1. The system applies Self Refresh entry command.
(CKE→Low, CS→Low, RAS → Low, CAS→Low, WE→High)
Note: The commands reach the DDR SDRAM one clock later due to the additional register pipelining on a
Registered DIMM. After this command is issued to the SDRAM, all of the address and control and clock input
conditions to the SDRAM are Don’t Cares— with the exception of CKE.
2. The system sets RESET at a valid low level.
This input condition forces all register outputs to a low state, independent of the condition on the registerm
inputs (data and clock), and ensures that CKE, and all other control and address signals, are a stable low-
level at the DDR SDRAMs. Since the RESET signal is asynchronous, setting the RESET timing in relation to
a specific clock edge is not required.
3. The system turns off clock inputs to the DIMM. (Optional)
a. In order to reduce DIMM PLL current, the clock inputs to the DIMM are turned off, resulting in High-Zclock
inputs to both the SDRAMs and the registers. This must be done after the RESET deactivate time of the reg-
ister (t (INACT) ). The deactivate time defines the time in which the clocks and the control and address sig-
nals must maintain valid levels after RESET low has been applied and is specified in the register and DIMM
documentation.
b. The system may release DIMM address and control inputs to High-Z.
This can be done after the RESET deactivate time of the register. The deactivate time defines the time in
which the clocks and the control and the address signals must maintain valid levels after RESET low has
been applied. It is highly recommended that CKE continue to remain low during this operation.
4. The DIMM is in lowest power Self Refresh mode.

1. Stabilization of Clocks to the SDRAM.
The system must drive clocks to the application frequency (PLL operation is not assured until the input clock
reaches ~20MHz). Stability of clocks at the SDRAMs will be affected by all applicable system clock devices,
and time must be allotted to permit all clock devices to settle. Once a stable clock is received at the DIMM
PLL, the required PLL stabilization time (assuming power to the DIMM is stable) is 100 microseconds.
2. The system applies valid logic levels to the data inputs of the register (address and controls at the DIMM con-
nector).
CKE must be maintained low and all other inputs should be driven to a known state. In general these com-
mands can be determined by the system designer. One option is to apply an SDRAM ‘NOP’ command (with
CKE low), as this is the first command defined by the JEDEC Self Refresh Exit sequence (ideally this would
be a ‘NOP Deselect’ command). A second option is to apply low levels on all of the register inputs, to be con-
sistent with the state of the register outputs.
3. The system switches RESET toalogic‘high’level.
The SDRAM is now functional and prepared to receive commands. Since the RESET signal is asynchronous,
RESET timing relationship to a specific clock edge is not required (during this period, register inputs must
remain stable).
4. The system must maintain stable register inputs until normal register operation is attained.
The registers have an activation time that allows the clock receivers, input receivers, and output drivers suffi-
cient time to be turned on and become stable. During this time the system must maintain the valid logic levels
described in Step 2. It is also a functional requirement that the registers maintain a low state at the CKE out-
puts to guarantee that the DDR SDRAMs continue to receive a low level on CKE. Register activation time (t
(ACT) ), from asynchronous switching of RESET from low to high until the registers are stable and ready to
accept an input signal, is specified in the register and DIMM do-umentation.
5. System can begin the JEDEC-defined DDR SDRAM Self Refresh Exit Procedure.
