*All AC parameters are measured from half to half.  
Note : 1. Parameters depend on programmed CAS latency.  
2. If clock rising time is longer than 1ns, (tr/2-0.5)ns should be added to the parameter.  
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: Operand Code  
A0~A11, BA0, BA1: Program keys. (@MRS)  
2. MRS can be issued only at both banks precharge state.  
A new command can be issued after 2 clock cycle of MRS.  
3. Auto refresh functions as same as CBR refresh of DRAM.  
The automatical precharge without Row precharge command is meant by “Auto”.  
Auto/Self refresh can be issued only at both precharge state.  
4. BA0, BA1 : Bank select address.  
If both BA1 and BA0 are “Low” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank A is selected.  
If both BA1 is “Low” and BA0 is “High” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank B is selected.  
If both BA1 is “High” and BA0 is “Low” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank C is selected.  
If both BA1 and BA0 are “High” at read, write, row active and precharge, bank D is selected.  
If A10/AP is “High” at row precharge, BA1 and BA0 is ignored and all banks are selected.  
5. During burst read or write with auto precharge, new read write command cannot be issued.  
Another bank read write command can be issued at every burst length.  
6. DQM sampled at positive going edge of a CLK masks the data-in at the very CLK (Write DQM latency is 0)  
but masks the data-out Hi-Z state after 2 CLK cycles. (Read DQM latency is 2)

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 set up and hold time around positive edge  
of the clock for proper functionality and ICC specifications.  
The following sequence is recommended for POWER UP  
1. Power must be applied to either CKE and DQM inputs to  
pull them high and other pins are NOP condition at the  
inputs before or along with VDD (and VDDQ) supply.  
The clock signal must also be asserted at the same time.  
2. After VDD reaches the desired voltage, a minimum pause  
of 200 microseconds is required with inputs in NOP  
condition.  
Clock Enable (CLK)  
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 is suspended form  
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  
both banks are in the idle state and CKE goes low  
synchronously with clock, the SDRAM enters the power down  
mode form 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  
“tSS + 1 CLOCK” before the high going edge of the clock, then  
the SDRAM becomes active from the same clock edge  
accepting all the input commands.  
3. Both banks must be precharged now.  
4. Perform a minimum of 2 Auto refresh cycles to stabilize the  
internal circuitry.  
5. Perform a MODE REGISTER SET cycle to program the  
CAS latency, burst length and burst type as the default  
value of mode register is undefined.  
At the end of one clock cycle from the mode register set  
cycle, the device is ready for operation.  
When the above sequence is used for Power-up, all the  
out-puts will be in high impedance state. The high  
impedance of outputs is not guaranteed in any other  
power-up sequence.  
cf.) Sequence of 4 & 5 may be changed.  
Mode Register Set (MRS)  
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various  
operation modes of SDRAM. It programs the CAS latency,  
addressing mode, 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

Device Operations (continued)  
Bank Activate  
Burst Write  
The burst write command is similar to burst read command,  
and is used to write data into the SDRAM consecutive clock  
cycles in adjacent addresses depending on burst length and

in an idle bank. By asserting low on

desired row and bank addresses, 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(min) is an  
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 dividing  
tRCD(min) with cycle time of the clock and then rounding off  
the result to the next higher integer. The SDRAM has two  
internal banks on the same chip and shares part of the  
internal circuitry to reduce chip area, therefore it restricts the  
activation of both banks immediately. Also the noise  
generated during sensing of each bank of SDRAM is high  
requiring some time for power supplies recover before the  
other bank can be sensed reliably. tRRD(min) specifies the  
minimum time required between activating different banks.  
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) 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). The number of cycles for both tRAS(min) and  
tRAS(max) can be calculated similar to tRCD specification.

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 may not have been completed yet. The writing  
can not complete to burst length. The burst write can be  
terminated by issuing a burst read and DQM for blocking  
data inputs or burst write in the same or the other active  
bank. The burst stop command is valid only at full page burst  
length where the writing continues at the end of burst and the  
burst is wrap around. The write burst can also be terminated  
by using DQM for blocking data and precharging the bank  
“tRDL” after the last data input to be written into the active row.  
See DQM OPERATION also.  
DQM Operation  
The DQM is used to mask input and output operation. It  
works similar to  
during read operation and inhibits writing  
OE  
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 the read cycle and occurs in the  
same cycle during write cycle. DQM operation is  
synchronous with the clock, therefore the masking occurs for  
a complete cycle. 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 not required.  
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  
and  
with  
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 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  
the 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.  
The precharge operation is performed on an active bank by

of the bank to be precharged. The precharge command can  
be asserted anytime after tRAS(min) is satisfied from the bank  
activate command in the desired bank. “tRP” is defined as the  
minimum time required to precharge a bank.  
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  
precharged within 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 both banks are in idle  
state.

required to complete the auto refresh operation is specified  
by “tRC(min)”. The minimum number of clock cycles required  
can be calculated by driving “tRC” with clock cycle time and  
then rounding up to the next higher integer. The auto refresh  
command must be followed by NOP’s until the auto refresh  
operation is completed. Both banks will be in the idle state at  
the end of auto refresh operation. 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 or a burst of 4096 auto refresh  
cycles once in 64ms.  
Device Operations (continued)  
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 read or burst write by asserting high  
on A10/AP. If burst read or burst write command is issued  
with low on A10/AP, the bank is left active until a new  
command is asserted. Once auto precharge command is  
given, no new commands are possible to that particular bank  
until the bank achieves idle state.  
Self Refresh  
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 by

being low matters, all the other inputs including clock are  
ignored to remain in the self refresh.  
Auto 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  
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 “tRC” before the SDRAM reaches idle  
state to begin normal operation. If the system uses burst auto  
refresh during normal operation, it is recommended to used  
burst 4096 auto refresh cycles immediately after exiting self  
refresh.

2. Precharge power down : both bank precharge state.  
3. The auto refresh is the same as CBR refresh of conventional DRAM.  
No precharge commands are required after Auto Refresh command.  
During tRC from auto refresh command, any other command can not be accepted.  
4. Before executing auto/self refresh command, both banks must be idle state.  
5. MRS, Bank Active, Auto/Self Refresh, Power Down Mode Entry.  
6. During self refresh mode, refresh interval and refresh operation are performed internally.  
After self refresh entry, self refresh mode is kept while CKE is LOW.  
During self refresh mode, all inputs expect CKE will be don’t cared, and outputs will be in Hi-Z state.  
During tRC from self refresh exit command, any other command can not be accepted.  
Before/After self refresh mode, burst auto refresh cycle (4K cycles ) is recommended.

Note: 6. After CKE’s low to high transition to exit self refresh mode. And a time of tRC(min) has to be elapse after CKE’s low to  
high transition to issue a new command.  
7. CKE low to high transition is asynchronous as if restarts internal clock.  
A minimum setup time “tSS + one clock” must be satisfied before any command other than exit.  
8. Power-down and self refresh can be entered only from the all banks idle state.  
9. Must be a legal command.
