GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 64Mb SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic random-access memory containing 67,108,864 bits. It is internally
configured as a quad-bank DRAM with a synchronous interface (all signals are registered on the positive edge of the clock
signal, CLK). Each of the x16’s 6,777,216-bit banks is or ganized
as 4,096 rows by 256 columns by 16 bits.
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst oriented;
accesses start at a selected location and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE command,
which is then followed by a READ or WRITE command. The
address bits registered coincident with the ACTIVE command
are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0, BA1
select the bank; A0-A11 select the row). The address bits
registered coincident with the READ or WRITE command are
used to select the starting column location for the burst access.
The SDRAM provides for programmable READ or WRITE
burst lengths of 1, 2, 4 or 8 locations, or the full page, with a
burst terminate option. An AUTO PRECHARGE function may
be enabled to provide a self-timed row precharge that is initi-
SDRAM
AS4SD4M16
ated at the end of the burst sequence.
The 64Mb SDRAM uses an internal pipelined architecture
to achieve high-speed operation. This architecture is compatible with the 2n rule of prefetch architectures, but it also allows
the column address to be changed on every clock cycle to
achieve a high-speed, fully random access. Precharging one
bank while accessing one of the other three banks will hide the
precharge cycles and provide seamless, high-speed, randomaccess operation.
The 64Mb SDRAM is designed to operate in 3.3V, lowpower memory systems. An auto refresh mode is provided,
along with a power-saving, power-down mode. All inputs and
outputs are LVTTL-compatible.
SDRAMs offer substantial advances in DRAM operating
performance, including the ability to synchronously burst data
at a high data rate with automatic column-address generation,
the ability to interleave between internal banks in order to hide
precharge time and the capability to randomly change column
addresses on each clock cycle during a burst access.

DESCRIPTION
Clock: CLK is driven by the system clock. All SDRAM input signals are
sampled on the positive edge of CLK. CLK also increments the internal burst
counter and controls the output registers.
Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CLK signal.
Deactivating the clock provides PRECHARGE POWER-DOWN and SELF
REFRESH operations (all banks idle), ACTIVE POWER-DOWN (row ACTIVE
in either bank) or CLOCK SUSPEND operation (burst/access in progress).
CKE is synchronous except after the device enters power-down and self
refresh modes, where CKE becomes asynchronous until after exiting the
same mode. The input buffers, including CLK, are disabled during power-down
and self refresh modes, providing low standby power. CKE may be tied
HIGH.
Chip Select: CS\ enables (registered LOW) and disables (registered HIGH)
the command decoder. All commands are masked when CS\ is registered
HIGH. CS\ provides for external bank selection on systems with multiple
banks. CS\ is considered part of the command code.
Command Inputs: RAS\, CAS\, and WE\ (along with CS\) define the
command being entered.
Input/Output Mask: DQM is an input mask signal for write accesses and an
output enable signal for read accesses. Input data is masked when DQM is
sampled HIGH during a WRITE cycle. The output buffers are placed in a
High-Z state (two-clock latency) when DQM is sampled HIGH during a READ
cycle. DQML corresponds to DQ0-DQ7; DQMH corresponds to DQ8-DQ15.
DQML and DQMH are considered same state when referenced as DQM.
Bank Address Inputs: BA0 and BA1 define to which bank the ACTIVE, READ,
WRITE or PRECHARGE command is being applied.
Address Inputs: A0-A11 are sampled during the ACTIVE command (row
address A0-A11) and READ/WRITE command (column address A0-A7, with
A10 defining AUTO PRECHARGE) to select one location out of the memory
array in the respective bank. A10 is sampled during a PRECHARGE
command to determine if all banks are to be precharged (A10 HIGH) or bank
selected by BA0,BA1 (LOW). The address inputs also provide the op-code
during a LOAD MODE REGISTER command.
Data I/O: Data bus.
No Connect: These pins should be left unconnected.
DQ Power: Provide isolated power to DQs for improved noise immunity.
DQ Ground: Provide isolated ground to DQs for improved noise immunity.
Power Supply: +3.3V ±0.3V.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
In general, the 64Mb SDRAM is quad-bank DRAM (1
Meg x 16 x 4 banks) which operate at 3.3V and include a
synchronous interface (all signals are registered on the
positive edge of the clock signal, CLK). Each of the x16’s
16,777,216-bit banks is organized as 4,096 rows by 256 columns
by 16 bits.
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst
oriented; accesses start at a selected location and continue for
a programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence.
Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE command
which is then followed by a READ or WRITE command. The
address bits registered coincident with the ACTIVE command
are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0 and
BA1 select the bank, A0-A11 select the row). The address bits
( x16: A0-A7) registered coincident with the READ or WRITE
command are used to select the starting column location for the
burst access.
Prior to normal operation, the SDRAM must be initialized. The following sections provide detailed information
covering device initialization, register definition, command
descriptions and device operation.
Initalization
SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a
predefined manner. Operational procedures other than those
specified may result in undefined operation. Once power is
applied to V
stable, the SDRAM requires a 100µs delay prior to applying an
executable command. Starting at some point during this 100µs
period and continuing at least through the end of this period,

complete, the SDRAM is ready for Mode Register programming. Because the Mode Register will power up in an unknown
state, it should be loaded prior to applying any operational
command.

REGISTER DEFINITION
Mode Register
The Mode Register is used to define the specific mode
of operation of the SDRAM. This definition includes the
selection of a burst length, a burst type, a CAS latency, an
operating mode and a write burst mode, as shown in Figure 1.
The Mode Register is programmed via the LOAD MODE
REGISTER command and will retain the stored information until
it is programmed again or the device loses power.
Mode register bits M0-M2 specify the burst length,
M3 specifies the type of burst (sequential or interleaved), M4M6 specify the CAS latency, M7 and M8 specify the operating
mode, M9 specifies the WRITE burst mode, and M10 and M11
are reserved for future use.
The Mode Register must be loaded when all banks are
idle, and the controller must wait the specified time before
initiating the subsequent operation. Violating either of these
requirements will result in unspecified operation.
Burst Length
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst
oriented, with the burst length being programmable, as shown
in Figure 1. The burst length determines the maximum number
of column locations that can be accessed for a given READ or
WRITE command. Burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, or 8 locations are
available for both the sequential and the interleaved burst types,
and a full-page burst is available for the sequential type. The
full-page burst is used in conjunction with the BURST
TERMINATE command to generate arbitrary burst lengths.
Reserved states should not be used, as unknown
operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.
When a READ or WRITE command is issued, a block
of columns equal to the burst length is effectively 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 A1-A7 (x16) when the burst
length is set to two; A2-A7 (x16) when the burst length is set to
four; and by A3-A7 (x16) when the burst length is set to eight.
The remaining (least significant) address bit(s) is (are) used to
select the starting location within the block. Full-page bursts
wrap within the page if the boundary is reached.

BURST TYPE
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed to
be either sequential or interleaved; this is referred to as the
burst type and is selected via bit M3.
The ordering of accesses within a burst is determined
by the burst length, the burst type and the starting column
address, as shown in Table 1.
1 .For full-page accesses: y = 256 (x16).
2 .For a burst length of two, A1-A7 (x16)
select the block-of-two burst; A0 selects
the starting column within the block.
3 .For a burst length of four, A2-A7 (x16)
select the block-of-four burst; A0-A1
select the starting column within the
block.
4 .For a burst length of eight, A3-A7 (x16)
select the clock-of-eight burst; A0-A2
select the starting column within the
block.
5 .For a full-page burst, the full row is
selected and A0-A7 (x16) select the
starting column.
6.Whenever a boundary of the block is
reached within a given sequence above,
the following access wraps within the
block.
7 .For a burst length of one, A0-A7 (x16)
select the unique column to be accessed,
and Mode Register bit M3 is ignored.

CAS Latency
The CAS latency is the delay, in clock cycles, between
the registration of a READ command and the availability of the
first piece of output data. The latency can be set to two or three
clocks.
If a READ command is registered at clock edge n, and
the latency is m clocks, the data will be available by clock edge
n+m. The DQs will start driving as a result of the clock edge one
cycle earlier (n + m - 1), and provided that the relevant access
times are met, the data will be valid by clock edge n + m. For
example, assuming that the clock cycle time is such that all
relevant access times are met, if a READ command is registered
at T0 and the latency is programmed to two clocks, the DQs will
start driving after T1 and the data will be valid by T2, as shown
in Figure 2. T able 2 below indicates the operating frequencies at
which each CAS latency setting can be used.

Reserved states should not be used as unknown op-

Operating Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by setting
M7and M8 to zero; the other combinations of values for M7
and M8 are reserved for future use and/or test modes. The
programmed burst length applies to both READ and WRITE
bursts.
Test modes and reserved states should not be used
because unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.
Write Burst Mode
When M9 = 0, the burst length programmed via M0M2 applies to both READ and WRITE bursts; when M9 = 1,
the programmed burst length applies to READ bursts, but write
accesses are single-location (nonburst) accesses.

COMMAND INHIBIT
The COMMAND INHIBIT function prevents new
commands from being executed by the SDRAM, regardless of
whether the CLK signal is enabled. The SDRAM is effectively
deselected. Operations already in progress are not affected.
NO OPERA TION (NOP)
The NO OPERA TION (NOP) command is used to perform a NOP to an SDRAM which is selected (CS\ is LOW). This
prevents unwanted commands from being registered during
idle or wait states. Operations already in progress are not affected.
LOAD MODE REGISTER
The Mode Register is loaded via inputs A0-A11. See
Mode Register heading in the Register Definition section. The
LOAD MODE REGISTER command can only be issued when
all banks are idle, and a subsequent executable command cannot be issued until tMRD is met.
ACTIVE
The ACTIVE command is used to open (or activate) a
row in a particular bank for a subsequent access. The value on
the BA0, BA1 inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A0-A11 selects the row. This row remains active (or open) for accesses until a PRECHARGE command is
issued to that bank. A PRECHARGE command must be issued
before opening a different row in the same bank.
WRITE
The WRITE command is used to initiate a burst write
access to an active row. The value on the BA0, BA1 inputs
selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A0-A7
(x16) selects the starting column location. The value on input
A10 determines whether or not AUTO PRECHARGE is used. If
AUTO PRECHARGE is selected, the row being accessed will
be precharged at the end of the WRITE burst; if AUTO
PRECHARGE is not selected, the row will remain open for subsequent accesses. Input data appearing on the DQs is written
to the memory array subject to the DQM input logic level appearing coincident with the data. If a given DQM signal is
registered LOW, the corresponding data will be written to
memory; if the DQM signal is registered HIGH, the corresponding data inputs will be ignored, and a WRITE will not be executed to that byte/column location.
PRECHARGE
The PRECHARGE command is used to deactivate the
open row in a particular bank or the open row in all banks. The
bank(s) will be available for a subsequent row access a speci-
fied time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE command is issued. Input
A10 determines whether one or all banks are to be precharged,
and in the case where only one bank is to be precharged, inputs
BA0, BA1 select the bank. Otherwise BA0, BA1 are treated as
“Don’t Care.” Once a bank has been precharged, it is in the idle
state and must be activated prior to any READ or WRITE commands being issued to that bank.
READ
The READ command is used to initiate a burst read
access to an active row. The value on the BA0, BA1 inputs
selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A0-A7
(x16) selects the starting column location. The value on input
A10 determines whether or not AUTO PRECHARGE is used. If
AUTO PRECHARGE is selected, the row being accessed will
be precharged at the end of the READ burst; if AUTO
PRECHARGE is not selected, the row will remain open for subsequent accesses. Read data appears on the DQs subject to
the logic level on the DQM inputs two clocks earlier. If a given
DQM signal was registered HIGH, the corresponding DQs will
be High-Z two clocks later; if the DQM signal was registered
LOW , the DQs will provide valid data.
AS4SD4M16
Rev. 1.5 10/01
AUT O PRECHARGE
AUTO PRECHARGE is a feature which performs the
same individual-bank PRECHARGE function described above,
without requiring an explicit command. This is accomplished
by using A10 to enable AUTO PRECHARGE in conjunction
with a specific READ or WRITE command. A precharge of the
bank/row that is addressed with the READ or WRITE command is automatically performed upon completion of the READ
or WRITE burst, except in the full-page burst mode, where
AUTO PRECHARGE does not apply . AUTO PRECHARGE is
nonpersistent in that it is either enabled or disabled for each
individual READ or WRITE command.
AUTO PRECHARGE ensures that the precharge is
initiated at the earliest valid stage within a burst. The user must
not issue another command to the same bank until the precharge
time (tRP) is completed. This is determined as if an explicit
PRECHARGE command was issued at the earliest possible time,
as described for each burst type in the Operation section of this
data sheet.

BURST TERMINATE
The BURST TERMINA TE command is used to truncate either fixed-length or full-page bursts. The most recently
registered READ or WRITE command prior to the BURST TERMINATE command will be truncated, as shown in the Operation section of this data sheet.
AUT O REFRESH
AUTO REFRESH is used during normal operation of
the SDRAM and is analagous to CAS\-BEFORE-RAS\ (CBR)
REFRESH in conventional DRAMs. This command is nonpersistent, 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 “Don’ t Care” during an
AUTO REFRESH command. The 64Mb SDRAM requires 4,096
AUTO REFRESH cycles every 64ms *(t
option. Providing a distributed AUTO REFRESH command
every 15.625µs/3.906µs will meet the refresh requirement and
ensure that each row is refreshed. Alternatively, 4,096 AUTO
REFRESH commands can be issued in a burst at the minimum
cycle rate (tRC), once every 64ms/ 16ms.

AS4SD4M16
SELF REFRESH
(Industrial -40°C to +85°C Only)
The SELF REFRESH command can be used to retain
data in the SDRAM, even if the rest of the system is powered
down. When in the self refresh mode, the SDRAM retains data
without external clocking. The SELF REFRESH command is
initiated like an AUTO REFRESH command except CKE is
disabled (LOW).
Once the SELF REFRESH command is registered, all
the inputs to the SDRAM become “Don’t Care,” with the
exception of CKE, which must remain LOW .
Once self refresh mode is engaged, the SDRAM
provides its own internal clocking, causing it to perform its own
AUTO REFRESH cycles. The SDRAM must remain in self
refresh mode for a minimum period equal to t
remain in self refresh mode for an indefinite period beyond that.
The procedure for exiting self refresh requires a
sequence of commands. First, CLK must be stable prior to CKE
going back HIGH. Once CKE is HIGH, the SDRAM must have
NOP commands issued (a minimum of two clocks) for t
because time is required for the completion of any internal
refresh in progress.
If during normal operation AUTO REFRESH cycles
are issued in bursts (as opposed to being evenly distributed),
a burst of 4,096 AUTO REFRESH cycles should be completed
just prior to entering and just after exiting the self refresh mode.
The self refresh option is not available for the -55° to

OPERATION
BANK/ROW ACTIVATION
Before any READ or WRITE commands can be issued
to a bank within the SDRAM, a row in that bank must be
“opened.” This is accomplished via the ACTIVE command,
which selects both the bank and the row to be activated.

which a READ or WRITE command can be entered. For
t
example, a
specification of 30ns with a 90 MHz clock

(11.11ns period) results in 2.7 clocks, rounded to 3. This is
reflected in Figure 4, which covers any case where 2 <
(MIN)/ tCK ≤ 3. (The same procedure is used to convert other
specification limits from time units to clock cycles).
A subsequent ACTIVE command to a different row in
the same bank can only be issued after the previous active row
has been “closed” (precharged). The minimum time interval
between successive ACTIVE commands to the same bank is

READs
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command, as shown in
Figure 5.
The starting column and bank addresses are provided
with the READ command, and AUTO PRECHARGE is either
enabled or disabled for that burst access. If AUTO PRECHARGE
is enabled, the row being accessed is precharged at the completion of the burst. For the generic READ commands used in the
following illustrations, AUTO PRECHARGE is disabled.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element from
the starting column address will be available following the CAS
latency after the READ command. Each subsequent data-out
element will be valid by the next positive clock edge. Figure 6
shows general timing for each possible CAS latency setting.
CLK
Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other
commands have been initiated, the DQs will go High-Z. A
full-page burst will continue until terminated. (At the end of the
page, it will wrap to column 0 and continue.)
Data from any READ burst may be truncated with a
subsequent READ command, and data from a fixed-length READ
burst may be immediately followed by data from a READ
command. In either case, a continuous flow of data can be
maintained. The first data element from the new burst follows
either the last element of a completed burst or the last desired
data element of alonger burst which is being truncated. The
new READ command should be issued x cycles before the clock
edge at which the last desired data element is valid, where x
equals the CAS latency minus one.

This is shown in Figure 7 for CAS latencies of two and three;
data element n + 3 is either the last of a burst of four or the last
desired of a longer burst. The 64Mb SDRAM uses a pipelined

associated with a prefetch architecture. A READ command can

Data from any READ burst may be truncated with a
subsequent WRITE command, and data from a fixed-length
READ burst may be immediately followed by data from a WRITE
command (subject to bus turnaround limitations). The WRITE
burst may be initiated on the clock edge immediately following
the last (or last desired) data element from the READ burst,
provided that I/O contention can be avoided. In a given
system design, there may be a possibility that the device
driving the input data will go Low-Z before the SDRAM DQs
go High-Z. In this case, at least a single-cycle delay should
occur between the last read data and the WRITE command.
The DQM input is used to avoid I/O contention, as shown in
Figures 9 and 10. The DQM signal must be asserted (HIGH) at
least two clocks prior to the WRITE command (DQM latency is
two clocks for output buffers) to suppress data-out from the
READ. Once the WRITE command is registered, the DQs will
go High-Z (or remain High-Z), regardless of the state of the
DQM signal. The DQM signal must be de-asserted prior to the
WRITE command (DQM latency is zero clocks for input
buffers) to ensure that the written data is not masked. Figure 9
shows the case where the clock frequency allows for bus
contention to be avoided without adding a NOP cycle, and
Figure 10 shows the case where the additional NOP is needed.

WRITEs
WRITE bursts are initiated with a WRITE command,
as shown in Figure 13.
The starting column and bank addresses are provided
with the WRITE command, and AUTO PRECHARGE is either
enabled or disabled for that access. If AUTO PRECHARGE is
enabled, the row being accessed is precharged at the completion of the burst. For the generic WRITE commands used in the
following illustrations, AUTO PRECHARGE is disabled.
During WRITE bursts, the first valid data-in element
will be registered coincident with the WRITE command. Subsequent data elements will be registered on each successive positive clock edge. Upon completion of a fixed-length burst, assuming no other commands have been initiated, the DQs will
remain High-Z and any additional input data will be ignored
(see Figure 14). A full-page burst will continue until terminated.
(At the end of the page, it will wrap to column 0 and continue.)
Data for any WRITE burst may be truncated with a
subsequent WRITE command, and data for a fixed-length
WRITE burst may be immediately followed by data for a WRITE
command. The new WRITE command can be issued on any
clock following the previous WRITE command, and the data
provided coincident with the new command applies to the new
command. An example is shown in Figure 15. Data n + 1 is either
the last of a burst of two or the last desired of a longer burst.
The 64Mb SDRAM uses a pipelined architecture and therefore
does not require the 2n rule associated with a prefetch architecture. A WRITE command can be initiated on any clock cycle
following a previous WRITE command. Full-speed random write
accesses within a page can be performed to the same bank, as
shown in Figure 16, or each subsequent WRITE may be performed to a different bank.

Data for any WRITE burst may be truncated with a
subsequent READ command, and data for a fixed-length WRITE
burst may be immediately followed by a subsequent READ
command. Once the READ command is registered, the data
inputs will be ignored, and WRITEs will not be executed. An
example is shown in Figure 17. Data n+1 is either the last of a
burst of two or the last desired of a longer burst.
Data for a fixed-length WRITE burst may be followed
by, or truncated with, a PRECHARGE command to the same
bank (provided that AUTO PRECHARGE was not activated),
and a full-page WRITE burst may be truncated with a
PRECHARGE command to the same bank. The PRECHARGE
command should be issued tWR after the clock edge at which
the last desired input data element is registered. The Auto
Precharge mode requires a t

TERMINATING A WRITE BURST
PRECHARGE
The PRECHARGE command is used to deactivate the
open row in a particular bank or the open row in all banks. The
bank(s) will be available for a subsequent row access some
specified time (t
) after the PRECHARGE command is issued.
RP
Input A10 determines whether one or all banks are to be
precharged, and in the case where only one bank is to be
precharged, inputs BA0, BA1 select the bank. When all banks
are to be precharged, inputs BA0, BA1 are treated as “Don’t
Care.” Once a bank has been precharged, it is in the idle state
and must be activated prior to any READ or WRITE commands
being issued to that bank.
POWER-DOWN
Power-down occurs if CKE is registered LOW
coincident with a NOP or COMMAND INHIBIT when no
accesses are in progress. If power-down occurs when all banks
are idle, this mode is referred to as precharge power-down; if
power-down occurs when there is a row active in either bank,
this mode is referred to as active power-down. Entering powerdown deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CKE,
for maximum power savings while in standby. The device may
not remain in the power-down state longer than the refresh
period (64ms/16ms) since no refresh operations are performed
in this mode.
The power-down state is exited by registering a NOP
or COMMAND INHIBIT and CKE HIGH at the desired clock
edge (meeting t
CKS
).

CLOCK SUSPEND
The clock suspend mode occurs when a column
access/burst is in progress and CKE is registered LOW. In the
clock suspend mode, the internal clock is deactivated,
“freezing” the synchronous logic.
For each positive clock edge on which CKE is sampled
LOW, the next internal positive clock edge is suspended. Any
command or data present on the input pins at the time of a
suspended internal clock edge is ignored; any data present on
the DQ pins remains driven; and burst counters are not
incremented, as long as the clock is suspended. (See examples
in Figures 22 and 23.)
Clock suspend mode is exited by registering CKE
HIGH; the internal clock and related operation will resume on
the subsequent positive clock edge.

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

An access command (READ or WRITE) to another
bank while an access command with AUTO PRECHARGE enabled is executing is not allowed by SDRAMs, unless the
SDRAM supports CONCURRENT AUTO PRECHARGE. ASI

1 .All voltages referenced to VSS.
2 .This parameter is sampled. VDD, VDDQ = +3.3V ; f = 1
MHz, TA = 25°C; pin under test biased at 1.4V.
3.IDD is dependent on output loading and cycle rates.
Specified values are obtained with minimum cycle time
and the outputs open.
4.Enables on-chip refresh and address counters.
5 .The minimum specifications are used only to indicate
cycle time at which proper operation over the full
temperature range (-55°C ≤ TA ≤ +125°C) is ensured.
6 .An initial pause of 100µs is required after power-up,
followed by two AUTO REFRESH commands, before
proper device operation is ensured. (VDD and VDDQ must
be powered up simultaneously. VSS and VSSQ must be at
same potential.) The two AUTO REFRESH command
wake-ups should be repeated any time the t
requirement is exceeded.
7 .AC characteristics assume t
8 .In addition to meeting the transition rate specification,
the clock and CKE must transit between VIH and VIL (or
between VIL and VIH) in a monotonic manner.
9 .Outputs measured at 1.5V with equivalent load:
10. tHZ defines the time at which the output achieves the
open circuit condition; it is not a reference to VOH or
VOL. The last valid data element will meet tOH before
going High-Z.
11 . AC timing and I
timing referenced to 1.5V crossover point.
tests have VIL = 0V and VIH = 3V , with
CC
= 1ns.

Q
50pF
12. Other input signals are allowed to transition no more
than once in any 30ns period (20ns on -8) and are
otherwise at valid VIH or VIL levels.
13. IDD specifications are tested after the device is properly
initialized.
14. Timing actually specified by t
reference only at minimum cycle rate.
15. Timing actually specified by tWR plus tRP; clock(s)
specified as a reference only at minimum cycle rate.
16 . Timing actually specified by tWR.
17 . Required clocks are specified by JEDEC functionality
and are not dependent on any timing parameter.
18. The ICC current will decrease as the CAS latency is
reduced. This is due to the fact that the maximum cycle
rate is slower as the CAS latency is reduced.
19. Address transitions average one transition every 30ns
(20ns on -8).
20 . CLK must be toggled a minimum of two times during this
period.
21 . Based on tCK = 100 MHz for -8 and 66 MHz for -10.
22. These five parameters vary between speed grades and
define the differences between the -8 SDRAM speeds:
-8.
23. VIH overshoot: VIH (MAX) = VDDQ + 2V for a pulse
width ≤ 10ns, and the pulse width cannot be greater than
one third of the cycle rate. VIL undershoot: VIL (MIN) =
-2V for a pulse width ≤ 10ns, and the pulse width cannot
be greater than one third of the cycle rate.
24. The clock frequency must remain constant during access
or precharge states (READ, WRITE, including tWR, and
PRECHARGE commands). CKE may be used to reduce
the data rate.
25. Auto precharge mode only. The precharge timing budget
( tRP) begins 8ns after the first clock delay , after the last
WRITE is executed.
26 . Precharge mode only.
27 . JEDEC and PC100 specify three clocks.
