SYMBOL TYPE DESCRIPTION
CK, CK Input Clock : CK and CK are differential clock inputs. All address and control input signals are sam-
pled on the positive edge of CK and negative edge of CK. Output (read) data is referenced to
both edges of CK. Internal clock signals are derived from CK/CK.
CKE Input
Clock Enable : CKE HIGH activates, and CKE LOW deactivates internal clock signals, and
device input buffers and output drivers. Deactivating the clock provides PRECHARGE
POWER-DOWN and SELF REFRESH operation (all banks idle), or ACTIVE POWER-DOWN
(row ACTIVE in any bank). CKE is synchronous for all functions except for disabling outputs,
which is achieved asynchronously. Input buffers, excluding CK, CK and CKE are disabled dur-
ing power-down and self refresh modes, providing low standby power. CKE will recognize an
LVCMOS LOW level prior to VREF being stable on power-up.
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
bank selection on systems with multiple banks. CS is considered p art of the command code.
RAS, CAS, WE Input Command Inputs : RAS, CAS and WE (along with CS) defi ne the command being entered.
LDM,(UDM) Input
Input Data Mask : DM is an input 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 matches the DQ and DQS
loading. For the x16, LDM corresponds to the dat a on DQ0~D7 ; UDM corresponds to the dat a
on DQ8~DQ15. DM may be driven high, low , or floating during READs.
BA0, BA1 Input Bank Addres Inputs : BA0 and BA1 define to which bank an ACTIVE, READ, WRITE or PRE-
CHARGE command is being applied.
A [0 : 12] Input
Address Inputs : Provide the row address for ACTIVE commands, and the column address and
AUTO PRECHARGE bit for READ/WRITE commands, to select one location out of the mem-
ory array in the respective bank. A10 is sampled during a PRECHARGE command to deter-
mine whether the PRECHARGE applies to one bank (A10 LOW) or all banks (A10 HIGH). If
only one bank is to be precharged, the bank is selected by BA0, BA1. The address inputs also
provide the op-code during a MODE REGISTER SET command. BA0 and BA1 define which
mode register is loaded during the MODE REGISTER SET command (MRS or EMRS).
A12 & A13 are used on device densities of 256Mb and greater, and A13 is used only on 1Gb
decices.
DQ I/O Data Input/Output : Data bus
LDQS,(U)DQS I/O Data Strobe : Output with read data, input with write data. Edge-aligned with read data, cen-
tered in write data. Used to capture write data. For the x16, LDQS corresponds to the dat a on
DQ0~D7 ; UDQS corresponds to the data on DQ8~DQ15
NC - No Connect : No internal electrical connection is present.
VDDQ Supply DQ Power Supply : +2.6V ± 0.1V.
VSSQ Supply DQ Ground.
VDD Supply Power Supply : +2.6V ± 0.1V (device specific).

1. OP Code : Operand Code. A0 ~ A12 & BA0 ~ BA1 : Program keys. (@EMRS/MRS)
2. EMRS/MRS can be issued only at all banks precharge state.
A new command can be issued 2 clock cycles after EMRS or MRS.
3. Auto refresh functions are same as the CBR refresh of DRAM.
The automatical precharge without row precharge command is meant by "Auto".
Auto/self refresh can be issued only at all banks precharge state.
4. BA0 ~ BA1 : Bank select addresses.
If both BA0 and BA1 are "Low" at read, write, row active and precharge, bank A is selected.
If BA0 is "High" and BA1 is "Low" at read, write, row active and precharge, bank B is selected.
If BA0 is "Low" and BA1 is "High" at read, write, row active and precharge, bank C is selected.
If both BA0 and BA1 are "High" at read, write, row active and precharge, bank D is selected.
5. If A10/AP is "High" at row precharge, BA0 and BA1 are ignored and all banks are selected.
6. During burst write with auto precharge, new read/write command can not be issued.
Another bank read/write command can be issued after the end of burst.
New row active of the associated bank can be issued at tRP after the end of burst.
7. Burst stop command is valid at every burst length.
8. DM(x4/8) sampled at the rising and falling edges of the DQS and Data-in are masked at the both edges (Write DM latency is 0).
UDM/LDM(x16 only) sampled at the rising and falling edges of the UDQS/LDQS and Data-in are masked at the both edges
(Write UDM/LDM latency is 0).
9. This combination is not defined for any function, which means "No Operation(NOP)" in DDR SDRAM.

1.VREF is expected to be equal to 0.5*VDDQ of the transmitting device, and to track variations in the dc level of same.
Peak-to peak noise on VREF may not exceed +/-2% of the dc value.
2. VTT is not applied directly to the device. VTT is a system supply for signal termination resistors, is expected to be set equal to
VREF, and must track variations in the DC level of VREF
3. VID is the magnitude of the difference between the input level on CK and the input level on CK.
4. The ratio of the pullup current to the pulldown current is specified for the same temperature and voltage, over the entire
temperature and voltage range, for device drain to source voltages from 0.25V to 1.0V. For a given output, it represents the
maximum difference between pullup and pulldown drivers due to process variation. The full variation in the ratio of the
maximum to minimum pullup and pulldown current will not exceed 1/7 for device drain to source voltages from 0.1 to 1.0.
5. This is the DC voltage supplied at the DRAM and is inclusive of all noise up to 20MHz. Any noise above 20MHz at the DRAM
generated from any source other than the DRAM itself may not exceed the DC voltage range of 2.6V +/-100mV.

1.These values are guaranteed by design and are tested on a sample basis only.
2. Although DM is an input -only pin, the input capacitance of this pin must model the input capacitance of the DQ and DQS pins.
This is required to match signal propagation times of DQ, DQS, and DM in the system.
3. Unused pins are tied to ground.
4. This parameteer is sampled. VDDQ = +2.6V +0.1V, VDD = +2.6V +0.1V, f=100MHz, tA=25°C, Vout(dc) =

Component Notes
1.VID is the magnitude of the difference between the input level on CK and the input level on CK.
2. The value of VIX is expected to equal 0.5*VDDQ of the transmitting device and must track variations in the dc level of the same.
3. tHZ and tLZ transitions occur in the same access time windows as valid data transitions. these par ameters are not referenced to a
specific voltage level but specify when the device output in no longer driving (HZ), or begins driving (LZ).
4. The maximum limit for this parameter is not a device limit. The device will operate with a greater value for this parameter, but sys
tem performance (bus turnaround) will degrade accordingly.
5. The specific requirement is that DQS be valid (HIGH, LOW, or at some point on a valid transition) on or before this CK edge. A
valid transition is defined as monotonic and meeting the input slew rate specifications of the device. when no writes were previ
ously in progress on the bus, DQS will be tr an sitioning from High- Z to logic LOW. If a previous write was i n progr ess , DQS could
be HIGH, LOW, or transitioning from HIGH to LOW at this time, depending on tDQSS.
6. A maximum of eight AUTO REFRESH commands can be posted to any given DDR SDRAM device.
7. For command/address input slew rate 0.5 V/ns
8. For CK & CK slew rate 0.5 V/ns
9. These parameters guarantee device timing, but they are not necessarily tested on each device. They may be guaranteed by
device design or tester correlation.
10. Slew Rate is measured between VOH(ac) and VOL(ac).
11. Min (tCL, tCH) refers to the smaller of the actual clock low time and the actual clo ck high time as provided to the device (i.e. this
value can be greater than the minimum specification limits for tCL and tCH).....For example, tCL and tCH are = 50% of the
period, less the half period jitter (tJIT(HP)) of the clock source, and less the half period jitter due to crosstalk (tJIT(crosstalk)) into
the clock traces.
12. tQH = tHP - tQHS, where:
tHP = minimum half clock period for any given cycle and is defined by clock high or clock low (tCH, tCL). tQHS accounts for 1) The
pulse duration distortion of on-chip clock circuits; and 2) The worst case push-out of DQS on one tansition followed by the wors t
case pull-in of DQ on the next transition, both of which are, separately, due to data pin skew and output pattern effects, and p-
channel to n-channel variation of the output drivers.
13. tDQSQ
Consists of data pin skew and output pattern effects, and p-channel to n-channel variation of the output drivers for any given
cycle.
14. tDAL = (tWR/tCK) + (tRP/tCK)
For each of the terms above, if not already an integer , round to the next highest integer. Example: For DDR400(CC) at CL=3 and
tCK=5ns tDAL = (15 ns / 5 ns) + (15 ns/ 5ns) = {(3) + (3)}CLK
tDAL = 6 clocks
15. In all circumstances, tXSNR can be satisfied using tXSNR=tRFCmin+1*tCK
16. The only time that the clock frequency is allowed to change is during self-refresh mode.

System Notes :
a. Pullup slew rate is characteristized under the test conditions as shown in Figure 1.
Output Test point
VSSQ

b. Pulldown slew rate is measured under the test conditions shown in Figure 2.
Output Test point
VDDQ
50
Figure 2 : Pulldown slew rate test load
c. Pullup slew rate is measured between (VDDQ/2 - 320 mV +/- 250 mV)
Pulldown slew rate is measured between (VDDQ/2 + 320 mV +/- 250 mV)
Pullup and Pulldown slew rate conditions are to be met for any pattern of data, including all outputs switching and only one output
switching.
Example : For typical slew rate, DQ0 is switching
For minmum slew rate, all DQ bits are switching from either high to low, or low to high.
For Maximum slew rate, only one DQ is switching from either high to low, or low to high.
The remaining DQ bits remain the same as for previous state.
d. Evaluation conditions
Typical : 25 °C (T Ambient), VDDQ = 2.6V, typical process
Minimum : 70 °C (T Ambient), VDDQ = 2.5V, slow - slow process
Maximum : 0 °C (T Ambient), VDDQ = 2.7V, fast - fast process
e. The ratio of pullup slew rate to pulldown slew rate is specified for the same temperature and voltage, over the entire temperature and
voltage range. For a given output, it represent s the maximum diff erence between pullup and pulldown drivers due to process variation.
f. Verified under typical conditions for qualification purposes.
g. TSOPII package divices only.
h. A derating factor will be used to increase tIS and tIH in the case where the input slew rate is below 0.5V/ns
as shown in Table 2. The Input slew rate is based on the lesser of the slew rates detemined by either VIH(AC) to VIL(AC) or
VIH(DC) to VIL(DC), similarly for rising transitions.
i. A derating factor will be used to increase tDS and tDH in the case where DQ, DM, and DQS slew rates dif fer, as shown in Tables 3 & 4.
Input slew rate is based on the larger of AC-AC delta rise, fall rate and DC-DC delta rise, Input slew rate is based on the lesser of the
slew rates determined by either VIH(AC) to VIL(AC) or VIH(DC) to VIL(DC), similarly for rising transitions.
The delta rise/fall rate is calculated as:
{1/(Slew Rate1)} - {1/(Slew Rate2)}
For example : If Slew Rate 1 is 0.5 V/ns and slew Rate 2 is 0.4 V/ns, then the delta r ise, fall rate is - 0.5ns/V . Using the t able given, this
would result in the need for an increase in tDS and tDH of 100 ps.

j. Table 3 is used to increase tDS and tDH in the case where the I/O slew rate is below 0.5 V/ns. The I/O slew rate is based on the lesser
on the lesser of the AC - AC slew rate and the DC- DC slew rate. The inut slew rate is based on the lesser of the slew rates deter
mined by either VIH(ac) to VIL(ac) or VIH(DC) to VIL(DC), and similarly for rising transitions.
k. DQS, DM, and DQ input slew rate is specified to prevent double clocking of data and preserve setup and hold times. Signal transi
tions through the DC region must be monotony.
