Power On and Initialization
The default power on state of the mode register is supplier specific and may be undefined. The
following power on and initialization sequence guarantees the device is preconditioned to each
us ers sp ec ifi c n ee ds . Like a co nve nti on al DRA M, the S yn chr on ous DRA M m us t be po w ere d up and
initialized in a predefined manner. During power on, all VDD and VDDQ pins must be built up
simultaneously to the specified voltage when the input signals are held in the “NOP” state. The
power on voltage must not ex ceed VDD + 0.3 V on any of the input pins or VDD supplies. The CLK
signal must be started at the same time. After power on, an initial pause of 200 µs is required
follo wed by a p rec harge of a ll ba nks using the prec harge comman d. To prevent data contention on
the DQ bus during power on, it is required that the DQM and CKE pins be held high during the initial
paus e pe rio d. O nce all b anks hav e be en p rec harge d, the M ode Re giste r Se t Co mman d mus t be
issued to initialize the Mode Register. A minimum of eight Auto Refresh cycles (CBR) are also
required.These may be done before or after programming the Mode Register. Failure to follow these
steps may lead to unpredictable start-up modes.
Programming the Mode Register
The Mod e reg is t er de si gn ates th e op era t io n mo de at th e rea d o r wri t e cy cle . Th is regi st er i s di vi de d
into 4 fields. A Burst Length Field to set the length of the burst, an Addressing Selection bit to
program the column access se quence in a burst cycl e (interleav ed or sequential), a C AS Latency
Field to set the access time at clock cycle and a Operation mode field to differentiate between
normal operat ion (Bu rst read and burst Write) and a spec ial Burst Read an d Single Write mode.
After the initial power up, the mode set operation must be done before any activate command. Any
cont e nt of t h e mode r egi st er c an be al ter ed by r e-e xe cu ting t he mode se t c om man d. A ll b an ks mus t
be i n pr echarg ed st ate an d CKE must be h igh at le ast one cl ock b efore the m ode set oper ation . Aft er
th e mo de r e gi ster is set, a S ta ndby or N O P co mma nd i s r eq ui r ed . L ow s ignal s of R AS, CAS, and
WE at the positive edge of the clock activate the mode set operation. Address input data at this
timing defines parameters to be set as shown in the previous table.
Re ad and Wr ite O per a t io n
When RAS is low and both CAS and WE are high at the positive edge of the clock, a RAS cycle
starts. According to address da ta, a word line of the selected ba nk is a ctivate d and all of se nse
am plif i ers as so ci at ed t o th e w ord li ne a re set . A CA S cycle is triggered by setting RAS hi gh and CA S
low at a c lo ck ti min g a fte r a ne ce ssa ry de la y, tRCD, from the RAS timing. WE is us ed to de fi ne ei ther
a read (WE = H) or a write (WE = L) at this stage.
SDRAM provides a wide variety of fast access modes. In a single CAS cycle, se rial data read or
write op er at i on s a r e al lo w ed at up t o a 1 43 M Hz d at a rate. Th e nu m bers o f se r ia l da t a b its ar e the

addresses are segmented by the burst length and serial data accesses are done within this
boundary. The first column address to be accessed is supplied at the CAS timing and the
subsequent addresses are generated automatically by the programmed burst length and its
sequence. For example, in a burst length of 8 with interleave sequence, if the first address is ‘2’,
then the rest of the burst sequence is 3, 0, 1, 6, 7, 4, and 5.
