256Mb: x4, x8, x16 DDR SDRAM
Functional Description
Functional Description
The DDR SDRAM uses a double data rate architecture to achieve high-speed operation.
The double data rate architecture is essentially a 2n-prefetch architecture with an inter-
face designed to transfer two data words per clock cycle at the I/O pins. A single read or
write acce ss for th e DD R SD RA M effe c ti vel y cons is ts of a sing le 2 n-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 pins.
A bidirectional data strobe (DQS) is transmitted externally, along with data, for use in
data capture at the receiver. DQS is a strobe transmitted by the DDR SDRAM during
READs and by the memory controller during WRITEs. DQS is edge-aligned with data for
READs and center-aligned with data for WRITEs. The x16 offering has two data strobes,
one for the lower byte and one for the upper byte.
The DDR SDRAM operates from a differential clock (CK and CK#); the crossing of CK
going HIGH and CK# going LOW will be referred to as the positive edge of CK.
Commands (addre ss and control signals) are registered at every positive edge of CK.
Input data is registered on both edges of DQS, and output data is referenced to both
edges of DQS, as well as to both edges of CK.
Read and write accesses to the DDR SDRAM are burst oriented; accesses start at a
selected location and continue for a pr ogramme d number of locations in a progr ammed
sequence . A ccesses be gin with the r egi strati on of an ACTIVE command, which may then
be followed by a READ or WRITE co mmand. The address b its registered coincident with
the ACTIVE command are use d to select the bank and row to be accessed. The address
bits re gistere d coincident with the READ or WRITE command are used to select the bank
and the starting column location for the burst access.
The DDR SDRAM provides for programmable READ or WRITE burst lengths of 2, 4, or 8
locations. An auto precharge function may be enabled to provide a self-timed row
precharge that is initiated at the end of the burst access.
As with standard SDR SDRAMs, the pipelined, multibank architecture of DDR SDRAMs
allows for concurre nt operation, thereby providing high effective bandwidth by hiding
row precharge and activation time.
An auto refresh mode is provided, along with a power-saving power-down mode. All
inputs are compatible with the JEDEC standard for SSTL_2. All full-drive option outputs
are SSTL_2, Class II compatible.
General Notes The functionality and the timi ng specifications discussed in this data sheet are for the
DLL-enabled mode of operation.
Throughout the data sheet, the various figures and text refer to DQs as “DQ.” The DQ
term is to be interpreted as any and all DQ collectively, unless specifically stated
otherwise. Additionally, the x16 is divided into two bytes, the lower byte and upper
byte. Fo r the lower byte (DQ0–DQ7) DM refers to LDM and DQS refers to LDQS. For
the upper byte (DQ8–DQ15) DM refers to UDM and DQS refers to UDQS.
Complete func tionality is described thr oughout the document and any page or
diagram may have been simplified to convey a topic and may not be inclusive of all
requirements.
Any specific requirement takes precedence over a general statement.

Input Address inputs: Provide the row address for ACTIVE commands,
and the column address and auto precharge bit (A10) for READ/
WRITE commands, to select one location out of the memory array in
the respective bank . A10 sampled during a PRECHARGE command
determines whether the PRECHARGE applies to one bank (A10
LOW, bank selected by BA0, BA 1) or all banks (A10 HIGH). The
address inputs also provide the op-code during a LOAD MODE
REGISTER command.
J8, J7 26, 27 BA0, BA1 Input Bank address inputs: BA0 and BA1 def ine to which bank an
ACTIVE, READ, WRITE, or PRECHARGE command is being applied.
BA0 and BA1 also define which mode regi ster (mode register or
extended mode register) is loaded during the LOAD MODE
REGISTER (LMR) command.
G2, G3 45, 46 CK, CK# Input 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 the negative edge of CK#. Ou tput data (DQ and
DQS) is referenced to the crossings of CK and CK#.
H3 44 CKE Input Clock enable: CKE HIGH activates and CKE LOW deactivates the
internal clock, input buffers, and output drivers. Taking CKE LOW
provides PRECHARGE POWER-DOWN and SELF REFRESH operations
(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 entr y. CKE is asynchrono us for SELF REFRESH exit and for
disabling the outputs. CKE must be maintained HIGH throughout
read and write accesses. Input buffers (excluding CK, CK #, and CKE)
are disabled d uring POWER- DOWN. Input buffers (excluding CKE)
are disabled during SELF REFRESH. CKE is an SSTL_2 input but will
detect an LVCMOS LOW level after VDD is applied and until CKE is
first brought HIGH, after which it becomes a SSTL_2 input only.
H8 24 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 ba nk selection on
systems wit h multiple bank s. CS# is considered part of the command
code.
F3
F7, F3 47
20, 47 DM
LDM, UDM Input Input data mask: DM is an inpu t 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.
Although DM pins are input-only, the DM loading is designed to
match that of DQ and D QS pins. For the x16, LDM is DM for DQ0–
DQ7 and UDM is DM for DQ8–DQ15. Pin 20 is a NC on x4 and x8.
H7, G8, G7 23, 22, 21 RAS#, CAS#,
WE# Input Command inputs: RAS#, CAS#, and WE# (along with CS#) define

3. Outputs (except for IDD measurements) measured with equivalent load:
4. AC timing and IDD tests may use a VIL-to-VIH swing of up to 1.5V in the test environ-
ment, but input timing is still r efer enced to VREF (or to the crossing point for CK/CK#),
and parameter specifications are guaranteed for the specified AC input levels under
normal use conditions. The minimum slew rate for the input signals used to test the
device is 1 V/ns in th e range be twe e n VIL(AC) and VIH(AC).
5. The AC and DC input level specifications are as defined in the SSTL_2 standar d (that
is, the receiver will effectively switch as a result of the signal crossing the AC input
level and will remain in that state as long as the signal does not ring back above
[below] the DC input LOW [HIGH] level).
6. All speed grades ar e not offered on all densities . Refer to page 1 for availab ility.
7. VREF is expected to equal VDDQ/2 of the tr ansmitting device and to track variations in
the DC level of the same. Peak-to-peak noise (noncommon mode) on VREF may not
exceed ±2% of the DC value. Thus, from VDDQ/2, VREF is allo wed ±25mV for DC error
and an additional ±25mV for AC noise . This measur ement is to be taken at the nearest
VREF bypass capacitor.
8. VTT is not applied directly to the device. VTT is a system supply for signal termination
resistors, it is expected to be set equal to VREF, and it must track variations in the DC
level of VREF.
9. VID is the magnitude of the difference between the input level on CK and the input
level on CK#.
10. The value of VIX and VMP is expected to equal VDDQ/2 of the transmitting device and
must track variations in the DC level of th e sam e.
11. IDD is dependent on output loading and cycle r a tes. Specified values are obtained
with minimum cycle times at CL = 3 for -5B; CL = 2.5, -6/-6T/-75; and CL = 2,
-75E/-75Z speeds with the outputs open.
12. Enables on-chip refresh and address counters.
13. IDD specifications are tested after the device is properly initialized and is averaged at
the defined cycle rate.
14. This parameter is sampled. VDD = +2.5V ±0.2V, VDDQ= +2.5V ±0.2V, VREF =VSS,
f=100MHz, T
A=25°C, VOUT(DC)=VDDQ/2, VOUT (peak- to-p eak ) = 0.2V. DM input is
grouped with I/O pins, reflecting the fact that they are matched in loading.
15. For slew rates less than 1 V/ns and greater than or equal to 0.5 V/ns. If the slew rate is
less than 0.5 V/ns, timing must be derated: tIS has an additional 50ps per each
100 mV/ns reduction in slew rate from the 500 mV/ns. tIH has 0ps added, that is, it
remai ns constant. If the slew rate ex ceeds 4.5 V/ns , functionality is uncertain. F or -5B ,
-6, and -6T, slew rates must be greater than or equal to 0.5 V/ns.

16. The CK/CK# input referenc e level (for timing referenced to CK/CK#) is the point at
which CK and CK# cross; the input reference level for signals other than CK/CK# is
VREF.
17. Inputs ar e not recognized as valid until VREF stabilizes. O nc e i nitializ e d, includ ing sel f
refresh mode, VREF must be powered within specified range. Exception: during the
period before VREF stabilizes, CKE < 0.3 × VDD is recognized as LOW.
18. The output timing reference level, as measured at the timing reference point (indi-
cated in Note 3), is VTT.
19. tHZ and tLZ transitions occur in the same access time windows as data valid transi-
tions. These parameters are not referenced to a specific voltage level, but specify
when the device output is no longer driving (High-Z) or begins driving (Low-Z).
20. The intent of the “Dont Care” state after completion of the postamble is the DQS-
driven signal should either be HIGH, LOW, or High-Z, and that any signal transition
within the input switch ing region must follow valid input requirements. That is, if
DQS transitions HIGH (above VIH[DC] MIN) then it must not transition LOW (below
VIH[DC] prior to tDQSH [MIN]).
21. This is not a device limit. The device will operate with a negative value, but system
performance could be degraded due to bus turnaround.
22. It is re commended that DQS be valid (HIGH or LOW) on or before the WRITE com-
mand. The case shown (DQS going from H igh-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 during this time, depending on tDQSS.
23. MIN (tRC or tRFC) for IDD measur ements is the smallest multiple of tCK that meets the
minimum absolute value for the respective parameter. tRAS (MAX) for IDD measure-
ments is the largest multiple of tCK that meets the maximum absolute value for tRAS.
24. The refresh period is 64ms (commerial and industrial) or 16ms (automotive). This
equates to an average refresh rate of 7.8125µs (commercial and industrial) or 1.95us
(automotive). However, an AUTO REFRESH command must be asserted at least once
every 70. 3µs( commerial and industrial) or 17.55µs (automotive); burst refreshing or
posting b y the DRAM contr o ller greater than 8 REFRESH cy cles is not allowed.
25. The I/O capacitance per DQS and DQ byte/group will not differ by more than this
maximum amount for any given device.
26. The data valid window is derived by achieving other specifications: tHP (tCK/2),
tDQSQ, and tQH (tQH = tHP- tQHS). The data valid window derates in direct propor-
tion to the clock duty cycle and a practical data valid window can be deriv ed. The
clock is allowed a maximum duty cycle variation of 45/55, because functionality is
uncertain when operating beyond a 45/55 ratio. The data valid window derating
curves are provided in Figure 12 on page 37 for duty cycles ranging between 50/50
and 45/55.
27. Refer enced to each output group: x4 = DQS with DQ0–DQ3; x8 = DQS with DQ0–DQ7;
x16 = LDQS with DQ0–DQ7 and UDQS with DQ8–DQ15.
28. This limit is actually a nominal value and does not result in a fail value. CKE is HIGH
during the REFRESH command period (tRFC [MIN]), else CKE is LOW (that is, during
standby).
29. To maintain a valid level, the transitionin g e dg e of the input mus t:
29a. Sustain a constant slew rate from the current AC level through to the target AC
level, VIL(AC) or VIH(AC).
29b. Reach at least the target AC level.
29c. After the AC target level is reached, continue to maintain at least the target DC
level, VIL(DC) or VIH(DC).

30. The input capacitance per pin group will not differ by more than thi s maximum
amount for any given device.
31. CK and CK# input slew rate must be 1V/ns (2 V/ns if measured differentially).
Figure 12: Derating Data Valid Window (tQH – tDQSQ)
32. DQ and DM input slew rates must not deviate from DQS b y mor e than 10%. If the DQ/
DM/DQS slew rate is less than 0.5 V/ns, timing must be derated: 50ps must be added
to tDS and tDH for each 100 mV/ns reduction in slew rate. For -5B, -6, and
-6T speed grades, the slew rate must be 0.5V/ns. If the slew rate exceeds 4 V /ns,
functionality is uncertain.
33. VDD must not vary more than 4% if CKE is not active while any bank is active.
34. The clock is allowed up to ±150ps of jitter. Each timing parameter is allowed to vary by
the same amount.
35. tHP (MIN) is the lesser of tCL (MIN) and tCH (MIN) actually applied to the device CK
and CK# inputs, collectively, during bank active.
36. READs and WRITEs with auto pr ec harge ar e not allo w ed to be iss ued until tRAS (MIN)
can be satisfied prior to the internal PRECHARGE command being issued.
37. Any positive glitch must be less than 1/3 of the clock cycle and not mor e than +400mV
or 2.9V (+300mV or 2.9V maximum for -5B), whichever is less. Any negative glitch
must be less than 1/3 of the clock cycl e and not excee d either 300mV or 2.2V (2.4V for
-5B), whichever is more positive. The average cannot be belo w the +2.5V (2.6V for -5B)

44. tRPST end point and tRPRE begin point are not re ferenced to a specific voltag e level
but specify when the device output is no longer driving (tRPST) or begins driving
(tRPRE).
45. During initialization, VDDQ, VTT, and VREF must be equal to or less than VDD + 0.3V.
Alternatively, VTT may be 1.35V maximum during power -up , even if VDD/VDDQ ar e 0V,
provided a minimum of 42Ω of series resistance is used between the VTT supply and
the input pin.
46. The current Micron part operates below 83 MHz (slowest specified JEDEC operating
frequency). As such, future die may not reflect this option.
47. When an input signal is HIGH or LOW, it is defined as a steady state logic HIGH or
LOW.
48. Random address is changing; 50% of data is changing at every transfer.
49. Random address is changing; 100% of data is changing at every transfer.
50. CKE must be active (HIGH) during the entire time a REFRESH command is executed.
That is, from the time the AUTO REFRESH command is register ed, CKE must be
active at each rising clock edge, until tRFC has been satisfied.
51. IDD2N spec ifies the DQ, DQS, and DM to be driven to a valid HIGH or LOW logic level.
IDD2Q is similar to IDD2F ex cept IDD2Q specifies the address and control inputs to
remain stable. Although IDD2F, IDD2N, and IDD2Q are similar, IDD2F is “worst case.
52. Whenever the operating frequency is altered, not including jitter, the DLL is required
to be reset followed by 200 clock cycles before any READ command.
53. This is the DC voltage supplied at the DRAM and is inclusive of all noise up to 20 MHz.
Any noise above 20 MHz at the DRAM generated from any source other than that of
the DRAM itself may not exceed the DC voltage range of 2.6V ±100mV.
54. The -6/-6T speed grades will operate with tRAS (MIN) = 40ns and
tRAS (MAX) = 120 ,000ns at any slower frequency.

Commands
Commands Tables 28 and 29 provide a quick r e fer ence of available commands. Two additional Truth
Tables—Table 30 on page 44 and Table 31 on page 45—provide current state/next state
information.
Notes: 1. DESELECT and NOP are functionally intercha ngeabl e.
2. BA0–BA1 provide bank address and A0–An (128Mb: n = 11; 256Mb and 512Mb: n = 12; 1Gb:
n = 13) provide row address.
3. BA0–BA1 provide bank address; A0–Ai provide column address, (where Ai is the most signif-
icant column address bit for a given density and configuration, see Table 2 on page 2) A10
HIGH enables the auto precharge feature (non persistent), and A10 LOW disables the auto
precharge feature.
4. Applies only to READ bursts with auto pre charg e di sable d; th is com mand is und efine d (an d
should not be used) for READ bursts with auto precharge enabled and for WRITE bursts.
5. A10 LOW: BA0–BA1 determine which bank is precharged. A10 HIGH: all banks are pre-
charged and BA0–BA1 are “Don’t Care.”
6. This command is AUTO REFRESH if CKE is HIGH; SELF REFRESH if CKE is LOW.
7. Internal refresh counter controls row addressing while in self refresh mode, all inputs and
I/Os are “Don’t Care” except for CKE.
8. BA0–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 combina-
tions of BA0–BA1 are reserved). A0–An provide the op-code to be written to the selected
mode register.

Commands
Notes: 1. This table applies when CKEn-1 was HIGH and CKEn is HIGH (see Table 33 on page 47) and
after tXSNR has been met (if the previous state was self refresh).
2. This table is bank-specific, except where noted (that is, the current state is for a specific
bank and the commands shown are those allowed to be issued to that bank when in that
state). Exceptions are covered in the notes below.
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 disabl ed , an d has no t yet
terminated or been terminated.
Write: A WRITE burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled, and has not yet
terminated or been terminated.
4. The following states must not be interrupted by a command issued to the same bank. COM-
MAND INHIBIT or NOP commands, or allowable commands to the other bank should be
issued on any clock edge occurring during these states. Allowable commands to the other
bank are determi ned by its current st ate and Table 30 and according to Table 31 on
page 45.
Precharging: Starts with registration of a PRECHARGE command and ends when tRP is
met. Once tRP is met, the bank will be in the idle state.
Row activating: Starts with registration of an ACTIVE command and ends when tRCD is
met. Once tRCD is met, the bank will be in the “row active” state.
Read with aut o pr e ch ar ge enabled : Starts with registration of a READ command with
auto precharge enabled an d ends when tRP has been met. Once tRP is met, the bank
will be in the idle state.
Write with auto precharge enabled: Starts with registration of a WRITE command with
auto precharge enabled an d ends when tRP has been met. Once tRP is met, the bank
will be in the idle state.
5. The following states must not be interrupted by any executable command; COMMAND
INHIBIT or NOP commands must be applied on each positive clock edge during these states.

Commands
2. This table describes alternate bank operation, except where noted (that is, the current state
is for bank n, and the commands shown are those allowed to be issued to bank m, assuming
that bank m is in such a state that the given command is allowable). Exceptions are covered
in the notes below.
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 disabl ed , an d has no t yet
terminated or been terminated.
Write: A WRITE burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled, and has not yet
terminated or been terminated.
Read with auto precharge enabled: See note 3a below.
Write with auto precharge enabled: See note 3a below.
a. 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 measured as
if auto precharge was disabled. The access period starts with registration of the com-
mand and ends where the precharge period (or tRP) beg ins. This device supports
concurrent auto precharge such that when a read with auto precharge is enabled or
a write with auto precharge is enabled, any command to other banks is allowed, as
long as that command does not interrupt the read or write data transfer already in
process. In either case, all other related limitations apply (for example, contention
between read data and write data must be avoided).
b. The minimum delay from a READ or WRITE command with auto precharge enabled,
to a command to a different bank is summarized in Table 32.
4. AUTO REFRESH and LMR commands may only be issued when all banks are idle.
5. A BURST TERMINATE command cannot be issued to another bank; it applies to the bank
represented by the current state only.
6. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved.
7. READs or WRITEs listed in the “Command/Action” column include READs or WRITEs with
auto precharge enabled and READs or WRITEs with auto precharge disabled.
8. Requires appropriate DM masking.
9. A WRITE command may be applied after the completion of the READ burst; otherwise , a
BURST TERMINATE must be used to end the READ burst prior to ass erting a WRITE com-
mand.

Commands
Notes: 1. CKEn is the logic state of CKE at clock edge n; CKEn-1 was the state of CKE at the previous
clock edge.
2. Current state is the state of the DDR SDRAM immediately prior to clock edge n.
3. COMMANDn is the command registered at clock edge n, and ACTIONn is a result of COM-
MANDn.
4. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved.
5. CKE must not drop LOW during a column access. For a READ, this means CKE must stay
HIGH until after the read postamble time (tRPST); for a WRITE, CKE must stay HIGH until the
write recovery time (tWR) has been met.
6. Once initialized, including during self refresh mode, VREF must be powered within the spec-
ified range.
7. Upon exit of the self refresh mode, the DLL is automatically enabled. A minimum of 200
clock cycles is needed before applying a READ command for the DLL to lock. DESELECT or
NOP commands should be issued on any clock edges occurr ing during the tXSNR period.
DESELECT
The DESELECT function (CS# HIGH) prevents new commands from being executed by
the DDR SDRAM. The DDR SDRAM is effectivel y deselected. O per ations already in pr og-
ress are not affected.
NO OPERATION (NOP)
The NO OPERATION (NOP) command is used to instruct the selected DDR SDRAM to
perform a NOP (CS# is LOW with RAS#, CAS#, and WE# are HIGH). This prevents
unwanted commands from be ing registered during id le or wait states. Operations
already in progress are not affected.
LOAD MODE REGISTER (LMR)
The mode registers are loaded via inputs A0–An (see "REGISTER DEFINITION" on page
55). The LMR command can only be issued when all banks are idle, and a subsequent
executable command cannot be issued until tMRD is met.

Commands
PRECHARGE (PRE)
The PRECHARGE command is used to deactivate the open row in a particular bank or
the open ro w in all b anks as sho wn in F igure20. The value on the BA0, BA1 inputs sel ects
the bank, and the A10 input selects whether a single bank is precharged or whether all
banks are precharged.
Figure 20: PRECHARGE Command
Notes: 1. If A10 is HIGH, bank address becomes “Don’t Care.”
BURST TERMINATE (BST)
The BURST TERMINATE command is used to truncate READ bursts (with auto
precharge disabled). The most recently registered READ command pr ior to the BURST
TERMINATE command will be truncated, as shown in “ Operations” on page 52. The
open page from which the READ burst was terminated remain s open.
AUTO REFRESH (AR)
AUTO REFRESH is used during normal operation of the DDR SDRAM and is analogous
to CAS#-before-RAS# (CBR) refresh in FPM/EDO DRAMs. This command is nonpersis-
tent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. All banks must be idle before an
AUTO REFRESH command is issued.
SELF REFRESH
The SELF REFRESH command can be used to retain data in the DDR SDRAM, even if the
rest of the system is powered down. The SELF REFRESH command is initiated like an
AUTO REFRESH command except CKE is disabled (LOW).
Self refresh is not supported on automotive temperature (AT) devices.

INITIALIZATION
Prior to normal operation, DDR SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a
predefined manner. Operational procedures, other than those specified, may result in
undefined operation.
To ensure device operation, the DRAM must be initialized as described in the following
steps:
1. S i multaneously apply power to VDD and VDDQ.
2. Apply VREF and the n VTT power. VTT must be applied after VDDQ to avoid device latch-
up , whi ch may cause permanent damage to the devic e . Ex cept fo r CKE, i nputs are not
recognized as valid until after VREF is applied.
3. Assert and hold CKE at a LVCMOS logic LOW. Maintaining an LVCMOS LOW level on
CKE during power-up is required to ensure that the DQ and DQS outputs will be in
the High-Z state, where they will remain until driven in normal operation (by a read
access).
4. Provide stable clock signals.
5. Wait at least 200µs.
6. Bring CKE HIGH, and provide at least one NOP or DESELECT command. At this
point, the CKE input changes from a LVCMOS input to a SSTL_2 input only and will
remain a SSTL_2 input unless a po wer cycle occurs.
7. Perform a PRECHARGE ALL command.
8. Wait at l east tRP time; during this time NOPs or DESELECT commands must be given.
9. Usin g the LMR command, program the extended mode register (E0 = 0 to enable the
DLL and E1 = 0 for normal drive; or E1 = 1 for reduced drive and E2–En must be set to
0 [where n = most significant bit]).
10. Wait at least tMRD time; only NOP s or DESELECT commands are allowed.
11. Using the LMR command, program the mode register to set operating parameters
and to reset the DLL. At least 200 clock cycles are required between a DLL reset and
any READ command.
12. Wait at least tMRD time; only NOP s or DESELECT commands are allowed.
13. Issue a PRECHARGE ALL command.
14. Wait at least tRP time; only NOPs or DESELECT commands are allowed.
15. Issue an AUT O REFRESH command. This may be moved prior to step 13.
16. Wait at least tRFC time; only NOPs or DESELECT commands are allowed.
17. Issue an AUT O REFRESH command. This may be moved prior to step 13.
18. Wait at least tRFC time; only NOPs or DESELECT commands are allowed.
19. Although not required by the Micron device, JEDEC requires an LMR command to
clear the DLL bit (set M8 = 0). If an LMR command is issued, the same operating
parameters should be utilized as in step 11.
20. Wait at least tMRD time; only NOP s or DESELECT commands are supported.
21. At this point the DRAM is ready for any valid command. At least 200 clock cycles with
CKE HIGH are required between step 11 (DLL RESET) and any READ command.

the VTT supply and th e in pu t pin. Once initi al ized, VREF must always be powered within the
specified range.
2. Although not required by the Mic ron device, JEDEC specifies issuing another LMR command
(A8 = 0) prior to activating any bank. If another LMR command is issued, the same, previ-
ously issued operating parameters must be used.
3. The two AUTO REFRESH commands at Td0 and Te0 may be applied following the LMR com-
mand at Ta0.
4. tMRD is required before any command can be applied (during MRD time only NOPs or
DESELECTs are allowed), and 200 cycles of CK are required before a READ command can be
issued.
5. While programming th e op erating para meters, reset the DLL with A8 = 1.

REGISTER DEFINITION
Mode Register
The mode register is used to define the specific DDR SDRAM mode of operation. This
definition includes the selection of a burst length, a burst type, a CAS latency, and an
operating mode, as shown in Figure 23. The mode register is programm ed via the LMR
command (with BA0=0 and BA1=0) and will retain the stored information until it is
programmed again or until the device loses power (ex cept for bit A8, which is self-
clearing).
Repr og r ammi ng the mode r e gister wil l not alter the contents of the memory, provi ded it
is performed correctly. The mode register must be loaded (reloaded) when all banks are
idle and no bursts are in progress, and the controller m ust wai t the specifi ed tim e before
initiating the subsequent operation. Violating either of these requirements will result in
unspecified operation.
Mode register bits A0–A2 specify the burst le ngth, A3 specifies the type of burst (sequen-
tial or interleaved), A4–A6 specify the CAS latency, and A7–An specify the operating
mode.

Operations
Burst Length (BL)
Read and write accesses to the DDR SDRAM are burst oriented, with the burst length
being programmable for both READ and WRITE bursts, as shown in Figure 23 on
page 55. The burst length determines the maximum number of column locations that
can be accessed for a given READ or WRITE command. BL = 2, BL = 4, or BL = 8 locations
are available for both the sequential and the interleaved burst types . Reserved states
should not be used, as unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may
result.
When a READ or WRITE comm and is issu ed , a block of col u m n s eq ual to the bu rst
length is effectively se lected. All accesses for that burs t take place within this block—
meaning that the burst will wrap within the block if a boundary is reached. The block is
uniquely selected by A1–Ai when BL = 2, by A2–Ai when BL = 4, and by A3–Ai when
BL = 8 (where Ai is the most significant column address bit for a given configuration).
The remai ning (least significant) addr ess bit(s) i s (are ) used to select t he starting location
within the block. For example: for BL = 8, A3–Ai select the eight-data- el em e nt bl ock; A0–
A2 select the first access within the block.
Burst Type
Accesse s within a given b urst may be progr ammed to be eithe r sequential or interleaved;
this is referred to as the burst type and is selected via bit M3.
The ordering of accesses within a burst is determined b y the burst lengt h, the burst t ype ,
and the starting column address, as shown in Table 34.

Operations
CAS Latency (CL)
The CL 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 2, 2.5, or 3 (-5B
only) clocks, as shown in Figure 24. Reserved states should not be used, as unknown
operation or incompatibilit y with future versions may result.
If a READ command is registered at clock edge n, and the latency is m clocks, the data
will be available nomina ll y co i nci dent with clock edge n + m. Table 35 on page 58 indi-
cates the operating frequencies at which each CL setting can be used.

Operations
Operating Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by issuing an LMR command with bits A7–An
each set to zero and bits A0–A6 set to the desired values. A DLL r eset is initiated by
issuing an LMR command with bits A7 and A9–An each set to zero, bit A8 set to one, and
bits A0–A6 set to the desired values. Although not requir ed by the Micron device, JEDEC
specifications recommend that an LMR command resetting the DLL should always be
followed by an LMR command selecting normal operating mode.
All other combinations of values for A7–An are reserved for future use and/or test
modes . Test modes and reserved states should not be used, as unknown operation or
incompatibility with future versions may result.
Extended Mode Register
The extended mode register controls functions beyond those controlled by the mode
r egister; these additional functions ar e DLL enable/disable and output drive strength.
These functions ar e controlled via the bits shown in Figure25 on page 59. The extended
mode reg ister is progra mmed via the LMR command to the mode register (with BA0 = 1
and BA1 = 0) and will retain the stored information until it is programmed again or until
the device loses power. The enabling of the DLL should always be followed by an LMR
command to the mode register (BA0/BA1 = 0) to reset the DLL. The extended mode
register must be loaded when all banks are idle and no bursts are in progress, and the
controller must wait the specified time before initiating any subsequent operation.
Violating ei the r requirement could result in an unspecified operatio n.
Output Drive Strength
The normal drive strength for all outputs is specified to be SSTL_2, Class II. The Design
Revision F and K devices support a programmable option for reduced drive. This option
is intended for the support of the lighte r load and/or point-to-point envi ronm ent s. The
selection of the reduced drive strength will alter the DQ and DQS pins from SSTL_2,
Class II drive strength to a reduced drive strength, which is approximately 54% of the
SSTL_2, Class II drive strength.
DLL Enable/Disable
When the part is running without the DLL enabled, device functionality may be altered.
The DLL must be enabled for normal operation. DLL enable is required during power-
up initialization and upon returning to normal operation after having disabled the DLL
for the purpose of debug or evaluati on (when the devi ce exits sel f refr e sh mode, the DLL
is enabled automatically). Anytime the DLL is enabled, 200 clock cycles with CKE HIGH
must occur befor e a READ command can be issued.

2. The reduced drive strength option is available on ly on Design Revisio n F and K.
3. The QFC# option is not supported.
ACTIVE
After a row is opened with an ACTIVE command, a READ or WRITE command may be
issued to that row, subject to the tRCD specifi cation. 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 on which a READ or WRITE command can be
entered. For example, a tRCD specification of 20ns with a 133 MHz clock (7.5ns period)
results in 2.7 clocks rounded to 3. This is reflected in Figu re 2 6 on page 60, which cove rs
any case wher e 2 < tR CD (MIN)/tCK 3 (Figur e 26 also sho ws the same case for tRRD; the
same procedure is used to convert other specification limits from time units to clock
cycles).
A 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.
A subsequent ACTIVE command to a differ ent 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 resul ts in a r eduction of total r o w-access o verhead. The minimum
time interval between successive ACTIVE commands to different banks is defined by
tRRD.

READ
During the READ command, the value on input A10 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.
Note: For the READ com m a nd s use d in the following illustrations, auto precharge is dis-
abled.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element from the starting column address will
be available following the CL after the READ command. Each subsequent data-out
element will be v a lid nominally at the next positive or negative clock edge (that is, at the
next crossing of CK and CK#). Figure 27 on page 62 shows the general timing for each
possible CL setting. DQS is driven by the DDR SDRAM along with output data. The
initial LOW state on DQS is known as the read preamble; the LOW state 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 DQ
will go High-Z. Detailed explanations of tDQSQ (valid data-out skew), tQH (data-out
window hold), and the valid data window are depicted in Figure 35 on page 70 and
Figure 36 on page 71. Detailed explanations of tDQSCK (DQS transition skew to CK) and
tAC (data-out transition skew to CK) are depicted in Figure 37 on page 72.
Data from any READ burst may be concatenated or truncated with data from a subse-
quent READ command. In either case , a continuous flo w of data can be maintained. The
first data element from the new burst follows either the last element of a completed
burst or the last desired data element of a longer burst which is being truncated. The
new READ command should be issued x cycl es afte r the firs t RE AD com mand, where x
equals the number of desired data element pairs (pairs are required by the 2n-prefetch
architecture). This is shown in Figure 28 on page 63. A READ command can be ini tiated
on any clock cycle following a previous READ command. Nonconsecutive read data is
illustrated in Figure29 on page 64. Full-speed random read accesses within a page (or
pages) can be performed, as shown in Figure 30 on page 65.

Data from any READ burst may be truncated with a BURST TERMINATE command, as
shown in Figure 31 on page 66. The BURST TERMINATE latency is equal to the CL, that
is, the BURST TERMINATE command should be issued x cy cles after the READ
command where x equals the number of desired data element pairs (pairs are re quired
by the 2n-p refetch archit ec tu re) .
Data from any READ burst must be completed or truncated before a subsequent WRITE
command can be issued. If truncation is necessary, the BURST TERMINATE command
must be used, as shown in Figure32 on page 67. The tDQSS (NOM) case is shown; the
tDQSS (MAX) case has a longer bus idle time. (tDQSS [MIN] and tDQSS [MAX] are
defined in the section on WRITEs.) A READ burst may be follo wed by, or truncated with,
a PRECHARGE command to the same bank provided that auto precharge was not acti-
vated.
The PRECHARGE command should be issued x cycles after the READ command, where
x equals the number of desir ed data element pairs (pairs are r equired by the 2 n-prefetch
architectur e). This is shown in Figure33 on page 68. Following the PRECHARGE
command, a subsequent command to the same bank cannot be issued until both tRAS
and tRP hav e been met. Part of the ro w pr echarg e time is hidden during the access of the
last data elements.

Figure 37: Data Output Timing – tAC and tDQSCK
Notes: 1. READ command with CL = 2 issued at T0.
2. tDQSCK is the DQS output window relative to CK and is the “long term” component of the
DQS skew.
3. DQ transitioning after DQS transition define the tDQSQ window .
4. All DQ must transition by tDQSQ after DQS transitions, regardless of tAC.
5. tAC is the DQ output window relative to CK and is the “long term” component of DQ skew.
6. tLZ (MIN) and tAC (MIN) are the first valid signal transitions.
7. tHZ (MAX) and tAC (MAX) are the latest valid signal transitions.
WRITE
During a WRITE command, the value on input A10 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 (after tWR time); if auto precharge is not
selected, the row will remain open for subsequent accesses.
Input data appearing on the DQ is written to the memory array subject to the DM input
logic level appearing coincident with the data. If a given DM signal i s re gister ed L O W, 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.
Note: For the WRITE commands used in the following illustrations, auto precharge is dis-
abled.
During WRITE bursts, the first valid data-in element will be registered on the first rising
edge of DQS following the WRITE command, and subsequent data elements will be
registered on successive edges of DQS. The LOW state on DQS between the WRITE
command and the first rising edge is known as the write preamble; the LOW state on
DQS following the last data-in element is known as the write postamble.
The time betwe en the WRIT E command and the first corr esponding rising edge of DQS
(tDQSS) is specified with a relatively wide range (from 75% to 125% of one clock cycle).
All of the WRITE diagrams show the nominal case, and where the two extreme ca ses
(that is, tDQSS [MIN] and tDQSS [MAX]) might not be intuitive; they have also been
included. Fi gure38 on page 74 sho ws the nominal case and the extr emes of tDQSS for BL
= 4. Upon completion of a burst, assuming n o other commands have been initiated, the
DQ will remain High-Z and any additional input data will be ignored.

Data for any WRITE burst may be concatenated with or truncated with a subsequent
WRITE command. In either case, a continuous flow of input data can be maintained.
The new WRITE command can be issued on any positive edge of clock following the
previous WRITE command. The first data element from the new burst is applied after
either the last element of a completed burst or the last desired data element of a longer
burst which is being truncated. The new WRITE command should be issued x cycles
after the first WRITE command, where x equals the number of desired data element
pairs (pairs are required by the 2n-prefetch architecture).
Figure 39 on page 75 sho ws concatenated bursts of 4. An example of nonconsecutive
WRITEs is shown in Figure 40 on page 76. Ful l-spe ed random write accesse s within a
page or pages can be performed as shown in Figure 41 on page 76.
Data for any WRITE burst may be followed by a subsequent READ command. To follow a
WRITE without truncating the WRITE burst, tWTR should be met, as shown in Figure 42
on page 77.
Data for any WRITE burst may be truncated b y a subsequent READ command, as shown
in Figure 43 on page 78.
Note that only the data-in pairs that are r egistered prior to the tWTR p eriod are writt en
to the internal array, and any subsequent data-in should be masked with DM, as shown
in Figure 44 on page 79.
Data for any WRITE burst may be followed by a subsequent PRECHARGE command. To
follow a WRITE without truncating the WRITE burst, tWR should be met, as shown in
Figure45 on page 80.
Data for any WRITE burst may be truncated by a subsequent PRECHARGE command, as
shown in Figure 46 on page 81 and Figure 47 on page 82. Only the data-in pairs regis-
tered prior to the tWR per io d are written to the internal array; any subsequent data-in
should be masked with DM, as show n in F igures 46 and 47. After the PRECHARGE
command, a subsequent command to the same bank cannot be issued until tRP is met.

PRECHARGE
The bank(s) will be available for a subsequent row access a specified time (tRP) after the
PRECHAR GE command is issued, except in the case of concurrent auto precharge. With
concurrent auto precharge, a READ or WRITE command to a different bank is allowed as
long as it does not interrupt the data transfer in the current bank and does not violate
any other timing parameters. I nput A10 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, BA0, BA1 are treated as “Dont
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 that bank. A PRECHARGE
command will be treated as a NOP if there is no open row in that bank (idle state), or if
the previously open row is already in the process of precharging.
Auto Precharge
Auto precharge is a feature which performs the same individual-bank pr echarge func-
tion described above, but without requiring an explicit command. This is acc o m pli s h ed
by using A10 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 either enabled or disabled for each individual READ or WRITE
command. This device supports concurrent auto precharge if the command to the other
bank does not interrupt the data transfer to the current bank.
Auto precharge ensures that the precharge is initiated at the earliest valid stage 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 “Operations” on page 52. The user must not issue another command
to the same bank until the precharge time (tRP) is completed.

AUTO REFRESH
During au to refresh, the addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This
makes the address bits a “Dont Care” during an AUTO REFRESH command. The DDR
SDRAM requires AUTO REFRESH cycles at an average interval of tREFI (MAX).
To allow for improved ef ficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexi-
bility in the absolute r efresh interval is provided. A maximum of eight AUTO REFRESH
commands can be posted to any giv en DDR SDRAM, meaning that the maximum abso-
lute interval betw een any AUTO REFRESH command and the next AUTO REFRESH
command is 9 × tREFI(= tREFC). JEDEC specifications only support 8 × tREFI; Micron
specifications exceed the JEDEC requirement by one clock. This maximu m absolute
interval is to allow future support for DLL updates, internal to the DDR SDRAM, to be
restricted to AUTO REFRESH cycles, without allowing excessive dri ft in tAC between
updates.

begins when the AUTO REFRESH command is registered and ends tRFC later.
Figure 53: Auto Refresh Mode
Notes: 1. NOP commands are shown for ease of illustration; other valid commands may be possible at
these times. CKE must be active during clock-positive transitions.
2. NOP or COMMAND INHIBIT are the only commands allowed until after tRFC time; CKE must
be active during clock-positive transitions.
3. The second AUTO REFRESH is not required and is only shown as an exampl e of two b ack-to -

4. “Don’t Care” if A10 is HIGH at this point; A10 must be HIGH if more than one bank is active

5. DM, DQ, and DQS signals are all “Don’t Care”/High-Z for the operations shown.
SELF REFRESH
When in the self refresh mode, the DDR SDRAM retains data without external clocking.
The DLL is automatically disabled upon entering SELF REFRESH and is automatically
enabled upon exiting SELF REFRESH (a DLL reset and 200 clock cycles must then occur
before a READ command can be issued). Input signals except CKE are “Dont Care
during SELF REFRESH. VREF voltage is also required for the full duration of 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 DDR
SDRAM must have NOP comm ands issued for tXSNR because time is required for the
completion of any internal refresh in progress. A simple algorithm for meeting both
refresh and DLL requirements is to apply NOPs for tXSRD time, then a DLL RESET (via

the extended mode register) and NOPs for 200 additional clock cycles before applying a
READ. Any command other than a READ can be performed tXSNR (MIN) after the DLL
reset. NOP or DESELECT commands must be issued during the tXSNR (MIN) time.
Self refresh is not supported on automotive tempature (AT) devices.
Figure 54: Self Refresh Mode
Notes: 1. Clock must be stable until after the SELF REFRESH command has been registered. A change
in clock frequency is allowed before Ta0, provided it is within the specified tCK limits.
Regardless, the clock must be stable before exiting self refresh mode—that is, the clock
must be cycling within specifications by Ta0.
2. NOPs are interchangeable with DESELECT commands.
3. AUTO REFRESH is not required at this point but is highly recommended.
4. Device must be in the all banks idle state prior to entering self refresh mode.
5. tXSNR is required before any non-READ command can be applied; that is only NOP or DESE-
LECT commands are allowed until Tb1.
6. tXSRD (200 cycles of a valid clock with CKE = HIGH) is required before any READ command
can be applied.
7. As a general rule, any time self refresh mode is exited, the DRAM may not re-enter the self
refresh mode until all rows have been refreshed via the AUTO REFRESH command at the
distributed refresh rate, tREFI, or faster. However, the self refresh mode may be re-entered
anytime after exiting if each of the following conditions is met:
7a. The DRAM had been in the self refresh mode for a minimum of 200ms prior to exiting.
7b. tXSNR and tXSRD are not violated.
7c. At least two AUTO REFRESH commands are performed during each tREFI interval while
the DRAM remains out of self refresh mode.
8. If the clock frequency is changed during self refresh mode, a DLL reset is required upon exit .
9. Once the device is initialized, VREF must always be powered within specified range.

Power-down (CKE Not Active)
Unlike SDR SDRAMs, DDR SDRAMs require 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
access. Thus a clock suspend is not supported. For READs, an access complet ion is
defined when the read postamble is satisfied; for WRITEs, when the write recovery time
(tWR) is satisfied.
Po wer-down, as shown in Figure 55 on page 91, is entered when CKE is registered LOW
and all criteria in Table 33 on page 47 are met. If power-down occurs when all banks are
idle, this mode is referred to as precharge power -down; if power-down occurs when a
ro w is active in any bank, this mode is referred to as active power-down. Entering power-
down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK#, and CKE. For
maximum po wer savings, the DLL is frozen during pr echarge po wer -do wn mode. Exiting
power-down requires the device to be at the same voltage and frequency as when it
entered power-down. However, power-down duration is limited by the refresh require-
ments of the device (tREFC or tREFCAT).
While in power-down, CKE LOW and a stable clock signal must be maintained at the
inputs of the DDR SDRAM, while all other input signals are “ Dont 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 one clock
cycle later.

Figure 55: Power-Down Mode
Notes: 1. Once initialized, VREF must always be powered with in the specified range.
2. If this command is a PRECHARGE (or if the device is already in the idle state), then the
power-down mode shown is precharge power-down. If this command is an ACTIVE (or if at
least one row is already active), then the power-down mode shown is active power-down.
3. No column accesses are allowed to be in progress at the time power-down is entered.
