outputs will be in a High-Z state. During a self-refresh mode, CKE = Low should be maintained. SELF command should
only be issued after last read data has been appeared on DQ.
Note: When the burst refresh method is used, a total of 4096 auto-refresh commands within 4 ms must be asserted prior
to the self-refresh mode entry.
SELF-REFRESH EXIT (SELFX)
To exit self-refresh mode, apply minimum tCKSP after CKE brought high, and then the No operation command (NOP)
should be asserted within one tRC period. CKE should be held High within one tRC period after tCKSP.
MODE REGISTER SET (MRS)
The mode register of SDRAM provides a variety of different operations. The register consists of four operation fields;
Burst Length, Burst Type, CAS latency, and Operation Code. Refer to MODE REGISTER TABLE.
The mode register can be programmed by the Mode Register Set command (MRS). Each field is set by the address line.
Once a mode register is programmed, the contents of the register will be held until re-programmed by another MRS
command (or part loses power). MRS command should only be issued on condition that all DQ is in Hi-Z.
The condition of the mode register is undefined after the power-up stage. It is required to set each field after
initialization of SDRAM.
CHIP SELECT ( CS )
CS enables all commands inputs, RAS , CAS , and WE , and address input. When CS is High, command signals
are negated but internal operation such as burst cycle will not be suspended. If such a control isn’t needed, CS can be
tied to ground level.
COMMAND INPUT ( RAS , CAS , and WE )
Unlike a conventional DRAM, RAS , CAS , and WE do not directly imply SDRAM operation, such as Row address
strobe by RAS . Instead, each combination of RAS , CAS , and WE input in conjunction with CS input at a rising
edge of the CLK determines SDRAM operation.
ADDRESS INPUT (A0 to A11)
Address input selects an arbitrary location of a total of 1,048,576 words of each memory cell matrix. A total of twenty
address input signals are required to decode such a matrix. SDRAM adopts an address multiplexer in order to reduce
the pin count of the address line. At a Bank Active command (ACTV), twelve Row addresses are initially latched and the
remainders of eight Column addresses are then latched by a Column address strobe command of either a Read
command (READ or READA) or Write command (WRIT or WRITA).
BANK SELECT (A12, A13)
This SDRAM has four banks and each bank is organized as 1 M words by 16-bit.
Bank selection by A13, A12 occurs at Bank Active command (ACTV) followed by read (READ or READA), write
(WRIT or WRITA), and precharge command (PRE).
