W9825G6CH is a high-speed synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), organized as
4M words × 4 banks × 16 bits. Using pipelined architecture and 0.13 µm process technology,
W9825G6CH delivers a data bandwidth of up to 166M words per second (-6). To fully comply with the
personal computer industrial standard, W9825G6CH is sorted into two speed grades: -6, -7 and -75.
The -6 is compliant to the 166 MHz/CL3 specification, the -7 is compliant to the 143 MHz/CL3 or
PC133/CL2 specification, the -75 is compliant to the PC133/CL3 specification, for handheld device
application, we also provide a low power option, the 75L grade, with Self Refresh Current under 1mA.,
and an industrial temperature option, the grade of 75I, which is guranteed to support -40°C – 85°C.
Accesses to the SDRAM are burst oriented. Consecutive memory location in one page can be
accessed at a burst length of 1, 2, 4, 8 or full page when a bank and row is selected by an ACTIVE
command. Column addresses are automatically generated by the SDRAM internal counter in burst
operation. Random column read is also possible by providing its address at each clock cycle. The
multiple bank nature enables interleaving among internal banks to hide the precharging time.
By having a programmable Mode Register, the system can change burst length, latency cycle,
interleave or sequential burst to maximize its performance. W9825G6CH is ideal for main memory in
high performance applications.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Power Up and Initialization
The default power up state of the mode register is unspecified. The following power up and
initialization sequence need to be followed to guarantee the device being preconditioned to each user
specific needs.
During power up, all Vcc and VccQ pins must be ramp up simultaneously to the specified voltage
when the input signals are held in the "NOP" state. The power up voltage must not exceed Vcc +0.3V
on any of the input pins or Vcc supplies. After power up, an initial pause of 200 µS is required followed
by a precharge of all banks using the precharge command. To prevent data contention on the DQ bus
during power up, it is required that the DQM and CKE pins be held high during the initial pause period.
Once all banks have been precharged, the Mode Register Set Command must be issued to initialize
the Mode Register. An additional eight Auto Refresh cycles (CBR) are also required before or after
programming the Mode Register to ensure proper subsequent operation.
Programming Mode Register
After initial power up, the Mode Register Set Command must be issued for proper device operation.
All banks must be in a precharged state and CKE must be high at least one cycle before the Mode
Register Set Command can be issued. The Mode Register Set Command is activated by the low
signals of RAS, CAS, CS and WE at the positive edge of the clock. The address input data during this
cycle defines the parameters to be set as shown in the Mode Register Operation table. A new
command may be issued following the mode register set command once a delay equal to t
elapsed. Please refer to the next page for Mode Register Set Cycle and Operation Table.

The address inputs determine the starting column address.
Reading or writing to a different row within an activated bank requires the bank be precharged and a
new Bank Activate command be issued. When more than one bank is activated, interleaved bank
Read or Write operations are possible. By using the programmed burst length and alternating the
access and precharge operations between multiple banks, seamless data access operation among
many different pages can be realized. Read or Write Commands can also be issued to the same bank
or between active banks on every clock cycle.

Burst Read Command
The Burst Read command is initiated by applying logic low level to CS and CAS while holding RAS
and WE high at the rising edge of the clock. The address inputs determine the starting column
address for the burst. The Mode Register sets type of burst (sequential or interleave) and the burst
length (1, 2, 4, 8, full page) during the Mode Register Set Up cycle. Table 2 and 3 in the next page
explain the address sequence of interleave mode and sequential mode.
Burst Write Command
The Burst Write command is initiated by applying logic low level to CS, CAS and WE while holding
RAS high at the rising edge of the clock. The address inputs determine the starting column address.
Data for the first burst write cycle must be applied on the DQ pins on the same clock cycle that the
Write Command is issued. The remaining data inputs must be supplied on each subsequent rising
clock edge until the burst length is completed. Data supplied to the DQ pins after burst finishes will be
ignored.
Read Interrupted by a Read
A Burst Read may be interrupted by another Read Command. When the previous burst is interrupted,
the remaining addresses are overridden by the new read address with the full burst length. The data
from the first Read Command continues to appear on the outputs until the CAS latency from the
interrupting Read Command the is satisfied.
Read Interrupted by a Write
To interrupt a burst read with a Write Command, DQM may be needed to place the DQs (output
drivers) in a high impedance state to avoid data contention on the DQ bus. If a Read Command will
issue data on the first and second clocks cycles of the write operation, DQM is needed to insure the
DQs are tri-stated. After that point the Write Command will have control of the DQ bus and DQM
masking is no longer needed.
Write Interrupted by a Write
A burst write may be interrupted before completion of the burst by another Write Command. When the
previous burst is interrupted, the remaining addresses are overridden by the new address and data
will be written into the device until the programmed burst length is satisfied.
Write Interrupted by a Read
A Read Command will interrupt a burst write operation on the same clock cycle that the Read
Command is activated. The DQs must be in the high impedance state at least one cycle before the
new read data appears on the outputs to avoid data contention. When the Read Command is
activated, any residual data from the burst write cycle will be ignored.
Burst Stop Command
A Burst Stop Command may be used to terminate the existing burst operation but leave the bank open
for future Read or Write Commands to the same page of the active bank, if the burst length is full page.
Use of the Burst Stop Command during other burst length operations is illegal. The Burst Stop
Command is defined by having RAS and CAS high with CS and WE low at the rising edge of the clock.
The data DQs go to a high impedance state after a delay which is equal to the CAS Latency in a burst
read cycle interrupted by Burst Stop. If a Burst Stop Command is issued during a full page burst write
operation, then any residual data from the burst write cycle will be ignored.

Addressing Sequence of Sequential Mode
A column access is performed by increasing the address from the column address which is input to
the device. The disturb address is varied by the Burst Length as shown in Table 2.
Table 2 Address Sequence of Sequential Mode
DATA ACCESS ADDRESS BURST LENGTH
Data 0 n BL = 2 (disturb address is A0)
Data 1 n + 1 No address carry from A0 to A1
Data 2 n + 2 BL = 4 (disturb addresses are A0 and A1)
Data 3 n + 3 No address carry from A1 to A2
Data 4 n + 4
Data 5 n + 5 BL = 8 (disturb addresses are A0, A1 and A2)
Data 6 n + 6 No address carry from A2 to A3
Data 7 n + 7
Addressing Sequence of Interleave Mode
A column access is started in the input column address and is performed by inverting the address bit
in the sequence shown in Table 3.
