Description
The 1giga-bit (1Gb) Double-Data-Rate-2 (DDR2) DRAMs is a high-speed CMOS Double Data Rate 2 SDRAM
containing 1,073,741,824 bits. It is internally configured as an octal-bank DRAM.
The 1Gb chip is organized as 32Mbit x 4 I/O x 8 bank, 16Mbit x 8 I/O x 8 bank or 8Mbit x 16 I/O x 8 bank device. These
synchronous devices achieve high speed double-data-rate transfer rates of up to 800 Mb/sec/pin for general appli-
cations.
The chip is designed to comply with all key DDR2 DRAM key features: (1) posted CAS with additive latency, (2) write
latency = read latency -1, (3) normal and weak strength data-output driver, (4) variable data-output impedance
adjustment and (5) an ODT (On-Die Termination) function.
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. A 14 bit address bus for x4/x8 organized components
and A 13 bit address bus for x16 component is used to convey row, column, and bank address devices.
These devices operate with a single 1.8V ± 0.1V power supply and are available in BGA packages.

Input / Output Functional Description
Symbol
Type
Function
CK, 
Input
Clock: CK and  are differential clock inputs. All address and control input signals are sampled
on the crossing of the positive edge of CK and negative edge of . Output (read) data is
referenced to the crossings of CK and  (both directions of crossing).
CKE
Input
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.

Input
Chip Select: All commands are masked when  is registered high.  provides for external rank
selection on systems with multiple memory ranks.  is considered part of the command code.
, , 
Input
Command Inputs: ,  and  (along with ) define the command being entered.
DM, LDM, UDM
Input
Input Data Mask: DM is an input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked when DM is
sampled high coincident with that input data during a Write access. DM is sampled on both edges
of DQS. Although DM pins are input only, the DM loading matches the DQ and DQS loading. For
x8 device, the function of DM or RDQS /  is enabled by EMRS command.
BA0 - BA2
Input
Bank Address Inputs: BA0, BA1, and BA2 define to which bank an Active, Read, Write or
Precharge command is being applied. Bank address also determines if the mode register or
extended mode register is to be accessed during a MRS or EMRS cycle.
A0 A13
Input
Address Inputs: Provides the row address for Activate commands and the column address and
Auto Precharge or Read/Write commands to select one location out of the memory array in the
respective bank. A10 is sampled during a Precharge command to determine whether the
precharge applies to one bank (A10=low) or all banks (A10=high). If only one bank is to be
precharged, the bank is selected by BA0-BA2. The address inputs also provide the op-code during
Mode Register Set commands.A13 Row address use on x8 components only.
DQ
Input/output
Data Inputs/Output: Bi-directional data bus.
DQS, ()
LDQS, (),
UDQS,()
Input/output
Data Strobe: output with read data, input with write data. Edge aligned with read data, centered
with write data. For the x16, LDQS corresponds to the data on DQ0 - DQ7; UDQS corresponds to
the data on DQ8-DQ15. The data strobes DQS, LDQS, UDQS, and RDQS may be used in single
ended mode or paired with the optional complementary signals , ,  to provide
differential pair signaling to the system during both reads and writes. An EMRS(1) control bit
enables or disables the complementary data strobe signals.

RDQS, ()
Input/output
Read Data Strobe: For x8 components a RDQS and  pair can be enabled via EMRS(1) for
real timing. RDQS and  is not support x16 components. RDQS and  are edge-aligned
with real data. If enable RDQS and  then DM function will be disabled.
ODT
Input
On Die Termination: ODT (registered HIGH) enables termination resistance internal to the DDR2
SDRAM. When enabled, ODT is applied to each DQ, DQS, , RDQS, , and DM signal for
x8 configuration. For x16 configuration ODT is applied to each DQ, UDQS, , LDQS, ,
UDM and LDM signal. The ODT pin will be ignored if the EMRS (1) is programmed to disable ODT.

Functional Description
The 1Gb DDR2 SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic random-access memory containing 1,073,741,824 bits. The
1Gb DDR SDRAM is internally configured as a octal-bank DRAM.
Read and write accesses to the DDR2 SDRAM are burst oriented; accesses start at a selected location and continue for
the burst length of four or eight in a programmed sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of an Activate command,
which is followed by a Read or Write command. The address bits registered coincident with the activate command are
used to select the bank and row to be accesses (BA0, BA1, & BA2 select the banks, A0-A13 select the row for x4 and x8
components, A0-A12 select the row for x16 components). The address bits registered coincident with the Read or Write
command are used to select the starting column location for the burst access and to determine if the Auto-Precharge
command is to be issued.
Prior to normal operation, the DDR2 SDRAM must be initialized. The following sections provide detailed information
covering device initialization, register definition, command description and device operation.
Power-up and Initialization
DDR2 SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures other than those
specified may result in undefined operation.
The following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization.
1. Either one of the following sequence is required for Power-up.
While applying power, attempt to maintain CKE below 0.2 x VDDQ and ODT at a Low state (all other inputs may be unde-
fined) The VDD voltage ramp time must be no greater than 200ms from when VDD ramps from 300mV to VDD min; and
during the VDD voltage ramp up, IVDD-VDDQI0.3 volts. Once the ramping of the supply voltages is complete (when
VDDQ crosses VDDQ min), the supply voltage specifications in Re-commanded DC operating conditions table.
- VDD, VDDL, and VDDQ are driven from a signal power converter output, AND
- VTT is limited to 0.95V max, AND
- Vref tracks VDDQ/2; Vref must be within ±300mV with respect to VDDQ/2 during supply ramp time.
- VDDQ>=VREF must be met at all times.
While applying power, attempt to maintain CKE below 0.2 x VDDQ and ODT at a Low state, all other inputs may be
undefined, voltage levels at I/Os and outputs must be less than VDDQ during voltage ramp time to avoid DRAM latch-up.
During the ramping of the supply voltages, VDDVDDLVDDQ must be maintained and is applicable to both AC and
DC levels until the ramping of the supply voltages is complete, which is when VDDQ crosses VDDQ min. Once the
ramping of the supply voltages is complete, the supply voltage specifications provided in Re-commanded DC operating
conditions table.
- Apply VDD/VDDL before or at the same time as VDDQ.
- VDD/VDDL voltage ramp time must be no greater than 200ms from when VDD ramps from 300mV to VDDmin.
- Apply VDDQ before or at the same time as VTT.

- The VDDQ voltage ramp time from when VDD min is achieved on VDD to when VDDQ min is achieved on VDDQ must
be no greater than 500ms. (Note: While VDD is ramping, current may be supplied from VDD through the DRAM to
VDDQ.)
- Vref must track VDDQ/2; Vref must be within ±300mV with respect to VDDQ/2 during supply ramp time.
- VDDQ VREF must be met at all time.
- Apply VTT.
2. Start clock (CK, ) and maintain stable condition.
3. For the minimum of 200us after stable power (VDD, VDDL, VDDQ, VREF, and VTT are between their minimum and
maximum values as stated in Re-commanded DC operating conditions table, and stable clock, then apply NOP or
Deselect & take CKE HIGH.
4. Waiting minimum of 400ns then issue pre-charge all command. NOP or Deselect applied during 400ns period.
5. Issue an EMRS command to EMR (2). (Provide LOW to BA0 and BA2, and HIGH to BA1).
6. Issue an EMRS command to EMR (3). (Provide LOW to BA2 and HIGH to BA0 and BA1).
7. Issue EMRS to enable DLL. (Provide Low to A0, HIGH to BA0 and LOW to BA1-BA2 and A13-A15. And
A9=A8=A7=LOW must be used when issuing this command.)
8. Issue a Mode Register Set command for DLL reset. (Provide HIGH to A8 and LOW to BA0-BA2, and A13-A15.)

Register Definition
Programming the Mode Registration and Extended Mode Registers
For application flexibility, burst length, burst type,  latency, DLL reset function, write recovery time (tWR) are user
defined variables and must be programmed with a Mode Register Set (MRS) command. Additionally, DLL disable
function, additive  latency, driver impedance, ODT (On Die Termination), single-ended strobe and OCD (off chip
driver impedance adjustment) are also user defined variables and must be programmed with an Extended Mode Register
Set (EMRS) command. Contents of the Mode Register (MR) and Extended Mode Registers (EMR (#)) can be altered by
re-executing the MRS and EMRS Commands. If the user chooses to modify only a subset of the MRS or EMRS variables,
all variables must be redefined when the MRS or EMRS commands are issued. MRS, EMRS and DLL Reset do not affect
array contents, which mean re-initialization including those can be executed any time after power-up without affecting
array contents.
Mode Registration Set (MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of DDR2 SDRAM. It controls  latency,
burst length, burst sequence, test mode, DLL reset, tWR and various vendor specific options to make DDR2 SDRAM
useful for various applications. The default value of the mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register must be
written after power-up for proper operation. The mode register is written by asserting low on , , , , BA0 and
BA1, while controlling the state of address pins A0 ~ A13. The DDR2 SDRAM should be in all banks precharged (idle)
mode with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register. The mode register set command cycle time (tMRD) is
required to complete the write operation to the mode register. The mode register contents can be changed using the
same command and clock cycle requirements during normal operation as long as all banks are in the precharged state.
The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. Burst length is defined by A0 ~ A2 with options
of 4 and 8 bit burst length. Burst address sequence type is defined by A3 and  latency is defined by A4 ~ A6. A7 is
used for test mode and must be set to low for normal MRS operation. A8 is used for DLL reset. A9 ~ A11 are used for
write recovery time (WR) definition for Auto-Precharge mode.

Extended Mode Register Set EMRS (1)
The extended mode register EMRS(1) stores the data for enabling or disabling the DLL, output driver strength, additive
latency, ODT,  disable, OCD program, RQDS enable. The default value of the extended mode register EMRS(1) is
not defined, therefore the extended mode register must be written after power-up for proper operation. The extended
mode register is written by asserting low on , , , , BA1 and high on BA0, while controlling the state of the
address pins. The DDR2 SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the extended
mode register. The mode register set command cycle time (tMRD) must be satisfied to complete the write operation to the
EMRS (1). Mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during normal
operation as long as all banks are in precharge state. A0 is used for DLL enable or disable. A1 is used for enabling a half
strength output driver. A3-A5 determines the additive latency, A7-A9 are used for OCD control, A10 is used for 
disable and A11 is used for RDQS enable. A2 and A6 are used for ODT setting.
Single-ended and Differential Data Strobe Signals
The following table lists all possible combinations for DQS, , RDQS,  which can be programmed by A10 & A11
address bits in EMRS(1). RDQS and  are available in x8 components only. If RDQS is enabled in x8 components,
the DM function is disabled. RDQS is active for reads and don‟t care for writes.

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. The DLL is automatically disabled when entering Self-Refresh
operation and is automatically re-enabled and reset upon exit of Self-Refresh operation. Any time the DLL is reset,
200 clock cycles must occur before a Read command can be issued to allow time for the internal clock to be
synchronized with the external clock. Less clock cycles may result in a violation of the tAC or tDQSCK
parameters.
Output Disable (Qoff)
Under normal operation, the DRAM outputs are enabled during Read operation for driving data (Qoff bit in the EMRS (1) is
set to 0). When the Qoff bit is set to 1, the DRAM outputs will be disabled. Disabling the DRAM outputs allows users to
measure IDD currents during Read operations, without including the output buffer current and external load currents.

Extended Mode Register Set for OCD impedance adjustment
OCD impedance adjustment can be done using the following EMRS (1) mode. In drive mode all outputs are driven out by
DDR2 SDRAM and drive of RDQS is dependent on EMRS (1) bit enabling RDQS operation. In Drive (1) mode, all DQ, DQS
(and RDQS) signals are driven high and all  (and ) signals are driven low. In Drive (0) mode, all DQ, DQS (and
RDQS) signals are driven low and all  (and ) signals are driven high. In adjust mode, BL = 4 of operation code
data must be used. In case of OCD calibration default, output driver characteristics have a nominal impedance value of 18
Ohms during nominal temperature and voltage conditions. Output driver characteristics for OCD calibration default are
specified in the following table. OCD applies only to normal full strength output drive setting defined by EMRS (1) and if half
strength is set, OCD default driver characteristics are not applicable. When OCD calibration adjust mode is used, OCD
default output driver characteristics are not applicable. After OCD calibration is completed or driver strength is set to default,
subsequent EMRS(1) commands not intended to adjust OCD characteristics must specify A7~A9 as ‟000‟ in order to
maintain the default or calibrated value.

OCD impedance adjust
To adjust output driver impedance, controllers must issue the ADJUST EMRS (1) command along with a 4 bit burst code to
DDR2 SDRAM as in the following table. For this operation, Burst Length has to be set to BL = 4 via MRS command before
activating OCD and controllers must drive the burst code to all DQs at the same time. DT0 is the table means all DQ bits at
bit time 0, DT1 at bit time 1, and so forth. The driver output impedance is adjusted for all DDR2 SDRAM DQs
simultaneously and after OCD calibration, all DQs of a given DDR2 SDRAM will be adjusted to the same driver strength
setting. The maximum step count for adjustment can be up to 16 and when the limit is reached, further increment or
decrement code has no effect. The default setting may be any step within the maximum step count range. When Adjust
mode command is issued, AL from previously set value must be applied.

On-Die Termination (ODT)
ODT (On-Die Termination) is a feature that allows a DRAM to turn on/off termination resistance for each DQ, DQ, DQS,
, RDQS, , and DM signal for x8 configurations via the ODT control pin. For x16 configuration ODT is applied to
each DQ, UDQS, , LDQS, , UDM and LDM 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.
The ODT function can be used for all active and standby modes. ODT is turned off and not supported in Self-Refresh mode.

Bank Activate Command
The Bank Activate command is issued by holding  and  high plus  and  low at the rising edge of the clock.
The bank addresses BA0 ~ BA2 are used to select the desired bank. The row addresses A0 through A13 are used to
determine which row to activate in the selected bank for and x8 organized components. For x16 components row
addresses A0 through A12 have to be applied. The Bank Activate command must be applied before any Read or Write
operation can be executed. Immediately after the bank active command, the DDR2 SDRAM can accept a read or write
command (with or without Auto-Precharge) on the following clock cycle. If an R/W command is issued to a bank that has
not satisfied the tRCDmin specification, then additive latency must be programmed into the device to delay the R/W command
which is internally issued to the device. The additive latency value must be chosen to assure tRCDmin is satisfied. Additive
latencies of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are supported. Once a bank has been activated it must be precharged before another
Bank Activate command can be applied to the same bank. The bank active and precharge times are defined as tRAS and tRP,
respectively. The minimum time interval between successive Bank Activate commands to the same bank is determined
(tRC). The minimum time interval between Bank Active commands, to other bank, is the Bank A to Bank B delay time (tRRD).
In order to ensure that 8 bank devices do not exceed the instantaneous current supplying capability of 4 bank devices,
certain restrictions on operation of the 8 bank devices must be observed. There are two rules. One for restricting the
number of sequential ACTcommands that can be issued and another for allowing more time for RAS precharge for a
Precharge All command. The rules are list as follow:
* 8 bank device sequential Bank Activation Restriction: No more than 4 banks may be activated in a rolling tFAW window.
Conveting to clocks is done by dividing tFAW by tCK and rounding up to next integer value. As an example of the rolling
window, if (tFAW/tCK) rounds up to 10 clocks, and an activate command is issued in clock N, no more than three further
activate commands may be issued in clock N+1 through N+9.
*8 bank device Precharge All Allowance: tRP for a Precharge All command for an 8 Bank device will equal to tRP+tCK,
where tRP is the value for a single bank pre-charge.

Read and Write Commands and Access Modes
After a bank has been activated, a read or write cycle can be executed. This is accomplished by setting  high,  and
 low at the clock‟s rising edge.  must also be defined at this time to determine whether the access cycle is a read
operation ( high) or a write operation ( low). The DDR2 SDRAM provides a fast column access operation. A single
Read or Write Command will initiate a serial read or write operation on successive clock cycles. The boundary of the burst
cycle is restricted to specific segments of the page length.
A new burst access must not interrupt the previous 4 bit burst operation in case of BL = 4 setting. However, in case of
BL=8 setting, two cases of interrupt by a new burst access are allowed, one reads interrupted by a read, the other writes
interrupted by a write with 4 bit burst boundary respectively, and the minimum  to  delay (tCCD) is minimum 2
clocks for read or write cycles.
Posted 
Posted  operation is supported to make command and data bus efficient for sustainable bandwidths in DDR2
SDRAM. In this operation, the DDR2 SDRAM allows a Read or Write command to be issued immediately after the 
bank activate command (or any time during the  to  delay time, tRCD, period). The command is held for the time of
the Additive Latency (AL) before it is issued inside the device. The Read Latency (RL) is the sum of AL and the 
latency (CL). Therefore if a user chooses to issue a Read/Write command before the tRCDmin, then AL greater than 0
must be written into the EMRS (1). The Write Latency (WL) is always defined as RL - 1 (Read Latency -1) where Read
Latency is defined as the sum of Additive Latency plus  latency (RL=AL+CL). If a user chooses to issue a Read
command after the tRCDmin period, the Read Latency is also defined as RL = AL + CL.
Example of posted  operation:

Burst Mode Operation
Burst mode operation is used to provide a constant flow of data to memory locations (write cycle), or from
memory locations (read cycle). The parameters that define how the burst mode will operate are burst sequence
and burst length. The DDR2 SDRAM supports 4 bit and 8 bit burst modes only. For 8 bit burst mode, full
interleave address ordering is supported, however, sequential address ordering is nibble based for ease of
implementation. The burst type, either sequential or interleaved, is programmable and defined by the address
bit 3 (A3) of the MRS. Seamless burst read or write operations are supported. Interruption of a burst read or
write operation is prohibited, when burst length = 4 is programmed. For burst interruption of a read or write
burst when burst length = 8 is used, see the “Burst Interruption “section of this datasheet. A Burst Stop
command is not supported on DDR2 SDRAM devices.

Burst Read Command
The Burst Read command is initiated by having  and  low while holding  and  high at the rising edge of the
clock. The address inputs determine the starting column address for the burst. The delay from the start of the command
until the data from the first cell appears on the outputs is equal to the value of the read latency (RL). The data strobe output
(DQS) is driven low one clock cycle before valid data (DQ) is driven onto the data bus. The first bit of the burst is
synchronized with the rising edge of the data strobe (DQS). Each subsequent data-out appears on the DQ pin in phase with
the DQS signal in a source synchronous manner. The RL is equal to an additive latency (AL) plus  latency (CL). The
CL is defined by the Mode Register Set (MRS). The AL is defined by the Extended Mode Register Set (EMRS (1))

The seamless burst read operation‟s supported by enabling a read command at every clock for BL=4 operation, and every
4 clock for BL=8 operation. This operation allows regardless of same or different banks as long as the banks activated.
Burst Write Command
The Burst Write command is initiated by having CS, CAS and WE low while holding RAS high at the rising edge of the clock.
The address inputs determine the starting column address. Write latency (WL) is defined by a read latency (RL) minus one
and is equal to (AL + CL -1). A data strobe signal (DQS) has to be driven low (preamble) a time tWPRE prior to the WL. The
first data bit of the burst cycle must be applied to the DQ pins at the first rising edge of the DQS following the preamble. The
tDQSS specification must be satisfied for write cycles. The subsequent burst bit data are issued on successive edges of the
DQS until the burst length is completed, which is 4 or 8 bit burst. When the burst has finished, any additional data supplied
to the DQ pins will be ignored. The DQ signal is ignored after the burst write operation is complete. The time from the
completion of the burst write to bank precharge is named “write recovery time” (WR) .
DDR2 SDRAM pin timings are specified for either single ended mode or differential mode depending on the setting of the
EMRS “Enable DQS” mode bit; timing advantages of differential mode are realized in system design. The method by which
the DDR2 SDRAM pin timing measured is mode dependent.

Burst Interruption
Interruption of a read or write burst is prohibited for burst length of 4 and only allowed for burst length of
8 under the following conditions:
1. A Read Burst of 8 can only be interrupted by another Read command. Read burst interruption by a Write or
Precharge Command is prohibited.
2. A Write Burst of 8 can only be interrupted by another Write command. Write burst interruption by a Read or
Precharge Command is prohibited.
3. Read burst interrupt occur exactly two clocks after the previous Read command. Any other Read burst
interrupt timings are prohibited.
4. Write burst interrupt occur exactly two clocks after the previous Write command. Any other Read burst
interrupt timings are prohibited.
5. Read or Write burst interruption is allowed to any bank inside the DDR2 SDRAM.
6. Read or Write burst with Auto-Precharge enabled is not allowed to be interrupted.
7. Read burst interruption is allowed by a Read with Auto-Precharge command.
8. Write burst interruption is allowed by a Write with Auto-Precharge command.
9. All command timings are referenced to burst length set in the mode register. They are not referenced to the
actual burst. For example, Minimum Read to Precharge timing is AL + BL/2 where BL is the burst length set in
the mode register and not the actual burst (which is shorter because of interrupt). Minimum Write to Precharge
timing is WL + BL/ 2 + tWR, where tWR starts with the rising clock after the un-interrupted burst end and not form
the end of the actual burst end.

The Precharge Command is used to precharge or close a bank that has been activated. The Precharge
Command is triggered when CS, RAS and WE are low and CAS is high at the rising edge of the clock. The
Pre-charge Command can be used to precharge each bank independently or all banks simultaneously. Three
address bits A10, BA0, BA1, and BA2 are used to define which bank to precharge when the command is
issued.

Burst Read Operation Followed by a Precharge
Minimum Read to Precharge command spacing to the same bank = AL + BL/2 + max (RTP, 2) - 2 clocks.
For the earliest possible precharge, the Precharge command may be issued on the rising edge which is “Additive Latency
(AL) + BL/2 clocks” after a Read Command, as long as the minimum tRAS timing is satisfied.
The minimum Read to Precharge spacing has also to satisfy a minimum analog time from the rising clock edge that initiates
the last 4-bit prefetch of a Read to Precharge command. This time is call tRTP (Read to Precharge). For BL=4 this is the
time from the actual read (AL after the Read command) to Precharge command. For BL=8 this is the time from AL + 2
clocks after the Read to the Precharge command.

Burst Write followed by Precharge
Minimum Write to Precharge command spacing to the same bank = WL + BL/2 + tWR. For write cycles, a delay
must be satisfied from the completion of the last burst write cycle until the Precharge command can be issued.
This delay is known as a write recovery time (tWR) referenced from the completion of the burst write to the
Precharge command. No Precharge command should be issued prior to the tWR delay, as DDR2 SDRAM does
not support any burst interrupt by a Precharge command. tWR is an analog timing parameter (see the AC table
in this datasheet) and is not the programmed value for tWR in the MRS.

Auto-Precharge Operation
Before a new row in an active bank can be opened, the active bank must be precharged using either the Pre-charge
Command or the Auto-Precharge function. When a Read or a Write Command is given to the DDR2 SDRAM, the 
timing accepts one extra address, column address A10, to allow the active bank to automatically begin precharge at the
earliest possible moment during the burst read or write cycle. If A10 is low when the Read or Write Command is issued,
then normal Read or Write burst operation is executed and the bank remains active at the completion of the burst sequence.
If A10 is high when the Read or Write Command is issued, then the Auto-Precharge function is enabled. During
Auto-Precharge, a Read Command will execute as normal with the exception that the active bank will begin to precharge
internally on the rising edge which is  Latency (CL) clock cycles before the end of the read burst. Auto-Precharge is
also implemented for Write Commands. The precharge operation engaged by the Auto-Precharge command will not begin
until the last data of the write burst sequence is properly stored in the memory array. This feature allows the precharge
operation to be partially or completely hidden during burst read cycles (dependent upon  Latency) thus improving
system performance for random data access. The RAS lockout circuit internally delays the precharge operation until the
array restore operation has been completed so that the Auto-Precharge command may be issued with any read or write

If A10 is high when a Read Command is issued, the Read with Auto-Precharge function is engaged. The DDR2 SDRAM
starts an Auto-Precharge operation on the rising edge which is (AL + BL/2) cycles later from the Read with AP command if
tRAS(min) and tRTP are satisfied. If tRAS(min) is not satisfied at the edge, the start point of Auto-Precharge operation will be
delayed until tRAS(min) is satisfied. If tRTP(min) is not satisfied at the edge, the start point of Auto-Precharge operation will
be delayed until tRTP(min) is satisfied.
In case the internal precharge is pushed out by tRTP, tRP starts at the point where the internal precharge happens (not at the
next rising clock edge after this event). So for BL = 4 the minimum time from Read with Auto-Precharge to the next Activate
command becomes AL + tRTP + tRP. For BL = 8 the time from Read with Auto-Precharge to the next Activate command is AL
+ 2 + tRTP + tRP. Note that both parameters tRTP and tRP have to be rounded up to the next integer value. In any event internal
precharge does not start earlier than two clocks after the last 4-bit prefetch.
A new bank active (command) may be issued to the same bank if the following two conditions are satisfied simultaneously:
(1) The  precharge time (tRP) has been satisfied from the clock at which the Auto-Precharge begins.
(2) The  cycle time (tRC) from the previous bank activation has been satisfied.

Burst Write with Auto-Precharge
If A10 is high when a Write Command is issued, the Write with Auto-Precharge function is engaged. The DDR2 SDRAM
automatically begins precharge operation after the completion of the write burst plus the write recovery time delay (WR),
programmed in the MRS register, as long as tRAS is satisfied. The bank undergoing Auto-Precharge from the completion of
the write burst may be reactivated if the following two conditions are satisfied.
(1) The last data-in to bank activate delay time (tDAL = WR + tRP) has been satisfied.
(2) The RAS cycle time (tRC) from the previous bank activation has been satisfied.

Refresh
SDRAMs require a refresh of all rows in any rolling 64 ms interval. Each refresh is generated in one of two ways: by an
explicit Auto-Refresh command, or by an internally timed event in Self-Refresh mode. Dividing the number of device rows
into the rolling 64 ms interval defined the average refresh interval tREFI, which is a guideline to controlles for distributed
refresh timing. For example, a 1Gbit DDR2 SDRAM has 8392 rows resulting in a tREFI of 7.8 µs.
Auto-Refresh Command
Auto-Refresh is used during normal operation of the DDR2 SDRAMs. This command is nonpersistent, so it must be issued
each time a refresh is required. The refresh addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This makes the
address bits ”Don‟t Care” during an Auto-Refresh command. The DDR2 SDRAM requires Auto-Refresh cycles at an
average periodic interval of tREFI (maximum).
When ,  and  are held low and  high at the rising edge of the clock, the chip enters the Auto-Refresh mode.
All banks of the SDRAM must be precharged and idle for a minimum of the precharge time (tRP) before the Auto-Refresh
Command can be applied. An internal address counter supplies the addresses 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
Auto-Refresh Command and the next Activate Command or subsequent Auto-Refresh Command must be greater than or
equal to the Auto-Refresh cycle time (tRFC).
To allow for improved efficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexibility in the absolute refresh interval
is provided. A maximum of eight Auto-Refresh commands can be posted to any given DDR2 SDRAM, meaning that the
maximum absolute interval between any Auto-Refresh command and the next Auto-Refresh command is 9 * tREFI.

Self-Refresh Command
The Self-Refresh command can be used to retain data, even if the rest of the system is powered down. When in the
Self-Refresh mode, the DDR2 SDRAM retains data without external clocking.
The DDR2 SDRAM device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self-Refresh operation. The Self-Refresh Command is
defined by having , ,  and  held low with  high at the rising edge of the clock. ODT must be turned off
before issuing Self Refresh command, by either driving ODT pin low or using EMRS (1) command. Once the command is
registered, CKE must be held low to keep the device in Self-Refresh mode. When the DDR2 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 change the external clock frequency or halt the external clock one
clock after Self-Refresh entry is registered, however, the clock must be restarted and stable before the device can exit
Self-Refresh operation. Once Self-Refresh Exit command is registered, a delay equal or longer than the tXSNR or tXSRD must
be satisfied before a valid command can be issued to the device. CKE must remain high for the entire Self-Refresh exit
period (tXSNR or tXSRD) for proper operation. NOP or DESELECT commands must be registered on each positive clock edge
during the Self-Refresh exit interval. Since the ODT function is not supported during Self-Refresh operation, ODT has to be
turned off tAOFD before entering Self-Refresh Mode and can be turned on again when the tXSRD timing is satisfied.

Power-Down
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 or extended mode register command time, or read or write operation is in progress.
CKE is allowed to go low while any other operation such as row activation, Precharge, Auto-Precharge or Auto-Refresh is
in progress, but power-down IDD specification will not be applied until finishing those operations.
The DLL should be in a locked state when power-down is entered. Otherwise DLL should be reset after exiting power-down
mode for proper read operation.
If power-down occurs when all banks are precharged, this mode is referred to as Precharge Power-down; if power-down
occurs when there is a row active in any bank, this mode is referred to as Active Power-down. For Active Power-down two
different power saving modes can be selected within the MRS register, address bit A12. When A12 is set to “low” this mode
is referred as “standard active power-down mode” and a fast power-down exit timing defined by the tXARD timing parameter
can be used. When A12 is set to “high” this mode is referred as a power saving “low power active power-down mode”. This
mode takes longer to exit from the power-down mode and the tXARDS timing parameter has to be satisfied.
Entering power-down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK, ODT and CKE. Also the DLL is disabled
upon entering Precharge Power-down or slow exit active power-down, but the DLL is kept enabled during fast exit active
power-down. In power-down mode, CKE low and a stable clock signal must be maintained at the inputs of the DDR2
SDRAM, and all other input signals are “Don‟t Care”. 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). A
valid, executable command can be applied with power-down exit latency, tXP, tXARD or tXARDS, after CKE goes high.
Power-down exit latencies are defined in the AC spec table of this data sheet.
Power-Down Entry
Active Power-down mode can be entered after an activate command. Precharge Power-down mode can be entered after a
precharge, Precharge-All or internal precharge command. It is also allowed to enter power-mode after an Auto-Refresh
command or MRS / EMRS(1) command when tMRD is satisfied.
Active Power-down mode entry is prohibited as long as a Read Burst is in progress, meaning CKE should be kept high until
the burst operation is finished. Therefore Active Power-Down mode entry after a Read or Read with Auto-Precharge
command is allowed after RL + BL/2 is satisfied.
Active Power-down mode entry is prohibited as long as a Write Burst and the internal write recovery is in progress. In case
of a write command, active power-down mode entry is allowed then WL + BL/2 + tWTR is satisfied.
In case of a write command with Auto-Precharge, Power-down mode entry is allowed after the internal precharge command
has been executed, which WL + BL/2 + WR is starting from the write with Auto-Precharge command. In case the DDR2
SDRAM enters the Precharge Power-down mode.

No Operation Command
The No Operation Command should be used in cases when the SDRAM is in a idle or a wait state. The purpose of the No
Operation Command is to prevent the SDRAM from registering any unwanted commands between operations. A No
Operation Command is registered when  is low with , , and  held high at the rising edge of the clock. A No
Operation Command will not terminate a previous operation that is still executing, such as a burst read or write cycle.
Deselect Command
The Deselect Command performs the same function as a No Operation Command. Deselect Command occurs when  is
brought high, the , , and  signals become don‟t care.
Input Clock Frequency Change
During operation the DRAM input clock frequency can be changed under the following conditions:
a) During Self-Refresh operation
b) DRAM is in Precharge Power-down mode and ODT is completely turned off.
The DDR2-SDRAM has to be in Precharged Power-down mode and idle. ODT must be allready turned off and CKE must
be at a logic “low” state. After a minimum of two clock cycles after tRP and tAOFD have been satisfied the input clock
frequency can be changed. A stable new clock frequency has to be provided, before CKE can be changed to a “high” logic
level again. After tXP has been satisfied a DLL RESET command via EMRS(1) has to be issued. During the following DLL
re-lock period of 200 clock cycles, ODT must remain off. After the DLL-re-lock period the DRAM is ready to operate with the
new clock frequency.

Asynchronous CKE Low Event
DRAM requires CKE to be maintained “high” for all valid operations as defined in this data sheet. If CKE asynchronously
drops “low” during any valid operation DRAM is not guaranteed to preserve the contents of the memory array. If this event
occurs, the memory controller must satisfy a time delay ( tdelay ) before turning off the clocks. Stable clocks must exist at the
input of DRAM before CKE is raised “high” again. The DRAM must be fully re-initialized as described the the initialization
sequence (section 2.2.1, step 4 thru 13). DRAM is ready for normal operation after the initialization sequence. See AC

1. All DDR2 SDRAM commands are defined by states of , , , , and CKE at the rising edge of the clock.
2. Bank addresses (BAx) determine which bank is to be operated upon. For (E) MRS BAx selects an (Extended) Mode Register.
3. Burst reads or writes at BL = 4 cannot be terminated. See sections "Reads interrupted by a Read" and "Writes interrupted by a Write" inspection for details.
4. The Power Down Mode does not perform any refresh operations. The duration of Power Down is therefore limited by the refresh requirements outlined.
5. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh.
6. X means "H or L (but a defined logic level)".
7. Self refresh exit is asynchronous.
8. Vref must be maintained during Self Refresh operation.

12. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh.
13. The Power-Down Mode does not perform any refresh operations. The duration of Power-Down Mode is therefore limited by the refresh requirements.
14. CKE must be maintained high while the device is in OCD calibration mode.
15. "X" means "don't care (including floating around VREF)" in Self Refresh and Power Down. However DT must be driven high or low in Power Down if the ODT function is enabled
(Bit A2 or A6 set to "1" in MRS(1)).
16. Vref must be maintained during Self Refresh operation

1. Operating temperature is the case surface temperature on the center/top side of the DRAM.
2. The operation temperature range is the temperature where all DRAM specification will be supported. Outside of this temperature range, even if it is still within the limit
of stress condition, some deviation on portion of operation specification may be required. During operation, the DRAM case temperature must be maintained between 0
-85 under all other specification parameter. However, in some applications, it is desirable to operate the DRAM up to 95 case temperature. Therefore, two
spec. may exist.
Supporting 0-85 with full JEDEC AC & DC spec. This is the minimum requirements for all operating temperature options.
This is an optional feature and not required. Supporting 0-85 and being able to extend to 95 with doubling auto-refresh command in frequency to a 32ms

Currently the period Self-Refresh interval is hard coded within the DRAM to a vendor specific value. There is a migration plan to support higher temperature
Self-Refresh entry via the control of EMRS (2) bit A7.

DC & AC Logic Input Levels
DDR2 SDRAM pin timing are specified for either single ended or differential mode depending on the setting of the
EMRS(1) “Enable DQS” mode bit; timing advantages of differential mode are realized in system design. The method by
which the DDR2 SDRAM pin timing are measured is mode dependent. In single ended mode, timing relationships are
measured relative to the rising or falling edges of DQS crossing at VREF. In differential mode, these timing relationships
are measured relative to the cross point of DQS and its complement, DQS. This distinction in timing methods is guaranteed
by design and characterization. In single ended mode, the DQS (and RDQS) signals are internally disabled and don‟t care.

Calibrated Output Driver V-I Characteristics
DDR2 SDRAM output driver characteristics are defined for full strength calibrated operation as selected by the procedure
outlined in the Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Impedance Adjustment. The following tables show the data in tabular format suitable
for input into simulation tools. The nominal points represent a device at exactly 18 ohms. The nominal low and nominal high
values represent the range that can be achieved with a maximum 1.5 ohms step size with no calibration error at the exact
nominal conditions only (i.e. perfect calibration procedure, 1.5 ohm maximum step size guaranteed by specification). Real
system calibration error needs to be added to these values. It must be understood that these V-I curves are represented
here or in supplier IBIS models need to be adjusted to a wider range as a result of any system calibration error. Since this a
system specific phenomena, it cannot be quantified here. the values in the calibrated tables represent just the DRAM
portion of uncertainty while looking at one DQ only. If the calibration procedure is used, it is possible to cause the device to
operate outside the bounds of the default device characteristics tables and figure. in such a situation, the timing parameters
in the specification cannot be guaranteed. It is solely up to the system application to ensure that the device is calibrated
between the minimum and maximum default values at all times. If this can‟t be guaranteed by the system calibration
procedure, re-calibration policy and uncertainty with DQ to DQ variation, it is recommend that only the default values to be
used. The nominal maximum and minimum values represent the change in impedance from nominal low and high as a
result of voltage and temperature change from the nominal condition to the maximum and minimum conditions. If calibrated
at an extreme condition, the amount of variation could be as much as from the nominal minimum to the nominal maximum
or vice versa.

Reference Loads, Setup & Hold Timing Definition and Slew Rate Derating
Reference Load for Timing Measurements
The figure represents the timing reference load used in defining the relevant timing parameters of the device. It is not
intended to either a precise representation of the typical 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 a coaxial transmission line
terminated at the tester electronics. This reference load is also used for output slew rate characterization.

The output timing reference voltage level for single ended signals is the cross point with VTT.
The output timing reference voltage level for differential signals is the cross point of the true (e.g. DQS) and the
complement (e.g. ) signal.

Slew rate Measurements
Output Slew rate
With the reference load for timing measurements output slew rate for falling and rising edges is measured between VTT -
250 mV and VTT + 250 mV for single ended signals. For differential signals (e.g. DQS / ) output slew rate is measured
between DQS -  = - 500 mV and DQS -  = + 500 mV. Output slew rate is guaranteed by design, but is not
necessarily tested on each device.
Input Slew rate - Differential signals
Input slew rate for differential signals (CK / , DQS / , RDQS / ) for rising edges are measured from CK - =
-250 mV to CK - = + 500 mV and from CK - CK = +250 mV to CK - CK = - 500mV for falling edges.
Input Slew rate - Single ended signals
Input slew rate for single ended signals (other than tis, tih, tds and tdh) are measured from dc-level to ac-level: VREF -125
mV to VREF + 250 mV for rising edges and from VREF + 125 mV to VREF - 250 mV for falling edges. For slew rate
definition of the input and data setup and hold parameters see section 8.3 of this datasheet.
Input and Data Setup and Hold Time
Timing Definition for Input Setup (tIS) and Hold Time (tIH)
Address and control input setup time (tIS) is referenced from the input signal crossing at the VIH(ac) level for a rising signal
and VIL(ac) for a falling signal applied to the device under test. Address and control input hold time (tIH) is referenced from
the input signal crossing at the VIL(dc) level for a rising signal and VIH(dc) for a falling signal applied to the device under test

Slew Rate Definition for Input and Data Setup and Hold Times
Setup (tIS & tDS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIH(dc)min
and the first crossing of VIH(ac)min. Setup (tIS & tDS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate
between the last crossing of VIL(dc)max and the first crossing of VIL(ac)max, (fig. A) If the actual signal is always earlier
than the nominal slew rate line between shaded 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 „dc to ac region‟, the slew rate of a tangent line to
the actual signal from the ac level to dc level is used for derating value.(fig.B)
Hold (tIH & 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. Hold (tIH & 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.(fig. A). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew
rate line between shaded „dc to Vref 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 region‟, the slew rate of a tangent line to the actual signal from
the dc level to Vref level is used for derating value.(fig.B)
