Notes:
1. VREF is expected to be equal to 0.5* VDDQ of the transmitting device, and to track variations in the DC level of the same.
Peak-to-peak noise on VREF may not exceed 2% of the DC value.
2. VTT is not applied directly to the device. VTT is system supply for signal termination resistors, is expected to be set
equal to VREF, and must track variations in the DC level of VREF.
3. VID is the magnitude of the difference between the input level on CLK and the input level on CLK .
4. The ratio of the pullup current to the pulldown current is specified for the same temperature and voltage, over the entire
temperature and voltage range, for device drain to source voltages from 0.25 V to 1.0 V. For a given output, it represents
the maximum difference between pullup and pulldown drivers due to process variation. The full variation in the ratio of the
maximum to minimum pullup and pulldown current will not exceed 1.7 for device drain to source voltages from 0.1 to 1.0.
5. VOH = 1.95V, VOL =0.35V for others.
6. VOH = 1.9V, VOL =0.4V for others.

Notes:
1. These values are guaranteed by design and are tested on a sample basis only.
2. Although DM is an input -only pin, the input capacitance of this pin must model the input capacitance of the DQ and
DQS pins. This is required to match signal propagation times of DQ, DQS, and DM in the system.
3. Unused pins are tied to ground.
4. This parameter is sampled. VDDQ = 2.5V ± 0.2V, VDD = 2.5V ± 0.2V. For all devices, f=100MHz, TA =25°C, VOUT(DC) =
VDDQ/2, VOUT (peak to peak) = 0.2V. DM inputs are grouped with I/O pins - reflecting the fact that they are matched in
loading (to facilitate trace matching at the board level).

Notes:
1. All voltages referenced to VSS.
2. Tests for AC timing, IDD, and electrical, AC and DC characteristics, may be conducted at nominal reference/supply
voltage levels, but the related specifications and device operation are guaranteed for the full voltage range specified.
3. The below figure represents the timing reference load used in defining the relevant timing parameters of the part. It is
not intended to be either a precise representation of the typical system environment nor a depiction of the actual load
presented by a production tester. System designers will use IBIS or other simulation tools to correlate the timing
reference load to a system environment. Manufacturers will correlate to their production test conditions (generally a
coaxial transmission line terminated at the tester electronics).

Revision : 1.1 11/49
4. AC timing and IDD tests may use a VIL to VIH swing of up to 1.5 V in the test environment, but input timing is still
referenced to VREF (or to the crossing point for CLK/ CLK ), and parameter specifications are guaranteed for the
specified AC input levels under normal use conditions. The minimum slew rate for the input signals is 1 V/ns in the
range between VIL(AC) and VIH(AC).
5. The AC and DC input level specifications are as defined in the SSTL_2 Standard (i.e., the receiver will effectively
switch as a result of the signal crossing the AC input level and will remain in that state as long as the signal does not
ring back above (below) the DC input LOW (HIGH) level.
6. Inputs are not recognized as valid until VREF stabilizes. Exception: during the period before VREF stabilizes, CKE
0.2VDDQ is recognized as LOW.
7. Enables on-chip refresh and address counters.
8. IDD specifications are tested after the device is properly initialized.
9. The CLK/ CLK input reference level (for timing referenced to CLK/ CLK ) is the point at which CLK and CLK cross;
the input reference level for signals other than CLK/ CLK , is VREF.
10. The output timing reference voltage level is VTT.
11. tHZ and tLZ transitions occur in the same access time windows as valid data transitions. These parameters are not
referenced to a specific voltage level but specify when the device output is no longer driving (tHZ), or begins driving
(tLZ).
12. The maximum limit for this parameter is not a device limit. The device will operate with a greater value for this
parameter, but system performance (bus turnaround) will degrade accordingly.
13. The specific requirement is that DQS be valid (HIGH, LOW, or at some point on a valid transition) on or before this
CLK edge. A valid transition is defined as monotonic and meeting the input slew rate specifications of the device.
When no writes were previously in progress on the bus, DQS will be transitioning from High- Z to logic LOW. If a
previous write was in progress, DQS could be HIGH, LOW, or transitioning from HIGH to LOW at this time, depending
on tDQSS.
14. A maximum of eight AUTO REFRESH commands can be posted to any given DDR SDRAM device.
15. For command/address input slew rate 1.0 V/ns
16. For command/address input slew rate 0.5 V/ns and < 1.0 V/ns
17. For CLK & CLK slew rate 1.0 V/ns
18. These parameters guarantee device timing, but they are not necessarily tested on each device. They may be
guaranteed by device design or tester correlation.
19. Slew Rate is measured between VOH(AC) and VOL(AC).
20. Min (tCL, tCH) refers to the smaller of the actual clock low time and the actual clock high time as provided to the device
(i.e. this value can be greater than the minimum specification limits for tCL and tCH).....For example, tCL and tCH are =
50% of the period, less the half period jitter (tJIT(HP)) of the clock source, and less the half period jitter due to
crosstalk (tJIT(crosstalk)) into the clock traces.
21. tQH = tHP - tQHS, where:
tHP = minimum half clock period for any given cycle and is defined by clock high or clock low (tCH, tCL). tQHS accounts
for 1) The pulse duration distortion of on-chip clock circuits; and 2) The worst case push-out of DQS on one transition
followed by the worst case pull-in of DQ on the next transition, both of which are, separately, due to data pin skew
and output pattern effects, and p-channel to n-channel variation of the output drivers.
22. tDQSQ Consists of data pin skew and output pattern effects, and p-channel to n-channel variation of the output drivers
for any given cycle.
23. For each of the terms above, if not already an integer, round to the next highest integer.

Basic Functionality
Power-Up and Initialization Sequence
DDR SDRAM must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures other than those specified
may result in undefined operation. No power sequencing is specified during power up and power down given the following
criteria:
VDD and VDDQ are driven from a single power converter output, AND
VTT is limited to 1.35 V, AND
VREF tracks VDDQ /2
OR, the following relationships must be followed:
VDDQ is driven after or with VDD such that VDDQ < VDD + 0.3 V, AND
VTT is driven after or with VDDQ such that VTT < VDDQ + 0.3 V, AND
VREF is driven after or with VDDQ such that VREF < VDDQ + 0.3 V.
At least one of these two conditions must be met.
Except for CKE, inputs are not recognized as valid until after VREF is applied. CKE is an SSTL_2 input, but will detect an
LVCMOS LOW level after VDD is applied. Maintaining an LVCMOS LOW level on CKE during power-up is required to guarantee
that the DQ and DQS outputs will be in the High-Z state, where they will remain until driven in normal operation (by a read
access).
After all power supply and reference voltages are stable, and the clock is stable, the DDR SDRAM requires a 200 μs delay prior
to applying an executable command. Once the 200 μs delay has been satisfied, a DESELECT or NOP command should be
applied, and CKE should be brought HIGH.
Following the NOP command, a PRECHARGE ALL command should be applied. Next a MODE REGISTER SET command
should be issued for the Extended Mode Register, to enable the DLL, and then a MODE REGISTER SET command should be
issued for the Mode Register, to reset the DLL, and to program the operating parameters. 200 clock cycles are required
between the DLL reset and any executable command. A PRECHARGE ALL command should be applied, placing the device in
the ”all banks idle” state.
Once in the idle state, two AUTO refresh cycles must be performed. Additionally, a MODE REGISTER SET command for the
Mode Register, with the reset DLL bit deactivated (i.e., to program operating parameters without resetting the DLL) must be
performed.
Following these cycles, the DDR SDRAM is ready for normal operation.

Mode Register Definition
Mode Register Set (MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of DDR SDRAM. It programs CAS latency,
addressing mode, burst length, test mode, DLL reset and various vendor specific options to make DDR SDRAM useful for
variety of different applications. The default value of the register is not defined, therefore the mode register must be written after
EMRS setting for proper DDR SDRAM operation. The mode register is written by asserting low on CS , RAS , CAS , WE
and BA0~BA1 (The DDR SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register).
The state of address pins A0~A11 in the same cycle as CS , RAS , CAS , WE and BA0~BA1 going low is written in the
mode register. Two clock cycles are requested to complete the write operation in the mode register. The mode register contents
can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during operation as long as all banks are in the idle
state. The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. The burst length uses A0~A2, addressing
mode uses A3, CAS latency (read latency from column address) uses A4~A6. A7 is used for test mode. A8 is used for DLL
reset. A7 must be set to low for normal MRS operation. Refer to the table for specific codes for various burst length, addressing
modes and CAS latencies.

Extended Mode Register Set (EMRS)
The extended mode register stores the data enabling or disabling DLL, and selecting output drive strength. The default value of
the extended mode register is not defined, therefore the extended mode register must be written after power up for enabling or
disabling DLL. The extended mode register is written by asserting low on CS , RAS , CAS , WE and high on BA0 (The DDR
SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the extended mode register). The state of
address pins A0~A11 and BA0~BA1 in the same cycle as CS , RAS , CAS and WE going low is written in the extended
mode register. Two clock cycles are requested to complete the write operation in the mode register. The mode register contents
can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during operation as long as all banks are in the idle
state. A0 is used for DLL enable or disable. A1 and A6 are used for selecting output drive strength. “High” on BA0 is used for
EMRS. All the other address pins except A0~A1, A6 and BA0 must be set to low for proper EMRS operation. Refer to the table
for specific codes.

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 disabled the DLL for the purpose of debug or evaluation (upon exiting Self Refresh Mode,
the DLL is enabled automatically). Any time the DLL is enabled, 200 clock cycles must occur before a READ command
can be issued.
Output Drive Strength
The normal drive strength for all outputs is specified to be SSTL_2, Class II. The device also support reduced drive
strength options, intended for lighter load and/or point-to-point environments.

Precharge
The precharge command is used to precharge or close a bank that has activated. The precharge command is issued when CS ,
RAS and WE are low and CAS is high at the rising edge of the clock. The precharge command can be used to precharge
each bank respectively or all banks simultaneously. The bank select addresses (BA0, BA1) are used to define which bank is
precharged when the command is initiated. For write cycle, tWR(min) must be satisfied until the precharge command can be
issued. After tRP from the precharge, an active command to the same bank can be initiated.

No Operation & Device Deselect
The device should be deselected by deactivating the CS signal. In this mode DDR SDRAM should ignore all the control inputs.
The DDR SDRAMs are put in NOP mode when CS is active and by deactivating RAS , CAS and WE . For both Deselect
and NOP the device should finish the current operation when this command is issued.
Bank / Row Active
The Bank Activation command is issued by holding CAS and WE high with CS and RAS low at the rising edge of the
clock (CLK). The DDR SDRAM has four independent banks, so Bank Select addresses (BA0, BA1) are required. The Bank
Activation command must be applied before any Read or Write operation is executed. The Bank Activation command to the first
Read or Write command must meet or exceed the minimum of RAS to CAS delay time (tRCD min). Once a bank has been
activated, it must be precharged before another Bank Activation command can be applied to the same bank. The minimum time
interval between interleaved Bank Activation command (Bank A to Bank B and vice versa) is the Bank to Bank delay time (tRRD
min).

Read
This command is used after the row activate command to initiate the burst read of data. The read command is initiated by
activating CS , RAS , CAS , and deasserting WE at the same clock rising edge as described in the command truth table. The
length of the burst and the CAS latency time will be determined by the values programmed during the MRS command.
Write
This command is used after the row activate command to initiate the burst write of data. The write command is initiated by
activating CS , RAS , CAS , and WE at the same clock rising edge as describe in the command truth table. The length of the
burst will be determined by the values programmed during the MRS command.
Burst Read Operation
Burst Read operation in DDR SDRAM is in the same manner as the current SDRAM such that the Burst read command is
issued by asserting CS and CAS low while holding RAS and WE high at the rising edge of the clock (CLK) after tRCD
from the bank activation. The address inputs determine the starting address for the Burst. The Mode Register sets type of burst
(Sequential or interleave) and burst length (2, 4, 8). The first output data is available after the CAS Latency from the READ
command, and the consecutive data are presented on the falling and rising edge of Data Strobe (DQS) adopted by DDR
SDRAM until the burst length is completed.
<Burst Length = 4, CAS Latency = 3>
Burst Write Operation
The Burst Write command is issued by having CS , CAS and WE low while holding RAS high at the rising edge of the
clock (CLK). The address inputs determine the starting column address. There is no write latency relative to DQS required for
burst write cycle. The first data of a burst write cycle must be applied on the DQ pins tDS prior to data strobe edge enabled after
tDQSS from the rising edge of the clock (CLK) that the write command is issued. The remaining data inputs must be supplied on
each subsequent falling and rising edge of Data Strobe until the burst length is completed. When the burst has been finished,
any additional data supplied to the DQ pins will be ignored.
<Burst Length = 4>
Note * 1: The specific requirement is that DQS be valid (High or Low) on or before this CLK edge. The case shown (DQS going from
High-Z to logic Low) applies when no writes were previously in progress on the bus. If a previous write was in progress, DQS
could be High at this time, depending on tDQSS.

Read Interrupted by a Read
A Burst Read can be interrupted before completion of the burst by new Read command of any bank. When the previous burst is
interrupted, the remaining addresses are overridden by the new address with the full burst length. The data from the first Read
command continues to appear on the outputs until the CAS latency from the interrupting Read command is satisfied. At this
point the data from the interrupting Read command appears. Read to Read interval is tCCD(min).
<Burst Length = 4, CAS Latency = 3>
Read Interrupted by a Write & Burst Terminate
To interrupt a burst read with a write command, Burst Terminate command must be asserted to avoid data contention on the I/O
bus by placing the DQ’s (Output drivers) in a high impedance state. To insure the DQ’s are tri-stated one cycle before the
beginning the write operation, Burt stop command must be applied at least RU(CL) clocks [RU mean round up to the nearest
integer] before the Write command.

When a burst Read command is issued to a DDR SDRAM, a Precharge command may be issued to the same bank before
the Read burst is complete. The following functionality determines when a Precharge command may be given during a Read
burst and when a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank.
1. For the earliest possible Precharge command without interrupting a Read burst, the Precharge command may be given on
the rising clock edge which is CL clock cycles before the end of the Read burst where CL is the CAS Latency. A new
Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tRP (RAS precharge time).
2. When a Precharge command interrupts a Read burst operation, the Precharge command may be given on the rising clock
edge which is CL clock cycles before the last data from the interrupted Read burst where CL is the CAS Latency. Once
the last data word has been output, the output buffers are tristated. A new Bank Activate command may be issued to the
same bank after tRP.
3. For a Read with auto precharge command, a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tRP
where tRP begins on the rising clock edge which is CL clock cycles before the end of the Read burst where CL is the CAS
Latency. During Read with auto precharge, the initiation of the internal precharge occurs at the same time as the earliest
possible external Precharge command would initiate a precharge operation without interrupting the Read burst as
described in 1 above.
4. For all cases above, tRP is an analog delay that needs to be converted into clock cycles. The number of clock cycles
between a Precharge command and a new Bank Activate command to the same bank equals tRP / tCK (where tCK is the
clock cycle time) with the result rounded up to the nearest integer number of clock cycles.
In all cases, a Precharge operation cannot be initiated unless tRAS (min) [minimum Bank Activate to Precharge time] has been
satisfied. This includes Read with auto precharge commands where tRAS (min) must still be satisfied such that a Read with
auto precharge command has the same timing as a Read command followed by the earliest possible Precharge command
which does not interrupt the burst.

Write Interrupted by a Read & DM
A burst write can be interrupted by a read command of any bank. The DQ’s must be in the high impedance state at least one
clock cycle before the interrupting read data appear on the outputs to avoid data contention. When the read command is
registered, any residual data from the burst write cycle must be masked by DM. The delay from the last data to read command
(tWTR) is required to avoid the data contention DRAM inside. Data that are presented on the DQ pins before the read command
is initiated will actually be written to the memory. Read command interrupting write can not be issued at the next clock edge of
that of write command.

The following functionality established how a Read command may interrupt a Write burst and which input data is not written into
the memory.
1. For Read commands interrupting a Write burst, the minimum Write to Read command delay is 2 clock cycles. The case where
the Write to Read delay is 1 clock cycle is disallowed.
2. For read commands interrupting a Write burst, the DM pin must be used to mask the input data words which immediately
precede the interrupting Read operation and the input data word which immediately follows the interrupting Read operation.
3. For all cases of a Read interrupting a Write, the DQ and DQS buses must be released by the driving chip (i.e., the memory
controller) in time to allow the buses to turn around before the SDRAM drives them during a read operation.
4. If input Write data is masked by the Read command, the DQS inputs are ignored by the DDR SDRAM.
5. Refer to “Burst write operation”

Precharge timing for Write operations in DRAMs requires enough time to allow “write recovery” which is the time required by a
DRAM core to properly store a full “0” or “1” level before a Precharge operation. For DDR SDRAM, a timing parameter, tWR, is used
to indicate the required of time between the last valid write operation and a Precharge command to the same bank.
tWR starts on the rising clock edge after the last possible DQS edge that strobed in the last valid and ends on the rising clock edge
that strobes in the precharge command.
1. For the earliest possible Precharge command following a Write burst without interrupting the burst, the minimum time for write
recovery is defined by tWR.
2. When a precharge command interrupts a Write burst operation, the data mask pin, DM, is used to mask input data during the
time between the last valid write data and the rising clock edge in which the Precharge command is given. During this time, the
DQS input is still required to strobe in the state of DM. The minimum time for write recovery is defined by tWR.
3. For a Write with auto precharge command, a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tWR + tRP where
tWR + tRP starts on the falling DQS edge that strobed in the last valid data and ends on the rising clock edge that strobes in the
Bank Activate commands. During write with auto precharge, the initiation of the internal precharge occurs at the same time as the
earliest possible external Precharge command without interrupting the Write burst as described in 1 above.
4. In all cases, a Precharge operation cannot be initiated unless tRAS(min) [minimum Bank Activate to Precharge time] has been
satisfied. This includes Write with auto precharge commands where tRAS(min) must still be satisfied such that a Write with auto
precharge command has the same timing as a Write command followed by the earliest possible Precharge command which does
not interrupt the burst.
5. Refer to “Burst write operation”

Burst Terminate
The burst terminate command is initiated by having RAS and CAS high with CS and WE low at the rising edge of the
clock (CLK). The burst terminate command has the fewest restrictions making it the easiest method to use when terminating a
burst read operation before it has been completed. When the burst terminate command is issued during a burst read cycle, the
pair of data and DQS (Data Strobe) go to a high impedance state after a delay which is equal to the CAS latency set in the
mode register. The burst terminate command, however, is not supported during a write burst operation.

The Burst Terminate command is a mandatory feature for DDR SDRAMs. The following functionality is required.
1. The BST command may only be issued on the rising edge of the input clock, CLK.
2. BST is only a valid command during Read burst.
3. BST during a Write burst is undefined and shall not be used.
4. BST applies to all burst lengths.
5. BST is an undefined command during Read with auto precharge and shall not be used.
6. When terminating a burst Read command, the BST command must be issued LBST (“BST Latency”) clock cycles before the
clock edge at which the output buffers are tristated, where LBST equals the CAS latency for read operations.
7. When the burst terminates, the DQ and DQS pins are tristated.
The BST command is not byte controllable and applies to all bits in the DQ data word and the (all) DQS pin(s).
DM masking
The DDR SDRAM has a data mask function that can be used in conjunction with data write cycle. Not read cycle. When the
data mask is activated (DM high) during write operation, DDR SDRAM does not accept the corresponding data. (DM to
data-mask latency is zero) DM must be issued at the rising or falling edge of data strobe.

Read With Auto Precharge
If a read with auto precharge command is initiated, the DDR SDRAM automatically enters the precharge operation BL/2 clock
later from a read with auto precharge command when tRAS (min) is satisfied. If not, the start point of precharge operation will be
delayed until tRAS (min) is satisfied. Once the precharge operation has started the bank cannot be reactivated and the new
command can not be asserted until the precharge time (tRP) has been satisfied.

Auto Refresh & Self Refresh
Auto Refresh
An auto refresh command is issued by having CS , RAS and CAS held low with CKE and WE high at the rising edge of
the clock (CLK). All banks must be precharged and idle for tRP(min) before the auto refresh command is applied. No control of
the external address pins is requires once this cycle has started because of the internal address counter. When the refresh
cycle has completed, all banks will be in the 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 tRFC(min).
A maximum of eight consecutive AUTO REFRESH commands (with tRFC(min)) can be posted to any given DDR SDRAM
meaning that the maximum absolute interval between any AUTO REFRESH command and the next AUTO REFRESH
command is 8 x tREFI .

Self Refresh
A self refresh command is defines by having CS , RAS , CAS and CKE held low with WE high at the rising edge of the
clock (CLK). Once the self refresh command is initiated, CKE must be held low to keep the device in self refresh mode. During
the self refresh operation, all inputs except CKE are ignored. Since CKE is an SSTL_2 input, VREF must be maintained during
self refresh. The clock is internally disabled during self refresh operation to reduce power consumption. The self refresh is exited
by supplying stable clock input before returning CKE high, asserting deselect or NOP command and then asserting CKE high
for longer than tXSRD for locking of DLL.

Power down
Power down is entered when CKE is registered Low (no accesses can be 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 input and output buffers, excluding CLK, CLK and CKE. In power down mode, CKE Low
must be maintained, and all other input signals are “Don’t Care”. The minimum power down duration is at least 1 tCK + tIS.
However, power down duration is limited by the refresh requirements of the device.
The power down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered High (along with a NOP or DESELECT command). A
valid command may be applied 1 tCK + tIS after exit from power down.

state was self refresh).
2. This table is bank - specific, except where noted, i.e., the current state is for a specific bank and the commands shown
are those allowed to be issued to that bank when in that state. 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 / Write: A READ / WRITE burst has been initiated, with AUTO PRECHARGE disabled, and has not yet
terminated or been terminated.
Read / Write with Auto Precharge Enabled: See following text, notes 3a, 3b:
3a. For devices which do not support the optional “concurrent auto precharge” feature, the Read with Auto
Precharge Enabled or Write with Auto Precharge Enabled states can each be broken into two parts: the
access period and the precharge period. For Read with Auto Precharge, the precharge period is defined
as if the same burst was executed with Auto Precharge disabled and then followed with the earliest
possible PRECHARGE command that still accesses all of the data in the burst. For Write with Auto
Precharge, the precharge period begins when tWR ends, with tWR measured as if Auto Precharge was
disabled. The access period starts with registration of the command and ends where the precharge
period (or tRP) begins. During the precharge period of the Read with Auto Precharge Enabled or Write
with Auto Precharge Enabled states, ACTIVE, PRECHARGE, READ and WRITE commands to the other
bank may be applied; during the access period, only ACTIVE and PRECHARGE commands to the other
bank may be applied. In either case, all other related limitations apply (e.g., contention between READ
data and WRITE data must be avoided).
3b. For devices which do support the optional “concurrent auto precharge” feature, a read with auto precharge
enabled, or a write with auto precharge enabled, may be followed by any command to the other banks,
as long as that command does not interrupt the read or write data transfer, and all other related
limitations apply (e.g., contention between READ data and WRITE data must be avoided.)
4. The following states must not be interrupted by a command issued to the same bank. DESELECT 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.
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.
Read/ Write with Auto -
Precharge Enabled: Starts with registration of a READ / WRITE command with AUTO PRECHARGE enabled
and ends when tRP has been met. Once tRP is met, the bank will be in the idle state.
5. The following states must not be interrupted by any executable command; DESELECT or NOP commands must be
applied on each positive clock edge during these states.
Refreshing: Starts with registration of an AUTO REFRESH command and ends when tRC is met.
Once t
RFC is met, the DDR SDRAM will be in the ”all banks idle” state.
Accessing Mode Register: Starts with registration of a MODE REGISTER SET command and ends when tMRD
has been met. Once tMRD is met, the DDR 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 t
RP 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 and no bursts are in progress.
8. May or may not be bank - specific; if multiple banks are to be precharged, each must be in a valid state for precharging.
9. Not bank - specific; BURST TERMINATE affects the most recent READ burst, regardless of bank.
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. Requires appropriate DM masking.
12. A WRITE command may be applied after the completion of the READ burst; otherwise, a Burst Terminate must be
used to end the READ prior to asserting a WRITE command,
13. Operation or timing that is not specified is illegal and after such an event, in order to guarantee proper operation, the
DRAM must be powered down and then restarted through the specified initialization sequence before normal operation
can continue.
14. AUTO REFRESH and MODE REGISTER SET commands may only be issued when all banks are idle.
15. A BURST TERMINATE command cannot be issued to another bank; it applies to the bank represented by the current
state only.

When a burst Read command is issued to a DDR SDRAM, a Precharge command may be issued to the same bank before the
Read burst is complete. The following functionality determines when a Precharge command may be given during a Read burst
and when a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank.
1. For the earliest possible Precharge command without interrupting a Read burst, the Precharge command may be given on
the rising clock edge which is CL clock cycles before the end of the Read burst where CL is the CAS Latency. A new Bank
Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tRP (RAS Precharge time).
2. When a Precharge command interrupts a Read burst operation, the Precharge command may be given on the rising clock
edge which is CL clock cycles before the last data from the interrupted Read burst where CL is the CAS Latency. Once the
last data word has been output, the output buffers are tri-stated. A new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same
bank after tRP.

Notes:
* = VTT is not applied directly to the device, however tVTD must be greater than or equal to zero to avoid device latch-up.
** = tMRD is required before any command can be applied, and 200 cycles of CLK are required before an executable
command can be applied. The two Auto Refresh commands may be moved to follow the first MRS but precede the
second PRECHARGE ALL command.
