Functional Description
DDR3 SDRAM uses a double data rate architecture to achieve high-speed operation.
The double data rate architecture is an 8n-prefetch architecture with an interface de-
signed to transfer two data words per clock cycle at the I/O pins. A single read or write
operation for the DDR3 SDRAM effectively consists of a single 8n-bit-wide, four-clock-
cycle data transfer at the internal DRAM core and eight corresponding n-bit-wide, one-
half-clock-cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.
The differential data strobe (DQS, DQS#) is transmitted externally, along with data, for
use in data capture at the DDR3 SDRAM input receiver. DQS is center-aligned with data
for WRITEs. The read data is transmitted by the DDR3 SDRAM and edge-aligned to the
data strobes.
The DDR3 SDRAM operates from a differential clock (CK and CK#). The crossing of CK
going HIGH and CK# going LOW is referred to as the positive edge of CK. Control, com-
mand, and address signals are registered at every positive edge of CK. Input data is reg-
istered on the first rising edge of DQS after the WRITE preamble, and output data is ref-
erenced on the first rising edge of DQS after the READ preamble.
Read and write accesses to the DDR3 SDRAM are burst-oriented. Accesses start at a se-
lected location and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed
sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVATE command, which is then
followed by a READ or WRITE command. The address bits registered coincident with
the ACTIVATE command are used to select the bank and row to be accessed. The ad-
dress bits registered coincident with the READ or WRITE commands are used to select
the bank and the starting column location for the burst access.
The device uses a READ and WRITE BL8 and BC4. An auto precharge function may be
enabled to provide a self-timed row precharge that is initiated at the end of the burst
access.
As with standard DDR SDRAM, the pipelined, multibank architecture of DDR3 SDRAM
allows for concurrent operation, thereby providing high bandwidth by hiding row pre-
charge and activation time.
A self refresh mode is provided, along with a power-saving, power-down mode.
Industrial Temperature
The industrial temperature (IT) device requires that the case temperature not exceed
–40°C or 95°C. JEDEC specifications require the refresh rate to double when TC exceeds
85°C; this also requires use of the high-temperature self refresh option. Additionally,
ODT resistance and the input/output impedance must be derated when TC is < 0°C or
>85°C.
Automotive Temperature
The automotive temperature (AT) device requires that the case temperature not exceed
–40°C or 105°C. JEDEC specifications require the refresh rate to double when TC exceeds
85°C; this also requires use of the high-temperature self refresh option. Additionally,
ODT resistance and the input/output impedance must be derated when TC is < 0°C or
>85°C.

Utra-high Temperature
The Utra-high temperature (UT) device requires that the case temperature not exceed
–40°C or 125°C. JEDEC specifications require the refresh rate to double when TC exceeds
85°C; this also requires use of the high-temperature auto refresh option. When Tc >
+105C, the refresh rate must be increased to 8X. Self-refresh mode is not available for Tc
>+105°C. Additionally, ODT resistance and the input/output impedance must be derat-
ed when TC is < 0°C or >85°C.
General Notes
• The functionality and the timing specifications discussed in this data sheet are for the
DLL enable mode of operation (normal operation).
• Throughout this data sheet, various figures and text refer to DQs as “DQ.” DQ is to be
interpreted as any and all DQ collectively, unless specifically stated otherwise.
• The terms “DQS” and “CK” found throughout this data sheet are to be interpreted as
DQS, DQS# and CK, CK# respectively, unless specifically stated otherwise.
• Complete functionality may be described throughout the document; any page or dia-
gram may have been simplified to convey a topic and may not be inclusive of all re-
quirements.
• Any specific requirement takes precedence over a general statement.
• Any functionality not specifically stated is considered undefined, illegal, and not sup-
ported, and can result in unknown operation.
• Row addressing is denoted as A[n:0]. For example, 1Gb: n = 12 (x16); 1Gb: n = 13 (x4,
x8); 2Gb: n = 13 (x16) and 2Gb: n = 14 (x4, x8); 4Gb: n = 14 (x16); and 4Gb: n = 15 (x4,
x8).
• Dynamic ODT has a special use case: when DDR3 devices are architected for use in a
single rank memory array, the ODT ball can be wired HIGH rather than routed. Refer
to the Dynamic ODT Special Use Case section.
• A x16 device's DQ bus is comprised of two bytes. If only one of the bytes needs to be
used, use the lower byte for data transfers and terminate the upper byte as noted:
– Connect UDQS to ground via 1kΩ* resistor.
– Connect UDQS# to VDD via 1kΩ* resistor.
– Connect UDM to VDD via 1kΩ* resistor.
– Connect DQ[15:8] individually to either VSS, VDD, or VREF via 1kΩ resistors,* or float
DQ[15:8].
*If ODT is used, 1kΩ resistor should be changed to 4x that of the selected ODT.

x4 and x8 are the same.
2. A comma separates the configuration; a slash defines a selectable function.
Example D7 = NF, NF/TDQS#. NF applies to the x4 configuration only. NF/TDQS# applies
to the x8 configuration only—selectable between NF or TDQS# via MRS (symbols are de-
fined in Table 3).

Table 3: 78-Ball FBGA – x4, x8 Ball Descriptions
Symbol Type Description
A[15:13], A12/BC#,
A11, A10/AP, A[9:0]
Input Address inputs: Provide the row address for ACTIVATE commands, and the column
address and auto precharge bit (A10) for READ/WRITE commands, to select one
location out of the memory array in the respective bank. A10 sampled during a
PRECHARGE command determines whether the PRECHARGE applies to one bank
(A10 LOW, bank selected by BA[2:0]) or all banks (A10 HIGH). The address inputs also
provide the op-code during a LOAD MODE command. Address inputs are referenced
to VREFCA. A12/BC#: When enabled in the mode register (MR), A12 is sampled during
READ and WRITE commands to determine whether burst chop (on-the-fly) will be
performed (HIGH = BL8 or no burst chop, LOW = BC4). See Table 67 (page 99).
BA[2:0] Input Bank address inputs: BA[2:0] define the bank to which an ACTIVATE, READ,
WRITE, or PRECHARGE command is being applied. BA[2:0] define which mode
register (MR0, MR1, MR2, or MR3) is loaded during the LOAD MODE command.
BA[2:0] are referenced to VREFCA.
CK, CK# Input Clock: CK and CK# are differential clock inputs. All control and address input signals
are sampled on the crossing of the positive edge of CK and the negative edge of
CK#. Output data strobe (DQS, DQS#) is referenced to the crossings of CK and CK#.
CKE Input Clock enable: CKE enables (registered HIGH) and disables (registered LOW)
internal circuitry and clocks on the DRAM. The specific circuitry that is enabled/
disabled is dependent upon the DDR3 SDRAM configuration and operating mode.
Taking CKE LOW provides PRECHARGE POWER-DOWN and SELF REFRESH operations
(all banks idle), or active power-down (row active in any bank). CKE is synchronous
for power-down entry and exit and for self refresh entry. CKE is asynchronous for
self refresh exit. Input buffers (excluding CK, CK#, CKE, RESET#, and ODT) are
disabled during POWER-DOWN. Input buffers (excluding CKE and RESET#) are disa-
bled during SELF REFRESH. CKE is referenced to VREFCA.
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 rank selection on systems with multiple ranks. CS# is considered
part of the command code. CS# is referenced to VREFCA.
DM Input Input data mask: DM is an input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked
when DM is sampled HIGH along with the input data during a write access.
Although the DM ball is input-only, the DM loading is designed to match that of the
DQ and DQS balls. DM is referenced to VREFDQ. DM has an optional use as TDQS on
the x8.
ODT Input On-die termination: ODT enables (registered HIGH) and disables (registered LOW)
termination resistance internal to the DDR3 SDRAM. When enabled in normal
operation, ODT is only applied to each of the following balls: DQ[7:0], DQS, DQS#,
and DM for the x8; DQ[3:0], DQS, DQS#, and DM for the x4. The ODT input is
ignored if disabled via the LOAD MODE command. ODT is referenced to VREFCA.
RAS#, CAS#, WE# Input Command inputs: RAS#, CAS#, and WE# (along with CS#) define the command
being entered and are referenced to VREFCA.
RESET# Input Reset: RESET# is an active LOW CMOS input referenced to VSS. The RESET# input re-
ceiver is a CMOS input defined as a rail-to-rail signal with DC HIGH ≥ 0.8 × VDD and
DC LOW ≤ 0.2 × VDDQ. RESET# assertion and desertion are asynchronous.

Notes: 1. VDD and VDDQ must track one another. VDDQ must be ≤ VDD. VSS = VSSQ.
2. VDD and VDDQ may include AC noise of ±50mV (250 kHz to 20 MHz) in addition to the
DC (0 Hz to 250 kHz) specifications. VDD and VDDQ must be at same level for valid AC
timing parameters.
3. Maximum DC value may not be greater than 1.425V. The DC value is the linear average
of VDD/VDDQ(t) over a very long period of time (for example, 1 second).
4. Under these supply voltages, the device operates to this DDR3L specification.
5. If the maximum limit is exceeded, input levels shall be governed by DDR3 specifications.
6. Under 1.5V operation, this DDR3L device operates in accordance with the DDR3 specifi-
cations under the same speed timings as defined for this device.
7. Once initialized for DDR3L operation, DDR3 operation may only be used if the device is
in reset while VDD and VDDQ are changed for DDR3 operation (see VDD Voltage Switch-
ing (page 120)).
8. The minimum limit requirement is for testing purposes. The leakage current on the VREF
pin should be minimal.

Notes: 1. VREFCA(DC) is expected to be approximately 0.5 × VDD and to track variations in the DC
level. Externally generated peak noise (non-common mode) on VREFCA may not exceed
±1% × VDD around the VREFCA(DC) value. Peak-to-peak AC noise on VREFCA should not ex-
ceed ±2% of VREFCA(DC).
2. DC values are determined to be less than 20 MHz in frequency. DRAM must meet specifi-
cations if the DRAM induces additional AC noise greater than 20 MHz in frequency.
3. VREFDQ(DC) is expected to be approximately 0.5 × VDD and to track variations in the DC
level. Externally generated peak noise (non-common mode) on VREFDQ may not exceed
±1% × VDD around the VREFDQ(DC) value. Peak-to-peak AC noise on VREFDQ should not ex-
ceed ±2% of VREFDQ(DC).
4. VREFDQ(DC) may transition to VREFDQ(SR) and back to VREFDQ(DC) when in SELF REFRESH,
within restrictions outlined in the SELF REFRESH section.
5. VTT is not applied directly to the device. VTT is a system supply for signal termination re-
sistors. Minimum and maximum values are system-dependent.

Notes: 1. All voltages are referenced to VREF. VREF is VREFCA for control, command, and address. All
slew rates and setup/hold times are specified at the DRAM ball. VREF is VREFDQ for DQ
and DM inputs.
2. Input setup timing parameters (tIS and tDS) are referenced at VIL(AC)/VIH(AC), not VREF(DC).
3. Input hold timing parameters (tIH and tDH) are referenced at VIL(DC)/VIH(DC), not VREF(DC).
4. Single-ended input slew rate = 1 V/ns; maximum input voltage swing under test is
900mV (peak-to-peak).
5. When two VIH(AC) values (and two corresponding VIL(AC) values) are listed for a specific
speed bin, the user may choose either value for the input AC level. Whichever value is
used, the associated setup time for that AC level must also be used. Additionally, one
VIH(AC) value may be used for address/command inputs and the other VIH(AC) value may
be used for data inputs.
For example, for DDR3-800, two input AC levels are defined: VIH(AC160),min and
VIH(AC135),min (corresponding VIL(AC160),min and VIL(AC135),min). For DDR3-800, the address/
command inputs must use either VIH(AC160),min with tIS(AC160) of 210ps or VIH(AC150),min
with tIS(AC135) of 365ps; independently, the data inputs must use either VIH(AC160),min
with tDS(AC160) of 75ps or VIH(AC150),min with tDS(AC150) of 125ps.

Notes: 1. Clock is referenced to VDD and VSS. Data strobe is referenced to VDDQ and VSSQ.
2. Reference is VREFCA(DC) for clock and VREFDQ(DC) for strobe.
3. Differential input slew rate = 2 V/ns.
4. Defines slew rate reference points, relative to input crossing voltages.
5. Minimum DC limit is relative to single-ended signals; overshoot specifications are appli-
cable.
6. Maximum DC limit is relative to single-ended signals; undershoot specifications are ap-
plicable.
7. The typical value of VIX(AC) is expected to be about 0.5 × VDD of the transmitting device,
and VIX(AC) is expected to track variations in VDD. VIX(AC) indicates the voltage at which
differential input signals must cross.
8. The VIX extended range (±175mV) is allowed only for the clock; this VIX extended range
is only allowed when the following conditions are met: The single-ended input signals
are monotonic, have the single-ended swing VSEL, VSEH of at least VDD/2 ±250mV, and
the differential slew rate of CK, CK# is greater than 3 V/ns.
9. VIX must provide 25mV (single-ended) of the voltages separation.

ODT Characteristics
The ODT effective resistance RTT is defined by MR1[9, 6, and 2]. ODT is applied to the
DQ, DM, DQS, DQS#, and TDQS, TDQS# balls (x8 devices only). The ODT target values
and a functional representation are listed in Table 30 and Table 31 (page 53). The indi-
vidual pull-up and pull-down resistors (RTT(PU) and RTT(PD)) are defined as follows:
•RTT(PU) = (VDDQ - VOUT)/|IOUT|, under the condition that RTT(PD) is turned off
•RTT(PD) = (VOUT)/|IOUT|, under the condition that RTT(PU) is turned off

Notes: 1. Tolerance limits are applicable after proper ZQ calibration has been performed at a
stable temperature and voltage (VDDQ = VDD, VSSQ = VSS). Refer to ODT Sensitivity (page
54) if either the temperature or voltage changes after calibration.
2. Measurement definition for RTT: Apply VIH(AC) to pin under test and measure current
I[VIH(AC)], then apply VIL(AC) to pin under test and measure current I[VIL(AC)]:
RTT = VIH(AC) - VIL(AC)
I(VIH(AC)) - I(VIL(AC))

ODT Timing Definitions
ODT loading differs from that used in AC timing measurements. The reference load for
ODT timings is shown in Figure 20. Two parameters define when ODT turns on or off
synchronously, two define when ODT turns on or off asynchronously, and another de-
fines when ODT turns on or off dynamically. Table 34 and Table 35 (page 55) outline
and provide definition and measurement references settings for each parameter.
ODT turn-on time begins when the output leaves High-Z and ODT resistance begins to
turn on. ODT turn-off time begins when the output leaves Low-Z and ODT resistance
begins to turn off.

Output Driver Impedance
The output driver impedance is selected by MR1[5,1] during initialization. The selected
value is able to maintain the tight tolerances specified if proper ZQ calibration is per-
formed. Output specifications refer to the default output driver unless specifically sta-
ted otherwise. A functional representation of the output buffer is shown below. The out-
put driver impedance RON is defined by the value of the external reference resistor RZQ
as follows:
•RON,x = RZQ/y (with RZQ = 240Ω ±1%; x = 34Ω or 40Ω with y = 7 or 6, respectively)
The individual pull-up and pull-down resistors RON(PU) and RON(PD) are defined as fol-
lows:
•RON(PU) = (VDDQ - VOUT)/|IOUT|, when RON(PD) is turned off
•RON(PD) = (VOUT)/|IOUT|, when RON(PU) is turned off

34 Ohm Output Driver Impedance
The 34Ω driver (MR1[5, 1] = 01) is the default driver. Unless otherwise stated, all timings
and specifications listed herein apply to the 34Ω driver only. Its impedance RON is de-
fined by the value of the external reference resistor RZQ as follows: RON34 = RZQ/7 (with
nominal RZQ = 240Ω ±1%) and is actually 34.3Ω ±1%.

tion has been performed at a stable temperature and voltage: VDDQ = VDD; VSSQ = VSS).
Refer to DDR3L 34 Ohm Output Driver Sensitivity (page 61) if either the temperature
or the voltage changes after calibration.

3. For IT and AT (1Gb only) devices, the minimum values are derated by 6% when the de-
vice operates between –40°C and 0°C (TC).
A larger maximum limit will result in slightly lower minimum currents.

DDR3L 34 Ohm Driver
Using Table 37, the 34Ω driver’s current range has been calculated and summarized in
Table 38 (page 60) VDD = 1.35V, Table 39 for VDD = 1.45V, and Table 40 (page 61) for
VDD = 1.283V. The individual pull-up and pull-down resistors RON34(PD) and RON34(PU)
are defined as follows:
•RON34(PD) = (VOUT)/|IOUT|; RON34(PU) is turned off
•RON34(PU) = (VDDQ - VOUT)/|IOUT|; RON34(PD) is turned off

Reference Output Load
Figure 27 (page 67) represents the effective reference load of 25Ω used in defining the
relevant device AC timing parameters (except ODT reference timing) as well as the out-
put slew rate measurements. It is not intended to be a precise representation of a partic-
ular system environment or a depiction of the actual load presented by a production
tester. System designers should use IBIS or other simulation tools to correlate the tim-
ing reference load to a system environment.

Notes: 1. AC timing parameters are valid from specified TC MIN to TC MAX values.
2. All voltages are referenced to VSS.
3. Output timings are only valid for RON34 output buffer selection.
4. The unit tCK (AVG) represents the actual tCK (AVG) of the input clock under operation.
The unit CK represents one clock cycle of the input clock, counting the actual clock
edges.
5. AC timing and IDD tests may use a VIL-to-VIH swing of up to 900mV in the test environ-
ment, but input timing is still referenced to VREF (except tIS, tIH, tDS, and tDH use the
AC/DC trip points and CK, CK# and DQS, DQS# use their crossing points). The minimum
slew rate for the input signals used to test the device is 1 V/ns for single-ended inputs
(DQs are at 2V/ns for DDR3-1866 and DDR3-2133) and 2 V/ns for differential inputs in
the range between VIL(AC) and VIH(AC).
6. All timings that use time-based values (ns, µs, ms) should use tCK (AVG) to determine the
correct number of clocks (Table 56 (page 75) uses CK or tCK [AVG] interchangeably). In
the case of noninteger results, all minimum limits are to be rounded up to the nearest
whole integer, and all maximum limits are to be rounded down to the nearest whole
integer.
7. Strobe or DQSdiff refers to the DQS and DQS# differential crossing point when DQS is
the rising edge. Clock or CK refers to the CK and CK# differential crossing point when
CK is the rising edge.
8. This output load is used for all AC timing (except ODT reference timing) and slew rates.
The actual test load may be different. The output signal voltage reference point is
VDDQ/2 for single-ended signals and the crossing point for differential signals (see Figure
2).
9. When operating in DLL disable mode, Micron does not warrant compliance with normal
mode timings or functionality.
10. The clock’s tCK (AVG) is the average clock over any 200 consecutive clocks and tCK (AVG)
MIN is the smallest clock rate allowed, with the exception of a deviation due to clock
jitter. Input clock jitter is allowed provided it does not exceed values specified and must
be of a random Gaussian distribution in nature.
11. Spread spectrum is not included in the jitter specification values. However, the input
clock can accommodate spread-spectrum at a sweep rate in the range of 20–60 kHz with
an additional 1% of tCK (AVG) as a long-term jitter component; however, the spread
spectrum may not use a clock rate below tCK (AVG) MIN.

12. The clock’s tCH (AVG) and tCL (AVG) are the average half clock period over any 200 con-
secutive clocks and is the smallest clock half period allowed, with the exception of a de-
viation due to clock jitter. Input clock jitter is allowed provided it does not exceed values
specified and must be of a random Gaussian distribution in nature.
13. The period jitter (tJITper) is the maximum deviation in the clock period from the average
or nominal clock. It is allowed in either the positive or negative direction.
14. tCH (ABS) is the absolute instantaneous clock high pulse width as measured from one
rising edge to the following falling edge.
15. tCL (ABS) is the absolute instantaneous clock low pulse width as measured from one fall-
ing edge to the following rising edge.
16. The cycle-to-cycle jitter tJITcc is the amount the clock period can deviate from one cycle
to the next. It is important to keep cycle-to-cycle jitter at a minimum during the DLL
locking time.
17. The cumulative jitter error tERRnper, where n is the number of clocks between 2 and 50,
is the amount of clock time allowed to accumulate consecutively away from the average
clock over n number of clock cycles.
18. tDS (base) and tDH (base) values are for a single-ended 1 V/ns slew rate DQs (DQs are at
2V/ns for DDR3-1866 and DDR3-2133) and 2 V/ns slew rate differential DQS, DQS#; when
DQ single-ended slew rate is 2V/ns, the DQS differential slew rate is 4V/ns.
19. These parameters are measured from a data signal (DM, DQ0, DQ1, and so forth) transi-
tion edge to its respective data strobe signal (DQS, DQS#) crossing.
20. The setup and hold times are listed converting the base specification values (to which
derating tables apply) to VREF when the slew rate is 1 V/ns (DQs are at 2V/ns for
DDR3-1866 and DDR3-2133). These values, with a slew rate of 1 V/ns (DQs are at 2V/ns
for DDR3-1866 and DDR3-2133), are for reference only.
21. When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated
by the actual tJITper (larger of tJITper (MIN) or tJITper (MAX) of the input clock (output
deratings are relative to the SDRAM input clock).
22. Single-ended signal parameter.
23. The DRAM output timing is aligned to the nominal or average clock. Most output pa-
rameters must be derated by the actual jitter error when input clock jitter is present,
even when within specification. This results in each parameter becoming larger. The fol-
lowing parameters are required to be derated by subtracting tERR10per (MAX): tDQSCK
(MIN), tLZDQS (MIN), tLZDQ (MIN), and tAON (MIN). The following parameters are re-
quired to be derated by subtracting tERR10per (MIN): tDQSCK (MAX), tHZ (MAX), tLZDQS
(MAX), tLZDQ (MAX), and tAON (MAX). The parameter tRPRE (MIN) is derated by sub-
tracting tJITper (MAX), while tRPRE (MAX) is derated by subtracting tJITper (MIN).
24. The maximum preamble is bound by tLZDQS (MAX).
25. These parameters are measured from a data strobe signal (DQS, DQS#) crossing to its re-
spective clock signal (CK, CK#) crossing. The specification values are not affected by the
amount of clock jitter applied, as these are relative to the clock signal crossing. These
parameters should be met whether clock jitter is present.
26. The tDQSCK (DLL_DIS) parameter begins CL + AL - 1 cycles after the READ command.
27. The maximum postamble is bound by tHZDQS (MAX).
28. Commands requiring a locked DLL are: READ (and RDAP) and synchronous ODT com-
mands. In addition, after any change of latency tXPDLL, timing must be met.
29. tIS (base) and tIH (base) values are for a single-ended 1 V/ns control/command/address
slew rate and 2 V/ns CK, CK# differential slew rate.
30. These parameters are measured from a command/address signal transition edge to its
respective clock (CK, CK#) signal crossing. The specification values are not affected by
the amount of clock jitter applied as the setup and hold times are relative to the clock
signal crossing that latches the command/address. These parameters should be met
whether clock jitter is present.

31. For these parameters, the DDR3 SDRAM device supports tnPARAM (nCK) = RU(tPARAM
[ns]/tCK[AVG] [ns]), assuming all input clock jitter specifications are satisfied. For exam-
ple, the device will support tnRP (nCK) = RU(tRP/tCK[AVG]) if all input clock jitter specifi-
cations are met. This means that for DDR3-800 6-6-6, of which tRP = 5ns, the device will
support tnRP = RU(tRP/tCK[AVG]) = 6 as long as the input clock jitter specifications are
met. That is, the PRECHARGE command at T0 and the ACTIVATE command at T0 + 6 are
valid even if six clocks are less than 15ns due to input clock jitter.
32. During READs and WRITEs with auto precharge, the DDR3 SDRAM will hold off the in-
ternal PRECHARGE command until tRAS (MIN) has been satisfied.
33. When operating in DLL disable mode, the greater of 4CK or 15ns is satisfied for tWR.
34. The start of the write recovery time is defined as follows:
• For BL8 (fixed by MRS or OTF): Rising clock edge four clock cycles after WL
• For BC4 (OTF): Rising clock edge four clock cycles after WL
• For BC4 (fixed by MRS): Rising clock edge two clock cycles after WL
35. RESET# should be LOW as soon as power starts to ramp to ensure the outputs are in
High-Z. Until RESET# is LOW, the outputs are at risk of driving and could result in exces-
sive current, depending on bus activity.
36. The refresh period is 64ms when TC is less than or equal to 85°C. This equates to an aver-
age refresh rate of 7.8125µs. However, nine REFRESH commands should be asserted at
least once every 70.3µs. When TC is greater than 85°C, the refresh period is 32ms. When
TC is greater than 105°C, the refresh period is 8ms.
37. Although CKE is allowed to be registered LOW after a REFRESH command when
tREFPDEN (MIN) is satisfied, there are cases where additional time such as tXPDLL (MIN)
is required.
38. ODT turn-on time MIN is when the device leaves High-Z and ODT resistance begins to
turn on. ODT turn-on time maximum is when the ODT resistance is fully on. The ODT
reference load is shown in Figure 20 (page 55). Designs that were created prior to JEDEC
tightening the maximum limit from 9ns to 8.5ns will be allowed to have a 9ns maxi-
mum.
39. Half-clock output parameters must be derated by the actual tERR10per and tJITdty when
input clock jitter is present. This results in each parameter becoming larger. The parame-
ters tADC (MIN) and tAOF (MIN) are each required to be derated by subtracting both
tERR10per (MAX) and tJITdty (MAX). The parameters tADC (MAX) and tAOF (MAX) are
required to be derated by subtracting both tERR10per (MAX) and tJITdty (MAX).
40. ODT turn-off time minimum is when the device starts to turn off ODT resistance. ODT
turn-off time maximum is when the DRAM buffer is in High-Z. The ODT reference load is
shown in Figure 20 (page 55). This output load is used for ODT timings (see Figure 3).
41. Pulse width of a input signal is defined as the width between the first crossing of
VREF(DC) and the consecutive crossing of VREF(DC).
42. Should the clock rate be larger than tRFC (MIN), an AUTO REFRESH command should
have at least one NOP command between it and another AUTO REFRESH command. Ad-
ditionally, if the clock rate is slower than 40ns (25 MHz), all REFRESH commands should
be followed by a PRECHARGE ALL command.
43. DRAM devices should be evenly addressed when being accessed. Disproportionate ac-
cesses to a particular row address may result in a reduction of REFRESH characteristics or
product lifetime.
44. When two VIH(AC) values (and two corresponding VIL(AC) values) are listed for a specific
speed bin, the user may choose either value for the input AC level. Whichever value is
used, the associated setup time for that AC level must also be used. Additionally, one
VIH(AC) value may be used for address/command inputs and the other VIH(AC) value may
be used for data inputs.

For example, for DDR3-800, two input AC levels are defined: VIH(AC175),min and
VIH(AC150),min (corresponding VIL(AC175),min and VIL(AC150),min). For DDR3-800, the address/
command inputs must use either VIH(AC175),min with tIS(AC175) of 200ps or VIH(AC150),min
with tIS(AC150) of 350ps; independently, the data inputs must use either VIH(AC175),min
with tDS(AC175) of 75ps or VIH(AC150),min with tDS(AC150) of 125ps.
45. Self refresh is not available when TC > 105°C.

Command and Address Setup, Hold, and Derating
The total tIS (setup time) and tIH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the data
sheet tIS (base) and tIH (base) values (see Table 57; values come from the Electrical
Characteristics and AC Operating Conditions table) to the ΔtIS and ΔtIH derating values
(see Table 58 (page 85), Table 59 (page 85) or Table 60 (page 85)) respectively. Ex-
ample: tIS (total setup time) = tIS (base) + ΔtIS. For a valid transition, the input signal
has to remain above/below VIH(AC)/VIL(AC) for some time tVAC (see Table 61 (page 86)).
Although the total setup time for slow slew rates might be negative (for example, a valid
input signal will not have reached VIH(AC)/VIL(AC) at the time of the rising clock transi-
tion), a valid input signal is still required to complete the transition and to reach
VIH(AC)/VIL(AC) (see Figure 11 (page 45) for input signal requirements). For slew rates that
fall between the values listed in Table 58 (page 85) and Table 60 (page 85), the derat-
ing values may be obtained by linear interpolation.
Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the
last crossing of VREF(DC) and the first crossing of VIH(AC)min. Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate
for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VREF(DC) and
the first crossing of VIL(AC)max. If the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal slew
rate line between the shaded VREF(DC)-to-AC region, use the nominal slew rate for derat-
ing value (see Figure 30 (page 87)). If the actual signal is later than the nominal slew
rate line anywhere between the shaded VREF(DC)-to-AC region, the slew rate of a tangent
line to the actual signal from the AC level to the DC level is used for derating value (see
Figure 32 (page 89)).
Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the
last crossing of VIL(DC)max and the first crossing of VREF(DC). Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate
for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIH(DC)min and
the first crossing of VREF(DC). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew
rate line between the shaded DC-to-VREF(DC) region, use the nominal slew rate for derat-
ing value (see Figure 31 (page 88)). If the actual signal is earlier than the nominal slew
rate line anywhere between the shaded DC-to-VREF(DC) region, the slew rate of a tangent
line to the actual signal from the DC level to the VREF(DC) level is used for derating value
(see Figure 33 (page 90)).

Data Setup, Hold, and Derating
The total tDS (setup time) and tDH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the data
sheet tDS (base) and tDH (base) values (see Table 62 (page 91); values come from the
Electrical Characteristics and AC Operating Conditions table) to the ΔtDS and ΔtDH de-
rating values (see Table 63 (page 92), Table 64 (page 92), or Table 65 (page 93)) re-
spectively. Example: tDS (total setup time) = tDS (base) + ΔtDS. For a valid transition, the
input signal has to remain above/below VIH(AC)/VIL(AC) for some time tVAC (see Table 66
(page 94)).
Although the total setup time for slow slew rates might be negative (for example, a valid
input signal will not have reached VIH(AC)/VIL(AC)) at the time of the rising clock transi-
tion), a valid input signal is still required to complete the transition and to reach
VIH/VIL(AC). For slew rates that fall between the values listed in Table 63 (page 92), Ta-
ble 64 (page 92), or Table 65 (page 93), the derating values may obtained by linear
interpolation.
Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the
last crossing of VREF(DC) and the first crossing of VIH(AC)min. Setup (tDS) nominal slew
rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VREF(DC)
and the first crossing of VIL(AC)max. If the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal
slew rate line between the shaded VREF(DC)-to-AC region, use the nominal slew rate for
derating value (see Figure 34 (page 95)). If the actual signal is later than the nominal
slew rate line anywhere between the shaded VREF(DC)-to-AC region, the slew rate of a
tangent line to the actual signal from the AC level to the DC level is used for derating
value (see Figure 36 (page 97)).
Hold (tDH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the
last crossing of VIL(DC)max and the first crossing of VREF(DC). Hold (tDH) nominal slew
rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIH(DC)min
and the first crossing of VREF(DC). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal
slew rate line between the shaded DC-to-VREF(DC) region, use the nominal slew rate for
derating value (see Figure 35 (page 96)). If the actual signal is earlier than the nominal
slew rate line anywhere between the shaded DC-to-VREF(DC) region, the slew rate of a
tangent line to the actual signal from the DC-to-VREF(DC) region is used for derating val-
ue (see Figure 37 (page 98)).

2. RESET# is enabled LOW and used only for asynchronous reset. Thus, RESET# must be
held HIGH during any normal operation.
3. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table.
4. Operations apply to the bank defined by the bank address. For MRS, BA selects one of
four mode registers.
5. “V” means “H” or “L” (a defined logic level), and “X” means “Don’t Care.”
6. See Table 68 (page 101) for additional information on CKE transition.
7. Self refresh exit is asynchronous.
8. Burst READs or WRITEs cannot be terminated or interrupted. MRS (fixed) and OTF BL/BC

10. The DES and NOP commands perform similarly.
11. The power-down mode does not perform any REFRESH operations.
12. ZQ CALIBRATION LONG is used for either ZQinit (first ZQCL command during initializa-
tion) or ZQoper (ZQCL command after initialization).

2. tCKE (MIN) means CKE must be registered at multiple consecutive positive clock edges.
CKE must remain at the valid input level the entire time it takes to achieve the required
number of registration clocks. Thus, after any CKE transition, CKE may not transition
from its valid level during the time period of tIS + tCKE (MIN) + tIH.
3. Current state = The state of the DRAM immediately prior to clock edge n.
4. CKE (n) is the logic state of CKE at clock edge n; CKE (n - 1) was the state of CKE at the
previous clock edge.
5. COMMAND is the command registered at the clock edge (must be a legal command as
defined in Table 67 (page 99)). Action is a result of COMMAND. ODT does not affect the
states described in this table and is not listed.
6. Idle state = All banks are closed, no data bursts are in progress, CKE is HIGH, and all tim-
ings from previous operations are satisfied. All self refresh exit and power-down exit pa-
rameters are also satisfied.

Commands
DESELECT
The DESELT (DES) command (CS# HIGH) prevents new commands from being execu-
ted by the DRAM. Operations already in progress are not affected.
NO OPERATION
The NO OPERATION (NOP) command (CS# LOW) prevents unwanted commands from
being registered during idle or wait states. Operations already in progress are not affec-
ted.
ZQ CALIBRATION LONG
The ZQ CALIBRATION LONG (ZQCL) command is used to perform the initial calibra-
tion during a power-up initialization and reset sequence (see Figure 46 (page 118)).
This command may be issued at any time by the controller, depending on the system
environment. The ZQCL command triggers the calibration engine inside the DRAM. Af-
ter calibration is achieved, the calibrated values are transferred from the calibration en-
gine to the DRAM I/O, which are reflected as updated RON and ODT values.
The DRAM is allowed a timing window defined by either tZQinit or tZQoper to perform
a full calibration and transfer of values. When ZQCL is issued during the initialization
sequence, the timing parameter tZQinit must be satisfied. When initialization is com-
plete, subsequent ZQCL commands require the timing parameter tZQoper to be satis-
fied.
ZQ CALIBRATION SHORT
The ZQ CALIBRATION SHORT (ZQCS) command is used to perform periodic calibra-
tions to account for small voltage and temperature variations. A shorter timing window
is provided to perform the reduced calibration and transfer of values as defined by tim-
ing parameter tZQCS. A ZQCS command can effectively correct a minimum of 0.5% RON
and RTT impedance error within 64 clock cycles, assuming the maximum sensitivities
specified in DDR3L 34 Ohm Output Driver Sensitivity (page 61).
ACTIVATE
The ACTIVATE command is used to open (or activate) a row in a particular bank for a
subsequent access. The value on the BA[2:0] inputs selects the bank, and the address
provided on inputs A[n:0] selects the row. This row remains open (or active) 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 address
provided on inputs A[2:0] selects the starting column address, depending on the burst
length and burst type selected (see Burst Order table for additional information). The
value on input A10 determines whether auto precharge is used. If auto precharge is se-
lected, 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. The value
on input A12 (if enabled in the mode register) when the READ command is issued de-
termines whether BC4 (chop) or BL8 is used. After a READ command is issued, the
READ burst may not be interrupted.

WRITE
The WRITE command is used to initiate a burst write access to an active row. The value
on the BA[2:0] inputs selects the bank. The value on input A10 determines whether auto
precharge is used. The value on input A12 (if enabled in the MR) when the WRITE com-
mand is issued determines whether BC4 (chop) or BL8 is used.
Input data appearing on the DQ is written to the memory array subject to the DM input
logic level appearing coincident with the data. If a given DM signal is registered LOW,
the corresponding data will be written to memory. If the DM 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 de-activate the open row in a particular bank or
in all banks. The bank(s) are available for a subsequent row access a specified time (tRP)
after the PRECHARGE command is issued, except in the case of concurrent auto pre-
charge. A READ or WRITE command to a different bank is allowed during a concurrent
auto precharge as long as it does not interrupt the data transfer in the current bank and
does not violate any other timing parameters. Input A10 determines whether one or all
banks are precharged. In the case where only one bank is precharged, inputs BA[2:0] se-
lect the bank; otherwise, BA[2:0] are treated as “Don’t Care.”
After a bank is precharged, it is in the idle state and must be activated prior to any READ
or WRITE commands being issued to that bank. A PRECHARGE command is treated as
a NOP if there is no open row in that bank (idle state) or if the previously open row is
already in the process of precharging. However, the precharge period is determined by
the last PRECHARGE command issued to the bank.
REFRESH
The REFRESH command is used during normal operation of the DRAM and is analo-
gous to CAS#-before-RAS# (CBR) refresh or auto refresh. This command is nonpersis-
tent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The addressing is generated by
the internal refresh controller. This makes the address bits a “Don’t Care” during a RE-
FRESH command. The DRAM requires REFRESH cycles at an average interval of 7.8µs
(maximum when TC ≤ 85°C or 3.9µs maximum when TC ≤ 95°C). The REFRESH period
begins when the REFRESH command is registered and ends tRFC (MIN) later.
To allow for improved efficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexi-
bility in the absolute refresh interval is provided. A maximum of eight REFRESH com-
mands can be posted to any given DRAM, meaning that the maximum absolute interval
between any REFRESH command and the next REFRESH command is nine times the
maximum average interval refresh rate. Self refresh may be entered with up to eight RE-
FRESH commands being posted. After exiting self refresh (when entered with posted
REFRESH commands), additional posting of REFRESH commands is allowed to the ex-
tent that the maximum number of cumulative posted REFRESH commands (both pre-
and post-self refresh) does not exceed eight REFRESH commands.
At any given time, a maximum of 16 REFRESH commands can be issued within
2 x tREFI.

5. Only NOP and DES commands are allowed after a REFRESH command and until tRFC

SELF REFRESH
The SELF REFRESH command is used to retain data in the DRAM, even if the rest of the
system is powered down. When in self refresh mode, the DRAM retains data without ex-
ternal clocking. Self refresh mode is also a convenient method used to enable/disable
the DLL as well as to change the clock frequency within the allowed synchronous oper-
ating range (see Input Clock Frequency Change (page 110)). All power supply inputs
(including VREFCA and VREFDQ) must be maintained at valid levels upon entry/exit and
during self refresh mode operation. VREFDQ may float or not drive VDDQ/2 while in self
refresh mode under the following conditions:
• VSS < VREFDQ < VDD is maintained
• VREFDQ is valid and stable prior to CKE going back HIGH
• The first WRITE operation may not occur earlier than 512 clocks after VREFDQ is valid
• All other self refresh mode exit timing requirements are met

DLL Disable Mode
If the DLL is disabled by the mode register (MR1[0] can be switched during initialization
or later), the DRAM is targeted, but not guaranteed, to operate similarly to the normal
mode, with a few notable exceptions:
• The DRAM supports only one value of CAS latency (CL = 6) and one value of CAS
WRITE latency (CWL = 6).
• DLL disable mode affects the read data clock-to-data strobe relationship (tDQSCK),
but not the read data-to-data strobe relationship (tDQSQ, tQH). Special attention is
required to line up the read data with the controller time domain when the DLL is dis-
abled.
• In normal operation (DLL on), tDQSCK starts from the rising clock edge AL + CL
cycles after the READ command. In DLL disable mode, tDQSCK starts AL + CL - 1 cy-
cles after the READ command. Additionally, with the DLL disabled, the value of
tDQSCK could be larger than tCK.
The ODT feature (including dynamic ODT) is not supported during DLL disable mode.
The ODT resistors must be disabled by continuously registering the ODT ball LOW by
programming RTT,nom MR1[9, 6, 2] and RTT(WR) MR2[10, 9] to 0 while in the DLL disable
mode.
Specific steps must be followed to switch between the DLL enable and DLL disable
modes due to a gap in the allowed clock rates between the two modes (tCK [AVG] MAX
and tCK [DLL_DIS] MIN, respectively). The only time the clock is allowed to cross this
clock rate gap is during self refresh mode. Thus, the required procedure for switching
from the DLL enable mode to the DLL disable mode is to change frequency during self
refresh:
1. Starting from the idle state (all banks are precharged, all timings are fulfilled, ODT
is turned off, and RTT,nom and RTT(WR) are High-Z), set MR1[0] to 1 to disable the
DLL.
2. Enter self refresh mode after tMOD has been satisfied.
3. After tCKSRE is satisfied, change the frequency to the desired clock rate.
4. Self refresh may be exited when the clock is stable with the new frequency for
tCKSRX. After tXS is satisfied, update the mode registers with appropriate values.
5. The DRAM will be ready for its next command in the DLL disable mode after the
greater of tMRD or tMOD has been satisfied. A ZQCL command should be issued
with appropriate timings met.

9. Static LOW in the case that RTT,nom or RTT(WR) is enabled; otherwise, static LOW or HIGH.
A similar procedure is required for switching from the DLL disable mode back to the
DLL enable mode. This also requires changing the frequency during self refresh mode
(see Figure 40 (page 108)).
1. Starting from the idle state (all banks are precharged, all timings are fulfilled, ODT
is turned off, and RTT,nom and RTT(WR) are High-Z), enter self refresh mode.
2. After tCKSRE is satisfied, change the frequency to the new clock rate.
3. Self refresh may be exited when the clock is stable with the new frequency for
tCKSRX. After tXS is satisfied, update the mode registers with the appropriate val-
ues. At a minimum, set MR1[0] to 0 to enable the DLL. Wait tMRD, then set MR0[8]
to 1 to enable DLL RESET.
4. After another tMRD delay is satisfied, update the remaining mode registers with
the appropriate values.
5. The DRAM will be ready for its next command in the DLL enable mode after the
greater of tMRD or tMOD has been satisfied. However, before applying any com-
mand or function requiring a locked DLL, a delay of tDLLK after DLL RESET must
be satisfied. A ZQCL command should be issued with the appropriate timings
met.

8. Change frequency.
9. Clock must be stable at least tCKSRX.
10. Static LOW in the case that RTT,nom or RTT(WR) is enabled; otherwise, static LOW or HIGH.
The clock frequency range for the DLL disable mode is specified by the parameter tCK
(DLL_DIS). Due to latency counter and timing restrictions, only CL = 6 and CWL = 6 are
supported.
DLL disable mode will affect the read data clock to data strobe relationship (tDQSCK)
but not the data strobe to data relationship (tDQSQ, tQH). Special attention is needed to
line up read data to the controller time domain.
Compared to the DLL on mode where tDQSCK starts from the rising clock edge AL + CL
cycles after the READ command, the DLL disable mode tDQSCK starts AL + CL - 1 cycles
after the READ command.
WRITE operations function similarly between the DLL enable and DLL disable modes;
however, ODT functionality is not allowed with DLL disable mode.

Input Clock Frequency Change
When the DDR3 SDRAM is initialized, the clock must be stable during most normal
states of operation. This means that after the clock frequency has been set to the stable
state, the clock period is not allowed to deviate, except for what is allowed by the clock
jitter and spread spectrum clocking (SSC) specifications.
The input clock frequency can be changed from one stable clock rate to another under
two conditions: self refresh mode and precharge power-down mode. It is illegal to
change the clock frequency outside of those two modes. For the self refresh mode con-
dition, when the DDR3 SDRAM has been successfully placed into self refresh mode and
tCKSRE has been satisfied, the state of the clock becomes a “Don’t Care.” When the
clock becomes a “Don’t Care,” changing the clock frequency is permissible if the new
clock frequency is stable prior to tCKSRX. When entering and exiting self refresh mode
for the sole purpose of changing the clock frequency, the self refresh entry and exit
specifications must still be met.
The precharge power-down mode condition is when the DDR3 SDRAM is in precharge
power-down mode (either fast exit mode or slow exit mode). Either ODT must be at a
logic LOW or RTT,nom and RTT(WR) must be disabled via MR1 and MR2. This ensures
RTT,nom and RTT(WR) are in an off state prior to entering precharge power-down mode,
and CKE must be at a logic LOW. A minimum of tCKSRE must occur after CKE goes LOW
before the clock frequency can change. The DDR3 SDRAM input clock frequency is al-
lowed to change only within the minimum and maximum operating frequency speci-
fied for the particular speed grade (tCK [AVG] MIN to tCK [AVG] MAX). During the input
clock frequency change, CKE must be held at a stable LOW level. When the input clock
frequency is changed, a stable clock must be provided to the DRAM tCKSRX before pre-
charge power-down may be exited. After precharge power-down is exited and tXP has
been satisfied, the DLL must be reset via the MRS. Depending on the new clock fre-
quency, additional MRS commands may need to be issued. During the DLL lock time,
RTT,nom and RTT(WR) must remain in an off state. After the DLL lock time, the DRAM is
ready to operate with a new clock frequency.

Write Leveling
For better signal integrity, DDR3 SDRAM memory modules have adopted fly-by topolo-
gy for the commands, addresses, control signals, and clocks. Write leveling is a scheme
for the memory controller to adjust or de-skew the DQS strobe (DQS, DQS#) to CK rela-
tionship at the DRAM with a simple feedback feature provided by the DRAM. Write lev-
eling is generally used as part of the initialization process, if required. For normal
DRAM operation, this feature must be disabled. This is the only DRAM operation where
the DQS functions as an input (to capture the incoming clock) and the DQ function as
outputs (to report the state of the clock). Note that nonstandard ODT schemes are re-
quired.
The memory controller using the write leveling procedure must have adjustable delay
settings on its DQS strobe to align the rising edge of DQS to the clock at the DRAM pins.
This is accomplished when the DRAM asynchronously feeds back the CK status via the
DQ bus and samples with the rising edge of DQS. The controller repeatedly delays the
DQS strobe until a CK transition from 0 to 1 is detected. The DQS delay established by
this procedure helps ensure tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specifications in systems that use
fly-by topology by de-skewing the trace length mismatch. A conceptual timing of this
procedure is shown in Figure 43.

When write leveling is enabled, the rising edge of DQS samples CK, and the prime DQ
outputs the sampled CK’s status. The prime DQ for a x4 or x8 configuration is DQ0 with

all other DQ (DQ[7:1]) driving LOW. The prime DQ for a x16 configuration is DQ0 for the
lower byte and DQ8 for the upper byte. It outputs the status of CK sampled by LDQS
and UDQS. All other DQ (DQ[7:1], DQ[15:9]) continue to drive LOW. Two prime DQ on a
x16 enable each byte lane to be leveled independently.
The write leveling mode register interacts with other mode registers to correctly config-
ure the write leveling functionality. Besides using MR1[7] to disable/enable write level-
ing, MR1[12] must be used to enable/disable the output buffers. The ODT value, burst
length, and so forth need to be selected as well. This interaction is shown in Table 72. It
should also be noted that when the outputs are enabled during write leveling mode, the
DQS buffers are set as inputs, and the DQ are set as outputs. Additionally, during write
leveling mode, only the DQS strobe terminations are activated and deactivated via the
ODT ball. The DQ remain disabled and are not affected by the ODT ball.

Notes: 1. Expected usage if used during write leveling: Case 1 may be used when DRAM are on a
dual-rank module and on the rank not being leveled or on any rank of a module not
being leveled on a multislot system. Case 2 may be used when DRAM are on any rank of
a module not being leveled on a multislot system. Case 3 is generally not used. Case 4 is
generally used when DRAM are on the rank that is being leveled.
2. Since the DRAM DQS is not being driven (MR1[12] = 1), DQS ignores the input strobe,
and all RTT,nom values are allowed. This simulates a normal standby state to DQS.
3. Since the DRAM DQS is being driven (MR1[12] = 0), DQS captures the input strobe, and
only some RTT,nom values are allowed. This simulates a normal write state to DQS.

Write Leveling Procedure
A memory controller initiates the DRAM write leveling mode by setting MR1[7] to 1, as-
suming the other programable features (MR0, MR1, MR2, and MR3) are first set and the
DLL is fully reset and locked. The DQ balls enter the write leveling mode going from a
High-Z state to an undefined driving state, so the DQ bus should not be driven. During
write leveling mode, only the NOP or DES commands are allowed. The memory con-
troller should attempt to level only one rank at a time; thus, the outputs of other ranks
should be disabled by setting MR1[12] to 1 in the other ranks. The memory controller
may assert ODT after a tMOD delay, as the DRAM will be ready to process the ODT tran-
sition. ODT should be turned on prior to DQS being driven LOW by at least ODTLon
delay (WL - 2 tCK), provided it does not violate the aforementioned tMOD delay require-
ment.
The memory controller may drive DQS LOW and DQS# HIGH after tWLDQSEN has
been satisfied. The controller may begin to toggle DQS after tWLMRD (one DQS toggle
is DQS transitioning from a LOW state to a HIGH state with DQS# transitioning from a
HIGH state to a LOW state, then both transition back to their original states). At a mini-
mum, ODTLon and tAON must be satisfied at least one clock prior to DQS toggling.
After tWLMRD and a DQS LOW preamble (tWPRE) have been satisfied, the memory
controller may provide either a single DQS toggle or multiple DQS toggles to sample CK
for a given DQS-to-CK skew. Each DQS toggle must not violate tDQSL (MIN) and tDQSH
(MIN) specifications. tDQSL (MAX) and tDQSH (MAX) specifications are not applicable
during write leveling mode. The DQS must be able to distinguish the CK’s rising edge
within tWLS and tWLH. The prime DQ will output the CK’s status asynchronously from
the associated DQS rising edge CK capture within tWLO. The remaining DQ that always
drive LOW when DQS is toggling must be LOW within tWLOE after the first tWLO is sat-
isfied (the prime DQ going LOW). As previously noted, DQS is an input and not an out-
put during this process. Figure 44 (page 115) depicts the basic timing parameters for
the overall write leveling procedure.
The memory controller will most likely sample each applicable prime DQ state and de-
termine whether to increment or decrement its DQS delay setting. After the memory
controller performs enough DQS toggles to detect the CK’s 0-to-1 transition, the memo-
ry controller should lock the DQS delay setting for that DRAM. After locking the DQS
setting is locked, leveling for the rank will have been achieved, and the write leveling
mode for the rank should be disabled or reprogrammed (if write leveling of another
rank follows).

Write Leveling Mode Exit Procedure
After the DRAM are leveled, they must exit from write leveling mode before the normal
mode can be used. Figure 45 depicts a general procedure for exiting write leveling
mode. After the last rising DQS (capturing a 1 at T0), the memory controller should stop
driving the DQS signals after tWLO (MAX) delay plus enough delay to enable the memo-
ry controller to capture the applicable prime DQ state (at ~Tb0). The DQ balls become
undefined when DQS no longer remains LOW, and they remain undefined until tMOD
after the MRS command (at Te1).
The ODT input should be de-asserted LOW such that ODTLoff (MIN) expires after the
DQS is no longer driving LOW. When ODT LOW satisfies tIS, ODT must be kept LOW (at
~Tb0) until the DRAM is ready for either another rank to be leveled or until the normal
mode can be used. After DQS termination is switched off, write level mode should be
disabled via the MRS command (at Tc2). After tMOD is satisfied (at Te1), any valid com-
mand may be registered by the DRAM. Some MRS commands may be issued after tMRD
(at Td1).

Initialization
The following sequence is required for power-up and initialization, as shown in Figure
46 (page 118):
1. Apply power. RESET# is recommended to be below 0.2 × VDDQ during power ramp
to ensure the outputs remain disabled (High-Z) and ODT off (RTT is also High-Z).
All other inputs, including ODT, may be undefined.
During power-up, either of the following conditions may exist and must be met:
• Condition A:
– VDD and VDDQ are driven from a single-power converter output and are
ramped with a maximum delta voltage between them of ΔV ≤ 300mV. Slope re-
versal of any power supply signal is allowed. The voltage levels on all balls oth-
er than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to VDDQ and VDD on
one side, and must be greater than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side.
– Both VDD and VDDQ power supplies ramp to VDD,min and VDDQ,min within
tVDDPR = 200ms.
– VREFDQ tracks VDD × 0.5, VREFCA tracks VDD × 0.5.
– VTT is limited to 0.95V when the power ramp is complete and is not applied
directly to the device; however, tVTD should be greater than or equal to 0 to
avoid device latchup.
• Condition B:
– VDD may be applied before or at the same time as VDDQ.
– VDDQ may be applied before or at the same time as VTT, VREFDQ, and VREFCA.
– No slope reversals are allowed in the power supply ramp for this condition.
2. Until stable power, maintain RESET# LOW to ensure the outputs remain disabled
(High-Z). After the power is stable, RESET# must be LOW for at least 200µs to be-
gin the initialization process. ODT will remain in the High-Z state while RESET# is
LOW and until CKE is registered HIGH.
3. CKE must be LOW 10ns prior to RESET# transitioning HIGH.
4. After RESET# transitions HIGH, wait 500µs (minus one clock) with CKE LOW.
5. After the CKE LOW time, CKE may be brought HIGH (synchronously) and only
NOP or DES commands may be issued. The clock must be present and valid for at
least 10ns (and a minimum of five clocks) and ODT must be driven LOW at least
tIS prior to CKE being registered HIGH. When CKE is registered HIGH, it must be
continuously registered HIGH until the full initialization process is complete.
6. After CKE is registered HIGH and after tXPR has been satisfied, MRS commands
may be issued. Issue an MRS (LOAD MODE) command to MR2 with the applica-
ble settings (provide LOW to BA2 and BA0 and HIGH to BA1).
7. Issue an MRS command to MR3 with the applicable settings.
8. Issue an MRS command to MR1 with the applicable settings, including enabling
the DLL and configuring ODT.
9. Issue an MRS command to MR0 with the applicable settings, including a DLL RE-
SET command. tDLLK (512) cycles of clock input are required to lock the DLL.
10. Issue a ZQCL command to calibrate RTT and RON values for the process voltage
temperature (PVT). Prior to normal operation, tZQinit must be satisfied.
11. When tDLLK and tZQinit have been satisfied, the DDR3 SDRAM will be ready for
normal operation.

Voltage Initialization / Change
If the SDRAM is powered up and initialized for the 1.35V operating voltage range, volt-
age can be increased to the 1.5V operating range provided the following conditions are
met (See Figure 47 (page 120)):
• Just prior to increasing the 1.35V operating voltages, no further commands are issued,
other than NOPs or COMMAND INHIBITs, and all banks are in the precharge state.
• The 1.5V operating voltages are stable prior to issuing new commands, other than
NOPs or COMMAND INHIBITs.
• The DLL is reset and relocked after the 1.5V operating voltages are stable and prior to
any READ command.
• The ZQ calibration is performed. tZQinit must be satisfied after the 1.5V operating
voltages are stable and prior to any READ command.
If the SDRAM is powered up and initialized for the 1.5V operating voltage range, voltage
can be reduced to the 1.35V operation range provided the following conditions are met
(See Figure 47 (page 120)) :
• Just prior to reducing the 1.5V operating voltages, no further commands are issued,
other than NOPs or COMMAND INHIBITs, and all banks are in the precharge state.
• The 1.35V operating voltages are stable prior to issuing new commands, other than
NOPs or COMMAND INHIBITs.
• The DLL is reset and relocked after the 1.35V operating voltages are stable and prior to
any READ command.
• The ZQ calibration is performed. tZQinit must be satisfied after the 1.35V operating
voltages are stable and prior to any READ command.

Mode Registers
Mode registers (MR0–MR3) are used to define various modes of programmable opera-
tions of the DDR3 SDRAM. A mode register is programmed via the mode register set
(MRS) command during initialization, and it retains the stored information (except for
MR0[8], which is self-clearing) until it is reprogrammed, RESET# goes LOW, the device
loses power.
Contents of a mode register can be altered by re-executing the MRS command. Even if
the user wants to modify only a subset of the mode register’s variables, all variables
must be programmed when the MRS command is issued. Reprogramming the mode
register will not alter the contents of the memory array, provided it is performed cor-
rectly.
The MRS command can only be issued (or re-issued) when all banks are idle and in the
precharged state (tRP is satisfied and no data bursts are in progress). After an MRS com-
mand has been issued, two parameters must be satisfied: tMRD and tMOD. The control-
ler must wait tMRD before initiating any subsequent MRS commands.

Notes: 1. Prior to issuing the MRS command, all banks must be idle and precharged, tRP (MIN)

2. tMRD specifies the MRS to MRS command minimum cycle time.
3. CKE must be registered HIGH from the MRS command until tMRSPDEN (MIN) (see Pow-
er-Down Mode (page 169)).
4. For a CAS latency change, tXPDLL timing must be met before any non-MRS command.
The controller must also wait tMOD before initiating any non-MRS commands (exclud-
ing NOP and DES). The DRAM requires tMOD in order to update the requested features,
with the exception of DLL RESET, which requires additional time. Until tMOD has been
satisfied, the updated features are to be assumed unavailable.

Notes: 1. Prior to issuing the MRS command, all banks must be idle (they must be precharged, tRP

2. Prior to Ta2 when tMOD (MIN) is being satisfied, no commands (except NOP/DES) may be
issued.
3. If RTT was previously enabled, ODT must be registered LOW at T0 so that ODTL is satis-
fied prior to Ta1. ODT must also be registered LOW at each rising CK edge from T0 until
tMODmin is satisfied at Ta2.
4. CKE must be registered HIGH from the MRS command until tMRSPDEN (MIN), at which
time power-down may occur (see Power-Down Mode (page 169)).
Mode Register 0 (MR0)
The base register, mode register 0 (MR0), is used to define various DDR3 SDRAM modes
of operation. These definitions include the selection of a burst length, burst type, CAS
latency, operating mode, DLL RESET, write recovery, and precharge power-down mode
(see Figure 50 (page 123)).
Burst Length
Burst length is defined by MR0[1:0]. Read and write accesses to the DDR3 SDRAM are
burst-oriented, with the burst length being programmable to 4 (chop) mode, 8 (fixed)
mode, or selectable using A12 during a READ/WRITE command (on-the-fly). The burst
length determines the maximum number of column locations that can be accessed for
a given READ or WRITE command. When MR0[1:0] is set to 01 during a READ/WRITE
command, if A12 = 0, then BC4 mode is selected. If A12 = 1, then BL8 mode is selected.
Specific timing diagrams, and turnaround between READ/WRITE, are shown in the
READ/WRITE sections of this document.
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,
meaning that the burst will wrap within the block if a boundary is reached. The block is
uniquely selected by A[i:2] when the burst length is set to 4 and by A[i:3] when the burst
length is set to 8, where Ai is the most significant column address bit for a given config-
uration. The remaining (least significant) address bit(s) is (are) used to select the start-

Burst Type
Accesses within a given burst can be programmed to either a sequential or an inter-
leaved order. The burst type is selected via MR0[3] (see Figure 50 (page 123)). The order-
ing of accesses within a burst is determined by the burst length, the burst type, and the
starting column address. DDR3 only supports 4-bit burst chop and 8-bit burst access
modes. Full interleave address ordering is supported for READs, while WRITEs are re-
stricted to nibble (BC4) or word (BL8) boundaries.

for BL8.
2. Z = Data and strobe output drivers are in tri-state.
3. V = A valid logic level (0 or 1), but the respective input buffer ignores level-on input
pins.
4. X = “Don’t Care.”
DLL RESET
DLL RESET is defined by MR0[8] (see Figure 50 (page 123)). Programming MR0[8] to 1
activates the DLL RESET function. MR0[8] is self-clearing, meaning it returns to a value
of 0 after the DLL RESET function has been initiated.
Anytime the DLL RESET function is initiated, CKE must be HIGH and the clock held
stable for 512 (tDLLK) clock cycles before a READ command can be issued. This is to
allow time for the internal clock to be synchronized with the external clock. Failing to
wait for synchronization can result in invalid output timing specifications, such as
tDQSCK timings.

Write Recovery
WRITE recovery time is defined by MR0[11:9] (see Figure 50 (page 123)). Write recovery
values of 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, or 12 can be used by programming MR0[11:9]. The user is re-
quired to program the correct value of write recovery, which is calculated by dividing
tWR (ns) by tCK (ns) and rounding up a noninteger value to the next integer:
WR (cycles) = roundup (tWR (ns)/tCK (ns)).
Precharge Power-Down (Precharge PD)
The precharge power-down (precharge PD) bit applies only when precharge power-
down mode is being used. When MR0[12] is set to 0, the DLL is off during precharge
power-down, providing a lower standby current mode; however, tXPDLL must be satis-
fied when exiting. When MR0[12] is set to 1, the DLL continues to run during precharge
power-down mode to enable a faster exit of precharge power-down mode; however, tXP
must be satisfied when exiting (see Power-Down Mode (page 169)).
CAS Latency (CL)
CAS latency (CL) is defined by MR0[6:4], as shown in Figure 50 (page 123). CAS latency
is the delay, in clock cycles, between the internal READ command and the availability of
the first bit of output data. CL can be set to 5 through 14. DDR3 SDRAM do not support
half-clock latencies.
Examples of CL = 6 and CL = 8 are shown below. If an internal READ command is regis-
tered at clock edge n, and the CAS latency is m clocks, the data will be available nomi-
nally coincident with clock edge n + m. See Speed Bin Tables for the CLs supported at
various operating frequencies.

Mode Register 1 (MR1)
The mode register 1 (MR1) controls additional functions and features not available in
the other mode registers: Q OFF (OUTPUT DISABLE), TDQS (for the x8 configuration
only), DLL ENABLE/DLL DISABLE, RTT,nom value (ODT), WRITE LEVELING, POSTED
CAS ADDITIVE latency, and OUTPUT DRIVE STRENGTH. These functions are control-
led via the bits shown in Figure 52 (page 127). The MR1 register is programmed via the
MRS command and retains the stored information until it is reprogrammed, until RE-
SET# goes LOW, or until the device loses power. Reprogramming the MR1 register will
not alter the contents of the memory array, provided it is performed correctly.
The MR1 register must be loaded when all banks are idle and no bursts are in progress.
The controller must satisfy the specified timing parameters tMRD and tMOD before ini-
tiating a subsequent operation.

DLL Enable/DLL Disable
The DLL may be enabled or disabled by programming MR1[0] during the LOAD MODE
command, as shown in Figure 52 (page 127). The DLL must be enabled for normal oper-
ation. DLL enable is required during power-up initialization and upon returning to nor-
mal operation after having disabled the DLL for the purpose of debugging or evalua-
tion. Enabling the DLL should always be followed by resetting the DLL using the appro-
priate LOAD MODE command.
If the DLL is enabled prior to entering self refresh mode, the DLL is automatically disa-
bled when entering SELF REFRESH operation and is automatically re-enabled and reset
upon exit of SELF REFRESH operation. If the DLL is disabled prior to entering self re-

fresh mode, the DLL remains disabled even upon exit of SELF REFRESH operation until
it is re-enabled and reset.
The DRAM is not tested to check—nor does Micron warrant compliance with—normal
mode timings or functionality when the DLL is disabled. An attempt has been made to
have the DRAM operate in the normal mode where reasonably possible when the DLL
has been disabled; however, by industry standard, a few known exceptions are defined:
• ODT is not allowed to be used
• The output data is no longer edge-aligned to the clock
• CL and CWL can only be six clocks
When the DLL is disabled, timing and functionality can vary from the normal operation
specifications when the DLL is enabled (see DLL Disable Mode (page 106)). Disabling
the DLL also implies the need to change the clock frequency (see Input Clock Frequen-
cy Change (page 110)).
Output Drive Strength
The DDR3 SDRAM uses a programmable impedance output buffer. The drive strength
mode register setting is defined by MR1[5, 1]. RZQ/7 (34Ω [NOM]) is the primary output
driver impedance setting for DDR3 SDRAM devices. To calibrate the output driver im-
pedance, an external precision resistor (RZQ) is connected between the ZQ ball and
VSSQ. The value of the resistor must be 240Ω ±1%.
The output impedance is set during initialization. Additional impedance calibration up-
dates do not affect device operation, and all data sheet timings and current specifica-
tions are met during an update.
To meet the 34Ω specification, the output drive strength must be set to 34Ω during initi-
alization. To obtain a calibrated output driver impedance after power-up, the DDR3
SDRAM needs a calibration command that is part of the initialization and reset proce-
dure.
OUTPUT ENABLE/DISABLE
The OUTPUT ENABLE function is defined by MR1[12], as shown in Figure 52 (page
127). When enabled (MR1[12] = 0), all outputs (DQ, DQS, DQS#) function when in the
normal mode of operation. When disabled (MR1[12] = 1), all DDR3 SDRAM outputs
(DQ and DQS, DQS#) are tri-stated. The output disable feature is intended to be used
during IDD characterization of the READ current and during tDQSS margining (write
leveling) only.
TDQS Enable
Termination data strobe (TDQS) is a feature of the x8 DDR3 SDRAM configuration that
provides termination resistance (RTT) and may be useful in some system configurations.
TDQS is not supported in x4 or x16 configurations. When enabled via the mode register
(MR1[11]), the RTT that is applied to DQS and DQS# is also applied to TDQS and TDQS#.
In contrast to the RDQS function of DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3’s TDQS provides the termina-
tion resistance RTT only. The OUTPUT DATA STROBE function of RDQS is not provided
by TDQS; thus, RON does not apply to TDQS and TDQS#. The TDQS and DM functions
share the same ball. When the TDQS function is enabled via the mode register, the DM
function is not supported. When the TDQS function is disabled, the DM function is pro-
vided, and the TDQS# ball is not used. The TDQS function is available in the x8 DDR3

SDRAM configuration only and must be disabled via the mode register for the x4 and
x16 configurations.
On-Die Termination
ODT resistance RTT,nom is defined by MR1[9, 6, 2] (see Figure 52 (page 127)). The RTT
termination value applies to the DQ, DM, DQS, DQS#, and TDQS, TDQS# balls. DDR3
supports multiple RTT termination values based on RZQ/n where n can be 2, 4, 6, 8, or
12 and RZQ is 240Ω.
Unlike DDR2, DDR3 ODT must be turned off prior to reading data out and must remain
off during a READ burst. RTT,nom termination is allowed any time after the DRAM is ini-
tialized, calibrated, and not performing read access, or when it is not in self refresh
mode. Additionally, write accesses with dynamic ODT (RTT(WR)) enabled temporarily re-
places RTT,nom with RTT(WR).
The actual effective termination, RTT(EFF), may be different from the RTT targeted due to
nonlinearity of the termination. For RTT(EFF) values and calculations (see On-Die Termi-
nation (ODT) (page 179)).
The ODT feature is designed to improve signal integrity of the memory channel by ena-
bling the DDR3 SDRAM controller to independently turn on/off ODT for any or all devi-
ces. The ODT input control pin is used to determine when RTT is turned on (ODTL on)
and off (ODTL off), assuming ODT has been enabled via MR1[9, 6, 2].
Timings for ODT are detailed in On-Die Termination (ODT) (page 179).
WRITE LEVELING
The WRITE LEVELING function is enabled by MR1[7], as shown in Figure 52 (page 127).
Write leveling is used (during initialization) to deskew the DQS strobe to clock offset as
a result of fly-by topology designs. For better signal integrity, DDR3 SDRAM memory
modules adopted fly-by topology for the commands, addresses, control signals, and
clocks.
The fly-by topology benefits from a reduced number of stubs and their lengths. Howev-
er, fly-by topology induces flight time skews between the clock and DQS strobe (and
DQ) at each DRAM on the DIMM. Controllers will have a difficult time maintaining
tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specifications without supporting write leveling in systems
which use fly-by topology-based modules. Write leveling timing and detailed operation
information is provided in Write Leveling (page 112).
POSTED CAS ADDITIVE Latency
POSTED CAS ADDITIVE latency (AL) is supported to make the command and data bus
efficient for sustainable bandwidths in DDR3 SDRAM. MR1[4, 3] define the value of AL,
as shown in Figure 53 (page 130). MR1[4, 3] enable the user to program the DDR3
SDRAM with AL = 0, CL - 1, or CL - 2.

Mode Register 2 (MR2)
The mode register 2 (MR2) controls additional functions and features not available in
the other mode registers. These additional functions are CAS WRITE latency (CWL), AU-
TO SELF REFRESH (ASR), SELF REFRESH TEMPERATURE (SRT), and DYNAMIC ODT
(RTT(WR)). These functions are controlled via the bits shown in Figure 54. The MR2 is
programmed via the MRS command and will retain the stored information until it is
programmed again or until the device loses power. Reprogramming the MR2 register
will not alter the contents of the memory array, provided it is performed correctly. The
MR2 register must be loaded when all banks are idle and no data bursts are in progress,
and the controller must wait the specified time tMRD and tMOD before initiating a sub-
sequent operation.

CAS WRITE Latency (CWL)
CWL is defined by MR2[5:3] and is the delay, in clock cycles, from the releasing of the
internal write to the latching of the first data in. CWL must be correctly set to the corre-
sponding operating clock frequency (see Figure 54 (page 131)). The overall WRITE la-
tency (WL) is equal to CWL + AL (Figure 52 (page 127)).

AUTO SELF REFRESH (ASR)
Mode register MR2[6] is used to disable/enable the ASR function. When ASR is disabled,
the self refresh mode’s refresh rate is assumed to be at the normal 85°C limit (some-
times referred to as 1x refresh rate). In the disabled mode, ASR requires the user to en-

sure the DRAM never exceeds a TC of 85°C while in self refresh unless the user enables
the SRT feature listed below when the TC is between 85°C and 95°C.
Enabling ASR assumes the DRAM self refresh rate is changed automatically from 1x to
2x when the case temperature exceeds 85°C. This enables the user to operate the DRAM
beyond the standard 85°C limit up to the optional extended temperature range of 95°C
while in self refresh mode.
The standard self refresh current test specifies test conditions to normal case tempera-
ture (85°C) only, meaning if ASR is enabled, the standard self refresh current specifica-
tions do not apply (see Extended Temperature Usage).
SELF REFRESH TEMPERATURE (SRT)
Mode register MR2[7] is used to disable/enable the SRT function. When SRT is disabled,
the self refresh mode’s refresh rate is assumed to be at the normal 85°C limit (some-
times referred to as 1x refresh rate). In the disabled mode, SRT requires the user to en-
sure the DRAM never exceeds a TC of 85°C while in self refresh mode unless the user en-
ables ASR.
When SRT is enabled, the DRAM self refresh is changed internally from 1x to 2x, regard-
less of the case temperature. This enables the user to operate the DRAM beyond the
standard 85°C limit up to the optional extended temperature range of 95°C while in self
refresh mode. The standard self refresh current test specifies test conditions to normal
case temperature (85°C) only, meaning if SRT is enabled, the standard self refresh cur-
rent specifications do not apply (see Extended Temperature Usage).
SRT vs. ASR
If the normal case temperature limit of 85°C is not exceeded, then neither SRT nor ASR
is required, and both can be disabled throughout operation. However, if the extended
temperature option of 95°C is needed, the user is required to provide a 2x refresh rate
during (manual) refresh and to enable either the SRT or the ASR to ensure self refresh is
performed at the 2x rate.
SRT forces the DRAM to switch the internal self refresh rate from 1x to 2x. Self refresh is
performed at the 2x refresh rate regardless of the case temperature.
ASR automatically switches the DRAM’s internal self refresh rate from 1x to 2x. Howev-
er, while in self refresh mode, ASR enables the refresh rate to automatically adjust be-
tween 1x to 2x over the supported temperature range. One other disadvantage with ASR
is the DRAM cannot always switch from a 1x to a 2x refresh rate at an exact case temper-
ature of 85°C. Although the DRAM will support data integrity when it switches from a 1x
to a 2x refresh rate, it may switch at a lower temperature than 85°C.
Since only one mode is necessary, SRT and ASR cannot be enabled at the same time.
DYNAMIC ODT
The dynamic ODT (RTT(WR)) feature is defined by MR2[10, 9]. Dynamic ODT is enabled
when a value is selected. This new DDR3 SDRAM feature enables the ODT termination
value to change without issuing an MRS command, essentially changing the ODT ter-
mination on-the-fly.
With dynamic ODT (RTT(WR)) enabled, the DRAM switches from normal ODT (RTT,nom)
to dynamic ODT (RTT(WR)) when beginning a WRITE burst and subsequently switches

back to ODT (RTT,nom) at the completion of the WRITE burst. If RTT,nom is disabled, the
RTT,nom value will be High-Z. Special timing parameters must be adhered to when dy-
namic ODT (RTT(WR)) is enabled: ODTLcnw, ODTLcnw4, ODTLcnw8, ODTH4, ODTH8,
and tADC.
Dynamic ODT is only applicable during WRITE cycles. If ODT (RTT,nom) is disabled, dy-
namic ODT (RTT(WR)) is still permitted. RTT,nom and RTT(WR) can be used independent of
one other. Dynamic ODT is not available during write leveling mode, regardless of the
state of ODT (RTT,nom). For details on dynamic ODT operation, refer to Dynamic ODT
(page 181).
Mode Register 3 (MR3)
The mode register 3 (MR3) controls additional functions and features not available in
the other mode registers. Currently defined is the MULTIPURPOSE REGISTER (MPR).
This function is controlled via the bits shown in Figure 56 (page 133). The MR3 is pro-
grammed via the LOAD MODE command and retains the stored information until it is
programmed again or until the device loses power. Reprogramming the MR3 register
will not alter the contents of the memory array, provided it is performed correctly. The
MR3 register must be loaded when all banks are idle and no data bursts are in progress,
and the controller must wait the specified time tMRD and tMOD before initiating a sub-
sequent operation.

MULTIPURPOSE REGISTER (MPR)
The MULTIPURPOSE REGISTER function is used to output a predefined system timing
calibration bit sequence. Bit 2 is the master bit that enables or disables access to the
MPR register, and bits 1 and 0 determine which mode the MPR is placed in. The basic
concept of the multipurpose register is shown in Figure 57 (page 134).
If MR3[2] is a 0, then the MPR access is disabled, and the DRAM operates in normal
mode. However, if MR3[2] is a 1, then the DRAM no longer outputs normal read data
but outputs MPR data as defined by MR3[0, 1]. If MR3[0, 1] is equal to 00, then a prede-
fined read pattern for system calibration is selected.
To enable the MPR, the MRS command is issued to MR3, and MR3[2] = 1. Prior to issu-
ing the MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all banks are precharged,

and tRP is met). When the MPR is enabled, any subsequent READ or RDAP commands
are redirected to the multipurpose register. The resulting operation when either a READ
or a RDAP command is issued, is defined by MR3[1:0] when the MPR is enabled (see
Table 75 (page 135)). When the MPR is enabled, only READ or RDAP commands are al-
lowed until a subsequent MRS command is issued with the MPR disabled (MR3[2] = 0).
Power-down mode, self refresh, and any other nonREAD/RDAP commands are not al-
lowed during MPR enable mode. The RESET function is supported during MPR enable
mode.

MPR Functional Description
The MPR JEDEC definition enables either a prime DQ (DQ0 on a x4 and a x8; on a x16,
DQ0 = lower byte and DQ8 = upper byte) to output the MPR data with the remaining
DQs driven LOW, or for all DQs to output the MPR data . The MPR readout supports
fixed READ burst and READ burst chop (MRS and OTF via A12/BC#) with regular READ
latencies and AC timings applicable, provided the DLL is locked as required.

MPR addressing for a valid MPR read is as follows:
• A[1:0] must be set to 00 as the burst order is fixed per nibble
• A2 selects the burst order:
– BL8, A2 is set to 0, and the burst order is fixed to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
• For burst chop 4 cases, the burst order is switched on the nibble base along with the
following:
– A2 = 0; burst order = 0, 1, 2, 3
– A2 = 1; burst order = 4, 5, 6, 7
• Burst order bit 0 (the first bit) is assigned to LSB, and burst order bit 7 (the last bit) is
assigned to MSB
• A[9:3] are a “Don’t Care”
• A10 is a “Don’t Care”
• A11 is a “Don’t Care”
• A12: Selects burst chop mode on-the-fly, if enabled within MR0
• A13 is a “Don’t Care”
• BA[2:0] are a “Don’t Care”
MPR Register Address Definitions and Bursting Order
The MPR currently supports a single data format. This data format is a predefined read
pattern for system calibration. The predefined pattern is always a repeating 0–1 bit pat-
tern.
Examples of the different types of predefined READ pattern bursts are shown in the fol-
lowing figures.

MPR Read Predefined Pattern
The predetermined read calibration pattern is a fixed pattern of 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1. The
following is an example of using the read out predetermined read calibration pattern.
The example is to perform multiple reads from the multipurpose register to do system
level read timing calibration based on the predetermined and standardized pattern.
The following protocol outlines the steps used to perform the read calibration:
1. Precharge all banks
2. After tRP is satisfied, set MRS, MR3[2] = 1 and MR3[1:0] = 00. This redirects all sub-
sequent reads and loads the predefined pattern into the MPR. As soon as tMRD
and tMOD are satisfied, the MPR is available
3. Data WRITE operations are not allowed until the MPR returns to the normal
DRAM state
4. Issue a read with burst order information (all other address pins are “Don’t Care”):
• A[1:0] = 00 (data burst order is fixed starting at nibble)
• A2 = 0 (for BL8, burst order is fixed as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
• A12 = 1 (use BL8)
5. After RL = AL + CL, the DRAM bursts out the predefined read calibration pattern
(0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1)
6. The memory controller repeats the calibration reads until read data capture at
memory controller is optimized
7. After the last MPR READ burst and after tMPRR has been satisfied, issue MRS,
MR3[2] = 0, and MR3[1:0] = “Don’t Care” to the normal DRAM state. All subse-
quent read and write accesses will be regular reads and writes from/to the DRAM
array
8. When tMRD and tMOD are satisfied from the last MRS, the regular DRAM com-
mands (such as activate a memory bank for regular read or write access) are per-
mitted
MODE REGISTER SET (MRS) Command
The mode registers are loaded via inputs BA[2:0], A[13:0]. BA[2:0] determine which
mode register is programmed:
• BA2 = 0, BA1 = 0, BA0 = 0 for MR0
• BA2 = 0, BA1 = 0, BA0 = 1 for MR1
• BA2 = 0, BA1 = 1, BA0 = 0 for MR2
• BA2 = 0, BA1 = 1, BA0 = 1 for MR3
The MRS command can only be issued (or re-issued) when all banks are idle and in the
precharged state (tRP is satisfied and no data bursts are in progress). The controller
must wait the specified time tMRD before initiating a subsequent operation such as an
ACTIVATE command (see Figure 48 (page 121)). There is also a restriction after issuing
an MRS command with regard to when the updated functions become available. This
parameter is specified by tMOD. Both tMRD and tMOD parameters are shown in Figure
48 (page 121) and Figure 49 (page 122). Violating either of these requirements will result
in unspecified operation.

ZQ CALIBRATION Operation
The ZQ CALIBRATION command is used to calibrate the DRAM output drivers (RON)
and ODT values (RTT) over process, voltage, and temperature, provided a dedicated
240Ω (±1%) external resistor is connected from the DRAM’s ZQ ball to VSSQ.
DDR3 SDRAM require a longer time to calibrate RON and ODT at power-up initialization
and self refresh exit, and a relatively shorter time to perform periodic calibrations.
DDR3 SDRAM defines two ZQ CALIBRATION commands: ZQCL and ZQCS. An example
of ZQ calibration timing is shown below.
All banks must be precharged and tRP must be met before ZQCL or ZQCS commands
can be issued to the DRAM. No other activities (other than issuing another ZQCL or
ZQCS command) can be performed on the DRAM channel by the controller for the du-
ration of tZQinit or tZQoper. The quiet time on the DRAM channel helps accurately cali-
brate RON and ODT. After DRAM calibration is achieved, the DRAM should disable the
ZQ ball’s current consumption path to reduce power.
ZQ CALIBRATION commands can be issued in parallel to DLL RESET and locking time.
Upon self refresh exit, an explicit ZQCL is required if ZQ calibration is desired.
In dual-rank systems that share the ZQ resistor between devices, the controller must not
enable overlap of tZQinit, tZQoper, or tZQCS between ranks.

ACTIVATE Operation
Before any READ or WRITE commands can be issued to a bank within the DRAM, a row
in that bank must be opened (activated). This is accomplished via the ACTIVATE com-
mand, which selects both the bank and the row to be activated.
After a row is opened with an ACTIVATE command, a READ or WRITE command may
be issued to that row, subject to the tRCD specification. However, if the additive latency
is programmed correctly, a READ or WRITE command may be issued prior to tRCD
(MIN). In this operation, the DRAM enables a READ or WRITE command to be issued
after the ACTIVATE command for that bank, but prior to tRCD (MIN) with the require-
ment that (ACTIVATE-to-READ/WRITE) + AL ≥ tRCD (MIN) (see Posted CAS Additive
Latency). 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 ACTIVATE command on
which a READ or WRITE command can be entered. The same procedure is used to con-
vert other specification limits from time units to clock cycles.
When at least one bank is open, any READ-to-READ command delay or WRITE-to-
WRITE command delay is restricted to tCCD (MIN).
A subsequent ACTIVATE command to a different row in the same bank can only be is-
sued after the previous active row has been closed (precharged). The minimum time in-
terval between successive ACTIVATE commands to the same bank is defined by tRC.
A subsequent ACTIVATE command to another bank can be issued while the first bank is
being accessed, which results in a reduction of total row-access overhead. The mini-
mum time interval between successive ACTIVATE commands to different banks is de-
fined by tRRD. No more than four bank ACTIVATE commands may be issued in a given
tFAW (MIN) period, and the tRRD (MIN) restriction still applies. The tFAW (MIN) param-
eter applies, regardless of the number of banks already opened or closed.

READ Operation
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command. The starting column and bank ad-
dresses 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
automatically precharged at the completion of the burst. If auto precharge is disabled,
the row will be left open after the completion of the burst.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element from the starting column address is
available READ latency (RL) clocks later. RL is defined as the sum of posted CAS additive
latency (AL) and CAS latency (CL) (RL = AL + CL). The value of AL and CL is programma-
ble in the mode register via the MRS command. Each subsequent data-out element is
valid nominally at the next positive or negative clock edge (that is, at the next crossing
of CK and CK#). Figure 65 shows an example of RL based on a CL setting of 8 and an AL
setting of 0.

Notes: 1. DO n = data-out from column n.
2. Subsequent elements of data-out appear in the programmed order following DO n.
DQS, DQS# is driven by the DRAM along with the output data. The initial LOW state on
DQS and HIGH state on DQS# is known as the READ preamble (tRPRE). The LOW state
on DQS and the HIGH state on DQS#, coincident with the last data-out element, is
known as the READ postamble (tRPST). Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other
commands have been initiated, the DQ goes High-Z. A detailed explanation of tDQSQ
(valid data-out skew), tQH (data-out window hold), and the valid data window are de-
picted in Figure 76 (page 153). A detailed explanation of tDQSCK (DQS transition skew
to CK) is also depicted in Figure 76 (page 153).
Data from any READ burst may be concatenated with data from a subsequent READ
command to provide a continuous flow of data. The first data element from the new
burst follows the last element of a completed burst. The new READ command should be
issued tCCD cycles after the first READ command. This is shown for BL8 in Figure 66
(page 147). If BC4 is enabled, tCCD must still be met, which will cause a gap in the data
output, as shown in Figure 67 (page 147). Nonconsecutive READ data is reflected in
Figure 68 (page 148). DDR3 SDRAM does not allow interrupting or truncating any
READ burst.

Data from any READ burst must be completed before a subsequent WRITE burst is al-
lowed. An example of a READ burst followed by a WRITE burst for BL8 is shown in Fig-
ure 69 (page 148) (BC4 is shown in Figure 70 (page 149)). To ensure the READ data is
completed before the WRITE data is on the bus, the minimum READ-to-WRITE timing
is RL + tCCD - WL + 2tCK.
A READ burst may be followed by a PRECHARGE command to the same bank, provided
auto precharge is not activated. The minimum READ-to-PRECHARGE command spac-
ing to the same bank is four clocks and must also satisfy a minimum analog time from
the READ command. This time is called tRTP (READ-to-PRECHARGE). tRTP starts AL
cycles later than the READ command. Examples for BL8 are shown in Figure 71 (page
149) and BC4 in Figure 72 (page 150). Following the PRECHARGE command, a subse-
quent command to the same bank cannot be issued until tRP is met. The PRECHARGE
command followed by another PRECHARGE command to the same bank is allowed.
However, the precharge period will be determined by the last PRECHARGE command
issued to the bank.
If A10 is HIGH when a READ command is issued, the READ with auto precharge func-
tion is engaged. The DRAM starts an auto precharge operation on the rising edge, which
is AL + tRTP cycles after the READ command. DRAM support a tRAS lockout feature (see
Figure 74 (page 150)). If tRAS (MIN) is not satisfied at the edge, the starting point of the
auto precharge operation will be delayed until tRAS (MIN) is satisfied. If tRTP (MIN) is
not satisfied at the edge, the starting point of the auto precharge operation is delayed
until tRTP (MIN) is satisfied. In case the internal precharge is pushed out by tRTP, tRP
starts at the point at which the internal precharge happens (not at the next rising clock
edge after this event). The time from READ with auto precharge to the next ACTIVATE
command to the same bank is AL + (tRTP + tRP)*, where * means rounded up to the next
integer. In any event, internal precharge does not start earlier than four clocks after the
last 8n-bit prefetch.

DQS to DQ output timing is shown in Figure 75 (page 152). The DQ transitions between
valid data outputs must be within tDQSQ of the crossing point of DQS, DQS#. DQS must
also maintain a minimum HIGH and LOW time of tQSH and tQSL. Prior to the READ
preamble, the DQ balls will either be floating or terminated, depending on the status of
the ODT signal.
Figure 76 (page 153) shows the strobe-to-clock timing during a READ. The crossing
point DQS, DQS# must transition within ±tDQSCK of the clock crossing point. The data
out has no timing relationship to CK, only to DQS, as shown in Figure 76 (page 153).
Figure 76 (page 153) also shows the READ preamble and postamble. Typically, both
DQS and DQS# are High-Z to save power (VDDQ). Prior to data output from the DRAM,
DQS is driven LOW and DQS# is HIGH for tRPRE. This is known as the READ preamble.
The READ postamble, tRPST, is one half clock from the last DQS, DQS# transition. Dur-
ing the READ postamble, DQS is driven LOW and DQS# is HIGH. When complete, the
DQ is disabled or continues terminating, depending on the state of the ODT signal. Fig-
ure 79 (page 155) demonstrates how to measure tRPST.

tHZ and tLZ transitions occur in the same access time as valid data transitions. These
parameters are referenced to a specific voltage level that specifies when the device out-
put is no longer driving tHZDQS and tHZDQ, or begins driving tLZDQS, tLZDQ. Figure
77 (page 154) shows a method of calculating the point when the device is no longer
driving tHZDQS and tHZDQ, or begins driving tLZDQS, tLZDQ, by measuring the signal
at two different voltages. The actual voltage measurement points are not critical as long
as the calculation is consistent. The parameters tLZDQS, tLZDQ, tHZDQS, and tHZDQ
are defined as single-ended.

Notes: 1. Within a burst, the rising strobe edge is not necessarily fixed at tDQSCK (MIN) or tDQSCK
(MAX). Instead, the rising strobe edge can vary between tDQSCK (MIN) and tDQSCK
(MAX).
2. The DQS HIGH pulse width is defined by tQSH, and the DQS LOW pulse width is defined
by tQSL. Likewise, tLZDQS (MIN) and tHZDQS (MIN) are not tied to tDQSCK (MIN) (early
strobe case), and tLZDQS (MAX) and tHZDQS (MAX) are not tied to tDQSCK (MAX) (late
strobe case); however, they tend to track one another.
3. The minimum pulse width of the READ preamble is defined by tRPRE (MIN). The mini-
mum pulse width of the READ postamble is defined by tRPST (MIN).

WRITE Operation
WRITE bursts are initiated with a WRITE command. The starting column and bank ad-
dresses are provided with the WRITE command, and auto precharge is either enabled or
disabled for that access. If auto precharge is selected, the row being accessed is pre-
charged at the end of the WRITE burst. If auto precharge is not selected, the row will
remain open for subsequent accesses. After a WRITE command has been issued, the
WRITE burst may not be interrupted. For the generic WRITE commands used in Figure
82 (page 158) through Figure 90 (page 163), auto precharge is disabled.
During WRITE bursts, the first valid data-in element is registered on a rising edge of
DQS following the WRITE latency (WL) clocks later and subsequent data elements will
be registered on successive edges of DQS. WRITE latency (WL) is defined as the sum of
posted CAS additive latency (AL) and CAS WRITE latency (CWL): WL = AL + CWL. The
values of AL and CWL are programmed in the MR0 and MR2 registers, respectively. Prior
to the first valid DQS edge, a full cycle is needed (including a dummy crossover of DQS,
DQS#) and specified as the WRITE preamble shown in Figure 82 (page 158). The half
cycle on DQS following the last data-in element is known as the WRITE postamble.
The time between the WRITE command and the first valid edge of DQS is WL clocks
±tDQSS. Figure 83 (page 159) through Figure 90 (page 163) show the nominal case
where tDQSS = 0ns; however, Figure 82 (page 158) includes tDQSS (MIN) and tDQSS
(MAX) cases.
Data may be masked from completing a WRITE using data mask. The data mask occurs
on the DM ball aligned to the WRITE data. If DM is LOW, the WRITE completes normal-
ly. If DM is HIGH, that bit of data is masked.
Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other commands have been initiated, the DQ
will remain High-Z, and any additional input data will be ignored.
Data for any WRITE burst may be concatenated with a subsequent WRITE command to
provide a continuous flow of input data. The new WRITE command can be tCCD clocks
following the previous WRITE command. The first data element from the new burst is
applied after the last element of a completed burst. Figure 83 (page 159) and Figure 84
(page 159) show concatenated bursts. An example of nonconsecutive WRITEs is shown
in Figure 85 (page 160).
Data for any WRITE burst may be followed by a subsequent READ command after tWTR
has been met (see Figure 86 (page 160), Figure 87 (page 161), and Figure 88 (page
162)).
Data for any WRITE burst may be followed by a subsequent PRECHARGE command,
providing tWR has been met, as shown in Figure 89 (page 163) and Figure 90 (page
163).
Both tWTR and tWR starting time may vary, depending on the mode register settings
(fixed BC4, BL8 versus OTF).

DQ Input Timing
Figure 82 (page 158) shows the strobe-to-clock timing during a WRITE burst. DQS,
DQS# must transition within 0.25tCK of the clock transitions, as limited by tDQSS. All
data and data mask setup and hold timings are measured relative to the DQS, DQS#
crossing, not the clock crossing.
The WRITE preamble and postamble are also shown in Figure 82 (page 158). One clock
prior to data input to the DRAM, DQS must be HIGH and DQS# must be LOW. Then for
a half clock, DQS is driven LOW (DQS# is driven HIGH) during the WRITE preamble,
tWPRE. Likewise, DQS must be kept LOW by the controller after the last data is written
to the DRAM during the WRITE postamble, tWPST.
Data setup and hold times are also shown in Figure 82 (page 158). All setup and hold
times are measured from the crossing points of DQS and DQS#. These setup and hold
values pertain to data input and data mask input.
Additionally, the half period of the data input strobe is specified by tDQSH and tDQSL.

PRECHARGE Operation
Input A10 determines whether one bank or all banks are to be precharged and, in the
case where only one bank is to be precharged, inputs BA[2:0] select the bank.
When all banks are to be precharged, inputs BA[2:0] are treated as “Don’t Care.” After a
bank is precharged, it is in the idle state and must be activated prior to any READ or
WRITE commands being issued.
SELF REFRESH Operation
The SELF REFRESH operation is initiated like a REFRESH command except CKE is LOW.
The DLL is automatically disabled upon entering SELF REFRESH and is automatically
enabled and reset upon exiting SELF REFRESH.
All power supply inputs (including VREFCA and VREFDQ) must be maintained at valid lev-
els upon entry/exit and during self refresh mode operation. VREFDQ may float or not
drive VDDQ/2 while in self refresh mode under certain conditions:
• VSS < VREFDQ < VDD is maintained.
• VREFDQ is valid and stable prior to CKE going back HIGH.
• The first WRITE operation may not occur earlier than 512 clocks after VREFDQ is valid.
• All other self refresh mode exit timing requirements are met.
The DRAM must be idle with all banks in the precharge state (tRP is satisfied and no
bursts are in progress) before a self refresh entry command can be issued. ODT must
also be turned off before self refresh entry by registering the ODT ball LOW prior to the
self refresh entry command (see On-Die Termination (ODT) ( for timing requirements).
If RTT,nom and RTT(WR) are disabled in the mode registers, ODT can be a “Don’t Care.”
After the self refresh entry command is registered, CKE must be held LOW to keep the
DRAM in self refresh mode.
After the DRAM has entered self refresh mode, all external control signals, except CKE
and RESET#, are “Don’t Care.” The DRAM initiates a minimum of one REFRESH com-
mand internally within the tCKE period when it enters self refresh mode.
The requirements for entering and exiting self refresh mode depend on the state of the
clock during self refresh mode. First and foremost, the clock must be stable (meeting
tCK specifications) when self refresh mode is entered. If the clock remains stable and
the frequency is not altered while in self refresh mode, then the DRAM is allowed to exit
self refresh mode after tCKESR is satisfied (CKE is allowed to transition HIGH tCKESR
later than when CKE was registered LOW). Since the clock remains stable in self refresh
mode (no frequency change), tCKSRE and tCKSRX are not required. However, if the
clock is altered during self refresh mode (if it is turned-off or its frequency changes),
then tCKSRE and tCKSRX must be satisfied. When entering self refresh mode, tCKSRE
must be satisfied prior to altering the clock's frequency. Prior to exiting self refresh
mode, tCKSRX must be satisfied prior to registering CKE HIGH.
When CKE is HIGH during self refresh exit, NOP or DES must be issued for tXS time. tXS
is required for the completion of any internal refresh already in progress and must be
satisfied before a valid command not requiring a locked DLL can be issued to the de-
vice. tXS is also the earliest time self refresh re-entry may occur. Before a command re-
quiring a locked DLL can be applied, a ZQCL command must be issued, tZQOPER tim-
ing must be met, and tXSDLL must be satisfied. ODT must be off during tXSDLL.

Notes: 1. The clock must be valid and stable, meeting tCK specifications at least tCKSRE after en-
tering self refresh mode, and at least tCKSRX prior to exiting self refresh mode, if the
clock is stopped or altered between states Ta0 and Tb0. If the clock remains valid and
unchanged from entry and during self refresh mode, then tCKSRE and tCKSRX do not
apply; however, tCKESR must be satisfied prior to exiting at SRX.
2. ODT must be disabled and RTT off prior to entering self refresh at state T1. If both
RTT,nom and RTT(WR) are disabled in the mode registers, ODT can be a “Don’t Care.”
3. Self refresh entry (SRE) is synchronous via a REFRESH command with CKE LOW.
4. A NOP or DES command is required at T2 after the SRE command is issued prior to the
inputs becoming “Don’t Care.”
5. NOP or DES commands are required prior to exiting self refresh mode until state Te0.
6. tXS is required before any commands not requiring a locked DLL.
7. tXSDLL is required before any commands requiring a locked DLL.
8. The device must be in the all banks idle state prior to entering self refresh mode. For
example, all banks must be precharged, tRP must be met, and no data bursts can be in
progress.
9. Self refresh exit is asynchronous; however, tXS and tXSDLL timings start at the first rising
clock edge where CKE HIGH satisfies tISXR at Tc1. tCKSRX timing is also measured so that
tISXR is satisfied at Tc1.
Extended Temperature Usage
Micron’s DDR3 SDRAM support the optional extended case temperature (TC) range of
0°C to 125°C. Thus, the SRT and ASR options must be used at a minimum for tempera-
tures above 85°C (and does not exceed 105°C).
The extended temperature range DRAM must be refreshed externally at 2x (double re-
fresh) anytime the case temperature is above 85°C (and does not exceed 105°C) and 8x

anytime the case temperature is above 105°C (and does not exceed 125°C). The external
refresh requirement is accomplished by reducing the refresh period from 64ms to 32ms
or 8ms respectively. However, self refresh mode requires either ASR or SRT to support
the extended temperatures between 85°C and 105°C and is not supported for tempera-
tures above 105°C.

Power-Down Mode
Power-down is synchronously entered when CKE is registered LOW coincident with a
NOP or DES command. CKE is not allowed to go LOW while an MRS, MPR, ZQCAL,
READ, or WRITE operation is in progress. CKE is allowed to go LOW while any of the
other legal operations (such as ROW ACTIVATION, PRECHARGE, auto precharge, or RE-
FRESH) are in progress. However, the power-down IDD specifications are not applicable
until such operations have completed. Depending on the previous DRAM state and the
command issued prior to CKE going LOW, certain timing constraints must be satisfied
(as noted in Table 78). Timing diagrams detailing the different power-down mode entry
and exits are shown in Figure 94 (page 171) through Figure 103 (page 175).

Note: 1. If slow-exit mode precharge power-down is enabled and entered, ODT becomes asyn-
chronous tANPD prior to CKE going LOW and remains asynchronous until tANPD +
tXPDLL after CKE goes HIGH.
Entering power-down disables the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK#, ODT,
CKE, and RESET#. NOP or DES commands are required until tCPDED has been satis-
fied, at which time all specified input/output buffers are disabled. The DLL should be in
a locked state when power-down is entered for the fastest power-down exit timing. If
the DLL is not locked during power-down entry, the DLL must be reset after exiting
power-down mode for proper READ operation as well as synchronous ODT operation.
During power-down entry, if any bank remains open after all in-progress commands are
complete, the DRAM will be in active power-down mode. If all banks are closed after all
in-progress commands are complete, the DRAM will be in precharge power-down
mode. Precharge power-down mode must be programmed to exit with either a slow exit
mode or a fast exit mode. When entering precharge power-down mode, the DLL is
turned off in slow exit mode or kept on in fast exit mode.
The DLL also remains on when entering active power-down. ODT has special timing
constraints when slow exit mode precharge power-down is enabled and entered. Refer
to Asynchronous ODT Mode (page 192) for detailed ODT usage requirements in slow

exit mode precharge power-down. A summary of the two power-down modes is listed in
Table 79 (page 170).
While in either power-down state, CKE is held LOW, RESET# is held HIGH, and a stable
clock signal must be maintained. ODT must be in a valid state but all other input signals
are “Don’t Care.” If RESET# goes LOW during power-down, the DRAM will switch out of
power-down mode and go into the reset state. After CKE is registered LOW, CKE must
remain LOW until tPD (MIN) has been satisfied. The maximum time allowed for power-
down duration is tPD (MAX) (9 × tREFI).
The power-down states are synchronously exited when CKE is registered HIGH (with a
required NOP or DES command). CKE must be maintained HIGH until tCKE has been
satisfied. A valid, executable command may be applied after power-down exit latency,
tXP, and tXPDLL have been satisfied. A summary of the power-down modes is listed be-
low.
For specific CKE-intensive operations, such as repeating a power-down-exit-to-refresh-
to-power-down-entry sequence, the number of clock cycles between power-down exit
and power-down entry may not be sufficient to keep the DLL properly updated. In addi-
tion to meeting tPD when the REFRESH command is used between power-down exit
and power-down entry, two other conditions must be met. First, tXP must be satisfied
before issuing the REFRESH command. Second, tXPDLL must be satisfied before the
next power-down may be entered. An example is shown in Figure 104 (page 176).

RESET Operation
The RESET signal (RESET#) is an asynchronous reset signal that triggers any time it
drops LOW, and there are no restrictions about when it can go LOW. After RESET# goes
LOW, it must remain LOW for 100ns. During this time, the outputs are disabled, ODT
(RTT) turns off (High-Z), and the DRAM resets itself. CKE should be driven LOW prior to
RESET# being driven HIGH. After RESET# goes HIGH, the DRAM must be re-initialized
as though a normal power-up was executed. All counters, except refresh counters, on
the DRAM are reset, and data stored in the DRAM is assumed unknown after RESET#
has gone LOW.

On-Die Termination (ODT)
On-die termination (ODT) is a feature that enables the DRAM to enable/disable and
turn on/off termination resistance for each DQ, DQS, DQS#, and DM for the x4 and x8
configurations (and TDQS, TDQS# for the x8 configuration, when enabled). ODT is ap-
plied to each DQ, UDQS, UDQS#, LDQS, LDQS#, UDM, and LDM signal for the x16 con-
figuration.
ODT is designed to improve signal integrity of the memory channel by enabling the
DRAM controller to independently turn on/off the DRAM’s internal termination resist-
ance for any grouping of DRAM devices. ODT is not supported during DLL disable
mode (simple functional representation shown below). The switch is enabled by the in-
ternal ODT control logic, which uses the external ODT ball and other control informa-
tion.

Functional Representation of ODT
The value of RTT (ODT termination resistance value) is determined by the settings of
several mode register bits (see Table 85 (page 183)). The ODT ball is ignored while in
self refresh mode (must be turned off prior to self refresh entry) or if mode registers
MR1 and MR2 are programmed to disable ODT. ODT is comprised of nominal ODT and
dynamic ODT modes and either of these can function in synchronous or asynchronous
mode (when the DLL is off during precharge power-down or when the DLL is synchro-
nizing). Nominal ODT is the base termination and is used in any allowable ODT state.
Dynamic ODT is applied only during writes and provides OTF switching from no RTT or
RTT,nom to RTT(WR).
The actual effective termination, RTT(EFF), may be different from RTT targeted due to
nonlinearity of the termination. For RTT(EFF) values and calculations, see Table 31 (page
53).
Nominal ODT
ODT (NOM) is the base termination resistance for each applicable ball; it is enabled or
disabled via MR1[9, 6, 2] (see Mode Register 1 (MR1) Definition), and it is turned on or
off via the ODT ball.

2. ODT is enabled and active during most writes for proper termination, but it is not illegal
for it to be off during writes.
3. ODT must be disabled during reads. The RTT,nom value is restricted during writes. Dynam-
ic ODT is applicable if enabled.
Nominal ODT resistance RTT,nom is defined by MR1[9, 6, 2], as shown in Mode Register 1
(MR1) Definition. The RTT,nom termination value applies to the output pins previously
mentioned. DDR3 SDRAM supports multiple RTT,nom values based on RZQ/n where n
can be 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 and RZQ is 240Ω. RTT,nom termination is allowed any time after the
DRAM is initialized, calibrated, and not performing read access, or when it is not in self
refresh mode.
Write accesses use RTT,nom if dynamic ODT (RTT(WR)) is disabled. If RTT,nom is used dur-
ing writes, only RZQ/2, RZQ/4, and RZQ/6 are allowed (see Table 84 (page 182)). ODT
timings are summarized in Table 81 (page 180), as well as listed in the Electrical Char-
acteristics and AC Operating Conditions table.
Examples of nominal ODT timing are shown in conjunction with the synchronous
mode of operation in Synchronous ODT Mode (page 187).

Dynamic ODT
In certain application cases, and to further enhance signal integrity on the data bus, it is
desirable that the termination strength of the DDR3 SDRAM can be changed without
issuing an MRS command, essentially changing the ODT termination on the fly. With
dynamic ODT RTT(WR)) enabled, the DRAM switches from nominal ODT RTT,nom) to dy-
namic ODT RTT(WR)) when beginning a WRITE burst and subsequently switches back to
nominal ODT RTT,nom) at the completion of the WRITE burst. This requirement is sup-
ported by the dynamic ODT feature, as described below.
Dynamic ODT Special Use Case
When DDR3 devices are architect as a single rank memory array, dynamic ODT offers a
special use case: the ODT ball can be wired high (via a current limiting resistor prefer-
red) by having RTT,nom disabled via MR1 and RTT(WR) enabled via MR2. This will allow
the ODT signal not to have to be routed yet the DRAM can provide ODT coverage dur-
ing write accesses.
When enabling this special use case, some standard ODT spec conditions may be viola-
ted: ODT is sometimes suppose to be held low. Such ODT spec violation (ODT not
LOW) is allowed under this special use case. Most notably, if Write Leveling is used, this
would appear to be a problem since RTT(WR) can not be used (should be disabled) and
RTT(NOM) should be used. For Write leveling during this special use case, with the DLL
locked, then RTT(NOM) maybe enabled when entering Write Leveling mode and disabled
when exiting Write Leveling mode. More so, RTT(NOM) must be enabled when enabling
Write Leveling, via same MR1 load, and disabled when disabling Write Leveling, via
same MR1 load if RTT(NOM) is to be used.
ODT will turn-on within a delay of ODTLon + tAON + tMOD + 1CK (enabling via MR1)
or turn-off within a delay of ODTLoff + tAOF + tMOD + 1CK. As seen in the table below,
between the Load Mode of MR1 and the previously specified delay, the value of ODT is
uncertain. this means the DQ ODT termination could turn-on and then turn-off again
during the period of stated uncertainty.

Functional Description
The dynamic ODT mode is enabled if either MR2[9] or MR2[10] is set to 1. Dynamic
ODT is not supported during DLL disable mode so RTT(WR) must be disabled. The dy-
namic ODT function is described below:
• Two RTT values are available—RTT,nom and RTT(WR).
– The value for RTT,nom is preselected via MR1[9, 6, 2].
– The value for RTT(WR) is preselected via MR2[10, 9].

• During DRAM operation without READ or WRITE commands, the termination is con-
trolled.
– Nominal termination strength RTT,nom is used.
– Termination on/off timing is controlled via the ODT ball and latencies ODTLon and
ODTLoff.
• When a WRITE command (WR, WRAP, WRS4, WRS8, WRAPS4, WRAPS8) is registered,
and if dynamic ODT is enabled, the ODT termination is controlled.
– A latency of ODTLcnw after the WRITE command: termination strength RTT,nom
switches to RTT(WR)
– A latency of ODTLcwn8 (for BL8, fixed or OTF) or ODTLcwn4 (for BC4, fixed or OTF)
after the WRITE command: termination strength RTT(WR) switches back to RTT,nom.
– On/off termination timing is controlled via the ODT ball and determined by ODT-
Lon, ODTLoff, ODTH4, and ODTH8.
– During the tADC transition window, the value of RTT is undefined.
ODT is constrained during writes and when dynamic ODT is enabled (see the table be-
low, Dynamic ODT Specific Parameters). ODT timings listed in the ODT Parameters ta-
ble in On-Die Termination (ODT) also apply to dynamic ODT mode.

Synchronous ODT Mode
Synchronous ODT mode is selected whenever the DLL is turned on and locked and
when either RTT,nom or RTT(WR) is enabled. Based on the power-down definition, these
modes are:
• Any bank active with CKE HIGH
• Refresh mode with CKE HIGH
• Idle mode with CKE HIGH
• Active power-down mode (regardless of MR0[12])
• Precharge power-down mode if DLL is enabled by MR0[12] during precharge power-
down
ODT Latency and Posted ODT
In synchronous ODT mode, RTT turns on ODTLon clock cycles after ODT is sampled
HIGH by a rising clock edge and turns off ODTLoff clock cycles after ODT is registered
LOW by a rising clock edge. The actual on/off times varies by tAON and tAOF around
each clock edge (see Table 87 (page 188)). The ODT latency is tied to the WRITE latency
(WL) by ODTLon = WL - 2 and ODTLoff = WL - 2.
Since write latency is made up of CAS WRITE latency (CWL) and additive latency (AL),
the AL programmed into the mode register (MR1[4, 3]) also applies to the ODT signal.
The device’s internal ODT signal is delayed a number of clock cycles defined by the AL
relative to the external ODT signal. Thus, ODTLon = CWL + AL - 2 and ODTLoff = CWL +
AL - 2.
Timing Parameters
Synchronous ODT mode uses the following timing parameters: ODTLon, ODTLoff,
ODTH4, ODTH8, tAON, and tAOF. The minimum RTT turn-on time (tAON [MIN]) is the
point at which the device leaves High-Z and ODT resistance begins to turn on. Maxi-
mum RTT turn-on time (tAON [MAX]) is the point at which ODT resistance is fully on.
Both are measured relative to ODTLon. The minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOF [MIN]) is
the point at which the device starts to turn off ODT resistance. The maximum RTT turn
off time (tAOF [MAX]) is the point at which ODT has reached High-Z. Both are measured
from ODTLoff.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain HIGH until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a WRITE com-
mand is registered by the DRAM with ODT HIGH, then ODT must remain HIGH until
ODTH4 (BC4) or ODTH8 (BL8) after the WRITE command (see Figure 113 (page 189)).
ODTH4 and ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered HIGH to ODT registered LOW
or from the registration of a WRITE command until ODT is registered LOW.

ODT Off During READs
Because the device cannot terminate and drive at the same time, RTT must be disabled
at least one-half clock cycle before the READ preamble by driving the ODT ball LOW (if
either RTT,nom or RTT(WR) is enabled). RTT may not be enabled until the end of the post-
amble, as shown in the following example.
Note: ODT may be disabled earlier and enabled later than shown in Figure 114

Asynchronous ODT Mode
Asynchronous ODT mode is available when the DRAM runs in DLL on mode and when
either RTT,nom or RTT(WR) is enabled; however, the DLL is temporarily turned off in pre-
charged power-down standby (via MR0[12]). Additionally, ODT operates asynchronous-
ly when the DLL is synchronizing after being reset. See Power-Down Mode (page 169)
for definition and guidance over power-down details.
In asynchronous ODT timing mode, the internal ODT command is not delayed by AL
relative to the external ODT command. In asynchronous ODT mode, ODT controls RTT
by analog time. The timing parameters tAONPD and tAOFPD replace ODTLon/tAON
and ODTLoff/tAOF, respectively, when ODT operates asynchronously.
The minimum RTT turn-on time (tAONPD [MIN]) is the point at which the device termi-
nation circuit leaves High-Z and ODT resistance begins to turn on. Maximum RTT turn-
on time (tAONPD [MAX]) is the point at which ODT resistance is fully on. tAONPD
(MIN) and tAONPD (MAX) are measured from ODT being sampled HIGH.
The minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOFPD [MIN]) is the point at which the device termi-
nation circuit starts to turn off ODT resistance. Maximum RTT turn-off time (tAOFPD
[MAX]) is the point at which ODT has reached High-Z. tAOFPD (MIN) and tAOFPD
(MAX) are measured from ODT being sampled LOW.

Synchronous to Asynchronous ODT Mode Transition (Power-Down Entry)
There is a transition period around power-down entry (PDE) where the DRAM’s ODT
may exhibit either synchronous or asynchronous behavior. This transition period oc-
curs if the DLL is selected to be off when in precharge power-down mode by the setting
MR0[12] = 0. Power-down entry begins tANPD prior to CKE first being registered LOW,
and ends when CKE is first registered LOW. tANPD is equal to the greater of ODTLoff +
1tCK or ODTLon + 1tCK. If a REFRESH command has been issued, and it is in progress
when CKE goes LOW, power-down entry ends tRFC after the REFRESH command, rath-
er than when CKE is first registered LOW. Power-down entry then becomes the greater
of tANPD and tRFC - REFRESH command to CKE registered LOW.
ODT assertion during power-down entry results in an RTT change as early as the lesser
of tAONPD (MIN) and ODTLon × tCK + tAON (MIN), or as late as the greater of tAONPD
(MAX) and ODTLon × tCK + tAON (MAX). ODT de-assertion during power-down entry
can result in an RTT change as early as the lesser of tAOFPD (MIN) and ODTLoff × tCK +
tAOF (MIN), or as late as the greater of tAOFPD (MAX) and ODTLoff × tCK + tAOF (MAX).
Table 89 (page 195) summarizes these parameters.
If AL has a large value, the uncertainty of the state of RTT becomes quite large. This is
because ODTLon and ODTLoff are derived from the WL; and WL is equal to CWL + AL.
Figure 116 (page 195) shows three different cases:
• ODT_A: Synchronous behavior before tANPD.
• ODT_B: ODT state changes during the transition period with tAONPD (MIN) <
ODTLon × tCK + tAON (MIN) and tAONPD (MAX) > ODTLon × tCK + tAON (MAX).
• ODT_C: ODT state changes after the transition period with asynchronous behavior.

Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode Transition (Power-Down Exit)
The DRAM’s ODT can exhibit either asynchronous or synchronous behavior during
power-down exit (PDX). This transition period occurs if the DLL is selected to be off
when in precharge power-down mode by setting MR0[12] to 0. Power-down exit begins
tANPD prior to CKE first being registered HIGH, and ends tXPDLL after CKE is first reg-
istered HIGH. tANPD is equal to the greater of ODTLoff + 1tCK or ODTLon + 1tCK. The
transition period is tANPD + tXPDLL.
ODT assertion during power-down exit results in an RTT change as early as the lesser of
tAONPD (MIN) and ODTLon × tCK + tAON (MIN), or as late as the greater of tAONPD
(MAX) and ODTLon × tCK + tAON (MAX). ODT de-assertion during power-down exit
may result in an RTT change as early as the lesser of tAOFPD (MIN) and ODTLoff × tCK +
tAOF (MIN), or as late as the greater of tAOFPD (MAX) and ODTLoff × tCK + tAOF (MAX).
Table 89 (page 195) summarizes these parameters.
If AL has a large value, the uncertainty of the RTT state becomes quite large. This is be-
cause ODTLon and ODTLoff are derived from WL, and WL is equal to CWL + AL. Figure
117 (page 197) shows three different cases:
• ODT C: Asynchronous behavior before tANPD.
• ODT B: ODT state changes during the transition period, with tAOFPD (MIN) < ODTL-
off × tCK + tAOF (MIN), and ODTLoff × tCK + tAOF (MAX) > tAOFPD (MAX).
• ODT A: ODT state changes after the transition period with synchronous response.

Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode Transition (Short CKE Pulse)
If the time in the precharge power-down or idle states is very short (short CKE LOW
pulse), the power-down entry and power-down exit transition periods overlap. When
overlap occurs, the response of the DRAM’s RTT to a change in the ODT state can be
synchronous or asynchronous from the start of the power-down entry transition period
to the end of the power-down exit transition period, even if the entry period ends later
than the exit period.
If the time in the idle state is very short (short CKE HIGH pulse), the power-down exit
and power-down entry transition periods overlap. When this overlap occurs, the re-
sponse of the DRAM’s RTT to a change in the ODT state may be synchronous or asyn-
chronous from the start of power-down exit transition period to the end of the power-
down entry transition period.
