Description
The 2Gb Double-Data-Rate-3 (DDR3) DRAMs is a high-speed CMOS Double Data Rate32 SDRAM containing
2,147,483,648 bits. It is internally configured as an octal-bank DRAM.
The 2Gb chip is organized as 64Mbit x 4 I/O x 8 bank and 32Mbit x 8 I/O x 8 banks . These synchronous devices achieve
high speed double-data-rate transfer rates of up to 1600 Mb/sec/pin for general applications.
The chip is designed to comply with all key DDR3 DRAM key features and all of the control and address inputs are
synchronized with a pair of externally supplied differential clocks. Inputs are latched at the cross point of differential clocks
(CK rising and falling). All I/Os are synchronized with a single ended DQS or differential DQS pair in a source
synchronous fashion.
These devices operate with a single 1.5V ± 0.075V and 1.35V -0.0675V/+0.1V power supply and are available in BGA
packages.

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. After VREF has
become stable during the power on and initialization sequence, it must be maintained
for proper operation of the CKE receiver. For proper self-refresh entry and exit, VREF
must maintain to this input. CKE must be maintained high throughout read and write
accesses. Input buffers, excluding CK, , ODT and CKE are disabled during Power
Down. Input buffers, excluding CKE, are disabled during Self-Refresh.

Basic Functionality
The DDR3(L) SDRAM G-Die is a high-speed dynamic random access memory internally configured as an eight-bank
DRAM. The DDR3(L) SDRAM uses an 8n prefetch architecture to achieve high speed operation. The 8n prefetch
architecture is combined with an interface designed to transfer two data words per clock cycle at the I/O pins. A single
read or write operation for the DDR3(L) SDRAM consists of a single 8n-bit wide, four clock data transfer at the internal
DRAM core and two corresponding n-bit wide, one-half clock cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.
Read and write operation to the DDR3(L) SDRAM are burst oriented, start at a selected location, and continue for a burst
length of eight or a ‘chopped’ burst of four in a programmed sequence. Operation begins with the registration of an Active
command, which is then followed by a Read or Write command. The address bits registered coincident with the Active
command are used to select the bank and row to be activated (BA0-BA2 select the bank; A0-A14 select the row). The
address bit registered coincident with the Read or Write command are used to select the starting column location for the
burst operation, determine if the auto precharge command is to be issued (via A10), and select BC4 or BL8 mode ‘on the
fly’ (via A12) if enabled in the mode register.
Prior to normal operation, the DDR3(L) SDRAM must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. The following
sections provide detailed information covering device reset and initialization, register definition, command descriptions
and device operation.
RESET and Initialization Procedure
Power-up Initialization sequence
The Following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization
1. Apply power ( is recommended to be maintained below 0.2 x VDD, all other inputs may be undefined).
needs to be maintained for minimum 200μs with stable power. CKE is pulled “Low” anytime before being
de-asserted (min. time 10ns). The power voltage ramp time between 300mV to VDDmin must be no greater than 200ms;
and during the ramp, VDD>VDDQ and (VDD-VDDQ) <0.3 Volts.
- VDD and VDDQ are driven from a single power converter output, AND
- The voltage levels on all pins other than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to VDDQ and VDD on one
side and must be larger than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side. In addition, VTT is limited to 0.95V max once
power ramp is finished, AND
- Vref tracks VDDQ/2.
OR
- Apply VDD without any slope reversal before or at the same time as VDDQ.
- Apply VDDQ without any slope reversal before or at the same time as VTT & Vref.
- The voltage levels on all pins other than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to VDDQ and VDD on one
side and must be larger than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side.
2. After is de-asserted, wait for another 500us until CKE become active. During this time, the DRAM will start
internal state initialization; this will be done independently of external clocks.
3. Clock (CK, ) need to be started and stabilized for at least 10ns or 5tCK (which is larger) before CKE goes active.
Since CKE is a synchronous signal, the corresponding set up time to clock (tIS) must be meeting. Also a NOP or
Deselect command must be registered (with tIS set up time to clock) before CKE goes active. Once the CKE registered
“High” after Reset, CKE needs to be continuously registered “High” until the initialization sequence is finished,
including expiration of tDLLK and tZQinit.

4. The DDR3(L) DRAM will keep its on-die termination in high impedance state as long as is asserted. Further,
the DRAM keeps its on-die termination in high impedance state after de-assertion until CKE is registered HIGH.
The ODT input signal may be in undefined state until tIS before CKE is registered HIGH. When CKE is registered
HIGH, the ODT input signal may be statically held at either LOW or HIGH. If RTT_NOM is to be enabled in MR1, the
ODT input signal must be statically held LOW. In all cases, the ODT input signal remains static until the power up
initialization sequence is finished, including the expiration of tDLLK and tZQinit.
5. After CKE being registered high, wait minimum of Reset CKE Exit time, tXPR, before issuing the first MRS command
to load mode register. [tXPR=max (tXS, 5tCK)]
6. Issue MRS command to load MR2 with all application settings. (To issue MRS command for MR2, provide “Low” to
BA0 and BA2, “High” to BA1)
7. Issue MRS command to load MR3 with all application settings. (To issue MRS command for MR3, provide “Low” to
BA2, “High” to BA0 and BA1)
8. Issue MRS command to load MR1 with all application settings and DLL enabled. (To issue “DLL Enable” command,
provide “Low” to A0, “High” to BA0 and “Low” to BA1 and BA2)
9. Issue MRS Command to load MR0 with all application settings and “DLL reset”. (To issue DLL reset command,
provide “High” to A8 and “Low” to BA0-BA2)
10. Issue ZQCL command to starting ZQ calibration.
11. Wait for both tDLLK and tZQinit completed.
12. The DDR3(L) SDRAM is now ready for normal operation.

Register Definition
Programming the Mode Registers
For application flexibility, various functions, features, and modes are programmable in four Mode Registers, provided by the
DDR3(L) SDRAM, as user defined variables and they must be programmed via a Mode Register Set (MRS) command. As
the default values of the Mode Registers () are not defined, contents of Mode Registers must be fully initialized and/or
re-initialized, i.e. written, after power up and/or reset for proper operation. Also the contents of the Mode Registers can be
altered by re-executing the MRS command during normal operation. When programming the mode registers, even if the
user chooses to modify only a sub-set of the MRS fields, all address fields within the accessed mode register must be
redefined when the MRS command is issued. MRS command and DLL Reset do not affect array contents, which mean
these commands can be executed any time after power-up without affecting the array contents.
The mode register set command cycle time, tMRD is required to complete the write operation to the mode register and is the
minimum time required between two MRS commands shown as below.

and CKE is high prior to writing into the mode register. The mode registers are divided into various fields depending on the
functionality and/or modes.

Burst Length, Type, and Order
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed to sequential or interleaved order. The burst type is selected via bit A3
as shown in the MR0 Definition as above figure. The ordering of access within a burst is determined by the burst length,
burst type, and the starting column address. The burst length is defined by bits A0-A1. Burst lengths options include fix BC4,
fixed BL8, and on the fly which allow BC4 or BL8 to be selected coincident with the registration of a Read or Write
command via A12/.

Note:
1. In case of burst length being fixed to 4 by MR0 setting, the internal write operation starts two clock cycles earlier
than the BL8 mode. This means that the starting point for tWR and tWTR will be pulled in by two clocks. In case of
burst length being selected on-the-fly via A12/, the internal write operation starts at the same point in time like a
burst of 8 write operation. This means that during on-the-fly control, the starting point for tWR and tWTR will not be
pulled in by two clocks.
2. 0~7 bit number is value of CA [2:0] that causes this bit to be the first read during a burst.
3. T: Output driver for data and strobes are in high impedance.
4. V: a valid logic level (0 or 1), but respective buffer input ignores level on input pins.
5. X: Do not Care.

CAS Latency
The CAS Latency is defined by MR0 (bit A9~A11) as shown in the MR0 Definition figure. CAS Latency is the delay, in clock
cycles, between the internal Read command and the availability of the first bit of output data. DDR3(L) SDRAM does not
support any half clock latencies. The overall Read Latency (RL) is defined as Additive Latency (AL) + CAS Latency (CL);
RL = AL + CL.
Test Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by MR0 (bit7=0) and all other bits set to the desired values shown in the MR0
definition figure. Programming bit A7 to a ‘1’ places the DDR3(L) SDRAM into a test mode that is only used by the DRAM
manufacturer and should not be used. No operations or functionality is guaranteed if A7=1.
DLL Reset
The DLL Reset bit is self-clearing, meaning it returns back to the value of ‘0’ after the DLL reset function has been issued.
Once the DLL is enabled, a subsequent DLL Reset should be applied. Anytime the DLL reset function is used, tDLLK must
be met before any functions that require the DLL can be used (i.e. Read commands or ODT synchronous operations.)
Write Recovery
The programmed WR value MR0(bits A9, A10, and A11) is used for the auto precharge feature along with tRP to determine
tDAL WR (write recovery for auto-precharge)min in clock cycles is calculated by dividing tWR(ns) by tCK(ns) and rounding
up to the next integer: WRmin[cycles] = Roundup(tWR[ns]/tCK[ns]). The WR must be programmed to be equal or larger
than tWR (min).
Precharge PD DLL
MR0 (bit A12) is used to select the DLL usage during precharge power-down mode. When MR0 (A12=0), or ‘slow-exit’, the
DLL is frozen after entering precharge power-down (for potential power savings) and upon exit requires tXPDLL to be met
prior to the next valid command. When MR0 (A12=1), or ‘fast-exit’, the DLL is maintained after entering precharge
power-down and upon exiting power-down requires tXP to be met prior to the next valid command.

DLL Enable/Disable
The DLL must be enabled for normal operation. DLL enable is required during power up initialization, and upon returning to
normal operation after having the DLL disabled. During normal operation (DLL-on) with MR1 (A0=0), the DLL is
automatically disabled when entering Self-Refresh operation and is automatically re-enable upon exit of Self-Refresh
operation. Any time the DLL is enabled and subsequently reset, tDLLK clock cycles must occur before a Read or
synchronous ODT command can be issued to allow time for the internal clock to be synchronized with the external clock.
Failing to wait for synchronization to occur may result in a violation of the tDQSCK, tAON, or tAOF parameters. During
tDLLK, CKE must continuously be registered high. DDR3(L) SDRAM does not require DLL for any Write operation, expect
when RTT_WR is enabled and the DLL is required for proper ODT operation. For more detailed information on DLL Disable
operation in DLL-off Mode.
The direct ODT feature is not supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must be disabled by continu-
ously registering the ODT pin low and/or by programming the RTT_Nom bits MR1{A9,A6,A2} to {0,0,0} via a mode register
set command during DLL-off mode.
The dynamic ODT feature is not supported at DLL-off mode. User must use MRS command to set Rtt_WR, MR2 {A10, A9}
= {0, 0}, to disable Dynamic ODT externally.
Output Driver Impedance Control
The output driver impedance of the DDR3(L) SDRAM device is selected by MR1 (bit A1 and A5) as shown in MR1 definition
figure.
ODT Rtt Values
DDR3(L) SDRAM is capable of providing two different termination values (Rtt_Nom and Rtt_WR). The nominal termination
value Rtt_Nom is programmable in MR1. A separate value (Rtt_WR) may be programmable in MR2 to enable a unique Rtt
value when ODT is enabled during writes. The Rtt_WR value can be applied during writes even when Rtt_Nom is disabled.
Additive Latency (AL)
Additive Latency (AL) operation is supported to make command and data bus efficient for sustainable bandwidth in DDR3(L)
SDRAM. In this operation, the DDR3(L) SDRAM allows a read or write command (either with or without auto-precharge) to
be issued immediately after the active command. The command is held for the time of the Additive Latency (AL) before it is
issued inside the device. The Read Latency (RL) is controlled by the sum of the AL and CAS Latency (CL) register settings.
Write Latency (WL) is controlled by the sum of the AL and CAS Write Latency (CWL) register settings. A summary of the AL
register options are shown as the following table.

Write leveling
For better signal integrity, DDR3(L) memory module adopted fly by topology for the commands, addresses, control signals,
and clocks. The fly by topology has benefits from reducing number of stubs and their length but in other aspect, causes
flight time skew between clock and strobe at every DRAM on DIMM. It makes difficult for the Controller to maintain tDQSS,
tDSS, and tDSH specification. Therefore, the controller should support ‘write leveling’ in DDR3(L) SDRAM to compensate
for skew.
Output Disable
The DDR3(L) SDRAM outputs maybe enable/disabled by MR1 (bit12) as shown in MR1 definition. When this feature is
enabled (A12=1) all output pins (DQs, DQS, , etc.) are disconnected from the device removing any loading of the
output drivers. This feature may be useful when measuring modules power for example. For normal operation A12 should
be set to ‘0’.
TDQS,
TDQS (Termination Data Strobe) is a feature of x8 DDR3(L) SDRAM that provides additional termination resistance outputs
that may be useful in some system configurations.
When enabled via the mode register, the same termination resistance function is applied to be TDQS/ pins that are
applied to the DQS/ pins.
In contrast to the RDQS function of DDR2 SDRAM, TDQS provides the termination resistance function only. The data
strobe function of RDQS is not provided by TDQS.
The TDQS and DM functions share the same pin. When the TDQS function is enabled via the mode register, the DM
function is not supported. When the TDQS function is disabled, the DM function is provided and the pin is not used.
The TDQS function is available in x8 DDR3(L) SDRAM only and must be disabled via the mode register A11=0 in MR1 for
x4 configurations.

CAS Write Latency (CWL)
The CAS Write Latency is defined by MR2 (bits A3-A5) shown in MR2. CAS Write Latency is the delay, in clock cycles,
between the internal Write command and the availability of the first bit of input data. DDR3(L) DRAM does not support any
half clock latencies. The overall Write Latency (WL) is defined as Additive Latency (AL) + CAS Write Latency (CWL);
WL=AL+CWL.
For more information on the supported CWL and AL settings based on the operating clock frequency, refer to “Standard
Speed Bins” on page110. For detailed Write operation refer to “WRITE Operation” on page39.
Auto Self-Refresh (ASR) and Self-Refresh Temperature (SRT)
DDR3(L) SDRAM must support Self-Refresh operation at all supported temperatures. Applications requiring Self-Refresh
operation in the Extended Temperature Range must use the ASR function or program the SRT bit appropriately.
Optional in DDR3(L) SDRAM: Users should refer to the DRAM supplier data sheet and/or the DIMM SPD to determine if
DDR3(L) SDRAM devices support the following options or requirements referred to in this material. For more details refer to
“Extended Temperature Usage” on page39. DDR3(L) SDRAMs must support Self-Refresh operation at all supported
temperatures. Applications requiring Self-Refresh operation in the Extended Temperature Range must use the optional
ASR function or program the SRT bit appropriately.
Dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR)
DDR3(L) SDRAM introduces a new feature “Dynamic ODT”. In certain application cases and to further enhance signal
integrity on the data bus, it is desirable that the termination strength of the DDR3(L) SDRAM can be changed without
issuing an MRS command. MR2 Register locations A9 and A10 configure the Dynamic ODT settings. In Write leveling
mode, only RTT_Nom is available. For details on Dynamic ODT operation, refer to “Dynamic ODT” on page67.

Multi-Purpose Register (MPR)
The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration bit sequence. To
enable the MPR, a Mode Register Set (MRS) command must be issued to MR3 register with bit A2=1. Prior to issuing the
MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all banks precharged and tRP met). Once the MPR is enabled, any
subsequent RD or RDA commands will be redirected to the Multi Purpose Register. When the MPR is enabled, only RD or
RDA commands are allowed until a subsequent MRS command is issued with the MPR disabled (MR3 bit A2=0). Power
down mode, Self-Refresh and any other non-RD/RDA command is not allowed during MPR enable mode. The RESET
function is supported during MPR enable mode.
The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration bit sequence.
MPR Block Diagram
To enable the MPR, a MODE Register Set (MRS) command must be issued to MR3 Register with bit A2 = 1, as following
Table 1. Prior to issuing the MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all banks precharged and tRP met). Once
the MPR is enabled, any subsequent RD or RDA commands will be redirected to the Multi Purpose Register. The resulting
operation, when a RD or RDA command is issued, is defined by MR3 bits A[1:0] when the MPR is enabled as shown on
page26. When the MPR is enabled, only RD or RDA commands are allowed until a subsequent MRS command is issued
with the MPR disabled (MR3 bit A2 = 0). Note that in MPR mode RDA has the same functionality as a READ command
which means the auto precharge part of RDA is ignored. Power-Down mode, Self-Refresh and any other non-RD/RDA
command is not allowed during MPR enable mode. The RESET function is supported during MPR enable mode.

DDR3(L) SDRAM Command Description and Operation
Command Truth Table (Conti.)
NOTE1. All DDR3(L) SDRAM commands are defined by states of , , , and CKE at the rising edge of the
clock. The MSB of BA, RA and CA are device density and configuration dependant.
NOTE2. is Low enable command which will be used only for asynchronous reset so must be maintained HIGH
during any function.
NOTE3. Bank addresses (BA) determine which bank is to be operated upon. For (E)MRS BA selects an (Extended) Mode
Register.
NOTE4. “V” means “H or L (but a defined logic level)” and “X” means either “defined or undefined (like floating) logic level”.
NOTE5. Burst reads or writes cannot be terminated or interrupted and Fixed/on-the-Fly BL will be defined by MRS.
NOTE6. The Power-Down Mode does not perform any refresh operation.
NOTE7. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self
Refresh.
NOTE8. Self Refresh Exit is asynchronous.
NOTE9. VREF (Both VrefDQ and VrefCA) must be maintained during Self Refresh operation.
NOTE10. The No Operation command should be used in cases when the DDR3(L) SDRAM is in an idle or wait state. The
purpose of the No Operation command (NOP) is to prevent the DDR3(L) SDRAM from registering any unwanted
commands between operations. A No Operation command will not terminate a pervious operation that is still
executing, such as a burst read or write cycle.
NOTE11. The Deselect command performs the same function as No Operation command.
NOTE12. Refer to the CKE Truth Table for more detail with CKE transition.

No Operation (NOP) Command
The No operation (NOP) command is used to instruct the selected DDR3(L) SDRAM to perform a NOP (low and ,
, and high). This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states. Operations
already in progress are not affected.
Deselect Command
The Deselect function (HIGH) prevents new commands from being executed by the DDR3(L) SDRAM. The DDR3(L)
SDRAM is effectively deselected. Operations already in progress are not affected.
DLL- Off Mode
DDR3(L) DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent operations until A0
bit set back to “0”. The MR1 A0 bit for DLL control can be switched either during initialization or later.
The DLL-off Mode operations listed below are an optional feature for DDR3(L). The maximum clock frequency for DLL-off
Mode is specified by the parameter tCKDLL_OFF. There is no minimum frequency limit besides the need to satisfy the
refresh interval, tREFI.
Due to latency counter and timing restrictions, only one value of CAS Latency (CL) in MR0 and CAS Write Latency (CWL)
in MR2 are supported. The DLL-off mode is only required to support setting of both CL=6 and CWL=6.
DLL-off mode will affect the Read data Clock to Data Strobe relationship (tDQSCK) but not the data Strobe to Data
relationship (tDQSQ, tQH). Special attention is needed to line up Read data to controller time domain.
Comparing with DLL-on mode, where tDQSCK starts from the rising clock edge (AL+CL) cycles after the Read command,
the DLL-off mode tDQSCK starts (AL+CL-1) cycles after the read command. Another difference is that tDQSCK may not be
small compared to tCK (it might even be larger than tCK) and the difference between tDQSCKmin and tDQSCKmax is
significantly larger than in DLL-on mode.
The timing relations on DLL-off mode READ operation have shown at the following Timing Diagram (CL=6, BL=8)

DLL on/off switching procedure
DDR3(L) DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent operation until A0 bit
set back to “0”.
DLL “on” to DLL “off” Procedure
To switch from DLL “on” to DLL “off” requires the frequency to be changed during Self-Refresh outlined in the following
procedure:
1. Starting from Idle state (all banks pre-charged, all timing fulfilled, and DRAMs On-die Termination resistors, RTT,
must be in high impedance state before MRS to MR1 to disable the DLL).
2. Set MR1 Bit A0 to “1” to disable the DLL.
3. Wait tMOD.
4. Enter Self Refresh Mode; wait until (tCKSRE) satisfied.
5. Change frequency, in guidance with “Input Clock Frequency Change” section.
6. Wait until a stable clock is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
7. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until all tMOD timings from
any MRS command are satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled in the mode registers when Self
Refresh mode was entered, the ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW until all tMOD timings from any
MRS command are satisfied. If both ODT features were disabled in the mode registers when Self Refresh mode was
entered, ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
8. Wait tXS, and then set Mode Registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL, and WR may be
necessary. A ZQCL command may also be issued after tXS).
9. Wait for tMOD, and then DRAM is ready for next command.

DLL “off” to DLL “on” Procedure
To switch from DLL “off” to DLL “on” (with requires frequency change) during Self-Refresh:
1. Starting from Idle state (all banks pre-charged, all timings fulfilled and DRAMs On-die Termination resistors (RTT) must
be in high impedance state before Self-Refresh mode is entered).
2. Enter Self Refresh Mode, wait until tCKSRE satisfied.
3. Change frequency, in guidance with “Input clock frequency change” section.
4. Wait until a stable is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
5. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until tDLLK timing from
subsequent DLL Reset command is satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled in the mode registers when
Self Refresh mode was entered. The ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW until tDLLK timings from
subsequent DLL Reset command is satisfied. If both ODT features are disabled in the mode registers when Self
Refresh mode was entered, ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
6. Wait tXS, then set MR1 Bit A0 to “0” to enable the DLL.
7. Wait tMRD, then set MR0 Bit A8 to “1” to start DLL Reset.
8. Wait tMRD, then set Mode registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL, and WR may be
necessary. After tMOD satisfied from any proceeding MRS command, a ZQCL command may also be issued during or
after tDLLK).
9. Wait for tMOD, then DRAM is ready for next command (remember to wait tDLLK after DLL Reset before applying
command requiring a locked DLL!). In addition, wait also for tZQoper in case a ZQCL command was issued.

Input Clock frequency change
Once the DDR3(L) SDRAM is initialized, the DDR3(L) SDRAM requires the clock to be “stable” during almost all states of
normal operation. This means once the clock frequency has been set and is to be in the “stable state”, the clock period is
not allowed to deviate except for what is allowed for by the clock jitter and SSC (spread spectrum clocking) specification.
The input clock frequency can be changed from one stable clock rate to another stable clock rate under two conditions: (1)
Self-Refresh mode and (2) Precharge Power-Down mode. Outside of these two modes, it is illegal to change the clock
frequency.
For the first condition, once the DDR3(L) SDRAM has been successfully placed in to Self-Refresh mode and tCKSRE has
been satisfied, the state of the clock becomes a don’t care. Once a don’t care, changing the clock frequency is permissible,
provided the new clock frequency is stable prior to tCKSRX. When entering and exiting Self-Refresh mode of the sole
purpose of changing the clock frequency. The DDR3(L) SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the
minimum and maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade.
The second condition is when the DDR3(L) SDRAM is in Precharge Power-Down mode (either fast exit mode or slow exit
mode). If the RTT_Nom feature was enabled in the mode register prior to entering Precharge power down mode, the ODT
signal must continuously be registered LOW ensuring RTT is in an off state. If the RTT_Nom feature was disabled in the
mode register prior to entering Precharge power down mode, RTT will remain in the off state. The ODT signal can be
registered either LOW or HIGH in this case. A minimum of tCKSRE must occur after CKE goes LOW before the clock
frequency may change. The DDR3(L) SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the minimum and
maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade. During the input clock frequency change, ODT and
CKE must be held at stable LOW levels. Once the input clock frequency is changed, stable new clocks must be provided to
the DRAM tCKSRX before precharge Power Down may be exited; after Precharge Power Down is exited and tXP has
expired, the DLL must be RESET via MRS. Depending on the new clock frequency additional MRS commands may need to
be issued to appropriately set the WR, CL, and CWL with CKE continuously registered high. During DLL re-lock period,
ODT must remain LOW and CKE must remain HIGH. After the DLL lock time, the DRAM is ready to operate with new clock
frequency.

Write Leveling
For better signal integrity, DDR3(L) memory adopted fly by topology for the commands, addresses, control signals, and
clocks. The fly by topology has benefits from reducing number of stubs and their length but in other aspect, causes flight
time skew between clock and strobe at every DRAM on DIMM. It makes it difficult for the Controller to maintain tDQSS,
tDSS, and tDSH specification. Therefore, the controller should support “write leveling” in DDR3(L) SDRAM to compensate
the skew.
The memory controller can use the “write leveling” feature and feedback from the DDR3(L) SDRAM to adjust the DQS -
to CK - relationship. The memory controller involved in the leveling must have adjustable delay setting on DQS -
to align the rising edge of DQS - with that of the clock at the DRAM pin. DRAM asynchronously feeds back CK -
, sampled with the rising edge of DQS - , through the DQ bus. The controller repeatedly delays DQS - until a
transition from 0 to 1 is detected. The DQS - delay established though this exercise would ensure tDQSS specification.
Besides tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specification also needs to be fulfilled. One way to achieve this is to combine the actual
tDQSS in the application with an appropriate duty cycle and jitter on the DQS- signals. Depending on the actual
tDQSS in the application, the actual values for tDQSL and tDQSH may have to be better than the absolute limits provided in
“AC Timing Parameters” section in order to satisfy tDSS and tDSH specification. A conceptual timing of this scheme is
show as below figure.

DQS/ driven by the controller during leveling mode must be determined by the DRAM based on ranks populated.
Similarly, the DQ bus driven by the DRAM must also be terminated at the controller.
One or more data bits should carry the leveling feedback to the controller across the DRAM configurations x8. Therefore, a
separate feedback mechanism should be able for each byte lane. The upper data bits should provide the feedback of the
upper diff_DQS (diff_UDQS) to clock relationship whereas the lower data bits would indicate the lower diff_DQS
(diff_LDQS) to clock relationship.

Leveling Mode with its output buffer enabled (MR1[bit7]=1 with MR1[bit12]=0) only RTT_Nom settings of RZQ/2, RZQ/4, and RZQ/6 are
allowed.
Procedure Description
Memory controller initiates Leveling mode of all DRAMs by setting bit 7 of MR1 to 1. With entering write leveling mode, the
DQ pins are in undefined driving mode. During write leveling mode, only NOP or Deselect commands are allowed. As well
as an MRS command to exit write leveling mode. Since the controller levels one rank at a time, the output of other rank
must be disabled by setting MR1 bit A12 to 1. Controller may assert ODT after tMOD, time at which DRAM is ready to
accept the ODT signal.
Controller may drive DQS low and high after a delay of tWLDQSEN, at which time DRAM has applied on-die
termination on these signals. After tDQSL and tWLMRD controller provides a single DQS, edge which is used by the
DRAM to sample CK – driven from controller. tWLMRD (max) timing is controller dependent.
DRAM samples CK - status with rising edge of DQS and provides feedback on all the DQ bits asynchronously after
tWLO timing. There is a DQ output uncertainty of tWLOE defined to allow mismatch on DQ bits; there are no read strobes
(DQS/DQS) needed for these DQs. Controller samples incoming DQ and decides to increment or decrement DQS –
delay setting and launches the next DQS/pulse after some time, which is controller dependent. Once a 0 to 1
transition is detected, the controller locks DQS – delay setting and write leveling is achieved for the device. The
following figure describes the timing diagram and parameters for the overall Write leveling procedure.

Note:
1. DRAM has the option to drive leveling feedback on a prime DQ or all DQs. If feedback is driven only on
one DQ, the remaining DQs must be driven low as shown in above Figure, and maintained at this state
through out the leveling procedure.
2. MRS: Load MR1 to enter write leveling mode
3. NOP: NOP or deselect
4. diff_DQS is the differential data strobe (DQS, ). Timing reference points are the zero crossings. DQS
is shown with solid line, is shown with dotted line.
6. DQS/ needs to fulfill minimum pulse width requirements tDQSH(min) and tDQSL(min) as defined for
regular Writes; the max pulse width is system dependent.
Write Leveling Mode Exit
The following sequence describes how Write Leveling Mode should be exited:
1. After the last rising strobe edge (see ~T0), stop driving the strobe signals (see ~Tc0). Note: From now on, DQ pins are in
undefined driving mode, and will remain undefined, until tMOD after the respective MR command (Te1).
2. Drive ODT pin low (tIS must be satisfied) and keep it low (see Tb0).
3. After the RTT is switched off, disable Write Level Mode via MRS command (see Tc2).
4. After tMOD is satisfied (Te1), any valid command may be registered. (MR commands may be issued after tMRD (Td1).

Extended Temperature Usage
Nanya’s DDR3(L) SDRAM supports the optional extended temperature range of 0°C to +95°C, TC. Thus, the SRT and ASR
options must be used at a minimum. The extended temperature range DRAM must be refreshed externally at 2X (double
refresh) anytime the case temperature is above +85°C (and does not exceed +95°C). The external refreshing requirement
is accomplished by reducing the refresh period from 64ms to 32ms. However, self refresh mode requires either ASR or
SRT to support the extended temperature. Thus either ASR or SRT must be enabled when TC is above +85°C or self
refresh cannot be used until the case temperature is at or below +85°C.
Table 14 summarizes the two extended temperature options and Table 15 summarizes how the two extended temperature
options relate to one another.

Auto Self-Refresh mode - ASR mode
DDR3(L) SDRAM provides an Auto-Refresh mode (ASR) for application ease. ASR mode is enabled by setting MR2 bit
A6=1 and MR2 bit A7=0. The DRAM will manage Self-Refresh entry in either the Normal or Extended Temperature Ranges.
In this mode, the DRAM will also manage Self-Refresh power consumption when the DRAM operating temperature
changes, lower at low temperatures and higher at high temperatures. If the ASR option is not supported by DRAM, MR2 bit
A6 must set to 0. If the ASR option is not enabled (MR2 bit A6=0), the SRT bit (MR2 bit A7) must be manually programmed
with the operating temperature range required during Self-Refresh operation. Support of the ASR option does not
automatically imply support of the Extended Temperature Range.
Self-Refresh Temperature Range - SRT
SRT applies to devices supporting Extended Temperature Range only. If ASR=0, the Self-Refresh Temperature (SRT)
Range bit must be programmed to guarantee proper self-refresh operation. If SRT=0, then the DRAM will set an
appropriate refresh rate for Self-Refresh operation in the Normal Temperature Range. If SRT=1, then the DRAM will set an
appropriate, potentially different, refresh rate to allow Self-Refresh operation in either the Normal or Extended Temperature
Ranges. The value of the SRT bit can effect self-refresh power consumption, please refer to IDD table for details.

ACTIVE Command
The ACTIVE command is used to open (or activate) a row in a particular bank for subsequent access. The value on the
BA0-BA2 inputs selects the bank, and the addresses provided on inputs A0-A14 selects the row. These rows remain active
(or open) for accesses until a precharge command is issued to that bank. A PRECHARGE command must be issued before
opening a different row in the same bank.
PRECHARGE Command
The PRECHARGE command is used to deactivate the open row in a particular bank or the open row in all banks. The
bank(s) will be available for a subsequent row activation a specified time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE command is issued,
except in the case of concurrent auto precharge, where a READ or WRITE command to a different bank is allowed as long
as it does not interrupt the data transfer in the current bank and does not violate any other timing parameters. Once a bank
has been precharged, it is in the idle state and must be activated prior to any READ or WRITE commands being issued to
that bank. A PRECHARGE command is allowed if there is no open row in that bank (idle bank) or if the previously open row
is already in the process of precharging. However, the precharge period will be determined by the last PRECHARGE
command issued to the bank.

Clock to Data Strobe Relationship
NOTES: 1. Within a burst, rising strobe edge is not necessarily fixed to be always at tDQSCK(min) or tDQSCK(max). Instead, rising strobe
edge can vary between tDQSCK(min) and tDQSCK(max).
2. The DQS, DQS# differential output high time is defined by tQSH and the DQS, DQS# differential output low time is defined by
tQSL.
3. Likewise, tLZ(DQS)min and tHZ(DQS)min are not tied to tDQSCKmin (early strobe case) and tLZ(DQS)max and tHZ(DQS)max
are not tied to tDQSCKmax (late strobe case).
4. The minimum pulse width of read preamble is defined by tRPRE(min).
5. The maximum read postamble is bound by tDQSCK(min) plus tQSH(min) on the left side and tHZDSQ(max) on the right side.

Write Operation
DDR3(L) Burst Operation
During a READ or WRITE command, DDR3(L) will support BC4 and BL8 on the fly using address A12 during the READ or
WRITE (Auto Precharge can be enabled or disabled).
A12=0, BC4 (BC4 = Burst Chop, tCCD=4)
A12=1, BL8
A12 is used only for burst length control, not as a column address.
WRITE Timing Violations
Motivation
Generally, if timing parameters are violated, a complete reset/initialization procedure has to be initiated to make sure the
DRAM works properly. However, it is desirable for certain minor violations that the DRAM is guaranteed not to “hang up”
and errors be limited to that particular operation.
For the following, it will be assumed that there are no timing violations with regard to the Write command itself (including
ODT, etc.) and that it does satisfy all timing requirements not mentioned below.
Data Setup and Hold Violations
Should the strobe timing requirements (tDS, tDH) be violated, for any of the strobe edges associated with a write burst, then
wrong data might be written to the memory location addressed with the offending WRITE command.
Subsequent reads from that location might result in unpredictable read data, however, the DRAM will work properly
otherwise.
Strobe to Strobe and Strobe to Clock Violations
Should the strobe timing requirements (tDQSH, tDQSL, tWPRE, tWPST) or the strobe to clock timing requirements (tDSS,
tDSH, tDQSS) be violated, for any of the strobe edges associated with a Write burst, then wrong data might be written to
the memory location addressed with the offending WRITE command. Subsequent reads from that location might result in
unpredictable read data, however the DRAM will work properly otherwise.
Write Timing Parameters
This drawing is for example only to enumerate the strobe edges that “belong” to a write burst. No actual timing violations
are shown here. For a valid burst all timing parameters for each edge of a burst need to be satisfied (not only for one edge -
as shown).

Refresh Command
The Refresh command (REF) is used during normal operation of the DDR3(L) SDRAMs. This command is not persistent,
so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The DDR3(L) SDRAM requires Refresh cycles at an average periodic
interval of tREFI. When , , and are held Low and High at the rising edge of the clock, the chip enters a
Refresh cycle. All banks of the SDRAM must be precharged and idle for a minimum of the precharge time tRP(min) before
the Refresh Command can be applied. The refresh addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This makes
the address bits “Don’t Care” during a Refresh command. An internal address counter suppliers the address during the
refresh cycle. No control of the external address bus is required once this cycle has started. When the refresh cycle has
completed, all banks of the SDRAM will be in the precharged (idle) state. A delay between the Refresh Command and the
next valid command, except NOP or DES, must be greater than or equal to the minimum Refresh cycle time tRFC(min) as
shown in the following figure.
In general, a Refresh command needs to be issued to the DDR3(L) SDRAM regularly every tREFI interval. To allow for
improved efficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexibility in the absolute refresh interval is provided.
A maximum of 8 Refresh commands can be postponed during operation of the DDR3(L) SDRAM, meaning that at no point
in time more than a total of 8 Refresh commands are allowed to be postponed. In case that 8 Refresh commands are
postponed in a row, the resulting maximum interval between the surrounding Refresh commands is limited to 9 x tREFI. A
maximum of 8 additional Refresh commands can be issued in advance (“pulled in”), with each one reducing the number of
regular Refresh commands required later by one. Note that pulling in more than 8 Refresh commands in advance does not
further reduce the number of regular Refresh commands required later, so that the resulting maximum interval between two
surrounding Refresh command is limited to 9 x tREFI. Before entering Self-Refresh Mode, all postponed Refresh
commands must be executed.

Pulled-in Refresh Commands (Example)
Self-Refresh Operation
The Self-Refresh command can be used to retain data in the DDR3(L) SDRAM, even if the reset of the system is powered
down. When in the Self-Refresh mode, the DDR3(L) SDRAM retains data without external clocking. The DDR3(L) SDRAM
device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self-Refresh operation. The Self-Refresh Entry (SRE) Command is defined by
having , , , and held low with WE high at the rising edge of the clock.
Before issuing the Self-Refreshing-Entry command, the DDR3(L) SDRAM must be idle with all bank precharge state with
tRP satisfied. Also, on-die termination must be turned off before issuing Self-Refresh-Entry command, by either registering
ODT pin low “ODTL + 0.5tCK” prior to the Self-Refresh Entry command or using MRS to MR1 command. Once the
Self-Refresh Entry command is registered, CKE must be held low to keep the device in Self-Refresh mode. During normal
operation (DLL on), MR1 (A0=0), the DLL is automatically disabled upon entering Self-Refresh and is automatically
enabled (including a DLL-RESET) upon exiting Self-Refresh.
When the DDR3(L) SDRAM has entered Self-Refresh mode, all of the external control signals, except CKE and , are
“don’t care”. For proper Self-Refresh operation, all power supply and reference pins (VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ, VRefCA,
and VRefDQ) must be at valid levels. The DRAM initiates a minimum of one Refresh command internally within tCKE
period once it enters Self-Refresh mode.
The clock is internally disabled during Self-Refresh operation to save power. The minimum time that the DDR3(L) SDRAM
must remain in Self-Refresh mode is tCKE. The user may change the external clock frequency or halt the external clock
tCKSRE after Self-Refresh entry is registered; however, the clock must be restarted and stable tCKSRX before the device
can exit Self-Refresh mode.
The procedure for exiting Self-Refresh requires a sequence of events. First, the clock must be stable prior to CKE going
back HIGH. Once a Self-Refresh Exit Command (SRX, combination of CKE going high and either NOP or Deselect on
command bus) is registered, a delay of at least tXS must be satisfied before a valid command not requiring a locked DLL
can be issued to the device to allow for any internal refresh in progress. Before a command which requires a locked DLL
can be applied, a delay of at least tXSDLL and applicable ZQCAL function requirements [TBD] must be satisfied.
Before a command that requires a locked DLL can be applied, a delay of at least tXSDLL must be satisfied. Depending on
the system environment and the amount of time spent in Self-Refresh, ZQ calibration commands may be required to

compensate for the voltage and temperature drift as described in “ZQ Calibration Commands”. To issue ZQ calibration
commands, applicable timing requirements must be satisfied.
CKE must remain HIGH for the entire Self-Refresh exit period tXSDLL for proper operation except for Self-Refresh re-entry.
Upon exit from Self-Refresh, the DDR3(L) SDRAM can be put back into Self-Refresh mode after waiting at least tXS period
and issuing one refresh command (refresh period of tRFC). NOP or deselect commands must be registered on each
positive clock edge during the Self-Refresh exit interval tXS. ODT must be turned off during tXSDLL.
The use of Self-Refresh mode instructs the possibility that an internally times refresh event can be missed when CKE is
raised for exit from Self-Refresh mode. Upon exit from Self-Refresh, the DDR3(L) SDRAM requires a minimum of one extra
refresh command before it is put back into Self-Refresh mode.

Power-Down Modes
Power-Down Entry and Exit
Power-Down is synchronously entered when CKE is registered low (along with NOP or Deselect command). CKE is not
allowed to go low while mode register set command, MPR operations, ZQCAL operations, DLL locking or read/write
operation are in progress. CKE is allowed to go low while any of other operation such as row activation, precharge or auto
precharge and refresh are in progress, but power-down IDD spec will not be applied until finishing those operation.
The DLL should be in a locked state when power-down is entered for fastest power-down exit timing. If the DLL is not
locked during power-down entry, the DLL must be reset after exiting power-down mode for proper read operation and
synchronous ODT operation. DRAM design provides all AC and DC timing and voltage specification as well proper DLL
operation with any CKE intensive operations as long as DRAM controller complies with DRAM specifications.
During Power-Down, if all banks are closed after any in progress commands are completed, the device will be in precharge
Power-Down mode; if any bank is open after in progress commands are completed, the device will be in active
Power-Down mode.
Entering Power-down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK, ODT, , and . To protect
DRAM internal delay on CKE line to block the input signals, multiple NOP or Deselect commands are needed during the
CKE switch off and cycle(s) after, this timing period are defined as tCPDED. CKE_low will result in deactivation of
command and address receivers after tCPDED has expired.

signals are “Don’t care” (If goes low during Power-Down, the DRAM will be out of PD mode and into reset state).

On-Die Termination (ODT)
ODT (On-Die Termination) is a feature of the DDR3(L) SDRAM that allows the DRAM to turn on/off termination resistance
for each DQ, DQS, , and DM for x8 configuration and TDQS, for x8 configuration, when enabled via A11=1 in
MR1) via the ODT control pin. The ODT feature is designed to improve signal integrity of the memory channel by allowing
the DRAM controller to independently turn on/off termination resistance for any or all DRAM devices.
The ODT feature is turned off and not supported in Self-Refresh mode.
A simple functional representation of the DRAM ODT feature is shown as below.
Functional Representation of ODT
The switch is enabled by the internal ODT control logic, which uses the external ODT pin and other control information. The
value of RTT is determined by the settings of Mode Register bits. The ODT pin will be ignored if the Mode Register MR1
and MR2 are programmed to disable ODT and in self-refresh mode.
ODT Mode Register and ODT Truth Table
The ODT Mode is enabled if either of MR1 {A2, A6, A9} or MR2 {A9, A10} are non-zero. In this case, the value of RTT is
determined by the settings of those bits.
Application: Controller sends WR command together with ODT asserted.
One possible application: The rank that is being written to provides termination.
DRAM turns ON termination if it sees ODT asserted (except ODT is disabled by MR)
DRAM does not use any write or read command decode information.

Synchronous ODT Mode
Synchronous ODT mode is selected whenever the DLL is turned on and locked. Based on the power-down definition, these
modes are:
Any bank active with CKE high
Refresh with CKE high
Idle mode with CKE high
Active power down mode (regardless of MR0 bit A12)
Precharge power down mode if DLL is enabled during precharge power down by MR0 bit A12
The direct ODT feature is not supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must be disabled by continu-
ously registering the ODT pin low and/or by programming the RTT_Nom bits MR1{A9,A6,A2} to {0,0,0} via a mode register
set command during DLL-off mode.
In synchronous ODT mode, RTT will be turned on ODTLon clock cycles after ODT is sampled high by a rising clock edge
and turned off ODTLoff clock cycles after ODT is registered low by a rising clock edge. The ODT latency is tied to the write
latency (WL) by: ODTLonn = WL - 2; ODTLoff = WL-2.
ODT Latency and Posted ODT
In synchronous ODT Mode, the Additive Latency (AL) programmed into the Mode Register (MR1) also applies to the ODT
signal. The DRAM internal ODT signal is delayed for a number of clock cycles defined by the Additive Latency (AL) relative
to the external ODT signal. ODTLon = CWL + AL - 2; ODTLoff = CWL + AL - 2. For details, refer to DDR3(L) SDRAM
latency definitions.

Timing Parameters
In synchronous ODT mode, the following timing parameters apply: ODTLon, ODTLoff, tAON min/max, tAOF min/max.
Minimum RTT turn-on time (tAON min) is the point in time when the device leaves high impedance and ODT resistance
begins to turn on. Maximum RTT turn-on time (tAON max) is the point in time when the ODT resistance is fully on. Both are
measured from ODTLon.
Minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOF min) is the point in time when the device starts to turn off the ODT resistance. Maximum
RTT turn off time (tAOF max) is the point in time when the on-die termination has reached high impedance. Both are
measured from ODTLoff.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain high until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a Write command is registered by the SDRAM with
ODT high, then ODT must remain high until ODTH4 (BL=4) or ODTH8 (BL=8) after the write command. ODTH4 and
ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered high to ODT registered low or from the registration of a write command until
ODT is registered low.
Synchronous ODT Timing Example for AL=3; CWL=5; ODTLon=AL+CWL-2=6;
ODTLoff=AL+CWL-2=6
Synchronous ODT example with BL=4, WL=7
ODT must be held for at least ODTH4 after assertion (T1); ODT must be kept high ODTH4 (BL=4) or ODTH8
(BL=8) after Write command (T7). ODTH is measured from ODT first registered high to ODT first registered
low, or from registration of Write command with ODT high to ODT registered low. Note that although ODTH4 is
satisfied from ODT registered at T6 ODT must not go low before T11 as ODTH4 must also be satisfied from
the registration of the Write command at T7.

ODT during Reads:
As the DDR3(L) SDRAM cannot terminate and drive at the same time, RTT must be disabled at least half a clock cycle
before the read preamble by driving the ODT pin low appropriately. RTT may not be enabled until the end of the post-amble
as shown in the following figure. DRAM turns on the termination when it stops driving which is determined by tHZ. If DRAM
stops driving early (i.e. tHZ is early), then tAONmin time may apply. If DRAM stops driving late (i.e. tHZ is late), then DRAM
complies with tAONmax timing. Note that ODT may be disabled earlier before the Read and enabled later after the Read
than shown in this example.
ODT must be disabled externally during Reads by driving ODT low. (Example: CL=6;
AL=CL-1=5; RL=AL+CL=11; CWL=5; ODTLon=CWL+AL-2=8; ODTLoff=CWL+AL-2=8)
Dynamic ODT
In certain application cases and to further enhance signal integrity on the data bus, it is desirable that the termination
strength of the DDR3(L) SDRAM can be changed without issuing an MRS command. This requirement is supported by the
“Dynamic ODT” feature as described as follows:
Functional Description
The Dynamic ODT Mode is enabled if bit (A9) or (A10) of MR2 is set to ‘1’. The function is described as follows:
Two RTT values are available: RTT_Nom and RTT_WR.
The value for RTT_Nom is preselected via bits A[9,6,2] in MR1.
The value for RTT_WR is preselected via bits A[10,9] in MR2.
During operation without write commands, the termination is controlled as follows:
Nominal termination strength RTT_Nom is selected.
Termination on/off timing is controlled via ODT pin and latencies ODTLon and ODTLoff.
When a Write command (WR, WRA, WRS4, WRS8, WRAS4, WRAS8) is registered, and if Dynamic ODT is enabled, the
termination is controlled as follows:
A latency ODTLcnw after the write command, termination strength RTT_WR is selected.
A latency ODTLcwn8 (for BL8, fixed by MRS or selected OTF) or ODTLcwn4 (for BC4, fixed by MRS or selected OTF)
after the write command, termination strength RTT_Nom is selected.

Termination on/off timing is controlled via ODT pin and ODTLon, ODTLoff.
The following table shows latencies and timing parameters which are relevant for the on-die termination control in Dynamic
ODT mode.
The dynamic ODT feature is not supported at DLL-off mode. User must use MRS command to set RTT_WR, MR2[A10,A9
= [0,0], to disable Dynamic ODT externally.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain high until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a Write command is registered by the SDRAM with
ODT high, then ODT must remain high until ODTH4 (BL=4) or ODTH8 (BL=8) after the Write command. ODTH4 and
ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered high to ODT registered low or from the registration of Write command until ODT
is register low.

Asynchronous ODT Mode
Asynchronous ODT mode is selected when DRAM runs in DLLon mode, but DLL is temporarily disabled (i.e. frozen) in
precharge power-down (by MR0 bit A12). Based on the power down mode definitions, this is currently Precharge power
down mode if DLL is disabled during precharge power down by MR0 bit A12.
In asynchronous ODT timing mode, internal ODT command is NOT delayed by Additive Latency (AL) relative to the
external ODT command.
In asynchronous ODT mode, the following timing parameters apply: tAONPD min/max, tAOFPD min/max.
Minimum RTT turn-on time (tAONPD min) is the point in time when the device termination circuit leaves high impedance state
and ODT resistance begins to turn on. Maximum RTT turn on time (tAONPD max) is the point in time when the ODT
resistance is fully on.
tAONPDmin and tAONPDmax are measured from ODT being sampled high.
Minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOFPDmin) is the point in time when the devices termination circuit starts to turn off the ODT
resistance. Maximum ODT turn off time (tAOFPDmax) is the point in time when the on-die termination has reached high
impedance. tAOFPDmin and tAOFPDmax are measured from ODT being sample low.
Asynchronous ODT Timings on DDR3(L) SDRAM with fast ODT transition: AL is
ignored.
In Precharge Power Down, ODT receiver remains active; however no Read or Write command can be issued, as the
respective ADD/CMD receivers may be disabled.

Synchronous to Asynchronous ODT Mode Transition during Power-Down Entry
If DLL is selected to be frozen in Precharge Power Down Mode by the setting of bit A12 in MR0 to “0”, there is a transition
period around power down entry, where the DDR3(L) SDRAM may show either synchronous or asynchronous ODT
behavior.
The transition period is defined by the parameters tANPD and tCPDED(min). tANPD is equal to (WL-1) and is counted
backwards in time from the clock cycle where CKE is first registered low. tCPDED(min) starts with the clock cycle where
CKE is first registered low. The transition period begins with the starting point of tANPD and terminates at the end point of
tCPDED(min). If there is a Refresh command in progress while CKE goes low, then the transition period ends at the later
one of tRFC(min) after the Refresh command and the end point of tCPDED(min). Please note that the actual starting point
at tANPD is excluded from the transition period, and the actual end point at tCPDED(min) and tRFC(min, respectively, are
included in the transition period.
ODT assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT changes as early as the smaller of tAONPDmin and
(ODTLon*tck+tAONmin) and as late as the larger of tAONPDmax and (ODTLon*tCK+tAONmax). ODT de-assertion during
the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAOFPDmin and (ODTLoff*tCK+tAOFmin) and
as late as the larger of tAOFPDmax and (ODTLoff*tCK+tAOFmax). Note that, if AL has a large value, the range where RTT
is uncertain becomes quite large. The following figure shows the three different cases: ODT_A, synchronous behavior
before tANPD; ODT_B has a state change during the transition period; ODT_C shows a state change after the transition
period.

Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode transition during Power-Down Exit
If DLL is selected to be frozen in Precharge Power Down Mode by the setting of bit A12 in MR0 to “0”, there is also a
transition period around power down exit, where either synchronous or asynchronous response to a change in ODT must
be expected from the DDR3(L) SDRAM.
This transition period starts tANPD before CKE is first registered high, and ends tXPDLL after CKE is first registered high.
tANPD is equal to (WL -1) and is counted (backwards) from the clock cycle where CKE is first registered high.
ODT assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAONPDmin and (ODT-
Lon*tCK+tAONmin) and as late as the larger of tAONPDmax and (ODTLon*tCK+tAONmax). ODT de-assertion during the tran-
sition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAOFPDmin and (ODTLoff*tCK+tAOFmin) and as late as
the larger of tAOFPDmax and (ODToff*tCK+tAOFmax). Note that if AL has a large value, the range where RTT is uncertain
becomes quite large. The following figure shows the three different cases: ODT_C, asynchronous response before tANPD;
ODT_B has a state change of ODT during the transition period; ODT_A shows a state change of ODT after the transition
period with synchronous response.

synchronous or asynchronous from the state of the PD entry transition period to the end of the PD exit transition period
(even if the entry ends later than the exit period).

ZQ Calibration Commands
ZQ Calibration Description
ZQ Calibration command is used to calibrate DRAM Ron and ODT values. DDR3(L) SDRAM needs longer time to calibrate
output driver and on-die termination circuits at initialization and relatively smaller time to perform periodic calibrations.
ZQCL command is used to perform the initial calibration during power-up initialization sequence. This command may be
issued at any time by the controller depending on the system environment. ZQCL command triggers the calibration engine
inside the DRAM and once calibration is achieved the calibrated values are transferred from calibration engine to DRAM IO
which gets reflected as updated output driver and on-die termination values.
The first ZQCL command issued after reset is allowed a timing period of tZQinit to perform the full calibration and the
transfer of values. All other ZQCL commands except the first ZQCL command issued after RESET is allowed a timing
period of tZQoper.
ZQCS command is used to perform periodic calibrations to account for voltage and temperature variations. A shorter timing
window is provided to perform the calibration and transfer of values as defined by timing parameter tZQCS.
No other activities should be performed on the DRAM channel by the controller for the duration of tZQinit, tZQoper, or
tZQCS. The quiet time on the DRAM channel allows calibration of output driver and on-die termination values. Once DRAM
calibration is achieved, the DRAM should disable ZQ current consumption path to reduce power.
All banks must be precharged and tRP met before ZQCL or ZQCS commands are issued by the controller.
ZQ calibration commands can also be issued in parallel to DLL lock time when coming out of self refresh. Upon self-refresh
exit, DDR3(L) SDRAM will not perform an IO calibration without an explicit ZQ calibration command. The earliest possible
time for ZQ Calibration command (short or long) after self refresh exit is tXS.
In systems that share the ZQ resistor between devices, the controller must not allow any overlap of tZQoper, tZQinit, or
tZQCS between ranks.

ZQ Calibration Timing
Note:
1. CKE must be continuously registered high during the calibration procedure.
2. On-die termination must be disabled via the ODT signal or MRS during the calibration procedure.
3. All devices connected to the DQ bus should be high impedance during the calibration procedure.
ZQ External Resistor Value, Tolerance, and Capacitive loading
In order to use the ZQ calibration function, a 240 ohm +/- 1% tolerance external resistor connected between the ZQ pin and
ground. The single resistor can be used for each SDRAM or one resistor can be shared between two SDRAMs if the ZQ
calibration timings for each SDRAM do not overlap. The total capacitive loading on the ZQ pin must be limited.

possible to specify a component with 1x refresh (tREFI to 7.8us) in the Extended Temperature Range.
b) If Self-Refresh operation is required in the Extended Temperature Range, then it is mandatory to either use the
Manual Self-Refresh mode with Extended Temperature Range capability (MR2 A6=0 and MR2 A7=1) or enable the
optional Auto Self-Refresh mode (MR2 A6=1 and MR2 A7=0).
4. During Industrial Temperature Operation Range, the DRAM case temperature must be maintained between
-40°C~95°C under all operating Conditions.

Vref Tolerances
The dc-tolerance limits and ac-moist limits for the reference voltages VrefCA and VrefDQ are illustrated in the following figure. It
shows a valid reference voltage Vref(t) as a function of time. (Vref stands for VrefCA and VrefDQ likewise).
Vref(DC) is the linear average of Vref(t) over a very long period of time (e.g.,1 sec). This average has to meet the min/max
requirement in previous page. Furthermore Vref(t) may temporarily deviate from Vref(DC) by no more than ±1% VDD.
The voltage levels for setup and hold time measurements VIH(AC), VIH(DC), VIL(AC), and VIL(DC) are dependent on Vref.
“Vref” shall be understood as Vref(DC).
The clarifies that dc-variations of Vref affect the absolute voltage a signal has to reach to achieve a valid high or low level
and therefore the time to which setup and hold is measured. System timing and voltage budgets need to account for
Vref(DC) deviations from the optimum position within the data-eye of the input signals.
This also clarifies that the DRAM setup/hold specification and de-rating values need to include time and voltage associated
with Vref ac-noise. Timing and voltage effects due to ac-noise on Vref up to the specified limit (±1% of VDD) are included in
DRAM timing and their associated de-ratings.

Single-ended requirements for differential signals
Each individual component of a differential signal (CK, DQS, DQSL, DQSU,, ,, or ) has also to comply
with certain requirements for single-ended signals.
CK and have to approximately reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately equal to the ac-levels (VIH (ac) / VIL (ac)) for
ADD/CMD signals) in every half-cycle. DQS, DQSL, DQSU, , have to reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approxi-
mately the ac-levels (VIH (ac) / VIL (ac)) for DQ signals) in every half-cycle proceeding and following a valid transition.
Note that the applicable ac-levels for ADD/CMD and DQ’s might be different per speed-bin etc. E.g., if VIH150
(ac)/VIL150(ac) is used for ADD/CMD signals, then these ac-levels apply also for the singleended signals CK and

of the device as well as output slew rate measurements.
It is not intended as a precise representation of any particular system environment or a depiction of the actual load
presented by a production tester. System designers should use IBIS or other simulation tools to correlate the timing
reference load to a system environment. Manufacturers correlate to their production test conditions, generally one or more

34 Ohm Output Driver DC Electrical Characteristics
A Functional representation of the output buffer is shown as below. Output driver impedance RON is defined by the value of
the external reference resistor RZQ as follows:
RON34 = RZQ / 7 (nominal 34.4ohms +/-10% with nominal RZQ=240ohms)
The individual pull-up and pull-down resistors (RONPu and RONPd) are defined as follows:
RONPu = [VDDQ-Vout] / l Iout l ------------------- under the condition that RONPd is turned off (1)
RONPd = Vout / I Iout I -------------------------------under the condition that RONPu is turned off (2)

On-Die Termination (ODT) Levels and I-V Characteristics
On-Die Termination effective resistance RTT is defined by bits A9, A6, and A2 of the MR1 Register.
ODT is applied to the DQ, DM, DQS/, and TDQS/ (x8 devices only) pins.
A functional representation of the on-die termination is shown in the following figure. The individual pull-up and pull-down
resistors (RTTPu and RTTPd) are defined as follows:
RTTPu = [VDDQ - Vout] / I Iout I ------------------ under the condition that RTTPd is turned off (3)
RTTPd = Vout / I Iout I ------------------------------ under the condition that RTTPu is turned off (4)

If not otherwise mentioned the inputs are stable at HIGH or LOW during 4 clocks and change
then to the opposite value
(e.g. Ax Ax Ax Ax Ax Ax Ax Ax…
Please see each IDDx definition for details
Bank Address
If not otherwise mentioned the bank addresses should be switched like the row/column address -
please see each IDDx for details
Command
(,,,)
Define D = {,,,} := {HIGH, LOW, LOW, LOW}
Define D = {, ,, } := {HIGH, HIGH, HIGH, HIGH}
Define Command Background Pattern = D DD DD D....
If other commands are necessary (e.g. ACT for IDD0 or Read for IDD4R), the Background
Pattern Command is substituted by the respective ,,, levels of the necessary
command. See each IDDx definition for details.

Jitter Notes
Specific Note a
Unit “tCK(avg)” represents the actual tCK(avg) of the input clock under operation. Unit “nCK” represents one clock cycle
of the input clock, counting the actual clock edges. ex) tMRD=4 [nCK] means; if one Mode Register Set command is
registered at Tm, anther Mode Register Set command may be registered at Tm+4, even if (Tm+4-Tm) is 4 x tCK(avg) +
tERR(4per), min.
Specific Note b
These parameters are measured from a command/address signal (CKE, , , , , ODT, BA0, A0, A1, etc)
transition edge to its respective clock signal (CK/) crossing. The spec values are not affected by the amount of clock
jitter applied (i.e. tJIT(per), tJIT(cc), etc.), as the setup and hold are relative to the clock signal crossing that latches the
command/address. That is, these parameters should be met whether clock jitter is present or not.
Specific Note c
These parameters are measured from a data strobe signal (DQS(L/U), )) crossing to its respective clock signal
(CK, ) crossing. The spec values are not affected by the amount of clock jitter applied (i.e. tJIT(per), tJIT(cc), etc), as
these are relative to the clock signal crossing. That is, these parameters should be met whether clock jitter is present or
not.
Specific Note d
These parameters are measured from a data signal (DM(L/U), DQ(L/U)0, DQ(L/U)1, etc.) transition edge to its respective
data strobe signal (DQS(L/U), ) crossing.
Specific Note e
For these parameters, the DDR3(L) SDRAM device supports tnPARAM [nCK] = RU{tPARAM[ns] / tCK(avg)[ns]}, which is
in clock cycles, assuming all input clock jitter specifications are satisfied. For example, the device will support tnRP =
RU{tRP/tCK(avg)}, which is in clock cycles, if all input clock jitter specifications are met. This means: For DDR3-1066
7-7-7, of which tRP = 13.125ns, the device will support tnRP = RU{tRP/tCK(avg)} = 7, as long as the input clock jitter
specifications are met, i.e. Precharge command at Tm and Active command at Tm+7 is valid even if (Tm+7-Tm) is less
than 13.125ns due to input clock jitter.
Specific Note f
When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated by the actual tERR(mper), act of
the input clock, where 2 <= m <=12. (Output derating is relative to the SDRAM input clock.)
Specific Note g
When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated by the actual tJIT(per),act of the
input clock. (Output deratings are relative to the SDRAM input clock.)

Timing Parameter Notes
1. Actual value dependent upon measurement level definitions which are TBD.
2. Commands requiring a locked DLL are: READ ( and RAP) are synchronous ODT commands.
3. The max values are system dependent.
4. WR as programmed in mode register.
5. Value must be rouned-up to next higher integer value.
6. There is no maximum cycle time limit besides the need to satisfy the refresh interval, tREFI.
7. For definition of RTT-on time tAON See “Timing Parameters”.
8. For definition of RTT-off time tAOF See “Timing Parameters”.
9. tWR is defined in ns, for calculation of tWRPDEN it is necessary to round up tWR / tCK to the next integer.
10. WR in clock cycles are programmed in MR0.
11. The maximum read postamble is bounded by tDQSCK(min) plus tQSH(min) on the left side and tHZ(DQS)max on the
right side.
12. Output timing deratings are relative to the SDRAM input clock. When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this
parameter needs to be derated by TBD.
13. Value is only valid for RON34.
14. Single ended signal parameter.
15. tREFI depends on TOPER.
16. tIS(base) and tIH(base) values are for 1V/ns CMD/ADD single-ended slew rate and 2V/ns CK, CK differential slew
rate. Note for DQ and DM signals, VREF(DC)=VRefDQ(DC). For input only pins except RESET,
VRef(DC)=VRefCA(DC).
17. tDS(base) and tDH(base) values are for 1V/ns DQ single-ended slew rate and 2V/ns DQS, DQS differential slew rate.
Note for DQ and DM signals, VREF(DC)=VRefDQ(DC). For input only pins except RESET, VRef(DC)=VRefCA(DC).
18. Start of internal write transaction is defined as follows:
For BL8 (fixed by MRS and on-the-fly): Rising clock edge 4 clock cycles after WL.
For BC4 (on-the-fly): Rising clock edge 4 clock cycles after WL.
For BC4 (fixed by MRS): Rising clock edge 2 clock cycles after WL.
19. The maximum preamble is bound by tLZ (DQS) max on the left side and tDQSCK(max) on the right side.
20. CKE is allowed to be registered low while operations such as row activation, precharge, autoprecharge or refresh are
in progress, but power-down IDD spec will not be applied until finishing those operations.
21. Although CKE is allowed to be registered LOW after a REFRESH command once tREFPDEN (min) is satisfied, there
are cases where additional time such as tXPDLL (min) is also required.
22. Defined between end of MPR read burst and MRS which reloads MPR or disables MPR function.
23. One ZQCS command can effectively correct a minimum of 0.5% (ZQCorrection) of RON and RTT impedance error
within 64 nCK for all speed bins assuming the maximum sensitivities specified in the “Output Driver Voltage and
Temperature Sensitivity” and “ODT Voltage and Temperature Sensitivity” tables. The appropriate interval between
ZQCS commands can be determined from these tables and other application-specific parameters.
One method for calculating the interval between ZQCS commands, given the temperature (Tdriftrate) and voltage
(Vdriftrate) drift rates that the SDRAM is subject to in the application, is illustrated. the interval could be defined by the
following formula: ZQCorrection / [(TSens x Tdriftrate) + (VSens x Vdriftrate)] where TSens = max(dRTTdT,
dRONdTM) and VSens = max(dRTTdV, dRONdVM) define the SDRAM temperature and voltage sensitivities.
For example, if TSens = 1.5%/C, VSens = 0.15%/mV, Tdriftrate = 1 C/sec and Vdriftrate = 15mV/sec, then the interval
between ZQCS commands is calculated as 0.5 / [(1.5x1)+(0.15x15)] = 0.133 ~ 128ms
24. n = from 13 cycles to 50 cycles. This row defines 38 parameters.
25. tCH(abs) is the absolute instantaneous clock high pulse width, as measured from one rising edge to the following
falling edge.
26. tCL(abs) is the absolute instantaneous clock low pulse width, as measured from one falling edge to the following rising
edge.
27. The tIS(base) AC150 specifications are adjusted from the tIS(base) specification by adding an additional 100ps of
derating to accommodate for the lower altemate threshold of 150mV and another 25ps to account for the earlier
reference point [(175mV - 150mV) / 1V/ns].

Address / Command Setup, Hold, and Derating
For all input signals the total tIS (setup time) and tIH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the data sheet tIS(base)
and tIH(base) and tIH(base) value to the delta tIS and delta tIH derating value respectively.
Example: tIS (total setup time) = tIS(base) + delta tIS
Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of Vref(dc) and the first
crossing of VIH(ac)min. Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of Vref(dc) and the first crossing of VIL(ac)max. If the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal slew rate line
between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is later than the
nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, the slew rate of the tangent line to the actual signal
from the ac level to dc level is used for derating value.
Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIL(dc)max and the
first crossing of Vref(dc). Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of VIH(dc)min and the first crossing of Vref(dc). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew rate line
between shaded ‘dc to Vref(dc) region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is earlier than the
nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘dc to Vref(dc) region’, the slew rate of a tangent line to the actual signal
from the dc level to Vref(dc) level is used for derating value. For a valid transition the input signal has to remain
above/below VIH/IL(ac) for some time tVAC. Although for slow slew rates the total setup time might be negative (i.e. a valid
input signal will not have reached VIH/IL(ac) at the time of the rising clock transition) a valid input signal is still required to
complete the transition and reach VIH/IL(ac).

lower alternate threshold of 150mV (135Mv) and another 25ps to account for the earlier reference point [(175mV-

Data Setup, Hold, and Slew Rate De-rating
For all input signals the total tDS (setup time) and tDH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the data sheet tDH(base)
and tDH(base) value to the delta tDS and delta tDH derating value respectively.
Example: tDS (total setup time) = tDS(base) + delta tDS
Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of Vref(dc) and the
first crossing of VIH(ac)min. Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of Vref(dc) and the first crossing of VIL(ac)max. If the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal slew rate line
between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is later than the
nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, the slew rate of the tangent line to the actual signal
from the ac level to dc level is used for derating value.
Hold (tDH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIL(dc)max and the
first crossing of Vref(dc). Hold (tDH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of VIH(dc)min and the first crossing of Vref(dc). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew rate line
between shaded ‘dc level to Vref(dc) region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is earlier than the
nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘dc to Vref(dc) region’, the slew rate of a tangent line to the actual signal
from the dc level to Vref(dc) level is used for derating value.
For a valid transition the input signal has to remain above/below VIH/IL(ac) for some time tVAC.
Although for slow slew rates the total setup time might be negative (i.e. a valid input signal will not have reached VIH/IL(ac)
at the time of the rising clock transition) a valid input signal is still required to complete the transition and reach VIH/IL(ac).
For slew rates in between the values listed in the following tables, the derating values may be obtained by linear
interpolation.
These values are typically not subject to production test. They are verified by design and characterization.
