DDR SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures other than those specified may
result in undefined operation. No power sequencing is specified during power up and power down given the following
•V
DD and VDDQ are driven from a single power converter output, AND
•V
TT is limited to 1.35 V, AND
•V
REF tracks VDDQ/2 OR, the following relationships must be followed:
•V
DDQ is driven after or with VDD such that
•V
DDQ < VDD + 0.3 V AND
•V
TT is driven after or with VDDQ such that VTT < VDDQ + 0.3 V, AND
•V
REF is driven after or with VDDQ such that VREF < VDDQ + 0.3 V.
At least one of these two conditions must be met.
Except for CKE, inputs are not recognized as valid until after VREF is applied. CKE is an SSTL_2 input, but will detect an LVCMOS LOW
level after VDD is applied. Maintaining an LVCMOS LOW level on CKE during power up is required to guarantee that the DQ and DQS
outputs will be in the High–Z state, where they will remain until driven in normal operation (by a read access). After all power supply and
reference voltages are stable, and the clock is stable, the DDR SDRAM requires a 200 µs delay prior to applying an executable com-
mand. Once the 200 µs delay has been satisfied, a DESELECT or NOP command should be applied, and CKE should be brought
HIGH. Following the NOP command, a PRECHARGE ALL command should be applied. Next a MODE REGISTER SET command
should be issued for the Extended Mode Register, to enable the DLL, then a MODE REGISTER SET command should be issued for the
Mode Register, to reset the DLL, and to program the operating parameters. 200 clock cycles are required between the DLL reset and
any read command. A PRECHARGE ALL command should be applied, placing the device in the ”all banks idle” state.
Once in the idle state, two AUTO refresh cycles must be performed. Additionally, a MODE REGISTER SET command for the Mode Reg-
ister, with the reset DLL bit deactivated (i.e., to program operating parameters without resetting the DLL) must be performed. Following
these cycles, the DDR SDRAM is ready for normal operation.

The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of DDR SDRAM. It programs CAS latency, addressing
mode, burst length, test mode, DLL reset and various vendor specific options to make DDR SDRAM useful for variety of different appli-
cations. The default value of the mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register must be written after EMRS setting for proper
DDR SDRAM operation. The mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS, WE and BA0(The DDR SDRAM should be in
all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register). The states of address pins A0 ~ A11 in the same cycle
as CS, RAS, CAS, WE and BA0 going low are written in the mode register. Two clock cycles are requested to complete the write opera-
tion in the mode register. The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during
operation as long as all banks are in the idle state. The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. The burst
length uses A0 ~ A2, addressing mode uses A3, CAS latency(read latency from column address) uses A4 ~ A6. A7 is used for test
mode. A8 is used for DLL reset. A7 must be set to low for normal MRS operation. Refer to the table for specific codes for various burst
lengths, addressing modes and CAS latencies.

The extended mode register stores the data for enabling or disabling DLL, and selecting output driver size. The default value of the
extended mode register is not defined, therefore the extened mode register must be written after power up for enabling or disabling DLL.
The extended mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS, WE and high on BA0(The DDR SDRAM should be in all bank
precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the extended mode register). The state of address pins A0 ~ A11 and BA1 in the
same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS and WE going low are written in the extended mode register. Two clock cycles are required to complete
the write operation in the extended mode register. The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock
cycle requirements during operation as long as all banks are in the idle state. A0 is used for DLL enable or disable. "High" on BA0 is
used for EMRS. All the other address pins except A0, A1, A6, A11 and BA0 must be set to low for proper EMRS operation. Refer to the
table for specific codes.

DLL Enable/Disable
The DLL must be enabled for normal operation. DLL enable is required during powerup initialization, and upon returning to normal
operation after having disabled the DLL for the purpose of debug or evaluation (upon exiting Self Refresh Mode, the DLL is enabled
automatically). Any time the DLL is enabled, 200 clock cycles must occur before a READ command can be issued.
Output Drive Strength
The normal drive strength for all outputs is specified to be SSTL_2, Class II. Samsung supports a weak driver strength option, intended
for lighter load and/or point-to-point environments. I-V curves for the normal drive strength and weak drive strength are included in
11.1~2 of this document.

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. Taking CKE Low provides PRECHARGE POWER-
DOWN and SELF REFRESH operation (all banks idle), or ACTIVE POWER DOWN (row
ACTIVE in any bank). CKE is synchronous for POWER DOWN entry and exit, and for SELF
REFRESH entry. CKE is asynchronous for SELF REFRESH exit, and for output disable. CKE
must be maintained high throughput READ and WRITE accesses. Input buffers, excluding CK,
CK and CKE are disabled during POWER DOWN. Input buffers, excluding CKE are disabled
during SELF REFRESH. CKE is an SSTL_2 input, but will detect an LVCMOS Low level after
VDD is applied upon 1st power up, After VREF has become stable during the power on and ini-
tialization sequence, it must be maintained for proper operation of the CKE receiver. For
proper SELF REFRESH entry and exit, VREF must be maintained to this input.
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 part of the command code.
RAS, CAS, WE Input Command Inputs : RAS, CAS and WE (along with CS) define 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 data on DQ0~D7 ; UDM corresponds to the data
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 : 11] 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).
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 data 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 : +2.5V ± 0.2V.
VSSQ Supply DQ Ground.
VDD Supply Power Supply : +2.5V ± 0.2V.
VSS Supply Ground.
VREF Input SSTL_2 reference voltage.

2M x 16Bit x 4 Banks Double Data Rate SDRAM
The K4H281638L is 134,217,728 bits of double data rate synchronous DRAM organized as 4x 2,097,152 words by 16bits, fabricated
with SAMSUNGs high performance CMOS technology. Synchronous features with Data Strobe allow extremely high performance up to
500Mb/s per pin. I/O transactions are possible on both edges of DQS. Range of operating frequencies, programmable burst length and
programmable latencies allow the device to be useful for a variety of high performance memory system applications.
Note : Permanent device damage may occur if ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS are exceeded.
Functional operation should be restricted to recommend operation condition.
Exposure to higher than recommended voltage for extended periods of time could affect device reliability.

11.0 Absolute Maximum Rating
Recommended operating conditions(Voltage referenced to VSS=0V, TA=0 to 70°C)
Note :
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 vari-
ations 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.

Note :
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 = +2.5V +0.2V, VDD = +2.5V+0.2V. For all devices, f=100MHz, tA=25°C, VOUT(DC) = VDDQ/2,
VOUT(peak to peak) = 0.2V. DM inputs are grouped with I/O pins - reflecting the fact that they are matched in loading (to facilitate trace matching at the

Note :
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. VREF is expected to equal VDDQ/2 of the transmitting device and to track variations in the DC level of the same.
Peak-to-peak noise (non-common mode) on VREF may not exceed ±2 percent of the DC value. Thus, from VDDQ/2, VREF is allowed ± 25mV for
DC error and an additional ± 25mV for AC noise. This measurement is to be taken at the nearest VREF by-pass capacitor.

1. All voltages referenced to VSS.
2. Tests for ac timing, IDD, and electrical, ac and dc characteristics, may be conducted at nominal reference/supply voltage levels,
but the related specifications and device operation are guaranteed for the full voltage range specified.
3. Figure 1 represents the timing reference load used in defining the relevant timing parameters of the part. It is not intended to be
either a precise representation of the typical system environment nor a depiction of the actual load presented by a production
tester. System designers will use IBIS or other simulation tools to correlate the timing reference load to a system environment.
Manufacturers will correlate to their production test conditions (generally a coaxial transmission line terminated at the tester elec-
tronics).
4. AC timing and IDD tests may use a VIL to VIH swing of up to 1.5 V in the test environment, but input timing is still referenced to
VREF (or to the crossing point for CK/CK), and parameter specifications are guaranteed for the specified ac input levels under nor-
mal use conditions. The minimum slew rate for the input signals is 1 V/ns in the range between VIL(AC) and VIH(AC).
5. The ac and dc input level specifications are as defined in the SSTL_2 Standard (i.e., the receiver will effectively switch as a result
of the signal crossing the ac input level and will remain in that state as long as the signal does not ring back above (below) the dc
input LOW (HIGH) level.
6. Inputs are not recognized as valid until VREF stabilizes. Exception: during the period before VREF stabilizes, CKE 0.2VDDQ is
recognized as LOW.
7. Enables on.chip refresh and address counters.
8. IDD specifications are tested after the device is properly initialized.
9. The CK/CK input reference level (for timing referenced to CK/CK) is the point at which CK and CK cross; the input reference level
for signals other than CK/CK, is VREF
.
10. The output timing reference voltage level is VTT
.
11. tHZ and tLZ transitions occur in the same access time windows as valid data transitions. These parameters are not referenced to
a specific voltage level but specify when the device output is no longer driving (HZ), or begins driving (LZ).
12. 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.
13. 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 transitioning from High- Z to logic LOW. If a previous write was in progress, DQS could
be HIGH, LOW, or transitioning from HIGH to LOW at this time, depending on tDQSS.
14. A maximum of eight AUTO REFRESH commands can be posted to any given DDR SDRAM device.
15. For command/address input slew rate 1.0 V/ns
16. For command/address input slew rate 0.5 V/ns and < 1.0 V/ns

17. For CK & CK slew rate 1.0 V/ns
18. These parameters guarantee device timing, but they are not necessarily tested on each device. They may be guaranteed by
device design or tester correlation.
19. Slew Rate is measured between VOH(AC) and VOL(AC).
20. Min (tCL, tCH) refers to the smaller of the actual clock low time and the actual clock 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.
21. 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 worst
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.
22. 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.
23. 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 at CL=3 and
tCK=5ns tDAL = (15 ns / 5 ns) + (15 ns/ 5 ns) = (3) + (3)
tDAL = 6 clocks

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.
The remaining DQ bits remain the same as for previous state.
d. Evaluation conditions
Typical : 25 °C (T Ambient), VDDQ = 2.5V, typical process
Minimum : 70 °C (T Ambient), VDDQ = 2.3V, 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 represents the maximum difference between pullup and pulldown drivers due to process variation.
f. Verified under typical conditions for qualification purposes.
g. TSOPII package divices only.
h. Only intended for operation up to 500 Mbps per pin.
i. 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.
j. A derating factor will be used to increase tDS and tDH in the case where DQ, DM, and DQS slew rates differ, 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 rise, fall rate is - 0.5ns/V . Using the table given, this
would result in the need for an increase in tDS and tDH of 100 ps.
k. 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.
l. 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 monotonic.
a. Pullup slew rate is characteristized under the test conditions as shown in Figure 2.

DDR SDRAM Output Driver V-I Characteristics
DDR SDRAM Output driver characteristics are defined for full and half strength operation as selected by the EMRS bit A1.
Figures 4, 5 and 6 show the driver characteristics graphically, and tables 8, 9 and 10 show the same data in tabular format suitable for
input into simulation tools. The driver characteristcs evaluation conditions are:
Output Driver Characteristic Curves Notes:
1. The full variation in driver current from minimum to maximum process, temperature and voltage will lie within the outer bounding lines
the of the V-I curve of Figures 4, 5 and 6.
2. It is recommended that the "typical" IBIS V-I curve lie within the inner bounding lines of the V-I curves of Figures 4, 5 and 6.
3. The full variation in the ratio of the "typical" IBIS pullup to "typical" IBIS pulldown current should be unity +/- 10%, for device drain to
source voltages from 0.1 to1.0. This specification is a design objective only. It is not guaranteed.
Typical 25×C VDD/VDDQ = 2.5V, typical process
Minimum 70×C VDD/VDDQ = 2.3V, slow-slow process
Maximum 0×C VDD/VDDQ = 2.7V, fast-fast process
