Table 5: Pin Descriptions
Symbol Type Description
A[14:0] Input Address inputs: Provide the row address for ACTIVATE commands, and the column
address and auto precharge bit (A10) for READ/WRITE commands, to select one loca-
tion out of the memory array in the respective bank. A10 is sampled during a PRE-
CHARGE command to determine whether the PRECHARGE applies to one bank (A10
LOW, bank selected by BA[2:0]) or all banks (A10 HIGH). If only one bank is to be pre-
charged, the bank is selected by BA. A12 is also used for BC4/BL8 identification as “BL on-
the-fly” during CAS commands. The address inputs also provide the op-code during the
mode register command set.
BA[2:0] Input Bank address inputs: BA[2:0] define the device bank to which an ACTIVATE, READ,
WRITE, or PRECHARGE command is being applied. BA[2:0] define which mode register
(MR0, MR1, MR2, and MR3) is loaded during the LOAD MODE command.
CK0, CK0# Input Clock: CK and CK# are differential clock inputs. All control, command, and address in-
put signals are sampled on the crossing of the positive edge of CK and the negative
edge of CK#.
CKE0 Input Clock enable: CKE enables (registered HIGH) and disables (registered LOW) internal
circuitry and clocks on the DRAM.
DM[8:0] Input Input data mask: DM is an input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked
when DM is sampled HIGH, along with the input data, during a write access. DM is sam-
pled on both edges of DQS. Although the DM pins are input-only, the DM loading is
designed to match that of the DQ and DQS pins.
ODT0 Input On-die termination: ODT enables (registered HIGH) and disables (registered LOW) ter-
mination resistance internal to the DRAM. When enabled in normal operation, ODT is
only applied to the following pins: DQ, DQS, DQS#, and DM. The ODT input will be ig-
nored if disabled via the LOAD MODE command.
RAS#, CAS#,
WE#
Input Command inputs: RAS#, CAS#, and WE# (along with S#) define the command being
entered.
RESET# Input
(LVCMOS)
Reset: RESET# is an active LOW CMOS input referenced to VSS. The RESET# input receiv-
er is a CMOS input defined as a rail-to-rail signal with DC HIGH ≥ 0.8 × VDD and DC LOW
≤ 0.2 × VDD.
S0# Input Chip select: S# enables (registered LOW) and disables (registered HIGH) the command
decoder.
SA[2:0] Input Serial address inputs: These pins are used to configure the temperature sensor/SPD
EEPROM address range on the I2C bus.
SCL Input Serial clock for temperature sensor/SPD EEPROM: SCL is used to synchronize com-
munication to and from the temperature sensor/SPD EEPROM.
CB[7:0] I/O Check bits: Data used for ECC.
DQ[63:0] I/O Data input/output: Bidirectional data bus.
DQS[8:0],
DQS#[8:0]
I/O Data strobe: DQS and DQS# are differential data strobes. Output with read data. Edge-
aligned with read data. Input with write data. Center-aligned with write data.
SDA I/O Serial data: SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses and data into and out
of the temperature sensor/SPD EEPROM on the I2C bus.
EVENT# Output
(open drain)
Temperature event: The EVENT# pin is asserted by the temperature sensor when criti-
cal temperature thresholds have been exceeded.
