2. If clock rising time is longer than 1ns. (tr/2 - 0.5) ns should be considered.
3. Assumed input rise and fall time (tr & tf) =1ns.
If tr & tf is longer than 1ns. transient time compensation should be considered.
i.e., [(tr + tf)/2 – 1] ns should be added to the parameter.

Note :
1.OP Code : Operating Code
A0~A11 & BA0~BA1 : Program keys. (@ MRS)
2.MRS can be issued only at all banks precharge state.
A new command can be issued after 2 CLK cycles of MRS.
3.Auto refresh functions are as same as CBR refresh of DRAM.
The automatical precharge without row precharge of command is meant by “Auto”.
Auto/self refresh can be issued only at all banks idle state.
4.BA0~BA1 : Bank select addresses.
If BA0 and BA1 are “Low” at read ,write , row active and precharge ,bank A is selected.
If BA0 is “Low” and BA1 is “High” at read ,write , row active and precharge ,bank B is selected.
If BA0 is “High” and BA1 is “Low” at read ,write , row active and precharge ,bank C is selected.
If BA0 and BA1 are “High” at read ,write , row active and precharge ,bank D is selected
If A10/AP is “High” at row precharge , BA0 and BA1 is ignored and all banks are selected.
5.During burst read or 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.
6.Burst stop command is valid at every burst length.
7.DQM sampled at positive going edge of a CLK and masks the data-in at the very CLK (write DQM latency is 0), but
makes Hi-Z state the data-out of 2 CLK cycles after.(Read DQM latency is 2)

DEVICE OPERATIONS
CLOCK (CLK)
POWER-UP
The clock input is used as the reference for all SDRAM
operations. All operations are synchronized to the positive
going edge of the clock. The clock transitions must be
monotonic between VIL and VIH. During operation with CKE
high all inputs are assumed to be in valid state (low or high) for
the duration of setup and hold time around positive edge of the
clock for proper functionality and Icc specifications.
1.Apply power and start clock, Attempt to maintain CKE =
“H”, DQM = “H” and the other pins are NOP condition at
the inputs.
2.Maintain stable power, stable clock and NOP input
condition for minimum of 200us.
3.Issue precharge commands for both banks of the
devices.
4.Issue 2 or more auto-refresh commands.
5.Issue a mode register set command to initialize the
mode register.
cf.) Sequence of 4 & 5 is regardless of the order.
CLOCK ENABLE(CKE)
The clock enable (CKE) gates the clock onto SDRAM. If CKE
goes low synchronously with clock (set-up and hold time same
as other inputs), the internal clock suspended from the next
clock cycle and the state of output and burst address is frozen
as long as the CKE remains low. All other inputs are ignored
from the next clock cycle after CKE goes low. When all banks
are in the idle state and CKE goes low synchronously with
clock, the SDRAM enters the power down mode from the next
clock cycle. The SDRAM remains in the power down mode
ignoring the other inputs as long as CKE remains low. The
power down exit is synchronous as the internal clock is
suspended. When CKE goes high at least “1CLK + tSS” before
the high going edge of the clock, then the SDRAM becomes
active from the same clock edge accepting all the input
commands.
BANK ADDRESSES (BA0~BA1)
This SDRAM is organized as four independent banks of
2,097,152 words x 16 bits memory arrays. The BA0~BA1
inputs are latched at the time of assertion of RAS and CAS
to select the bank to be used for the operation. The banks
addressed BA0~BA1 are latched at bank active, read, write,
mode register set and precharge operations.
ADDRESS INPUTS (A0~A11)
The 21 address bits are required to decode the 2,097,152
word locations are multiplexed into 12 address input pins
(A0~A11). The 12 row addresses are latched along with RAS
and BA0~BA1 during bank active command. The 9 bit column
addresses are latched along with CAS , WE and BA0~BA1
during read or with command.
When RAS , CAS and WE are high , The SDRAM
performs no operation (NOP). NOP does not initiate any new
operation, but is needed to complete operations which require
more than single clock cycle like bank activate, burst read,
auto refresh, etc. The device deselect is also a NOP and is
CS
high.
CS
MODE REGISTER SET (MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the
various operating modes of SDRAM. It programs the CAS
latency, burst type, burst length, test mode and various
vendor specific options to make 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 power up to operate the SDRAM. The
mode register is written by asserting low on CS , RAS ,
CAS and WE (The SDRAM should be in active mode
with CKE already high prior to writing 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
the data written in the mode register. Two clock cycles is
required to complete the write 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 into depending on
functionality. The burst length field uses A0~A2, burst type
uses A3, CAS latency (read latency from column address)
use A4~A6, vendor specific options or test mode use
A7~A8, A10/AP~A11 and BA0~BA1. The write burst
length is programmed using A9. A7~A8, A10/AP~A11 and
BA0~BA1 must be set to low for normal SDRAM
operation. Refer to the table for specific codes for various
burst length, burst type and CAS latencies.
BANK ACTIVATE

high disables the
command decoder so that RAS , CAS , WE and all the
address inputs are ignored.
Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc.
The bank activate command is used to select a random
row in an idle bank. By asserting low on RAS and CS
with desired row and bank address, a row access is
initiated. The read or write operation can occur after a
time delay of tRCD(min) from the time of bank activation. tRCD
is the internal timing parameter of SDRAM, therefore it is
dependent on operating clock frequency. The minimum
number of clock cycles required between bank activate
and read or write command should be calculated by
Publication Date: Apr. 2008
Revision: 1.1
11/45
ESMT
M12S128168A
DEVICE OPERATIONS (Continued)
dividing tRCD(min) with cycle time of the clock and then rounding
of the result to the next higher integer. The SDRAM has four
internal banks in the same chip and shares part of the internal
circuitry to reduce chip area, therefore it restricts the activation
of four banks simultaneously. Also the noise generated during
sensing of each bank of SDRAM is high requiring some time
for power supplies to recover before another bank can be
sensed reliably. tRRD(min) specifies the minimum time required
between activating different bank. The number of clock cycles
required between different bank activation must be calculated
similar to tRCD specification. The minimum time required for the
bank to be active to initiate sensing and restoring the complete
row of dynamic cells is determined by tRAS(min). Every SDRAM
bank activate command must satisfy tRAS(min) specification
before a precharge command to that active bank can be
asserted. The maximum time any bank can be in the active
state is determined by tRAS (max) and tRAS(max) can be
calculated similar to tRCD specification.
BURST READ
The burst read command is used to access burst of data on
consecutive clock cycles from an active row in an active bank.
The burst read command is issued by asserting low on CS
and RAS with WE being high on the positive edge of the
clock. The bank must be active for at least tRCD(min) before the
burst read command is issued. The first output appears in CAS
latency number of clock cycles after the issue of burst read
command. The burst length, burst sequence and latency from
the burst read command is determined by the mode register
which is already programmed. The burst read can be initiated
on any column address of the active row. The address wraps
around if the initial address does not start from a boundary
such that number of outputs from each I/O are equal to the
burst length programmed in the mode register. The output
goes into high-impedance at the end of burst, unless a new
burst read was initiated to keep the data output gapless. The
burst read can be terminated by issuing another burst read or
burst write in the same bank or the other active bank or a
precharge command to the same bank. The burst stop
command is valid at every page burst length.
BURST WRITE
The burst write command is similar to burst read command
and is used to write data into the SDRAM on consecutive clock
cycles in adjacent addresses depending on burst length and
burst sequence. By asserting low on CS , CAS and WE
with valid column address, a write burst is initiated. The data
inputs are provided for the initial address in the same clock
cycle as the burst write command. The input buffer is
deselected at the end of the burst length, even though the
internal writing can be completed yet. The writing can be
complete by issuing a burst read and DQM for blocking data
inputs or burst write in the same or another active bank. The
burst stop command is valid at every burst length. The write
burst can also be terminated by using DQM for blocking data
and precharge the bank tRDL after the last data input to be
written into the active row. See DQM OPERATION also.
Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc.
DQM OPERATION
The DQM is used mask input and output operations. It
works similar to OE during operation and inhibits writing
during write operation. The read latency is two cycles from
DQM and zero cycle for write, which means DQM masking
occurs two cycles later in read cycle and occurs in the
same cycle during write cycle. DQM operation is
synchronous with the clock. The DQM signal is important
during burst interrupts of write with read or precharge in
the SDRAM. Due to asynchronous nature of the internal
write, the DQM operation is critical to avoid unwanted or
incomplete writes when the complete burst write is
required. Please refer to DQM timing diagram also.
PRECHARGE
The precharge is performed on an active bank by
asserting low on clock cycles required between bank
activate and clock cycles required between bank activate
and CS , RAS , WE and A10/AP with valid BA0~BA1
of the bank to be procharged. The precharge command
can be asserted anytime after tRAS(min) is satisfy from the
bank active command in the desired bank. tRP is defined
as the minimum number of clock cycles required to
complete row precharge is calculated by dividing tRP with
clock cycle time and rounding up to the next higher
integer. Care should be taken to make sure that burst
write is completed or DQM is used to inhibit writing before
precharge command is asserted. The maximum time any
bank can be active is specified by tRAS(max). Therefore,
each bank has to be precharge with tRAS(max) from the
bank activate command. At the end of precharge, the
bank enters the idle state and is ready to be activated
again. Entry to power-down, Auto refresh, Self refresh and
Mode register set etc. is possible only when all banks are
in idle state.
AUTO PRECHARGE
The precharge operation can also be performed by using
auto precharge. The SDRAM internally generates the
timing to satisfy tRAS(min) and “tRP” for the programmed burst
length and CAS latency. The auto precharge command is
issued at the same time as burst write by asserting high on
A10/AP, the bank is precharge command is asserted.
Once auto precharge command is given, no new
commands are possible to that particular bank until the
bank achieves idle state.
FOUR BANKS PRECHARGE
Four banks can be precharged at the same time by using
Precharge all command. Asserting low on CS , RAS ,
and WE with high on A10/AP after all banks have
satisfied tRAS(min) requirement, performs precharge on all
banks. At the end of tRP after performing precharge all, all
banks are in idle state.

AUTO REFRESH
SELF REFRESH
The storage cells of SDRAM need to be refreshed every 64ms
to maintain data. An auto refresh cycle accomplishes refresh of
a single row of storage cells. The internal counter increments
automatically on every auto refresh cycle to refresh all the
rows. An auto refresh command is issued by asserting low on
The self refresh is another refresh mode available in the
SDRAM. The self refresh is the preferred refresh mode for
data retention and low power operation of SDRAM. In self
refresh mode, the SDRAM disables the internal clock and
all the input buffers except CKE. The refresh addressing
and timing is internally generated to reduce power
consumption.
The self refresh mode is entered from all banks idle state
CS , RAS and CAS with high on CKE and WE . The auto
refresh command can only be asserted with all banks being in
idle state and the device is not in power down mode (CKE is
high in the previous cycle). The time required to complete the
auto refresh operation is specified by tRFC(min). The minimum
number of clock cycles required can be calculated by driving
tRFC with clock cycle time and them rounding up to the next
higher integer. The auto refresh command must be followed by
NOP’s until the auto refresh operation is completed. The auto
refresh is the preferred refresh mode when the SDRAM is
being used for normal data transactions. The auto refresh
cycle can be performed once in 15.6us.

by asserting low on CS , RAS , CAS and CKE with
high on WE . Once the self refresh mode is entered, only
CKE state being low matters, all the other inputs including
clock are ignored to remain in the refresh.
The self refresh is exited by restarting the external clock
and then asserting high on CKE. This must be followed by
NOP’s for a minimum time of tRFC before the SDRAM
reaches idle state to begin normal operation. It is
recommended to use burst 4096 auto refresh cycles
immediately before and after self refresh.

COMMANDS
Mode register set command
( CS , RAS , CAS , WE = Low)
The M12L128168A has a mode register that defines how the device operates. In
this command, A0 through BA0 are the data input pins. After power on, the mode
register set command must be executed to initialize the device.
The mode register can be set only when all banks are in idle state.
During 2CLK following this command, the M12L128168A cannot accept any
other commands.
Activate command
( CS , RAS = Low, CAS , WE = High)
The M12L128168A has four banks, each with 4,096 rows.
This command activates the bank selected by BA1 and BA0 (BS) and a row
address selected by A0 through A11.
This command corresponds to a conventional DRAM’s RAS falling.
Precharge command
( CS , RAS , WE = Low, CAS = High )
This command begins precharge operation of the bank selected by BA1 and BA0
(BS). When A10 is High, all banks are precharged, regardless of BA1 and BA0.
When A10 is Low, only the bank selected by BA1 and BA0 is precharged.
After this command, the M12L128168A can’t accept the activate command to the
precharging bank during tRP (precharge to activate command period).
This command corresponds to a conventional DRAM’s RAS rising.

Write command
( CS , CAS , WE = Low, RAS = High)
If the mode register is in the burst write mode, this command sets the burst start
address given by the column address to begin the burst write operation. The first
write data in burst can be input with this command with subsequent data on following
clocks.
Read command
CBR (auto) refresh command
( CS , RAS , CAS = Low, WE ,
CKE = High)
This command is a request to
begin the CBR refresh operation. The
refresh address is generated internally.
Before executing CBR refresh, all
banks must be precharged.
After this cycle, all banks will be in
the idle (precharged) state and ready
for a row activate command.
During tRC period (from refresh
command to refresh or activate
command), the M12L128168A cannot
accept any other command.
( CS , CAS = Low, RAS , WE = High)
Read data is available after CAS latency requirements have been met.
This command sets the burst start address given by the column address.

Self refresh entry command
( CS , RAS , CAS , CKE = Low , WE = High)
After the command execution, self refresh operation continues while CKE
remains low. When CKE goes to high, the M12L128168A exits the self refresh mode.
During self refresh mode, refresh interval and refresh operation are performed
internally, so there is no need for external control.
Before executing self refresh, all banks must be precharged.
Burst stop command
( CS , WE = Low, RAS , CAS = High)
This command terminates the current burst operation.
Burst stop is valid at every burst length.
No operation
( CS = Low , RAS , CAS , WE = High)
This command is not a execution command. No operations begin or terminate by
this command.

CAS Interrupt
At MRS A210 = “111”
At the end of the burst length , burst is warp-around.
At MRS A9 = “1”
Read burst = 1,2,4,8, full page write burst =1
At auto precharge of write, tRAS should not be violated.
tBDL = 1, Valid DQ after burst stop is 1, 2 for CAS latency 2, 3 respectively.
Using burst stop command, any burst length control is possible.
Before the end of burst. Row precharge command of the same bank stops read /write burst
with auto precharge.
tRDL = 1 with DQM , Valid DQ after burst stop is 1, 2 for CAS latency 2, 3 respectively.
During read/write burst with auto precharge, RAS interrupt can not be issued.
Before the end of burst, new read/write stops read/write burst and starts new read/write
burst.
During read/write burst with auto precharge, CAS interrupt can not be issued.
