Power Up and Initialization
Like a Synchronous DRAM, Low Power SDRAM must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Power must
be applied to VDD and VDDQ(simultaneously). The clock signal must be started at the same time. After power up, an initial
pause of 200 µsec is required. And a precharge all command will be issued to the LP SDRAM. Then, 8 or more Auto refresh
cycles will be provided. After the Auto refresh cycles are completed, a mode register set(MRS) command will be issued to
program the specific mode of operation (Cas Latency, Burst length, etc.) And a extended mode register set command will
be issued to program specific mode of self refresh operation(PASR & TCSR). The following these cycles, the LP SDRAM
is ready for normal opeartion.
Programming the registers
Mode Register
The mode register contains the specific mode of operation of the LP SDRAM. This register includes the selection of a burst
length(1, 2, 4, 8, Full Page), a cas latency(1, 2, or 3), a burst type, an opearting mode to differentiate between normal mode
and a special burst read and single write mode. The mode register set must be done before any activate command after the
power up sequence. Any contents of the mode register be altered by re-programming the mode register through the execu-
tion of mode register set command.
Extended Mode Register
The extended mode register contains the specific features of self refresh opeartion of the LP SDRAM. This register includes
the selection of partial arrays to be refreshed(half array, quarter array, etc.), tempearture range of the device(85, 70, 45,
15) for reducing current consumption during self refresh. The extended mode register set must be done before any activate
command after the power up sequence. Any contents of the mode register be altered by re-programming the mode register
through the execution of extended mode register set command.
Bank(Row) Active
The Bank Active command is used to activate a row in a specified bank of the device. This command is initiated by activating
CS, RAS and deasserting CAS, WE at the positive edge of the clock. The value on the BA1 and BA0 selects the bank, and
the value on the A0-A11 selects the row. This row remains active for column access until a precharge command is issued
to that bank. Read and write opeartions can only be initiated on this activated bank after the minimum tRCD time is passed
from the activate command.
Read
The READ command is used to initiate the burst read of data. This command is initiated by activating CS, CAS, and deas-
serting WE, RAS at the positive edge of the clock. BA1 and BA0 inputs select the bank, A8-A0 address inputs select the
sarting column location. 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 active for subsequent accesses.The length of burst and the CAS latency will be determined by the values pro-
grammed during the MRS command.
Write
The WRITE command is used to initiate the burst write of data. This command is initiated by activating CS, CAS, WE and
deasserting RAS at the positive edge of the clock. BA1 and BA0 inputs select the bank, A8-A0 address inputs select the
starting column location. 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; if Auto Precharge is not selected, the
row will remain active for subsequent accesses.
