Pin Assignments and Descriptions
Table 6: Pin Descriptions
Symbol Type Description
A[15:0] Input Address inpu ts : Provide the row address for ACTIVATE 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 is sampled during a PRECHARGE
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 precharged, 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. A[13:0] address the 1Gb DDR3 devices. A[15:14] are needed to
calculate parity on the command/address bus.
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. BA[1:0] are used
as part of the parity calculation.
CK0, CK0# Inp ut Clock: CK and CK# are differential clock inputs. All control, command, and address input
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.
ODT0 Input On-die termination: ODT enables (registered HIGH) and disables (registered LOW)
termin a tion resistance internal to the DRAM. When enabled in normal operation, ODT is
only applied to the following pins: DQ, DQS, DQS#, an d DM. The ODT input will be
ignored if disabled via the LOAD MO DE co mmand .
PAR_INInput Parity input: Parity bit for the address, RAS#, CAS#, and WE#.
RAS#, CAS#,
WE# Input Command inputs: RAS#, CAS#, and WE# (along wit h S#) define the command bein g
entered.
RESET# Input
(LVCMOS) Reset: RESET# is an active LOW CMOS input referenced to VSS. The RESET# input receiver
is a CMOS input defined as a rail-to-rail signal with DC HIGH ≥0.8 × VDD and
DC LOW ≤0.2 × VDD. RESET# assertion and deassertion are asynchronous. System
applications will most likely be unterminated, heavily loaded, and have very slow slew
rates. A slow slew rate receiver design is recommended al on g with impl ementin g on -ch ip
noise filtering to prevent false triggering (RESET# assertion minimum pulse width is
100ns).
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
communication 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[17:0],
DQS#[17:0] 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 EEPR OM on the module on the I2C bus.
ERR_OUT# Output
(open drain) Parity error output: Parity error found on the command and address bus.
EVENT# Output
(open drain) Temperature event: The EVENT# pin is asserted by the temperature sensor when critical
temperature thresholds have been exceeded.
