Read and Write Operation
When RAS is low and both CAS and WE are high
at the positive edge of the clock, a RAS cycle starts.
According to address data, a word line of the selected bank is act ivated and all of sense amplifiers associated to the wo rdline are set. A CAS
cycle is
triggered by setting RAS
high and CAS low at a
clock timing after a nec es s ary delay, t
RCD
,fromthe
RAS
timing. W E is used to define either a read
(WE
=H)orawrite(WE= L) at this stage.
SDRAM provides a wide variety of fast ac c ess
modes. In a single CAS cycle, serial data read or
write operations are allowed at up to a 200 MHz
data rate. The numbers of serial data bits are the
burst length program medat the mode s et operation,
i.e., one of 1, 2, 4, 8 and full page. Column addres ses are segment ed by the burst length and serial
data accesses are done within this boundary. The
first column address to be ac c es s ed is supplied at
the CAS timing and the subseq uent addresses are
generated automatically by the programmed burst
length and its sequence. For example, in a burst
length of 8 with interleave sequence, if the first address is ‘2’, then the rest of the burst sequence is 3,
0, 1, 6, 7, 4, and 5.
Full page burst operati on is only possible using
the sequential burst type and page le ngth is a func tion of the I/O organisation and column addressing.
Full page burst operation do not self terminate once
the burst length has been reached. In other words,
unlike burst l ength of 2, 3 or 8, full page burst continues until it is terminated us ing another command.
Similar t o the page mode of co nventional
DRAM’s, burst read or write accesses on any column address a re possible once the RAS cycle
latches the sense amplifiers. The maximu m t
RAS
or
therefresh interval time limits the number of random
column accesses . A new burs t access can be done
even before the previous burst ends. The interrupt
operation a t every c lock cycles is supported. When
the previous burs t is interrupted, the remaining addresses are overridden by the new addres s with t he
full burst length. An interrupt which acc ompanies
with an operation change from a read to a write is
possible by exploiting DQM to avoid bus contention.
When two or more banks are activated
sequentially, interleaved bank read or write
operations are possibl e. With the programmed
burst length, al ternate access and precharge
operations on two or more banks can realize fast
serial data access modes among many different
pages. Once two or more bank s are activated,
column to column interleave operation can be done
between different pages.
Refresh Mode
SDRAM has two refresh modes, Aut o Refresh
and S elfRefres h. Auto Refresh is similar to the CA S
-before-RAS refresh of conventional DRAMs. All of
banks must be p rech arged before applying any refresh m ode. A n on-chip address counter increments
the wordand the bank addresses and no bank information is required for both refresh modes.
