Bank Addresses (A13~A12)
This SDRAM is organized as four independent banks of 2,097,152 words x 16 bits memory arrays. The
A13~A12 inputs are latched at the time of assertion of /RAS and /CAS to select the bank to be used for the
operation. The banks addressed A13~A12 are latched at bank active, read, write, mode register set and
precharge operations.
Address Inputs (A0~A11)
The 21 address bits are required to decode the 2,097,152 word locations are multiplexed into 12 address
input pins (A0~A11). The 12 row addresses are latched along with /RAS and A13~A12 during bank active
command. The 9 bit column addresses are latched along with /CAS , /WE and A13~A12 during read or with
command.
NOP and Device Deslect
When /RAS , /CAS and /WE are high , The SDRAM performs no operation (NOP). NOP does not initiate any
new operation, but is needed to complete operations which require more than single clock cycle like bank activate,
burst read, auto refresh, etc. The device deselect is also a NOP and is entered by asserting /CS high. /CS high
disables the command decoder so that /RAS , /CAS , /WE and all the address inputs are ignored.
Power-up
1. Apply power and start clock, Attempt to maintain CKE = “H”, DQM = “H” and the other pins are NOP condition
at the inputs.
2. Maintain stable power, stable clock and NOP input condition for minimum of 200us.
3. Issue precharge commands for both banks of the devices.
4. Issue 2 or more auto-refresh commands.
5. Issue a mode register set command to initialize the mode register.
cf.) Sequence of 4 & 5 is regardless of the order. The device is now ready for normal operation.
Mode Register Set (MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of SDRAM. It programs the
CAS latency, burst type, burst length, test mode and various vendor specific options to make SDRAM useful for
variety of different applications. The default value of the mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register
must be written after power up to operate the SDRAM. The mode register is written by asserting low on /CS ,
/RAS , /CAS and /WE (The SDRAM should be in active mode with CKE already high prior to writing the mode
register). The state of address pins A0~A11 and A13~A12 in the same cycle as /CS , /RAS , /CAS and /WE going
low is the data written in the mode register. Two clock cycles is required to complete the write 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 into depending
