Automatic Refresh Command (CAS before RAS Refresh)
When CS, RAS, and CAS are held low with CKE and WE high at the rising edge of the clock, the chip enters the Automatic
Refresh mode (CBR). All banks of the SDRAM must be precharged and idle for a minimum of the Precharge time (tRP)
before the Auto Refresh Command (CBR) can be applied. An address counter, internal to the device provides the
address during the refresh cycle. No control of the external address pins 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
Auto Refresh Command (CBR) and the next Activate Command or subsequent Auto Refresh Command must be greater
than or equal to the RAS cycle time (tRC).
Self Refresh Command
The SDRAM device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self Refresh operation. The Self Refresh Command is defined by
having CS, RAS, CAS, and CKE held low with WE high at the rising edge of the clock. All banks must be idle prior to issuing
the Self Refresh Command. Once the command is registered, CKE must be held low to keep the device in Self Refresh
mode. When the SDRAM has entered Self Refresh mode all of the external control signals, except CKE, are disabled. The
clock is internally disabled during Self Refresh Operation to save power. The user may halt the external clock while the
device is in Self Refresh mode, however, the clock must be restarted before the device can exit Self Refresh operation.
Once the clock is cycling, the device will exit Self Refresh operation after CKE is returned high. A minimum delay time is
required when the device exits Self Refresh Operation and before the next command can be issued. This delay is equal to
the RAS cycle time (tRC) plus the Self Refresh exit time (tSREX).
Power Dow n Mode
In order to reduce standby power consumption, two power down modes are available: Precharge and Active Power Down
mode. To enter Precharge Power Down mode, all banks must be precharged and the necessary precharge delay (tRP) must
occur before the SDRAM can enter the power down mode. If a bank is activated but not performing a Read or Write
operation, Active Power Down mode will be entered. (Issuing a Power Down Mode Command when the device is
performing a Read or Write operation causes the device to enter Clock Suspend mode. See the following Clock Suspend
section.) Once the Power Down mode is initiated by holding CKE low, all of the receiver circuits except CKE are gated off.
The Power Down mode does not perform any refresh operations, therefore the device can’t remain in Power Down mode
longer than the Refresh period (tREF) of the device.
The Power Down mode is exited by bringing CKE high. When CKE goes high, a No Operation Command (or Device
Deselect Command) is required on the next rising clock edge.
