Burst Length and Sequence:
Refresh Mode
SDRAM has two refresh modes, Auto Refresh
and Self Refresh. Auto Refresh is similar to the CAS
-before-RAS refresh of conventional DRAMs. All of
banks must be precharged before ap plying any refresh mode. An on-chip address counter increments
the word and the bank addresses and no bank information is required for both refresh modes.
The chip enters the Auto Refresh mode, when
RAS
and CAS are held low and CKE and WE are
held high at a clock timing. The mode restores word
line after the refresh and no external precharge
command is necessary. A m inimum tRC t ime is required between two automatic refreshes in a burst
refresh mode. The same rule applies to any access
command after the automatic refresh operation.
The chip has an on-chip timer and the Self Refresh mode is available. It enters the mode when
RAS
, CAS, and CKE are low and WE is high at a
clock timing. All of external control signals including
the clock are disabled. Returning CKE to hi gh enables the clock and initiates the refr esh exit operation. After the exit command, at least one t
RC
delay
is required prior to any access command.
DQM Function
DQM has two functions for data I/O read and
write operations. During reads, when it turns to
“high” at a clo ck timing, data outputs are disabled
and become high impedanc e after two clock delay
(DQM Data Disable Latency t
DQZ
). It also provides
a data mask function for writes. When DQM is activated, the write operation at the next clock is prohibited (DQM Write Mask Latency t
DQW
= zero clocks).
Power Do wn
In order to reduce standby power consumption, a
power down mode is available. All banks m ust be
precharged and the necessary Precharge delay
(trp) must occur bef ore the SDRAM can en ter the
Power Down mode. Once the Power Down mode is
initiated by holding CKE low, all of the receiver circuits except CLK and CKE are gated off. The Power
Down mode does not perform any refresh operations, therefore the device can’t remain in Power
Down mode longer than the Refresh period (tref) of
the device. Exit from this mode is performed by taking CKE “high”. One clock delay is required for
mode entry and exit.
Auto Pr ech arge
Two methods are available to precharge
SDRAMs. In an automatic precharge mode, the
CAS timing accepts one extra address, CA10, to
determine whether the chip restores or not after the
operation. If CA10 is high whe n a Read Com mand
is issued, the Read with Auto-Pre charge function
is initiated. The SDRAM automatically enters the
precharge operation one clock bef ore the last data
out for CAS
latencies 2, two clocks for CAS latencies 3 and three clocks for CAS latencies 4. If CA10
is high when a Write Command is issued, the Write
