MOBILE SDRAM
ADVANCE
The 256Mb SDRAM uses an internal pipelined ar-
chitecture to achieve high-speed operation. This ar-
chitecture is compatible with the 2n rule of prefetch
architectures, but it also allows the column address to
be changed on every clock cycle to achieve a high-
speed, fully random access. Precharging one bank
while accessing one of the other three banks will hide
the precharge cycles and provide seamless, high-
speed, random-access operation.
The 256Mb SDRAM is designed to operate in 2.5V
and 1.8V memory systems. An auto refresh mode is
provided, along with a power-saving, power-down
mode. All inputs and outputs are LVTTL-compatible.
SDRAMs offer substantial advances in DRAM oper-
ating performance, including the ability to synchro-
nously burst data at a high data rate with automatic
column-address generation, the ability to interleave
between internal banks to hide precharge time and
the capability to randomly change column addresses
on each clock cycle during a burst access.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 256Mb SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS,
dynamic random-access memory containing
268,435,456 bits. It is internally configured as a quad-
bank DRAM with a synchronous interface (all signals
are registered on the positive edge of the clock signal,
CLK). Each of the x16’s 67,108,864-bit banks is orga-
nized as 8,192 rows by 512 columns by 16 bits.
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst
oriented; accesses start at a selected location and con-
tinue for a programmed number of locations in a pro-
grammed sequence. Accesses begin with the registra-
tion of an ACTIVE command, which is then followed by
a READ or WRITE command. The address bits regis-
tered coincident with the ACTIVE command are used
to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0, BA1
select the bank; A0–A12 select the row). The address
bits registered coincident with the READ or WRITE com-
mand are used to select the starting column location
for the burst access.
The SDRAM provides for programmable READ or
WRITE burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, or 8 locations, or the full
page, with a burst terminate option. An auto precharge
function may be enabled to provide a self-timed row
precharge that is initiated at the end of the burst se-
quence.

BALL DESCRIPTIONS
54-BALL FBGA SYMBOL TYPE DESCRIPTION
F2 CLK Input Clock: CLK is driven by the system clock. All SDRAM input signals are sampled
on the positive edge of CLK. CLK also increments the internal burst counter
and controls the output registers.
F3 CKE Input Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CLK signal.
Deactivating the clock provides PRECHARGE POWER-DOWN and SELF REFRESH
operation (all banks idle), ACTIVE POWER-DOWN (row active in any bank) or
CLOCK SUSPEND operation (burst/access in progress). CKE is synchronous except
after the device enters power-down and self refresh modes, where CKE
becomes asynchronous until after exiting the same mode. The input buffers,
including CLK, are disabled during power-down and self refresh modes,
providing low standby power. CKE may be tied HIGH.
G9 CS# Input Chip Select: CS# enables (registered LOW) and disables (registered HIGH) the
command decoder. All commands are masked when CS# is registered HIGH. CS#
provides for external bank selection on systems with multiple banks. CS# is
considered part of the command code.
F7, F8, F9 CAS#, RAS#, Input Command Inputs: CAS#, RAS#, and WE# (along with CS#) define the
WE# command being entered.
E8, F1 LDQM, Input Input/Output Mask: DQM is sampled HIGH and is an input mask signal for
UDQM write accesses and an output enable signal for read accesses. Input data is
masked during a WRITE cycle. The output buffers are placed in a High-Z state
(two-clock latency) when during a READ cycle. LDQM corresponds to DQ0–DQ7,
UDQM corresponds to DQ8–DQ15. LDQM and UDQM are considered same
state when referenced as DQM.
G7, G8 BA0, BA1 Input Bank Address Input(s): BA0 and BA1 define to which bank the ACTIVE, READ,
WRITE or PRECHARGE command is being applied. These pins also provide the
op-code during a LOAD MODE REGISTER command
H7, H8, J8, J7, J3, J2, A0–A12 Input Address Inputs: A0–A12 are sampled during the ACTIVE command (row-
H3, H2, H1, G3, H9, G2,G1 address A0–A12) and READ/WRITE command (column-address A0–A8; with A10
defining auto precharge) to select one location out of the memory array in the
respective bank. A10 is sampled during a PRECHARGE command to determine if
all banks are to be precharged (A10 HIGH) or bank selected by BA0, BA1 (LOW).
The address inputs also provide the op-code during a LOAD MODE REGISTER
command.
A8, B9, B8, C9, C8, D9, DQ0–DQ15 I/O Data Input/Output: Data bus

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
In general, the 256Mb SDRAMs (4 Meg x 16 x 4 banks)
are quad-bank DRAMs that operate at 2.5V or 1.8V and
include a synchronous interface (all signals are regis-
tered on the positive edge of the clock signal, CLK).
Each of the x16’s 67,108,864-bit banks is organized as
8,192 rows by 512 columns by 16 bits.
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst
oriented; accesses start at a selected location and con-
tinue for a programmed number of locations in a pro-
grammed sequence. Accesses begin with the registra-
tion of an ACTIVE command, which is then followed by
a READ or WRITE command. The address bits regis-
tered coincident with the ACTIVE command are used
to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0 and BA1
select the bank, A0–A12 select the row). The address
bits ( x16: A0–A8) registered coincident with the READ
or WRITE command are used to select the starting col-
umn location for the burst access.
Prior to normal operation, the SDRAM must be ini-
tialized. The following sections provide detailed infor-
mation covering device initialization, register defini-
tion, command descriptions and device operation.
Initialization
SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a
predefined manner. Operational procedures other
than those specified may result in undefined opera-
tion. Once power is applied to VDD and VDDQ (simulta-
neously) and the clock is stable (stable clock is defined
as a signal cycling within timing constraints specified
for the clock pin), the SDRAM requires a 100µs delay
prior to issuing any command other than a
COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP. CKE must be held high
during the entire initialization period until the
PRECHARGE command has been issued. Starting at
some point during this 100µs period and continuing at
least through the end of this period, COMMAND IN-
HIBIT or NOP commands should be applied.
Once the 100µs delay has been satisfied with at
least one COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP command hav-
ing been applied, a PRECHARGE command should be
applied. All banks must then be precharged, thereby
placing the device in the all banks idle state.
Once in the idle state, two AUTO REFRESH cycles
must be performed. After the AUTO REFRESH cycles
are complete, the SDRAM is ready for mode register
programming. Because the mode register will power
up in an unknown state, it should be loaded prior to
applying any operational command.
REGISTER DEFINITION
Mode Register
The mode register is used to define the specific mode
of operation of the SDRAM. This definition includes
the selection of a burst length, a burst type, a CAS
latency, an operating mode and a write burst mode, as
shown in Figure 1. The mode register is programmed
via the LOAD MODE REGISTER command and will re-
tain the stored information until it is programmed again
or the device loses power.
Mode register bits M0–M2 specify the burst length,
M3 specifies the type of burst (sequential or inter-
leaved), M4–M6 specify the CAS latency, M7 and M8
specify the operating mode, M9 specifies the write burst
mode, and M10, M11, and M12 should be set to zero.
M13and M14 should be set to zero to prevent extended
mode reister.
The mode register must be loaded when all banks
are idle, and the controller must wait the specified time
before initiating the subsequent operation. Violating
either of these requirements will result in unspecified
operation.
Burst Length
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst
oriented, with the burst length being programmable,
as shown in Figure 1. The burst length determines the
maximum number of column locations that can be ac-
cessed for a given READ or WRITE command. Burst
lengths of 1, 2, 4 or 8 locations are available for both the
sequential and the interleaved burst types, and a full-
page burst is available for the sequential type. The
full-page burst is used in conjunction with the BURST
TERMINATE command to generate arbitrary burst
lengths.
Reserved states should not be used, as unknown
operation or incompatibility with future versions may
result.
When a READ or WRITE command is issued, a block
of columns equal to the burst length is effectively se-
lected. All accesses for that burst take place within this
block, meaning that the burst will wrap within the block
if a boundary is reached. The block is uniquely se-
lected by A1–A8 (x16) when the burst length is set to
two; by A2–A8 (x16) when the burst length is set to four;
and by A3–A8 (x16) when the burst length is set to
eight. The remaining (least significant) address bit(s)
is (are) used to select the starting location within the
block. Full-page bursts wrap within the page if the
boundary is reached.

Burst Type
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed
to be either sequential or interleaved; this is referred to
as the burst type and is selected via bit M3.
The ordering of accesses within a burst is deter-
mined by the burst length, the burst type and the start-
ing column address, as shown in Table 1.

DON’T CARE
Reserved states should not be used as unknown
operation or incompatibility with future versions may
result.
Operating Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by setting
M7 and M8 to zero; the other combinations of values for
M7 and M8 are reserved for future use and/or test
modes. The programmed burst length applies to both
READ and WRITE bursts.
Test modes and reserved states should not be used
because unknown operation or incompatibility with
future versions may result.
Write Burst Mode
When M9 = 0, the burst length programmed via M0-
M2 applies to both READ and WRITE bursts; when M9
= 1, the programmed burst length applies to READ
bursts, but write accesses are single-location (nonburst)
accesses.
CAS Latency
The CAS latency is the delay, in clock cycles, be-
tween the registration of a READ command and the
availability of the first piece of output data. The la-
tency can be set to two or three clocks.
If a READ command is registered at clock edge n,
and the latency is m clocks, the data will be available by
clock edge n + m. The DQs will start driving as a result of
the clock edge one cycle earlier (n + m - 1), and provided
that the relevant access times are met, the data will be
valid by clock edge n + m. For example, assuming that
the clock cycle time is such that all relevant access times
are met, if a READ command is registered at T0 and the
latency is programmed to two clocks, the DQs will start
driving after T1 and the data will be valid by T2, as
shown in Figure 2. Table 2 below indicates the operat-
ing frequencies at which each CAS latency setting can
be used.

EXTENDED MODE REGISTER
The Extended Mode Register controls the functions
beyond those controlled by the Mode Register. These
additional functions are special features of the
BATRAM device. They include Temperature Compen-
sated Self Refresh (TCSR) Control, and Partial Array
Self Refresh (PASR).
The Extended Mode Register is programmed via
the Mode Register Set command (BA1=1,BA0=0) and
retains the stored information until it is programmed
again or the device loses power.
The Extended Mode Register must be programmed
with M6 through M12 set to “0”. The Extended Mode
Register must be loaded when all banks are idle and no
bursts are in progress, and the controller must wait the
specified time before before initiating any subsequent
operation. Violating either of these requirements re-
sults in unspecified operation.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED SELF REFRESH
Temperature Compensated Self Refresh allows the
controller to program the Refresh interval during SELF
REFRESH mode, according to the case temperature of
the BATRAM device. This allows great power savings
during SELF REFRESH during most operating tempera-
ture ranges. Only during extreme temperatures would
the controller have to select a TCSR level that will guar-
antee data during SELF REFRESH.
Every cell in the DRAM requires refreshing due to
the capacitor losing its charge over time. The refresh
rate is dependent on temperature. At higher tempera-
tures a capacitor loses charge quicker than at lower
temperatures, requiring the cells to be refreshed more
often. Historically, during Self Refresh, the refresh rate
has been set to accomodate the worst case, or highest
temperature range expected.

Thus, during ambiant temperatures, the power con-
sumed during refresh was unnecessarily high, because
the refresh rate was set to accommodate the higher
temperatures. Setting M4 and M3, allow the DRAM to
accomodate more specific temperature regions during
SELF REFRESH. There are four temperature settings,
which will vary the SELF REFRESH current according to
the selected temperature. This selectable refresh rate
will save power when the DRAM is operating at normal
temperatures.
PARTIAL ARRAY SELF REFRESH
For further power savings during SELF REFRESH,
the PASR feature allows the controller to select the
amount of memory that will be refreshed during SELF
REFRESH. The refresh options are Four Bank;all four
banks, Two Bank;banks 0 and 1, One Bank;bank 0, Half
Bank; bank 0 with row address MSB 0; Quarter Bank;
bank 0 with row address 2 MSB’s 0. WRITE and READ
commands can still occur during standard operation,
but only the selected banks will be refreshed during
SELF REFRESH. Data in banks that are disabled will be
lost.
DEEP POWER DOWN
Deep Power Down is an operating mode to achieve
maximum power reduction by eliminating the power
of the whole memory array of the devices. Data will not
be retained once the device enters Deep Power Down
Mode.
This mode is entered by having all banks idle then
/CS and /WE held low with /RAS and /CAS held high at
the rising edge of the clock, while CKE is low. This mode
is exited by asserting CKE high.
DRIVER STRENGTH
Bit A5 of the extended mode register can be used to
select the driver strength of the DQ outputs. This value
should be set according to the applications require-
ments. Full drive strength is suitable to drive outputs
on systems in which the SDRAM component is placed
on a module. Full drive strength will drive loads up to
50pF.
The half-drive strength can be used for point-to-
point applications. Point-to-point systems are usually
lightly loaded with a memory controller accessing one
to eight SDRAM components on the memory bus with
module stubs between these devices. Driver strength
chosen should be load dependent. The lighter the load,
the less driver strength that is needed for the outputs.

COMMAND INHIBIT
The COMMAND INHIBIT function prevents new
commands from being executed by the SDRAM, re-
gardless of whether the CLK signal is enabled. The
SDRAM is effectively deselected. Operations already
in progress are not affected.
NO OPERATION (NOP)
The NO OPERATION (NOP) command is used to
perform a NOP to an SDRAM which is selected (CS# is
LOW). This prevents unwanted commands from being
registered during idle or wait states. Operations already
in progress are not affected.
LOAD MODE REGISTER
The mode register is loaded via inputs A0-A12 (A13
and A14 should be driven LOW to prevent Extended
Mode Register.) See mode register heading in the Reg-
ister Definition section. The LOAD MODE REGISTER
command can only be issued when all banks are idle,
and a subsequent executable command cannot be is-
sued until tMRD is met.
ACTIVE
The ACTIVE command is used to open (or activate)
a row in a particular bank for a subsequent access. The
value on the BA0, BA1 inputs selects the bank, and the
address provided on inputs A0-A12 selects the row.
This row remains active (or open) for accesses until a
PRECHARGE command is issued to that bank. A
PRECHARGE command must be issued before open-
ing a different row in the same bank.
READ
The READ command is used to initiate a burst read
access to an active row. The value on the BA0, BA1
inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on
inputs A0-A8 (x16) selects the starting column location.
The value on input A10 determines whether or not auto
precharge is used. If auto precharge is selected, the row
being accessed will be precharged at the end of the
READ burst; if auto precharge is not selected, the row
will remain open for subsequent accesses. Read data
appears on the DQs subject to the logic level on the
DQM inputs two clocks earlier. If a given DQM signal
was registered HIGH, the corresponding DQs will be
High-Z two clocks later; if the DQM signal was regis-
tered LOW, the DQs will provide valid data.
WRITE
The WRITE command is used to initiate a burst write
access to an active row. The value on the BA0, BA1
inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on
inputs A0-A8 (x16) selects the starting column location.
The value on input A10 determines whether or not
auto precharge is used. If auto precharge is selected,
the row being accessed will be precharged at the end of
the WRITE burst; if auto precharge is not selected, the
row will remain open for subsequent accesses. Input
data appearing on the DQs is written to the memory
array subject to the DQM input logic level appearing
coincident with the data. If a given DQM signal is regis-
tered LOW, the corresponding data will be written to
memory; if the DQM signal is registered HIGH, the
corresponding data inputs will be ignored, and a WRITE
will not be executed to that byte/column location.
PRECHARGE
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 access a specified time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE
command is issued. Input A10 determines whether
one or all banks are to be precharged, and in the case
where only one bank is to be precharged, inputs BA0,
BA1 select the bank. Otherwise BA0, BA1 are treated as
“Don’t Care.” 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.
AUTO PRECHARGE
Auto precharge is a feature which performs the
same individual-bank PRECHARGE function de-
scribed above, without requiring an explicit command.
This is accomplished by using A10 to enable auto
precharge in conjunction with a specific READ or WRITE
command. A PRECHARGE of the bank/row that is ad-
dressed with the READ or WRITE command is auto-
matically performed upon completion of the READ or
WRITE burst, except in the full-page burst mode, where
AUTO PRECHARGE does not apply. Auto precharge is
nonpersistent in that it is either enabled or disabled for
each individual READ or WRITE command.
Auto precharge ensures that the precharge is initi-
ated at the earliest valid stage within a burst. The user
must not issue another command to the same bank
until the precharge time (tRP) is completed. This is
determined as if an explicit PRECHARGE command
was issued at the earliest possible time, as described
for each burst type in the Operation section of this data
sheet.
AUTO REFRESH
AUTO REFRESH is used during normal operation of
the SDRAM and is analogous to CAS#-BEFORE-RAS#
(CBR) REFRESH in conventional DRAMs. This

command is nonpersistent, so it must be issued each
time a refresh is required. All active banks must be
precharged prior to issuing an AUTO REFRESH com-
mand. The AUTO REFRESH command should not be
issued until the minimum tRP has been met after the
PRECHARGE command as shown in the operations sec-
tion.
The addressing is generated by the internal refresh
controller. This makes the address bits “Don’t Care”
during an AUTO REFRESH command. The 256Mb
SDRAM requires 8,192 AUTO REFRESH cycles every
64ms (tREF), regardless of width option. Providing a
distributed AUTO REFRESH command every 7.81µs
will meet the refresh requirement and ensure that each
row is refreshed. Alternatively, 8,192 AUTO REFRESH
commands can be issued in a burst at the minimum
cycle rate (tRC), once every 64ms.
SELF REFRESH
The SELF REFRESH command can be used to retain
data in the SDRAM, even if the rest of the system is
powered down. When in the self refresh mode, the
SDRAM retains data without external clocking.
The SELF REFRESH command is initiated like an AUTO
REFRESH command except CKE is disabled (LOW).
Once the SELF REFRESH command is registered, all
the inputs to the SDRAM become “Don’t Care” with
the exception of CKE, which must remain LOW.
Once self refresh mode is engaged, the SDRAM pro-
vides its own internal clocking, causing it to perform its
own AUTO REFRESH cycles. The SDRAM must remain
in self refresh mode for a minimum period equal to
tRAS and may remain in self refresh mode for an indefi-
nite period beyond that.
The procedure for exiting self refresh requires a se-
quence of commands. First, CLK must be stable (stable
clock is defined as a signal cycling within timing con-
straints specified for the clock pin) prior to CKE going
back HIGH. Once CKE is HIGH, the SDRAM must have
NOP commands issued (a minimum of two clocks) for
tXSR because time is required for the completion of any
internal refresh in progress.
Upon exiting the self refresh mode, AUTO REFRESH
commands must be issued every 7.81µs or less as both
SELF REFRESH and AUTO REFRESH utilize the row
refresh counter.

BANK/ROW ACTIVATION
Before any READ or WRITE commands can be is-
sued to a bank within the SDRAM, a row in that bank
must be “opened.” This is accomplished via the AC-
TIVE command, which selects both the bank and the
row to be activated (see Figure 3).
After opening a row (issuing an ACTIVE command),
a READ or WRITE command may be issued to that row,
subject to the tRCD specification. tRCD (MIN) should
be divided by the clock period and rounded up to the
next whole number to determine the earliest clock edge
after the ACTIVE command on which a READ or WRITE
command can be entered. For example, a tRCD specifi-
cation of 20ns with a 125 MHz clock (8ns period) results
in 2.5 clocks, rounded to 3. This is reflected in Figure 4,
which covers any case where 2 < tRCD (MIN)/tCK 3.
(The same procedure is used to convert other specifi-
cation limits from time units to clock cycles.)
A subsequent ACTIVE command to a different row
in the same bank can only be issued after the previous
active row has been “closed” (precharged). The mini-
mum time interval between successive ACTIVE com-
mands to the same bank is defined by tRC.
A subsequent ACTIVE command to another bank
can be issued while the first bank is being accessed,
which results in a reduction of total row-access over-
head. The minimum time interval between successive
ACTIVE commands to different banks is defined by
tRRD.

Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other com-
mands have been initiated, the DQs will go High-Z. A
full-page burst will continue until terminated. (At the
end of the page, it will wrap to the start address and
continue.)
Data from any READ burst may be truncated with a
subsequent READ command, and data from a fixed-
length READ burst may be immediately followed by
data from a READ command. In either case, a continu-
ous flow of data can be maintained. The first data ele-
ment from the new burst follows either the last ele-
ment of a completed burst or the last desired data ele-
ment of a longer burst that is being truncated. The new
READ command should be issued x cycles before the
clock edge at which the last desired data element is
valid, where x equals the CAS latency minus one.
READs
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command,
as shown in Figure 5.
The starting column and bank addresses are pro-
vided with the READ command, and auto precharge is
either enabled or disabled for that burst access. If auto
precharge is enabled, the row being accessed is
precharged at the completion of the burst. For the ge-
neric READ commands used in the following illustra-
tions, auto precharge is disabled.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element
from the starting column address will be available fol-
lowing the CAS latency after the READ command. Each
subsequent data-out element will be valid by the next
positive clock edge. Figure 6 shows general timing for
each possible CAS latency setting.

NOTE: A CAS latency of three is used for illustration. The
READ
command may be to any bank, and the WRITE command
may be to any bank. If a burst of one is used, then DQM is
not required.
Data from any READ burst may be truncated with a
subsequent WRITE command, and data from a fixed-
length READ burst may be immediately followed by
data from a WRITE command (subject to bus turn-
around limitations). The WRITE burst may be initiated
on the clock edge immediately following the last (or last
desired) data element from the READ burst, provided
that I/O contention can be avoided. In a given system
design, there may be a possibility that the device driv-
ing the input data will go Low-Z before the SDRAM DQs
go High-Z. In this case, at least a single-cycle delay
should occur between the last read data and the WRITE
command.
The DQM input is used to avoid I/O contention, as
shown in Figures 9 and 10. The DQM signal must be
asserted (HIGH) at least two clocks prior to the WRITE
command (DQM latency is two clocks for output
buffers) to suppress data-out from the READ. Once the
WRITE command is registered, the DQs will go High-Z
(or remain High-Z), regardless of the state of the DQM
signal; provided the DQM was active on the clock just
prior to the WRITE command that truncated the READ
command. If not, the second WRITE will be an invalid
WRITE. For example, if DQM was LOW during T4 in
Figure 10, then the WRITEs at T5 and T7 would be
valid, while the WRITE at T6 would be invalid.
The DQM signal must be de-asserted prior to the
WRITE command (DQM latency is zero clocks for input
buffers) to ensure that the written data is not masked.
Figure 9 shows the case where the clock frequency al-
lows for bus contention to be avoided without adding a
NOP cycle, and Figure 10 shows the case where the
additional NOP is needed.

READ to PRECHARGE
A fixed-length READ burst may be followed by, or
truncated with, a PRECHARGE command to the same
bank (provided that auto precharge was not acti-
vated), and a full-page burst may be truncated with a
PRECHARGE command to the same bank. The
PRECHARGE command should be issued x cycles be-
fore the clock edge at which the last desired data ele-
ment is valid, where x equals the CAS latency minus
one. This is shown in Figure 11 for each possible CAS
latency; data element n + 3 is either the last of a burst of
four or the last desired of a longer burst. Following the
PRECHARGE command, a subsequent command to
the same bank cannot be issued until tRP is met. Note
that part of the row precharge time is hidden during
the access of the last data element(s).
In the case of a fixed-length burst being executed to

Terminating a READ Burst
PRECHARGE command is that it requires that the com-
mand and address buses be available at the appropri-
ate time to issue the command; the advantage of the
PRECHARGE command is that it can be used to trun-
cate fixed-length or full-page bursts.
Full-page READ bursts can be truncated with the
BURST TERMINATE command, and fixed-length READ
bursts may be truncated with a BURST TERMINATE
command, provided that auto precharge was not acti-
vated. The BURST TERMINATE command should be
issued x cycles before the clock edge at which the last
desired data element is valid, where x equals the CAS
latency minus one. This is shown in Figure 12 for each
possible CAS latency; data element n + 3 is the last
desired data element of a longer burst.

WRITEs
WRITE bursts are initiated with a WRITE command,
as shown in Figure 13.
The starting column and bank addresses are pro-
vided with the WRITE command, and auto precharge
is either enabled or disabled for that access. If auto
precharge is enabled, the row being accessed is
precharged at the completion of the burst. For the ge-
neric WRITE commands used in the following illustra-
tions, auto precharge is disabled.
During WRITE bursts, the first valid data-in ele-
ment will be registered coincident with the WRITE com-
mand. Subsequent data elements will be registered on
each successive positive clock edge. Upon completion
of a fixed-length burst, assuming no other commands
have been initiated, the DQs will remain High-Z and
any additional input data will be ignored (see Figure
14). A full-page burst will continue until terminated.
(At the end of the page, it will wrap to the start address
and continue.)
Data for any WRITE burst may be truncated with a
subsequent WRITE command, and data for a fixed-
length WRITE burst may be immediately followed by
data for a WRITE command. The new WRITE command
can be issued on any clock following the previous WRITE
command, and the data provided coincident with the
new command applies to the new command. An ex-
Figure 15
WRITE to WRITE
ample is shown in Figure 15. Data n + 1 is either the last
of a burst of two or the last desired of a longer burst. The
256Mb SDRAM uses a pipelined architecture and there-
fore does not require the 2n rule associated with a
prefetch architecture. A WRITE command can be initi-
ated on any clock cycle following a previous WRITE
command. Full-speed random write accesses within a
page can be performed to the same bank, as shown in
Figure 16, or each subsequent WRITE may be per-
formed to a different bank.

requires a tWR of at least one clock plus time, regardless
of frequency. In addition, when truncating a WRITE
burst, the DQM signal must be used to mask input data
for the clock edge prior to, and the clock edge coinci-
dent with, the PRECHARGE command. An example is
shown in Figure 18. Data n + 1 is either the last of a burst
of two or the last desired of a longer burst. Following the
PRECHARGE command, a subsequent command to
the same bank cannot be issued until tRP is met. The
precharge can be issued coincident with the first coin-
cident clock edge (T2 in Figure 18) on an A1 Version and
with the second clock on an A2 Version (Figure 18.)
In the case of a fixed-length burst being executed to
completion, a PRECHARGE command issued at the
optimum time (as described above) provides the same
operation that would result from the same fixed-length
burst with auto precharge. The disadvantage of the
PRECHARGE command is that it requires that the com-
mand and address buses be available at the appropri-
ate time to issue the command; the advantage of the
PRECHARGE command is that it can be used to trun-
cate fixed-length or full-page bursts.

Fixed-length or full-page WRITE bursts can be trun-
cated with the BURST TERMINATE command. When
truncating a WRITE burst, the input data applied coin-

PRECHARGE
The PRECHARGE command (see Figure 20) 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 access some specified time (tRP) af-
ter the PRECHARGE command is issued. Input A10
determines whether one or all banks are to be
precharged, and in the case where only one bank is to
be precharged, inputs BA0, BA1 select the bank. When
all banks are to be precharged, inputs BA0, BA1 are
treated as “Don’t Care.” 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.
POWER-DOWN
Power-down occurs if CKE is registered LOW coinci-
dent with a NOP or COMMAND INHIBIT when no ac-
cesses are in progress. If power-down occurs when all
banks are idle, 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. Entering power-down deactivates the in-
put and output buffers, excluding CKE, for maximum
power savings while in standby. CKE must be held low
during power down. The device may not remain in the
power-down state longer than the refresh period
(64ms) since no refresh operations are performed in
this mode.
The power-down state is exited by registering a NOP
or COMMAND INHIBIT and CKE HIGH at the desired
clock edge (meeting tCKS). See Figure 21.

CLOCK SUSPEND
The clock suspend mode occurs when a column ac-
cess/burst is in progress and CKE is registered LOW. In
the clock suspend mode, the internal clock is deacti-
vated, “freezing” the synchronous logic.
For each positive clock edge on which CKE is
sampled LOW, the next internal positive clock edge is
suspended. Any command or data present on the in-
put pins at the time of a suspended internal clock edge
is ignored; any data present on the DQ pins remains
driven; and burst counters are not incremented, as
long as the clock is suspended. (See examples in Fig-
ures 22 and 23.)
Clock suspend mode is exited by registering CKE
HIGH; the internal clock and related operation will re-
sume on the subsequent positive clock edge.
DEEP POWER-DOWN
Deep Power Down mode is a maximum power sav-
ings feature achieved by shutting off the power to the
entire memory array of the device. Data will not be
retained once Deep Power Down mode is executed.
Deep Power Down mode is entered by having all banks
idle then /CS and /WE held low with /RAS and /CAS
high at the rising edge of the clock, while CKE is low.CKE
must be held low during Deep Power Down.
In order to exit Deep Power Down mode, CKE must
be asserted high. After exiting, the following sequence
is needed in order to enter a new command. Maintain
NOP input conditions for a minimum of 200us. Issue
PRECHARGE commands for all banks. Issue eight or
more AUTOREFRESH commands. Issue a MODE REG-
ISTER set command to initialize mode register. Issue a
EXTENDED MODE REGISTER set command to initial-
ize the extended mode register. See Figure 21A.

BURST READ/SINGLE WRITE
The burst read/single write mode is entered by pro-
gramming the write burst mode bit (M9) in the mode
register to a logic 1. In this mode, all WRITE commands
result in the access of a single column location (burst of
one), regardless of the programmed burst length. READ
commands access columns according to the pro-
grammed burst length and sequence, just as in the
normal mode of operation (M9 = 0).

CONCURRENT AUTO PRECHARGE
An access command (READ or WRITE) to another
bank while an access command with auto precharge
enabled is executing is not allowed by SDRAMs,
unless the SDRAM supports CONCURRENT AUTO
PRECHARGE. Micron SDRAMs support CONCURRENT
AUTO PRECHARGE. Four cases where CONCURRENT
AUTO PRECHARGE occurs are defined below.
READ with Auto Precharge
1. Interrupted by a READ (with or without auto
precharge): A READ to bank m will interrupt a READ
on bank n, CAS latency later. The PRECHARGE to
bank n will begin when the READ to bank m is regis-
tered (Figure 24).
2. Interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto
precharge): A WRITE to bank m will interrupt a READ
on bank n when registered. DQM should be used
two clocks prior to the WRITE command to prevent
bus contention. The PRECHARGE to bank n will
begin when the WRITE to bank m is registered (Fig-
ure 25).

3. Current state definitions:
Idle: The bank has been precharged, and tRP has been met.
Row Active: A row in the bank has been activated, and tRCD has been met. No data bursts/accesses and no
register accesses are in progress.
Read: A READ burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled, and has not yet terminated or
been terminated.
Write: A WRITE burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled, and has not yet terminated
or been terminated.
4. The following states must not be interrupted by a command issued to the same bank. COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP
commands, or allowable commands to the other bank should be issued on any clock edge occurring during these states.
Allowable commands to the other bank are determined by its current state and Truth Table 3, and according to Truth
Table 4.
Precharging: Starts with registration of a PRECHARGE command and ends when tRP is met. Once tRP is met,
the bank will be in the idle state.
Row Activating: Starts with registration of an ACTIVE command and ends when tRCD is met. Once tRCD is met,
the bank will be in the row active state.

met. Once tMRD is met, the SDRAM will be in the all banks idle state.
Precharging All: Starts with registration of a PRECHARGE ALL command and ends when tRP is met. Once tRP is
met, all banks will be in the idle state.
6. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved.
7. Not bank-specific; requires that all banks are idle.
8. May or may not be bank-specific; if all banks are to be precharged, all must be in a valid state for precharging.
9. Deep Power-Down is a power savings feature of this BAT-RAM device. This command is Burst Terminate on
traditional SDRAM components. For Bat Ram devices, this command sequence is assigned to Deep Power Down.
10. READs or WRITEs listed in the Command (Action) column include READs or WRITEs with auto precharge enabled and
READs or WRITEs with auto precharge disabled.
11. Does not affect the state of the bank and acts as a NOP to that bank.

NOTE: 1. This table applies when CKEn-1 was HIGH and CKEn is HIGH (see Truth Table 2) and after tXSR has been met (if the
previous state was self refresh).
2. This table describes alternate bank operation, except where noted; i.e., the current state is for bank n and the
commands shown are those allowed to be issued to bank m (assuming that bank m is in such a state that the given
command is allowable). Exceptions are covered in the notes below.
3. Current state definitions:
Idle: The bank has been precharged, and tRP has been met.
Row Active: A row in the bank has been activated, and tRCD has been met. No data bursts/accesses and no
register accesses are in progress.
Read: A READ burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled, and has not yet terminated or
been terminated.
Write: A WRITE burst has been initiated, with auto precharge disabled, and has not yet terminated
or been terminated.
Read w/Auto
Precharge Enabled: Starts with registration of a READ command with auto precharge enabled, and ends when tRP

4. AUTO REFRESH, SELF REFRESH and LOAD MODE REGISTER commands may only be issued when all banks are idle.
5. A BURST TERMINATE command cannot be issued to another bank; it applies to the bank represented by the current state
only.
6. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved.
7. READs or WRITEs to bank m listed in the Command (Action) column include READs or WRITEs with auto precharge
enabled and READs or WRITEs with auto precharge disabled.
8. CONCURRENT AUTO PRECHARGE: Bank n will initiate the auto precharge command when its burst has been interrupted
by bank m’s burst.
9. Burst in bank n continues as initiated.
10. For a READ without auto precharge interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge), the READ to bank m will
interrupt the READ on bank n, CAS latency later (Figure 7).
11. For a READ without auto precharge interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge), the WRITE to bank m will
interrupt the READ on bank n when registered (Figures 9 and 10). DQM should be used one clock prior to the WRITE
command to prevent bus contention.
12. For a WRITE without auto precharge interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge), the READ to bank m will
interrupt the WRITE on bank n when registered (Figure 17), with the data-out appearing CAS latency later. The last
valid WRITE to bank n will be data-in registered one clock prior to the READ to bank m.
13. For a WRITE without auto precharge interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge), the WRITE to bank m
will interrupt the WRITE on bank n when registered (Figure 15). The last valid WRITE to bank n will be data-in
registered one clock prior to the READ to bank m.
14. For a READ with auto precharge interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge), the READ to bank m will
interrupt the READ on bank n, CAS latency later. The PRECHARGE to bank n will begin when the READ to bank m is
registered (Figure 24).
15. For a READ with auto precharge interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge), the WRITE to bank m will
interrupt the READ on bank n when registered. DQM should be used two clocks prior to the WRITE command to prevent
bus contention. The PRECHARGE to bank n will begin when the WRITE to bank m is registered (Figure 25).
16. For a WRITE with auto precharge interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge), the READ to bank m will
interrupt the WRITE on bank n when registered, with the data-out appearing CAS latency later. The PRECHARGE to bank
n will begin after tWR is met, where tWR begins when the READ to bank m is registered. The last valid WRITE to bank n
will be data-in registered one clock prior to the READ to bank m (Figure 26).
17. For a WRITE with auto precharge interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge), the WRITE to bank m will
interrupt the WRITE on bank n when registered. The PRECHARGE to bank n will begin after tWR is met, where tWR
begins when the WRITE to bank m is registered. The last valid WRITE to bank n will be data registered one clock prior
to the WRITE to bank m (Figure 27).

17. Required clocks are specified by JEDEC function-
ality and are not dependent on any timing param-
eter.
18. The IDD current will increase or decrease propor-
tionally according to the amount of frequency al-
teration for the test condition.
19. Address transitions average one transition every
two clocks.
20. CLK must be toggled a minimum of two times dur-
ing this period.
21. Based on tCK = 7.5ns for -75, tCK=8ns for -8,
tCK=10ns for -10 .
22. VIH overshoot: VIH (MAX) = VDDQ + 2V for a pulse
width 3ns, and the pulse width cannot be greater
than one third of the cycle rate. VIL undershoot: VIL
(MIN) = -2V for a pulse width 1/3 tCK.
23. The clock frequency must remain constant (stable
clock is defined as a signal cycling within timing
constraints specified for the clock pin) during ac-
cess or precharge states (READ, WRITE, including
tWR, and PRECHARGE commands). CKE may be
used to reduce the data rate.
24. Auto precharge mode only. The precharge timing
budget (tRP) begins 7.5ns after the first clock de-
lay, after the last WRITE is executed. May not ex-
ceed limit set for precharge mode.
25. Precharge mode only.
26. JEDEC and PC100 specify three clocks.
27. tAC for -75 at CL = 3 with no load is 5.4ns and is
guaranteed by design.
28. Parameter guaranteed by design.
A. Maximum capacitance can be 3.0 pF but not
desired.
B. Maximum capacitance can be 5.0pF but not
desired.
C. Maximum capacitance can be 3.3pF but not
desired.
D. Target values listed with alternative values in
parantheses.
E. tRFC must be less than or equal to tRC+1CLK
tXSR must be less than or equal to tRC+1CLK
F. For full I/V relationships see IBIS Section.
29. PC100 specifies a maximum of 4pF.
30. PC100 specifies a maximum of 5pF.
31. PC100 specifies a maximum of 6.5pF.
32. For -75, CL = 3 and tCK = 7.5ns; for -8, CL = 2 and tCK
= 10ns.
33. CKE is HIGH during refresh command period
tRFC (MIN) else CKE is LOW. The IDD6 limit is actu-
ally a nominal value and does not result in a fail
value.
NOTES
1. All voltages referenced to VSS.
2. This parameter is sampled; f = 1 MHz, TJ = 25°C;
0.9V bias, 200mV swing, VDD = +2.5V, VDDQ = +1.8V.
3. IDD is dependent on output loading and cycle rates.
Specified values are obtained with minimum cycle
time and the outputs open.
4. Enables on-chip refresh and address counters.
5. The minimum specifications are used only to
indicate cycle time at which proper operation over
the full temperature range (0°C TA +70°C and
- 40°C TA +85°C for IT parts) is ensured.
6. An initial pause of 100µs is required after power-
up, followed by two AUTO REFRESH commands,
before proper device operation is ensured. (VDD
and VDDQ must be powered up simultaneously. VSS
and VSSQ must be at same potential.) The two
AUTO REFRESH command wake-ups should be
repeated any time the tREF refresh requirement is
exceeded.
7. AC characteristics assume tT = 1ns.
8. In addition to meeting the transition rate specifi-
cation, the clock and CKE must transit between VIH
and VIL (or between VIL and VIH) in a monotonic
manner.
9. Outputs measured at 0.9V with equivalent load:
Q
30pF
10. tHZ defines the time at which the output achieves
the open circuit condition; it is not a reference to
VOH or VOL. The last valid data element will meet
tOH before going High-Z.
11. AC timing and IDD tests have VIL = 0.0V and VIH 1.65V,
with timing referenced to VIH/2 crossover point. If
the input transition time is longer than 1 ns, then
the timing is referenced at VIL (MAX) and VIH (MIN)
and no longer at the ISV crossover point.
12. Other input signals are allowed to transition no
more than once every two clocks and are otherwise
at valid VIH or VIL levels.
13. IDD specifications are tested after the device is prop-
erly initialized.
14. Timing actually specified by tCKS; clock(s) speci-
fied as a reference only at minimum cycle rate.
15. Timing actually specified by tWR plus tRP; clock(s)
specified as a reference only at minimum cycle rate.
16. Timing actually specified by tWR.
