-A8 select the column) registered coincident with the
READ or WRITE command are used to select the starting column location for the burst access.
Note that the DLL (Delay Lock Loop) circuitry used on standard DDR devices is not included in the Mobile DDR
SDRAM. It has been omitted to save power.
Prior to normal operation, the Mobile DDR SDRAM must be initialized.
z Power-Up and Initialization
Mobile DDR SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures
other than those specified may result in undefined operation. To properly initialize the Mobile DDR SDRAM,
this sequence must be followed:
1. To prevent device latch-up, it is recommended that core power (VDD) and I/O power (VDDQ) be from the
same power source and be brought up simultaneously. If separate power sources are used, VDD must lead
VDDQ.
2. Once power supply voltages are stable and CKE has been driven High, it is safe to apply the clock.
3. Once the clock is stable, a 200µs (minimum) delay is required by the Mobile DDR SDRAM prior to applying
an executable command. During this time, NOP or Deselect commands must be issued on the command
bus.
4. Issue a Precharge All command.
5. Issue NOP or Deselect commands for at least tRP time.
6. Issue an Auto Refresh command followed by NOP or Deselect commands for at least tRFC time. Issue a
second Auto Refresh command followed by NOP or Deselect commands for at least tRFC time. As part of
the individualization sequence, two Auto Refresh commands must be issued. Typically, both of these
commands are issued at this stage as described above. Alternately, the second Auto Refresh command
and NOP or Deselect sequence can be issued between steps 10 and 11.
7. Using the Mode Register Set command, load the standard Mode Register as desired.
8. Issue NOP or Deselect commands for at least tMRD time.
9. Using the Mode Register Set command, load the Extended Mode Register to the desired operating modes.
Note that the sequence in which the standard and extended mode registers are programmed is not critical.
10. Issue NOP or Deselect commands for at least tMRD time.
11. The Mobile DDR SDRAM has been properly initialized and is ready to receive any valid command.

z Mode Register Set(MRS)
The Mode Register stores the data for controlling various operating modes of a DDR SDRAM. It programs
CAS Latency, Burst Type, and Burst Length to make the Mobile DDR SDRAM useful for a variety of
applications. The default value of the Mode Register is not defined; therefore the Mode Register must be
written by the user. Values stored in the register will be retained until the register is reprogrammed, the device
enters Deep Power Down mode, or power is removed from the device. The Mode Register is written by
asserting Low on CS , RAS , CAS , WE , BA1 and BA0 (the device should have all banks idle with no bursts in
progress prior to writing into the mode register, and CKE should be High). The state of address pins A0~A11
and BA0, BA1 in the same cycle in which CS , RAS , CAS and WE are asserted Low is written into the Mode
Register. A minimum of two clock cycles, tMRD, are required to complete the write operation in the Mode
Register. The Mode Register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. The Burst Length uses
A0~A2, Burst Type uses A3, and CAS Latency (read latency from column address) uses A4~A6. A logic 0
should be programmed to all the undefined addresses to ensure future compatibility. Reserved states should
not be used to avoid unknown device operation or incompatibility with future versions. Refer to the table for
specific codes for various burst lengths, burst types and CAS latencies.

Burst Mode Operation
Burst Mode operation is used to provide a constant flow of data to memory locations (write cycle) or from
memory locations (read cycle). There are two parameters that define how the Burst Mode operates. These
parameters include Burst Type and Burst Length and are programmed by addresses A0~A3 during the
Mode Register Set command. Burst Type is used to define the sequence in which the burst data will be
delivered from or stored to the DDR SDRAM. Two types of burst sequences are supported, Sequential and
Interleaved. See the table below. The Burst Length controls the number of bits that will be output after a read
command, or the number of bits to be input after a write command. The Burst Length can be programmed to
have a value of 2, 4, or 8.

z Extended Mode Register Set (EMRS )
The Extended Mode Register is designed to support Partial Array Self Refresh and Driver Strength. The
EMRS cycle is not mandatory, and the EMRS command needs to be issued only when either PASR or DS is
used. The Extended Mode Register is written by asserting Low on CS , RAS , CAS , WE , and BA0 and High
on BA1 (the device should have all banks idle with no bursts in progress prior to writing into the Extended
Mode Register, and CKE should be High). Values stored in the register will be retained until the register is
reprogrammed, the device enters Deep Power Down mode, or power is removed from the device. The state
of address pins A0~A11 and BA0, BA1 in the same cycle in which CS , RAS , CAS and WE are asserted
Low is written into the Extended Mode Register. Two clock cycles, tMRD, are required to complete the write
operation in the Extended Mode Register. A0~A2 are used for Partial Array Self Refresh and A5~A6 are used
for Driver Strength. An automatic Temperature Compensated Self Refresh function is included with a
temperature sensor embedded into this device. A3~A4 are no longer used to control this function; any inputs
applied to A3~A4 during EMRS are ignored. All the other address pins, A7~A11 and BA0, must be set to Low
for proper EMRS operation. Refer to the tables below for specific codes. If the user does not write values to
the Extended Mode Register, DS defaults to Full Strength; and PASR defaults to the Full Array.

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED SELF REFRESH
In order to reduce power consumption, a Mobile DDR SDRAM includes the internal temperature sensor and
other circuitry to control Self Refresh operation automatically according to two temperature ranges: max. 40°C
and max. 85°C

PARTIAL ARRAY SELF REFRESH
For further power savings during Self Refresh, the PASR feature allows the controller to select the amount of
memory that will be refreshed during Self Refresh. The refresh options are all banks (banks 0, 1, 2 and 3);
two banks (bank 0 and 1); and one bank (bank 0). Write and Read commands can still affect any bank during
standard operations, but only the selected banks will be refreshed during Self Refresh. Data in unselected
banks will be lost.

z Bank Activation / Row Address Command
The Bank Activation / Row Address command, also called the Active 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 Active command must be
applied before any read or write operation is executed. The delay from the Active 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 Active command can be applied to the same bank.
The minimum time interval between interspersed Active commands (Bank 0 to Bank 3, for example) is the
bank to bank delay time (tRRD min).
z Burst Read Operation
Burst Read operation in a DDR SDRAM is initiated by asserting CS and RAS Low while holding RAS and
WE High at the rising edge of the clock (CK) after tRCD from the Active command. The address inputs (A0~A8)
determine the starting address for the Burst. The Mode Register sets the type of burst (Sequential or
Interleaved) and the burst length (2, 4, or 8). The first output data is available after the CAS Latency from the
Read command, and the consecutive data bits are presented on the falling and rising edges of Data Strobe
(DQS) as supplied by the DDR SDRAM until the burst is completed.
z 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 the Burst Write cycle. The first data for a Burst Write cycle must be applied at the
first rising edge of the data strobe enabled after tDQSS from the rising edge of the clock when the Write
command was issued. The remaining data inputs must be supplied on each subsequent falling and rising
edge of Data Strobe until the burst length is completed. After the burst has finished, any additional data
supplied to the DQ pins will be ignored.
z Burst Interruption
Read Interrupted by Read
Burst Read can be interrupted before completion of the burst by a new Read command to any bank. When
the previous burst is interrupted, data bits from the remaining addresses are overridden by data from the new
addresses with the full burst length. The data from the previous 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. The Read to Read interval is a minimum of 1 clock.
Read Interrupted by Burst Stop & Write
To interrupt Burst Read with a write command, the Burst Stop command must be asserted to avoid data
contention on the I/O bus by placing the DQ (output drivers) in a high impedance state. To ensure the DQ are
tri-stated one cycle before the beginning of the write operation, the Burst Stop command must be applied at
least 2 clock cycles for CL = 2 and at least 3 clock cycles for CL = 3 before the Write command.
Read Interrupted by Precharge
Burst Read can be interrupted by a Precharge of the same bank. A minimum of 1 clock cycle is required for
the read precharge interval. A Precharge command to output disable latency is equivalent to the CAS latency.

Write Interrupted by Write
A Burst Write can be interrupted by the new Write command before completion of the previous Burst Write,
with the only restriction being that the interval that separates the commands must be at least one clock cycle.
When the previous burst is interrupted, the remaining addresses are overridden by the new addresses and
the new data will be written into the device until the programmed Burst Length is satisfied.
Write Interrupted by Read & DM
A Burst Write can be interrupted by a Read command to any bank. The DQ must be in the high impedance
state at least one clock cycle before the interrupting read data appears on the outputs to avoid data
contention. When the Read command is to be asserted, any residual data from the Burst Write sequence
must be masked by DM. The delay from the last data to the Read command (tWTR) is required to avoid data
contention inside the DRAM. Data presented on the DQ pins before the Read command is initiated will
actually be written to the memory. A Read command interrupting a write sequence can not be issued at the
next clock edge following the Write command.
Write Interrupted by Precharge & DM
A Burst Write can be interrupted by a Precharge of the same bank before completion of the previous burst. A
write recovery time (tWR) is required from the last data to the Precharge command. When the Precharge
command is asserted, any residual data from the Burst Write cycle must be masked by DM.
z Burst Stop Command
The Burst Stop command is initiated by having RAS and CAS High with CS and WE Low at the rising edge
of the clock only. The Burst Stop command has the fewest restrictions, making it the easiest method to use
when terminating a burst operation before it has been completed. When the Burst Stop command is issued
during a Burst Read cycle, both the 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 Burst Write operation.
z DM Masking Function
The DDR SDRAM has a Data Mask function that can be used in conjunction with the data write cycle only, not
the read cycle. When the Data Mask is activated (DM High) during a write operation, the write data is masked
immediately (DM to Data Mask latency is zero). DM must be issued at the rising edge or the falling edge of
Data Strobe instead of at a clock edge.
z Auto Precharge Operation
Auto Precharge is a feature which performs the same individual bank precharge function as described above,
but without requiring an explicit command. This is accomplished by using A10 (A10 = High), 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 enabled or disabled for each individual READ
or WRITE command. Auto Precharge ensures that a precharge is initiated at the earliest valid stage within a
burst. The user must not issue another command to the same bank until the precharging time (tRP) is
completed. When the Auto Precharge command is activated, the active bank automatically begins to
precharge at the earliest possible moment during a read or write cycle after tRAS (min) is satisfied.
z Precharge Command
The Precharge command is issued when CS , RAS , and WE are Low and CAS is High at the rising edge of
the clock (CK). The Precharge command can be used to precharge any bank individually or all banks
simultaneously. The Bank Select addresses (BA0, BA1) are used to define which bank is precharged when
the command is initiated. For a write cycle, tWR (min) must be satisfied from the start of the last Burst Write
cycle until the Precharge command can be issued. After tRP from the precharge, an Active command to the
same bank can be initiated.

z 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 a tRP (min) before the Auto Refresh
command is applied. The refresh addressing is generated by the internal refresh address counter. This makes
the address bits “Don’t Care" during an Auto Refresh command. When the refresh cycle is complete, all
banks will be in the idle state. A delay between the Auto Refresh command and the next Active command or
subsequent Auto Refresh command must be greater than or equal to the tRFC (min).
z Self Refresh
A Self Refresh command is defined by having CS , RAS , CAS and CKE Low with WE High at the rising
edge of the clock (CK). Once the Self Refresh command has been 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. To exit the Self
Refresh mode, supply a stable clock input before returning CKE high, assert Deselect or a NOP command,
and then assert CKE high.
z Power Down Mode
The device enters Power Down mode when CKE is brought Low, and it exits when CKE returns High. Once
the Power Down mode is initiated, all of the receiver circuits except CK and CKE are gated off to reduce
power consumption. All banks should be in an idle state prior to entering the Precharge Power Down mode
and CKE should be set high at least tXP prior to an Active command. During Power Down mode, refresh
operations cannot be performed; therefore the device must remain in Power Down mode for a shorter time
than the refresh period (tREF) of the device.
z DEEP POWER DOWN
Deep Power Down achieves maximum power reduction by eliminating the power of the whole memory array
and surrounding circuitry. Data will not be retained in the memory storage array, the Mode Register, or the
Extended Mode Register once the device enters Deep Power Down mode.
This mode is entered by having all banks idle then CS and WE held Low with RAS and CAS held High at
the rising edge of the clock, while CKE is Low. This mode is exited by asserting CKE High, applying only
NOP commands for 200 microseconds, and then continuing with steps 4 through 11 of the Power Up and
Initialization sequence..

2. Driver Strength should be selected based on actual system loading conditions. Figure 3, the AC Output Load
Circuit, represents the reference load used in defining the relevant timing parameters of this device.The 20pF
load capacitance is not expected to be a precise representation of either a typical system load or the
production test environment but is appropriate for Full Driver Strength. Setting the output drivers to 1/2 Driver
Strength, for a further example, is appropriate for a 10pF load.
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.
