Overview

The 2Gb Double-Data-Rate-3 DRAMs is double data

rate architecture to achieve high-speed operation. It is

internally configured as an eight bank DRAM.

The 2Gb chip is organized as 16Mbit x 16 I/Os x 8

bank devices. These synchronous devices achieve

high speed double-data-rate transfer rates of up to

1866 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 CK#

falling). All I/Os are synchronized with differential DQS

pair in a source synchronous fashion.

These devices operate with a single 1.5V ± 0.075V

power supply and are available in BGA packages.

Ball Descriptions Table 3. Ball Descriptions

Symbol Type Description

CK, CK# Input Differential Clock: CK and CK# are driven by the system clock. All SDRAM input signals

are sampled on the crossing of positive edge of CK and negative edge of CK#. Output

(Read) data is referenced to the crossings of CK and CK# (both directions of crossing).

CKE Input

Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CK signal. If CKE goes

LOW synchronously with clock, the internal clock is suspended from the next clock cycle

and the state of output and burst address is frozen as long as the CKE remains LOW.

When all banks are in the idle state, deactivating the clock controls the entry to the Power

Down and Self Refresh modes.

BA0-BA2 Input

Bank Address: BA0-BA2 define to which bank the BankActivate, Read, Write, or Bank

Precharge command is being applied.

A0-A13 Input

Address Inputs: A0-A13 are sampled during the BankActivate command (row address

A0-A13) and Read/Write command (column address A0-A9 with A10 defining

uto

Precharge).

A10/AP Input

Auto-Precharge: A10 is sampled during Read/Write commands to determine whether

Autoprecharge should be performed to the accessed bank after the Read/Write operation.

(HIGH: Autoprecharge; LOW: no Autoprecharge). A10 is sampled during a Precharge

command to determine whether the Precharge applies to one bank (A10 LOW) or all

banks (A10 HIGH).

A12/BC# Input

Burst Chop: A12/BC# is sampled during Read and Write commands to determine if burst

chop (on the fly) will be performed. (HIGH - no burst chop; LOW - burst chopped).

CS# Input

Chip Select: CS# enables (sampled LOW) and disables (sampled HIGH) the command

decoder. All commands are masked when CS# is sampled HIGH. It is considered part of

the command code.

RAS# Input

Row Address Strobe: The RAS# signal defines the operation commands in conjunction

with the CAS# and WE# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive edges of CK

and negative edge of CK#. When RAS# and CS# are asserted "LOW" and CAS# is

asserted "HIGH," either the BankActivate command or the Precharge command is

selected by the WE# signal. When the WE# is asserted "HIGH," the BankActivate

command is selected and the bank designated by BA is turned on to the active state.

When the WE# is asserted "LOW," the Precharge command is selected and the bank

designated by BA is switched to the idle state after the precharge operation.

CAS# Input Column Address Strobe: The CAS# signal defines the operation commands in

conjunction with the RAS# and WE# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive

edges of CK and negative edge of CK#. When RAS# is held "HIGH" and CS# is asserted

"LOW," the column access is started by asserting CAS# "LOW." Then, the Read or Write

command is selected by asserting WE# “HIGH " or “LOW".

WE# Input

Write Enable: The WE# signal defines the operation commands in conjunction with the

RAS# and CAS# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive edges of CK and

negative edge of CK#. The WE# input is used to select the BankActivate or Precharge

command and Read or Write command.

Bidirectional Data Strobe: Specifies timing for Input and Output data. Read Data Strobe

is edge triggered. Write Data Strobe provides a setup and hold time for data and DQM.

LDQS is for DQ0~7, UDQS is for DQ8~15. The data strobes LDOS and UDQS are paired

with LDQS# and UDQS# to provide differential pair signaling to the system during both

reads and writes.

DQ0 - DQ15 Input /

Output Data I/O: The data bus input and output data are synchronized with positive and negative

edges of DQS/DQS#. TheI/Os are byte-maskable during Writes.

ODT Input

On Die Termination: ODT (registered HIGH) enables termination resistance internal to

the DDR3 SDRAM. When enabled, ODT is applied to each DQ, DQS, DQS#. The ODT

pin will be ignored if Mode-registers, MR1and MR2, are programmed to disable RTT.

RESET# Input

Functional Description

The DDR3 SDRAM is a high-speed dynamic random access memory internally configured as an eight-bank DRAM.

The DDR3 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 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 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-A13

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 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.

zPower-up and Initialization

The Following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization

1. Apply power (RESET# is recommended to be maintained below 0.2 x VDD, all other inputs may be undefined).

RESET# needs to be maintained for minimum 200us with stable power. CKE is pulled “Low” anytime before

RESET# 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.

- 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 RESET# 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, 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 DRAM will keep its on-die termination in high impedance state as long as RESET# is asserted.

Further, the DRAM keeps its on-die termination in high impedance state after RESET# deassertion 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 SDRAM is now ready for normal operation.

zReset Procedure at Stable Power

The following sequence is required for RESET at no power interruption initialization.

1. Asserted RESET below 0.2*VDD anytime when reset is needed (all other inputs may be undefined). RESET

needs to be maintained for minimum 100ns. CKE is pulled “Low” before RESET being de-asserted (min. time

10ns).

2. Follow Power-up Initialization Sequence step 2 to 11.

3. The Reset sequence is now completed. DDR3 SDRAM is ready for normal operation.

zProgramming the Mode Registers

For application flexibility, various functions, features, and modes are programmable in four Mode Registers,

provided by the DDR3 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 in Figure of tMRD timing.

The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and timing requirements during normal

operation as long as the DRAM is in idle state, i.e., all banks are in the precharged state with tRP satisfied, all data

bursts are completed 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.

zMode Register MR0

The mode-register MR0 stores data for controlling various operating modes of DDR3 SDRAM. It controls burst

length, read burst type, CAS latency, test mode, DLL reset, WR, and DLL control for precharge Power-Down, which

include various vendor specific options to make DDR3 DRAM useful for various applications. The mode register is

written by asserting low on CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE#, BA0, BA1, and BA2, while controlling the states of address

pins according to the following figure.

Note 2: WR (write recovery for autoprecharge) min in clock cycles is calculated by dividing tWR (ns) by tCK (ns) and

rounding up to the next integer WRmin [cycles] =Roundup (tWR / tCK). The value in the mode register must be

programmed to be equal or larger than WRmin. The programmed WR value is used with tRP to determine tDAL.

- 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/BC#

Note 1: In case of burst length being fixed to 4 by MR0 setting, the internal write operation starts two clock cycles earlier than

for 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/BC#, 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.

Note 2: 0~7 bit number is value of CA[2:0] that causes this bit to be the first read during a burst.

Note 3: T: Output driver for data and strobes are in high impedance.

Note 4: V: a valid logic level (0 or 1), but respective buffer input ignores level on input pins.

Note 5: X: Don’t Care.

- CAS Latency

The CAS Latency is defined by MR0 (bit A2, A4~A6) 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

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 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: WR min [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.

zMode Register MR1

The Mode Register MR1 stores the data for enabling or disabling the DLL, output strength, Rtt_Nom impedance,

additive latency, WRITE leveling enable and Qoff. The Mode Register 1 is written by asserting low on CS#, RAS#,

CAS#, WE#, high on BA0 and low on BA1 and BA2, while controlling the states of address pins according to the

following figure.

- 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 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 are described in DLL-off Mode. The direct ODT feature is not

supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must be disabled by continuously 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 SDRAM device is selected by MR1 (bit A1 and A5) as shown in MR1

definition figure.

- ODT Rtt Values

DDR3 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 SDRAM. In this operation, the DDR3 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 in MR.

- Write leveling

For better signal integrity, DDR3 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 SDRAM to compensate for skew.

- Output Disable

The DDR3 SDRAM outputs maybe enable/disabled by MR1 (bit 12) as shown in MR1 definition. When this feature

is enabled (A12=1) all output pins (DQs, DQS, DQS#, et c.) 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’.

- Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR)

Optional in DDR3 SDRAM: Users should refer to the DRAM supplier data sheet and/or the DIMM SPD to determine

if DDR3 SDRAM devices support the following options or requirements referred to in this material.

If PASR (Partial Array Self-Refresh) is enabled, data located in areas of the array beyond the specified address

range will be lost if Self-Refresh is entered. Data integrity will be maintained if tREFI conditions are met and no Self-

Refresh command is issued.

- 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 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”. For detailed Write operation refer to “WRITE Operation”.

- Auto Self-Refresh (ASR) and Self-Refresh Temperature (SRT)

DDR3 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 SDRAM: Users should refer to the DRAM supplier data sheet and/or the DIMM SPD to determine

refer to “Extended Temperature Usage”. DDR3 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 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 SDRAM can be changed without

issuing an MRS command. MR2 Register locations A9 and A10 configure the Dynamic ODT settings.

- Multi-Purpose Register (MPR)

The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration bit sequence.

MRS 3

【A2】

DQ, DM, DQS, DQS#

Multipurpose register

Pre-defined data for Reads

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. 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 in table 20When 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.

- MPR Functional Description

• One bit wide logical interface via all DQ pins during READ operation.

• Register Read on x16:

• DQL[0] and DQU[0] drive information from MPR.

• DQL[7:1] and DQU[7:1] either drive the same information as DQL [0], or they drive 0b.

• Addressing during for Multi Purpose Register reads for all MPR agents:

• BA [2:0]: don’t care

• A[1:0]: A[1:0] must be equal to ‘00’b. Data read burst order in nibble is fixed

• A[2]: For BL=8, A[2] must be equal to 0b, burst order is fixed to [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7], *) For Burst Chop 4 cases, the

burst order is switched on nibble base A [2]=0b, Burst order: 0,1,2,3 *) A[2]=1b, Burst order: 4,5,6,7 *)

• A[9:3]: don’t care

• A10/AP: don’t care

• A12/BC: Selects burst chop mode on-the-fly, if enabled within MR0.

• A11, A13, ... (if available): don’t care

• Regular interface functionality during register reads:

• Support two Burst Ordering which are switched with A2 and A[1:0]=00b.

• Support of read burst chop (MRS and on-the-fly via A12/BC)

• All other address bits (remaining column address bits including A10, all bank address bits) will be ignored by the

DDR3 SDRAM.

•Regular read latencies and AC timings apply.

• DLL must be locked prior to MPR Reads.

NOTE: *) Burst order bit 0 is assigned to LSB and burst order bit 7 is assigned to MSB of the selected MPR agent.

zNo Operation (NOP) Command

The No operation (NOP) command is used to instruct the selected DDR3 SDRAM to perform a NOP (CS# low and

RAS#, CAS# and WE# high). This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states.

Operations already in progress are not affected.

zDeselect Command

The Deselect function (CS# HIGH) prevents new commands from being executed by the DDR3 SDRAM. The DDR3

SDRAM is effectively deselected. Operations already in progress are not affected.

zDLL- Off Mode

DDR3 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. 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)

zDLL on/off switching procedure

DDR3 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”.

zDLL “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.

zDLL “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 clock 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.

zJitter Notes

NOTE 1. 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, another Mode Register Set command may be

registered at Tm+4, even if (Tm+4 - Tm) is 4 x tCK(avg) + tERR(4per),min.

NOTE 2. These parameters are measured from a command/address signal (CKE, CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE#,

ODT, BA0, A0, A1, etc.) transition edge to its respective clock signal (CK/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.

NOTE 3. These parameters are measured from a data strobe signal (DQS(L/U), DQS(L/U)#) crossing to its

respective clock signal (CK, 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.

NOTE 4. 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), DQS(L/U)#) crossing.

NOTE 5. For these parameters, the DDR3 SDRAM device supports tnPARAM [nCK] = RU{ tPARAM [ns] /

tCK(avg) [ns] }, which is in clock cycles, assuming all input clock jitter specifications are satisfied.

NOTE 6. 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 deratings are relative to the SDRAM

input clock.)

NOTE 7. 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.)

zInput Clock frequency change

Once the DDR3 SDRAM is initialized, the DDR3 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 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 Self-Refresh entry and exit specifications must still

be met. The DDR3 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 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 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.

zWrite Leveling

For better signal integrity, DDR3 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

SDRAM to compensate the skew.

The memory controller can use the “write leveling” feature and feedback from the DDR3 SDRAM to adjust the

DQS – DQS# to CK – CK# relationship. The memory controller involved in the leveling must have adjustable delay

setting on DQS – DQS# to align the rising edge of DQS – DQS# with that of the clock at the DRAM pin. DRAM

asynchronously feeds back CK – CK#, sampled with the rising edge of DQS – DQS#, through the DQ bus. The

controller repeatedly delays DQS – DQS# until a transition from 0 to 1 is detected. The DQS – 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- 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.

DQS/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 X16. On

a X16 device, both byte lanes should be leveled independently. Therefore, a separate feedback mechanism should

be available 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.

zDRAM setting for write leveling and DRAM termination function in that mode

DRAM enters into Write leveling mode if A7 in MR1 set “High” and after finishing leveling, DRAM exits from write

leveling mode if A7 in MR1 set “Low”. Note that in write leveling mode, only DQS/DQS# terminations are activated

and deactivated via ODT pin not like normal operation.

Table 22. DRAM termination function in the leveling mode

De-asserted off off

Asserted on off

Note 1: In write leveling mode with its output buffer disabled (MR1[bit7]=1 with MR1[bit12]=1) all RTT_Nom settings are

allowed; in Write 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.

zProcedure 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 DQS# 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, DQS# edge which is

used by the DRAM to sample CK – CK# driven from controller. tWLMRD(max) timing is controller dependent.

DRAM samples CK – 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 – DQS# delay setting and launches the next DQS/DQS# pulse after some time, which is controller

dependent. Once a 0 to 1 transition is detected, the controller locks DQS – DQS# delay setting and write leveling is

achieved for the device.

zWrite 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

zExtended Temperature Usage

Users should refer to the DRAM supplier data sheet and/or the DIMM SPD to determine if DDR3

SDRAM devices support the following options or requirements referred to in this material:

1. Auto Self-refresh supported

2. Extended Temperature Range supported

3. Double refresh required for operation in the Extended Temperature Range (applies only for devices

supporting the Extended Temperature Range)

zAuto Self-Refresh mode - ASR mode

DDR3 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.

zSelf-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

zACTIVE 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-A13 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.

zPRECHARGE 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.

zRead Timing; Clock to Data Strobe relationship

Clock to Data Strobe relationship is shown in the following figure and is applied when the DLL is enabled and

locked.

Rising data strobe edge parameters:

tDQSCK min/max describes the allowed range for a rising data strobe edge relative to CK and CK#. tDQSCK

is the actual position of a rising strobe edge relative to CK and CK#. tQSH describes the data strobe high pulse

width.

Falling data strobe edge parameters:

tQSL describes the data strobe low pulse width.

Figure 19. 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. Notwithstanding note 1, a rising strobe edge with tDQSCK(max) at T(n) can not be immediately followed by a rising strobe edge

with tDQSCK(min) at T(n+1). This is because other timing relationships (tQSH, tQSL) exist: if tDQSCK(n+1) < 0: tDQSCK(n) < 1.0 tCK -

(tQSHmin + tQSLmin) - | tDQSCK(n+1) |

3. The DQS, DQS# differential output high time is defined by tQSH and the DQS, DQS# differential output low time is defined by tQSL.

4. 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).

5. The minimum pulse width of read preamble is defined by tRPRE(min).

6. The maximum read postamble is bound by tDQSCK(min) plus tQSH(min) on the left side and tHZDSQ(max) on the right side.

7. The minimum pulse width of read postamble is defined by tRPST(min).

8. The maximum read preamble is bound by tLZDQS(min) on the left side and tDQSCK(max) on the right side.

Write Operation

zDDR3 Burst Operation

During a READ or WRITE command, DDR3 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.

zWRITE Timing Violations

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.

zData 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.

zStrobe 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.

zWrite 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).

zRefresh Command

The Refresh command (REF) is used during normal operation of the DDR3 SDRAMs. This command is not

persistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The DDR3 SDRAM requires Refresh cycles at an

average periodic interval of tREFI. When CS#, RAS#, and CAS# are held Low and WE# 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).

In general, a Refresh command needs to be issued to the DDR3 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 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.

zSelf-Refresh Operation

The Self-Refresh command can be used to retain data in the DDR3 SDRAM, even if the reset of the system is

powered down. When in the Self-Refresh mode, the DDR3 SDRAM retains data without external clocking. The

DDR3 SDRAM device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self-Refresh operation. The Self-Refresh Entry (SRE)

Command is defined by having CS#, RAS#, CAS#, and CKE held low with WE# high at the rising edge of the clock.

Before issuing the Self-Refreshing-Entry command, the DDR3 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 SDRAM has entered Self-Refresh mode, all of the external control signals, except CKE and

RESET#, 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

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 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 SDRAM requires a minimum

of one extra refresh command before it is put back into Self-Refresh mode.

Power-Down Modes

zPower-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, CKE, and RESET#. 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.

Also the DLL is disabled upon entering precharge power-down (Slow Exit Mode), but the DLL is kept enabled

high, and a stable clock signal must be maintained at the inputs of the DD3 SDRAM, and ODT should be in a valid

state but all other input signals are “Don’t care” (If RESET# goes low during Power-Down, the DRAM will be out of

PD mode and into reset state).

CKE low must be maintain until tCKE has been satisfied. Power-down duration is limited by 9 times tREFI of the

device. The power-down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered high (along with a NOP or Deselect

command).CKE high must be maintained until tCKE has been satisfied. A valid, executable command can be

applied with power-down exit latency, tXP and/or tXPDLL after CKE goes high. Power-down exit latency is defined

at AC spec table of this datasheet.

On-Die Termination (ODT)

ODT (On-Die Termination) is a feature of the DDR3 SDRAM that allows the DRAM to turn on/off termination

resistance. For x16 configuration, ODT is applied to each DQU, DQL, DQSU, DQSU#, DQSL, DQSL#, DMU and

DML signal 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.

More details about ODT control modes and ODT timing modes can be found further down in this document.

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.

Figure 21. Functional representation of ODT

like RCV,...

DQ, DQS, DM

ODT VDDQ / 2

RTT

Switch

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.

zODT 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.

zSynchronous 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

continuously 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: ODTLon = WL - 2; ODTLoff = WL-2.

zODT 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 SDRAM latency definitions.

zTiming 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.

zODT during Reads

As the DDR3 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.

zDynamic 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 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.

zAsynchronous 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 pow er 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.

zSynchronous 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 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.

zAsynchronous 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 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

(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 (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.

zAsynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode during short CKE high and short CKE low periods

If the total time in Precharge Power Down state or Idle state is very short, the transition periods for PD entry and PD

exit may overlap. In this case, the response of the DDR3 SDRAMs RTT to a change in ODT state at the input may

be 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).

If the total time in Idle state is very short, the transition periods for PD exit and PD entry may overlap. In this case,

the response of the DDR3 SDRAMs RTT to a change in ODT state at the input may be synchronous or

ZQ Calibration Commands

zZQ Calibration Description

ZQ Calibration command is used to calibrate DRAM Ron and ODT values. DDR3 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.

- Single-ended requirements for differential signals

Each individual component of a differential signal (CK, CK#, LDQS, UDQS, LDQS#, or UDQS#) has also to comply

with certain requirements for single-ended signals.

CK and CK# have to approximately reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately equal to the ac-levels (VIH(ac) /

VIL(ac)) for ADD/CMD signals) in every half-cycle. LDQS, UDQS, LDQS#, UDQS# have to reach VSEHmin /

VSELmax (approximately 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 single-ended signals

CK and CK#.

Single-ended low level for strobes Note 3 (VDD / 2) - 0.175 V 1,2

VSEL Single-ended low level for CK, CK# Note 3 (VDD / 2) - 0.175 V 1,2

NOTE 1: For CK, CK# use VIH/VIL(ac) of ADD/CMD; for strobes (DQSL, DQSL#, DQSU, DQSU#) use VIH/VIL(ac) of DQs.

NOTE 2: VIH(ac)/VIL(ac) for DQs is based on VREFDQ; VIH(ac)/VIL(ac) for ADD/CMD is based on VREFCA; if a reduced

ac-high or ac-low level is used for a signal group, then the reduced level applies also here.

NOTE 3: These values are not defined, however the single-ended signals CK, CK#, DQSL, DQSL#, DQSU, DQSU# need

to be within the respective limits (VIH(dc) max, VIL(dc)min) for single-ended signals as well as the limitations

for overshoot and undershoot.

- Differential Input Cross Point Voltage

To guarantee tight setup and hold times as well as output skew parameters with respect to clock and strobe, each

cross point voltage of differential input signals (CK, CK# and DQS, DQS#) must meet the requirements in the

following table. The differential input cross point voltage Vix is measured from the actual cross point of true and

complete signal to the midlevel between of VDD and VSS.

NOTE 1: Extended range for Vix is only allowed for clock and if single-ended clock input signals CK and CK# are monotonic

with a single-ended swing VSEL / VSEH of at least VDD/2 +/-250 mV, and when the differential slew rate of CK

- CK# is larger than 3 V/ns.

NOTE 2: The relation between Vix Min/Max and VSEL/VSEH should satisfy following.

(VDD/2) + Vix (Min) - VSEL ≧ 25mV

VSEH - ((VDD/2) + Vix (Max)) ≧ 25mV

- 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).

NOTE 2: The tIS(base) AC150 (AC135) specifications are adjusted from the tIS(base) specification by adding an additional

100ps of derating to accommodate for the lower alternate threshold of 150mV (135mV) and another 25 ps to account for the

earlier reference point [(175 mv - 150 mV) / 1 V/ns] or [(160 mv - 135 mV) / 1 V/ns].

- 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

tDS(base) and tDH(base) value to the ΔtDS and ΔtDH derating value respectively.

Example: tDS (total setup time) = tDS(base) + ΔtDS.

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.
