GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 256MB SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic
random-access memory containing 268,435,456 bits. It is
internally con gured as a quad-bank DRAM with a synchro-
nous interface (all signals are registered on the positive edge
of the clock signal, CLK). Each of the 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 ori-
ented; accesses start at a selected location and continue for a
programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence.
Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE command,
which is then followed by a READ or WRITE command. The
address bits registered coincident with the ACTIVE command
are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0, BA1
select the bank; A0-A12 select the row). The address bits regis-
tered coincident with the READ or WRITE command 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 sequence.
The 256MB SDRAM uses an internal pipelined archi-
tecture to achieve high-speed operation. This architecture 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 operation. 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 3.3V
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 operating
performance, including the ability to synchronously 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.

ENHANCING RELIABILITY WITH COPPER LEAD FRAMES1
ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS
Superior thermal conductivity improvement: 170 W/m*K
vs. 14 W/m*K (a 12X difference).
θ ja and θ jc characteristics provide up to 3.8X advantage
of heat dissipation capability versus parts with alloy 42
lead frames.
Heat dissipated from the die faster makes it run cooler
leading to longer life.
Solder joint reliability vastly improved.
- CTE of Copper (17 ppm/ oC), matches the CTE of Typical
FR4 PWBs (15-17 ppm/ oC)
- CTE of Alloy 42 (5 ppm/ oC), mismatch to CTE of FR4
PWBs (15-17 ppm/ oC)
RoHS Version (NiPdAu plating)
- Most preferred for elimination of risk for whisker growth.
The use of copper lead frames inherently allow for better solder joint reliability, tin whisker prevention and
better thermal dissipation. These are three big factors in overall system reliability over time.
Better Solder Joint Reliability
Many systems are expected to operate reliably over broad temperature variations spanning the industrial
(-400C to +850C) and military (-550C to +1250C) temperature ranges. System problems can be caused
by the mismatch of thermal coef cients of all system components. Better solder joint reliability is obtained
since the copper lead frame is more exible, and the CTE of the copper lead frame is better matched with
that of typical FR4 PWBs, than that of Alloy 42. Repeated thermal cycles over a period of time can take a
toll on solder joints, causing cracks and intermittent connections where expansion and contraction of the
lead frame is at a different rate than the FR4 PWB that it is attached to.
Whisker Prevention
The RoHS version of this copper lead frame, with its’ NiPdAu (Nickel-Palladium-Gold) plating, eliminates
the risk of tin whiskers. Microscopic whiskers can grow on a parts’ pins than have tin content in the plat-
ing. Traditionally Alloy 42 lead frames have a Sn or PbSn plating. This plating containing tin, along with
certain environmental conditions can cause these whiskers to grow. Their growth may extend to form a
bridge with another pin on the device, or the whisker may break off and cause a short circuit or even an
explosive power surge on the board. The organization, iNEMI (International Electronics Manufacturing
Initiative) lists the NiPdAu lead plating as the most preferred for elimination of risk for whiskers.
Better Thermal Dissipation
Because copper has a 10X to 12X improvement in thermal conductivity vs. Alloy 42, and since θ ja and θ jc
characteristics of copper provide up to 3.8X advantage over Alloy 42, more ef cient thermal dissipation is
the result. This translates to better heat dissipated away from the chip through the lead frame and PWB,
thus extending the useful life of the die by reducing die junction temperature. Therefore less heat stress
remains in the device, which is a leading cause of non-mechanical failure in a long life application.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
In general, the 256MB SDRAMs are quad-bank DRAMs
that operate at 3.3V and include a synchronous interface (all
signals are registered on the positive edge of the clock signal,
CLK). Each of the 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 ori-
ented; accesses start at a selected location and continue for a
programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence.
Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE command,
which is then followed by a READ or WRITE command. The
address bits registered coincident with the ACTIVE command
are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0 and
BA1 select the bank, A0 - A12 select the row). The address
bits (A0 - A8) registered coincident with the READ or WRITE
command are used to select the starting column location for the
burst access.
Prior to normal operation, the SDRAM must be initialized.
The following sections provide detailed information covering
device initialization, register de nition, command descriptions
and device operation.
Initialization
SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a pre-
de ned manner. Operational procedures other than those
speci ed may result in unde ned operation. Once power is
applied to VDD and VDDQ (simultaneously) and the clock is
stable (stable clock is de ned as a signal cycling within timing
constraints speci ed for the clock pin), the SDRAM requires a
100μs delay prior to issuing any command other than a COM-
MAND INHIBIT or NOP. Starting at some point during
this 100μs period and continuing at least through the end of
this period, COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP commands should
be applied.
Once the 100μs delay has been satis ed with at least one
COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP command having 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 preformed. 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 De nition
MODE REGISTER
The mode register is used to de ne the speci c mode
of operation of the SDRAM. This de nition 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 retain the stored information
until it is programmed again or the device loses power.
Mode register bits M0 - M2 specify the burst length, M3
speci es the type of burst (sequential or interleaved), M4 - M6
specify the CAS latency, M7 and M8 specify the operating
mode, M9 speci es the write burst mode, and M10 and M11 are
reserved for future use. Address A12 (M12) is unde ned but
should be driven LOW during loading of the mode register.
The mode register must be loaded when all banks are idle,
and the controller must wait the speci ed time before initiating
the subsequent operation. Violating either of these requirements
will result in unspeci ed 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 accessed 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 types. 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 selected.
All accesses for that burst take place within this block, mean-
ing that the burst will wrap within the block if a boundary is
reached. The clock is uniquely selected by A1-A8 when the
burst length is set to two; by A2-A8 when the burst length is
set to four, and by A3-A8 when the burst length is set to eight.
The remaining (least signi cant) 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 determined by
the burst length, the burst type and the starting column address,
shown in table 1.

CAS Latency
The CAS latency is the delay, in clock cycles, between
the registration of a READ command and the availability of
the rst piece of output data. The latency 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 operating
frequencies at which each CAS latency setting can be used.
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 are 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 (non-burst) accesses.

COMMANDS
Truth Table 1 provides a quick reference of available
commands. This is followed by a written description of each
command. Three additional Truth Tables appear following the
Operation section; these tables provide current state/next state
information.
COMMAND INHIBIT
The COMMAND INHIBIT function prevents new
commands from being executed by the SDRAM, regardless 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 per-
form 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-A11 (A12 should
be driven LOW). See mode register heading in the Register
De nition section. The LOAD MODE REGISTER command
can only be issued when all banks are idle, and a subsequent
executable command cannot be issued until tMRD is met.

NOTE:
1. CKE is HIGH for all commands shown except SELF REFRESH.
2. A0-A11 de ne the op-code written to the mode register, and A12 should be driven LOW.
3. A0-A12 provide row address, and BA0, BA1 determine which bank is made active.
4. A0-A8 provide column address; A10 HIGH enables the auto precharge feature (nonpersistent), while A10 LOW disables the auto precharge feature; BA0,
BA1 determine which bank is being read from or written to.
5. A10 LOW: BA0, BA1 determine the bank being precharged. A10 HIGH: All banks precharged and BA0, BA1 are “Don’t Care.”
6. This command is AUTO REFRESH if CKE is HIGH, SELF REFRESH if CKE is LOW.
7. Internal refresh counter controls row addressing; all inputs and I/Os are “Don’t Care” except for CKE.
8. Activates or deactivates the DQs during WRITEs (zero-clock delay) and READs (two-clock delay).
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. The row remains active (or
open) for accesses until a PRECHARGE command is issued to
that bank. A PRECHARGE command must be issued before
opening a different row in the same bank.
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 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 registered 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

WRITE (continued)
selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A0-A8
selects the starting column location. The value on input A10
determines whether or not auto precharge is used. If auto pre-
charge 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 registered 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 speci ed
time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE command is issued. Input
A10 determines whether one or all banks are to be precharged,
an 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 functions described above,
without requiring an explicit command. This is accomplished
by using A10 to enable auto precharge in conjunction with a
speci c READ or WRITE command. A PRECHARGE of
the bank/row that is addressed with the READ or WRITE
command is automatically 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 initiated 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 PRE-
CHARGE command was issued at the earliest possible time,
as described for each burst type in the Operation section of this
data sheet.
BURST TERMINATE
The BURST TERMINATE command is used to truncate
either xed-length or full-page bursts. The most recently
registered READ or WRITE command prior to the BURST
TERMINATE command will be truncated, as shown 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 non-
persistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required.
All active banks must be precharged prior to issuing an AUTO
REFRESH command. 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 con-
troller. 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 operation. 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 (tRFC), once every 64ms (24ms for XT version)
SELF REFRESH (IT & ET Temp options ONLY)
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 and 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 provides
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 inde nite period beyond that.
The procedure for exiting self refresh requires a sequence
of commands. First, CLK must be stable (stable clock is de-
ned as a signal cycling within timing constraints speci ed
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 coun-
ter. The SELF REFRESH and AUTO REFRESH option are
available with the IT and ET temperature options. They are
not available with the XT temperature options.

OPERATION
BANK/ROW ACTIVA TION
Before any READ or WRITE commands can be issued to a
bank within the SDRAM, a row in that bank must be “opened.”
This is accomplished via the ACTIVE 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, sub-
ject to the tRCD speci cation. 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 com-
mand on which a READ or WRITE command can be entered.
For example, a tRCD speci cation of 20ns with a 125 MHz
clock (8ns period) results in 2.5 clocks, rounded to 3. This is
re ected in Figure 4, which covers any case where 2 < tRCD
(MIN)/ tCK < 3. (The same procedure is used to convert
other speci 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 minimum time interval
between successive ACTIVE commands to the same bank is
de ned by tRC.
A subsequent ACTIVE command to another bank can be
issued while the rst bank is being accessed, which results in
a reduction of total row-access overhead. The minimum time
interval between successive ACTIVE commands to different
banks is de ned by tRRD.

READs
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command, as
shown in Figure 5.
The starting column and bank addresses are provided 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 generic READ commands used in the following
illustrations, auto precharge is disabled.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element from the
starting column address will be available following 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.
Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other commands
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 xed-length
READ burst may be immediately followed by data from a
READ command. In either case, a continuous ow of data
can be maintained. The rst data element from the new burst
follows either the last element of a complete burst or the last
desired data element 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. This is shown in
Figure 7 for CAS latencies of two and three; data element n+3
is either the last of a burst of four or the last desired of a longer
burst. The 256MB SDRAM uses a pipelined architecture and
therefore does not require the 2n rule associated with a prefetch
architecture. A READ command can be initiated on any clock
cycle following a previous READ command. Full-speed ran-
dom read accesses can be performed to the same bank, as shown
in Figure 8, or each subsequent READ may be performed to
different bank.

Data from any READ burst may be truncated with a
subsequent WRITE command, and data from a xed-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 imme-
diately 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 driving 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, 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 allows for bus contention to
be avoided without adding a NOP cycle, and Figure 10 shows
the case where the additional NOP is needed.
A xed-length READ burst may be followed by, or truncat-
ed with, a PRECHARGE command to the same bank (provided
that auto precharge was not activated), and a full-page burst may
be truncated with a PRECHARGE command to the same bank.
The PRECHARGE 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 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 xed-length burst being executed to com-
pletion, a PRECHARGE command issued at the optimum time
(as described above) provides the same operation that would
result from the same xed-length burst with auto precharge.
The disadvantage of the PRECHARGE command is that it
requires that the command and address buses be available
at the appropriate time to issue the command; the advantage of
the PRECHARGE command is that it can be used to truncate
xed-length or full-page bursts.
Full-page READ bursts can be truncated with the BURST
TERMINATE command, and xed-length READ bursts may
be truncated with a BURST TERMINATE command, provided
that auto precharge was not activated. The BURST TERMI-
NATE 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 blank addresses are provided with
the WRITE command, an 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 generic WRITE commands used in the following il-
lustrations, auto precharge is disabled.
During WRITE bursts, the rst valid data-in element will be
registered coincident with the WRITE command. Subsequent
data elements will be registered on each successive positive
clock edge. Upon completion of a xed-length burst, assum-
ing no other commands have been initiated, the DQs 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 xed-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 example 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
therefore does not require the 2n rule associated with a prefetch
architecture. A WRITE command can be initiated 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 preformed to a different bank.

Data for any WRITE burst may be truncated with a sub-
sequent READ command, and data for a xed-length WRITE
burst may be immediately followed by a READ command.
Once the READ command is registered, the data inputs will
be ignored, and WRITEs will not be executed. An example
is shown in Figure 17. Data n+1 is either the last of a burst of
two or the last desired of a longer burst.
Data for a xed-length WRITE burst may be followed by,
or truncated with, a PRECHARGE command to the same bank
(provided that auto precharge was not activated), and a full-page
WRITE burst may be truncated with a PRECHARGE command
to the same bank. The PRECHARGE command should be
issued tWR after the clock edge at which the last desired input
data element is registered. The auto precharge mode 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 coincident 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 rst coincident 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 xed-length burst being executed to com-
pletion, a PRECHARGE command issued at the optimum time
(as described above) provides the same operation that would
result from the same xed-length burst with auto precharge.
The disadvantage of the PRECHARGE command is that is
requires that the command and address buses be available at
the appropriate time to issue the command; the advantage of
the PRECHARGE command is that it can be used to truncate
xed-length or full-page bursts.

Fixed-length or full-page WRITE bursts can be truncated
with the BURST TERMINATE command. When truncate a
WRITE burst, the input data applied coincident with the BURST
TERMINATE command will be ignored. The last data writ-
ten (provided that DQM is LOW at that time) will be the input
data applied one clock previous to the BURST TERMINATE
command. This is shown in Figure 19, where data n is the last
desired data element of a longer burst.
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 speci ed 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. 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 coincident
with a NOP or COMMAND INHIBIT when no accesses 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 input and output buffers, excluding CKE, for
maximum power saving while in standby. The device may
not remain in the power-down state longer then 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 access/
burst is in progress and CKE is registered LOW. In the clock
suspend mode, the internal clock is deactivated, “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 input pins at the time of a
suspected internal clock edge is ignored; any data present on
the DQ pins remains driven; and burst counters are not incre-
mented, as long as the clock is suspended. (See examples in
Figure 22 and 23).
Clock suspend more is exited by registering CKE HIGH;
the internal clock and related operation will resume on the
subsequent positive clock edge.
BURST READ/SINGLE WRITE
The burst read/single write mode is entered by program-
ming 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 programmed burst length and sequence, just
as in the normal mode of operation (M9 = 0).

CONCURRENT AUT O 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. Micross
SDRAMs support CONCURRENT AUTO PRECHARGE.
Four cases where CONCURRENT AUTO PRECHARGE oc-
curs are de ned 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 registered (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
(Figure 25).

WRITE with Auto Precharge
3. Interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge);
A READ to bank m will interrupt a 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).
4. Interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge):
A WRITE to bank m will interrupt a 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 data WRITE to bank n will be data registered one
clock prior to the WRITE to bank m (Figure 26).

NOTES (continued):
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 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 ms 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 com-
mand 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 on 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 inter-
rupt the READ on bank n, CAS latency later. The PRECHARGE to bank n will begin when the READ to bank m is registered
(Figure 25).
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).

NOTES:
1. All voltages referenced to VSS.
2. This parameter is sampled. VDD, VDDQ = +3.3V; f = 1 MHz,
TA = 25°C; pin under test biased at 1.4V.
3. IDD is dependent on output loading and cycle rates. Speci-
ed values are obtained with minimum cycle time and the
outputs open.
4. Enables on-chip refresh and address counters.
5. The minimum speci cations are used only to indicate cycle
time at which proper operation over the full temperature range
is ensured: (0°C < TA < +125°C for XT), (-40°C < TA <
+85°C for IT), and (-45°C < TA < +105°C for ET).
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 si-
multaneously. VSS and VSSQ must be at the 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 speci cation, the
clock and CKE must transit between VIH and VIL (or between
VIL and VIH) in a monotonic manner.
9. Outputs measured at 1.5V with equivalent load:
10. tHZ de nes 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 operating and IDD test conditions have VIL = 0V and
VIH = 3.0V using a measurement reference level of 1.5V. If
the input transition time is longer than 1ns, then the timing is
measured from VIL (MAX) and VIH (MIN) and no longer
from the 1.5V mid-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 speci cations are tested after the device is properly
initialized.
14. Timing actually speci ed by tCKS; clock(s) speci ed as a
reference only at minimum cycle rate.
15. Timing actually speci ed by tWR plus tRP; clock(s) speci ed
as a reference only at minimum cycle rate.
16. Timing actually speci ed by tWR.
17. Required clocks are speci ed by JEDEC functionality and
are not dependent on any timing parameter.
18. The IDD current will increase or decrease proportionally
according to the amount of frequency alteration for the test
condition.
19. Address transitions average one transition every two
clocks.
20. CLK must be toggled a minimum of two times during this
period.
21. Based on tCK = 7.5ns for -75.
22. VIH overshoot: VIL (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 < 3ns.
23. The clock frequency must remain constant (stable clock is
de ned as a signal cycling within timing constraints speci ed
for the clock pin) during access 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 rst clock delay, after the last WRITE
is executed. May not exceed limit set for precharge mode.
25. Precharge mode only.
26. JEDEC and PC100 specify three clock.
27. for -75 at CL = 3 with no load is 4.6ns and is guaranteed
by design.
28. Parameter guaranteed by design.
29. PC100 speci es a maximum of 4pF.
30. PC100 speci es a maximum of 5pF.
31. PC100 speci es a maximum of 6.5pF.
32. CL = 3 and tCK = 7.5ns.
33. CKE is HIGH during refresh command period tRFC (MIN)
else CKE is LOW. The IDD6 limit is actually a nominal value
and does not result in a fail value.
34. 64ms refresh for IT, ET temperature options, 24ms refresh
for XT temperature option.
35. Self refresh mode available for IT and ET only.
