General Description  
The 512Mb SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic random-access memory containing 536,870,912 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 x4’s 134,217,728-bit banks is organized as 8192 rows by 4096 columns by  
4bits. Each of the x8’s 134,217,728-bit banks is organized as 8192 rows by 2048 columns by 8 bits. Each of the  
x16’s 134,217,728-bit banks is organized as 8192 rows by 1024 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 (BA[1:0] select the bank; A[12:0] 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 (BL) of 1, 2, 4, or 8locations, 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 initiated at the end of the burst sequence.  
The 512Mb 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, random-access operation.  
The 512Mb SDRAM is designed to operate in 3.3V memory systems. An auto refresh mode is provided, along with  
a power-saving, power-down mode. All inputs and out-puts 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 to hide precharge time, and the capability to randomly change column addresses on each clock cycle during  
a burst access.

Description  
CLK  
Input  
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.  
CKE  
Input  
Clock enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CLK signal.  
Deactivating the clock provides precharge power-down and SELF REFRESH  
operation (all banks idle), active power-down (row active in any 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 stand by 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,  
but READ/WRITE bursts already in progress will continue, and DQM  
operation will retain its DQ mask capability while CS# is 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.  
x16:DQML,  
DQMHLDQM,  
UDQM(54-ball)  
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.  
On the x4 and x8, DQML (pin 15) is a NC and DQMH is DQM. On the x16,  
DQML corresponds to DQ[7:0], and DQMH corresponds to DQ[15:8]. DQML  
and DQMH are considered same state when referenced as DQM.  
Bank address input(s): BA[1:0] defines to which bank the ACTIVE, READ,  
WRITE, or PRECHARGE command is being applied.  
Address inputs: A[12:0] are sampled during the ACTIVE command (row  
address A[12:0]) and READ or WRITE command (column address A[9:0], A11,  
and A12 for x4; A[9:0] and A11 for x8;A[9:0] for x16; 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 A10 (LOW). The  
address inputs also provide the op-code during a LOAD MODE REGISTER  
command.

Temperature and Thermal Impedance  
It is imperative that the SDRAM device’s temperature specifications, shown in Table 6(page 14), be maintained to  
ensure the junction temperature is in the proper operating range to meet data sheet specifications. An important  
step in maintaining the proper junction temperature is using the device’s thermal impedances correctly. The  
thermal impedances are listed in Table 6 (page 14) for the applicable die revision and packages being made  
available. These thermal impedance values vary according to the density, package, and particular design used for  
each device.  
Incorrectly using thermal impedances can produce significant errors. To ensure the compatibility of current and  
future de-signs, contact Alliance Memory Applications Engineering to confirm thermal impedance values.  
The SDRAM device’s safe junction temperature range can be maintained when the TC specification is not exceeded.  
In applications where the device’s ambient temperature is too high, use of forced air and/or heat sinks may be  
required to satisfy the case temperature specifications.

1. MAX operating case temperature, TC, is measured in the center of the package on the top side of the device, as shown in  
Figure 6 (page 14).  
2. Device functionality is not guaranteed if the device exceeds maximum TC during operation.  
3. All temperature specifications must be satisfied.  
4. The case temperature should be measured by gluing a thermocouple to the top-center of the component. This should be  
done with a 1mm bead of conductive epoxy, as de-fined by the JEDEC EIA/JESD51 standards. Take care to ensure that the  
thermocouple bead is touching the case.

2. The minimum specifications are used only to indicate cycle time at which proper operation  
over the full temperature range is ensured; (0°C TA +70°C (commercial), 40°C TA ≤  
+85°C (industrial), and 40°C TA +105°C (automotive)).  
3. 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 tREF refresh requirement is  
exceeded.  
4. AC operating and IDD test conditions have VIL = 0V and VIH = 3.0V using a measurement  
reference level of 1.5V. If the input transition time is longer than 1ns, then the timing is  
measured from VIL, max and VIH, min and no longer from the 1.5V midpoint. CLK should  
always be 1.5V referenced to crossover.  
5. IDD specifications are tested after the device is properly initialized.  
6. IDD is dependent on output loading and cycle rates. Specified values are obtained with  
minimum cycle time and the outputs open.  
7. Enables on-chip refresh and address counters.  
8. Other input signals are allowed to transition no more than once every two clocks and  
are otherwise at valid VIH or VIL levels.  
9. The IDD current will increase or decrease proportionally according to the amount of  
frequency alteration for the test condition.  
10. Address transitions average one transition every two clocks.  
11. PC100 specifies a maximum of 4pF.  
12. PC100 specifies a maximum of 5pF.

Functional Description  
In general, 512Mb SDRAM devices (32 Meg x 4 x 4 banks) are quad-bank DRAM  
that 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 134,217,728-bit  
banks is organized as 8192 rows by 1024 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, 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; A [12:0] select the row). The address bits  
(x4: A [9:0], A11, A12; x8: A [9:0], A11; x16: A [9:0]) 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  
pro-vide detailed information covering device initialization, register definition,  
command descriptions, and device operation.

Notes: 1. CKE is HIGH for all commands shown except SELF REFRESH.  
2. A[0:n] provide row address (where An is the most significant address bit), BA0  
and BA1 determine which bank is made active.  
3. A[0:i] provide column address (where i = the most significant column address  
for a given device configuration). A10 HIGH enables the auto precharge feature  
(nonpersistent), while A10 LOW disables the auto precharge feature. BA0 and  
BA1 determine which bank is being read from or written to.  
4. The purpose of the BURST TERMINATE command is to stop a data burst, thus  
the command could coincide with data on the bus. However, the DQ column  
reads a “Don’t Care” state to illustrate that the BURST TERMINATE command  
can occur when there is no data present.  
5. A10 LOW: BA0, BA1 determine the bank being precharged. A10 HIGH: all  
banks pre-charged and BA0, BA1 are “Don’t Care.”  
6. This command is AUTO REFRESH if CKE is HIGH, SELF REFRESH if CKE is LOW.  
7. Internal refresh counter controls row addressing; all inputs and I/Os are “Don’t  
Care” except for CKE.  
8. A[11:0] define the op-code written to the mode register.  
9. Activates or deactivates the DQ during WRITEs (zero-clock delay) and READs  
(two-clock delay).  
COMMAND INHIBIT  
The COMMAND INHIBIT function prevents new commands from being executed by  
the device, regardless of whether the CLK signal is enabled. The device is effectively  
de-selected. Operations already in progress are not affected.

NO OPERATION (NOP)  
The NO OPERATION (NOP) command is used to perform a NOP to the selected device  
(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 (LMR)  
The mode registers are loaded via inputs A[n:0] (where An is the most significant ad-dress  
term), BA0, and BA1(see Mode Register (page 35)). The LOAD MODE REGISTER  
command can only be issued when all banks are idle and a subsequent executable command  
t
cannot be issued until MRD is met.  
ACTIVE  
The ACTIVE command is used to 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 selects the row.  
This row remains active for accesses until a PRECHARGE command is is-sued 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 values on the  
BA0 and BA1 inputs select the bank; the address provided selects the starting column location.  
The value on input A10 determines whether auto precharge is used. If au-to precharge is  
selected, the row being accessed is precharged at the end of the READ burst; if auto precharge  
is not selected, the row remains open for subsequent accesses. Read data appears on the DQ  
subject to the logic level on the DQM inputs two clocks earlier. If a given DQM signal was  
registered HIGH, the corresponding DQ will be High-Z two clocks later; if the DQM signal  
was registered LOW, the DQ will provide valid data.

WRITE  
The WRITE command is used to initiate a burst write access to an active row. The values on  
the BA0 and BA1 inputs select the bank; the address provided selects the starting column  
location. The value on input A10 determines whether auto precharge is used. If au-to precharge  
is selected, the row being accessed is precharged at the end of the write burst; if auto precharge  
is not selected, the row remains open for subsequent accesses. Input data appearing on the DQ  
is written to the memory array, subject to the DQM in-put logic level appearing coincident with  
the data. If a given DQM signal is registered LOW, the corresponding data is written to  
memory; if the DQM signal is registered HIGH, the corresponding data inputs are ignored and  
a WRITE is not 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 specified  
t
time ( RP) 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 precharged, inputs BA0  
and BA1 select the bank. Otherwise BA0 and BA1 are treated as “Don’t Care.” After a bank  
has been precharged, it is in the idle state and must be activated prior to any READ or  
WRITE commands are issued to that bank.

BURST TERMINATE  
The BURST TERMINATE command is used to truncate either fixed-length or continuous page bursts. The most recently  
registered READ or WRITE command prior to the BURST TERMINATE command is truncated.

REFRESH  
AUTO REFRESH  
AUTO REFRESH is used during normal operation of the SDRAM and is analogous to CAS#-  
BEFORE-RAS# (CBR) refresh in conventional DRAMs. This command is non-persistent, so it  
must be issued each time a refresh is required. All active banks must be pre-charged prior to  
issuing an AUTO REFRESH command. The AUTO REFRESH command should not be issued  
t
until the minimum RP has been met after the PRECHARGE command, as shown in  
Bank/Row Activation (page 40).  
The addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This makes the address bits a  
“Don’t Care” during an AUTO REFRESH command. Regardless of device width, the 512Mb  
SDRAM requires 8192 AUTO REFRESH cycles every 64ms (commercial and industrial).  
Providing a distributed AUTO REFRESH command every 7.813μ s (commercial and  
industrial) will meet the refresh requirement and ensure that each row is refreshed.  
Alternatively, 8192 AUTO REFRESH commands can be issued in a burst at the minimum  
t
cycle rate ( RFC), once every 64ms (commercial and industrial).  
SELF REFRESH  
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). After the SELF REFRESH command is registered, all the inputs to the  
SDRAM become a “Don’t Care” with the exception of CKE, which must remain LOW.  
After 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 re-fresh mode  
t
for a minimum period equal to RAS and may 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 (stable clock is defined as a signal cycling within timing constraints specified for the  
clock pin) prior to CKE going back HIGH. After CKE is HIGH, the SDRAM must have NOP  
t
commands issued (a minimum of two clocks) for XSR because time is required for the  
completion of any internal refresh in progress.  
Upon exiting the self-refresh mode, AUTO REFRESH commands must be issued at the  
specified intervals, as both SELF REFRESH and AUTO REFRESH utilize the row refresh  
counter.

Initialization  
SDRAM must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures  
other than those specified may result in undefined operation. After power is applied to V  
DD  
(simultaneously) and the clock is stable (stable clock is defined as a signal cycling  
and V  
DDQ  
within timing constraints specified for the clock pin), the SDRAM requires a 100μ s delay  
prior to issuing any command other than a COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP. Starting at some  
point during this 100μ s period and continuing at least through the end of this period,  
COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP commands must be applied.  
After the 100μ s delay has been satisfied with at least one COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP  
command having been applied, a PRECHARGE command should be applied. All banks must  
then be precharged, thereby placing the device in the all banks idle state.  
Once in the idle state, at least two AUTO REFRESH cycles must be performed. After the  
AUTO REFRESH cycles are complete, the SDRAM is ready for mode register programming.  
Because the mode register will power up in an unknown state, it must be loaded prior to  
applying any operational command. If desired, the two AUTO REFRESH commands can be  
issued after the LMR command.  
The recommended power-up sequence for SDRAM:  
1. Simultaneously apply power to V  
and V  
.
DD  
DDQ  
2. Assert and hold CKE at a LVTTL logic LOW since all inputs and outputs are LVTTL-  
compatible.  
3. Provide stable CLOCK signal. Stable clock is defined as a signal cycling within timing  
constraints specified for the clock pin.  
4. Wait at least 100μ s prior to issuing any command other than a COMMAND INHIBIT  
or NOP.  
5. Starting at some point during this 100μ s period, bring CKE HIGH. Continuing at least  
through the end of this period, 1 or more COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP commands  
must be applied.  
6. Perform a PRECHARGE ALL command.  
t
7. Wait at least RP time; during this time NOPs or DESELECT commands must be given.  
All banks will complete their precharge, thereby placing the device in the all banks idle  
state.  
8. Issue an AUTO REFRESH command.  
t
9. Wait at least RFC time, during which only NOPs or COMMAND INHIBIT  
commands are allowed.  
10. Issue an AUTO REFRESH command.  
t
11. Wait at least RFC time, during which only NOPs or COMMAND INHIBIT  
commands are allowed.  
12. The SDRAM is now ready for mode register programming. Because the mode register  
will power up in an unknown state, it should be loaded with desired bit values prior to  
applying any operational command. Using the LMR command, program the mode  
register. The mode register is programmed via the MODE REGISTER SET command  
with BA1 = 0, BA0 = 0 and retains the stored information until it is programmed again or  
the device loses power. Not programming the mode register upon initialization will result  
in default settings which may not be desired. Out-puts are guaranteed High-Z after the  
LMR command is issued. Outputs should be High-Z already before the LMR command  
is issued.  
t
13. Wait at least MRD time, during which only NOP or DESELECT commands are al-  
lowed.  
At this point the DRAM is ready for any valid command.

Mode Register  
The mode register defines the specific mode of operation, including burst length (BL), burst  
type, CAS latency (CL), operating mode, and write burst mode. The mode register is  
programmed via the LOAD MODE REGISTER command and retains the stored information  
until it is programmed again or the device loses power.  
Mode register bits M[2:0] specify the BL; M3 specifies the type of burst; M[6:4] specify the  
CL; M7 and M8 specify the operating mode; M9 specifies the write burst mode; and M10Mn  
should be set to zero to ensure compatibility with future revisions. Mn + 1 and Mn + 2 should  
be set to zero to select the mode register.  
t
The mode registers must be loaded when all banks are idle, and the controller must wait MRD  
before initiating the subsequent operation. Violating either of these requirements will result in  
unspecified operation.

Burst Length  
Read and write accesses to the device are burst oriented, and the burst length (BL) is  
programmable. 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, 8, or  
continuous locations are available for both the sequential and the interleaved burst types, and  
a continuous page burst is available for the sequential type. The continuous 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 wraps within the block when a boundary is reached. The block is uniquely selected by  
A[8:1] when BL = 2, A[8:2] when BL = 4, and A[8:3] when BL = 8. The remaining (least  
significant) address bit(s) is (are) used to select the starting location within the block.  
Continuous page bursts wrap within the page when the boundary is reached.  
Burst Type  
Accesses within a given burst can 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.

CAS Latency  
The CAS latency (CL) is the delay, in clock cycles, between the registration of a READ  
command and the availability of the 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 DQ 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 is  
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 DQ start driving after T1 and the data is valid by T2.  
Reserved states should not be used as unknown operation or incompatibility with future  
versions may result.  
Figure 13: CAS Latency  
Operating Mode  
Write Burst Mode  
The normal operating mode is selected by setting M7 and M8 to zero; the other combinations  
of values for M7 and M8 are reserved for future use. Reserved states should not be used  
because unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.  
When M9 = 0, the burst length programmed via M[2:0] applies to both READ and WRITE  
bursts; when M9 = 1, the programmed burst length applies to READ bursts, but write  
accesses are single-location (non-burst) accesses.

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.  
After a row is opened with the ACTIVE command, a READ or WRITE command can be  
t
t
issued to that row, subject to the RCD specification. RCD (MIN) should be divided by the  
clock period and rounded up to the next whole number to determine the earliest clock edge  
after the ACTIVE command on which a READ or WRITE command can be entered. For  
t
example, a RCD specification of 20ns with a 125 MHz clock (8ns period) results in 2.5  
clocks, rounded to 3. This is reflected in Figure 14 (page 40), which covers any case where 2  
t
t
< RCD (MIN)/ CK 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 precharged. The minimum time interval between successive  
t
ACTIVE commands to the same bank is defined by RC.  
A subsequent ACTIVE 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  
t
interval between successive ACTIVE commands to different banks is defined by RRD.

READ Operation  
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command, as shown in Figure 8 (page 24). 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. In the following figures, auto  
precharge is disabled.  
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element from the starting column address is  
available following the CAS latency after the READ command. Each subsequent data-out  
element will be valid by the next positive clock edge. Figure 16 (page 43) shows general  
timing for each possible CAS latency setting.  
Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other commands have been initiated, the DQ signals  
will go to High-Z. A continuous page burst continues until terminated. At the end of the page,  
it wraps to column 0 and continues.  
Data from any READ burst can be truncated with a subsequent READ command, and data  
from a fixed-length READ burst can be followed immediately 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 either follows the last element of a completed burst or the last desired data  
element of a longer burst that 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 = CL - 1.  
This is shown in Figure 16 (page 43) for CL2 and CL3.  
SDRAM devices use a pipelined architecture and therefore do not require the 2n rule  
associated with a prefetch architecture. A READ command can be initiated on any clock cycle  
following a READ command. Full-speed random read accesses can be performed to the same  
bank, or each subsequent READ can be performed to a different bank.

Figure 16: Random READ Accesses  
Data from any READ burst can be truncated with a subsequent WRITE command, and data  
from a fixed-length READ burst can be followed immediately by data from a WRITE  
command (subject to bus turnaround limitations). The WRITE burst can 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 is a possibility  
that the device driving the input data will go Low-Z before the DQ 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 Figure 17 (page 44) and Figure  
18 (page 45). 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 da-ta-out from  
the READ. After the WRITE command is registered, the DQ will go to High-Z (or remain  
High-Z), regardless of the state of the DQM signal, provided the DQM was active on the clock  
just prior to the WRITE command that truncated the READ command. If not, the second  
WRITE will be an invalid WRITE. For example, if DQM was LOW during T4, then the  
WRITEs at T5 and T7 would be valid, and the WRITE at T6 would be invalid.

AS4C32M16SM  
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 17 (page 44)  
shows where, due to the clock cycle frequency, bus contention is avoided without having to  
add a NOP cycle, while Figure 18 (page 45) shows the case where an additional NOP cycle  
is required.  
A fixed-length READ burst may be followed by or truncated with a PRECHARGE command  
to the same bank, provided that auto precharge was not activated. The PRE-CHARGE  
command should be issued x cycles before the clock edge at which the last de-sired data  
element is valid, where x = CL - 1. This is shown in Figure 19 (page 45) for each possible CL;  
data element n + 3 is either the last of a burst of four or the last de-sired data element of a  
longer burst. Following the PRECHARGE command, a subsequent command to the same bank  
t
cannot be issued until RP is met. Note that part of the row precharge time is hidden during the  
access of the last data element(s).  
In the case of a fixed-length burst being executed to completion, a PRECHARGE command  
issued at the optimum time (as described above) provides the same operation that would result  
from the same fixed-length burst with auto precharge. The disadvantage of the PRECHARGE  
command is that it requires that the command and address buses be available at the  
appropriate time to issue the command. The advantage of the PRECHARGE command is that  
it can be used to truncate fixed-length or continuous page bursts.

WRITE Operation  
WRITE bursts are initiated with a WRITE command, as shown in Figure 9 (page 25). 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 figures, auto precharge is disabled.  
During WRITE bursts, the first valid data-in element is registered coincident with the WRITE  
command. Subsequent data elements are registered on each successive positive clock edge.  
Upon completion of a fixed-length burst, assuming no other commands have been initiated, the  
DQ will remain at High-Z and any additional input data will be ignored (see Figure 24 (page  
50)). A continuous page burst continues until terminated; at the end of the page, it wraps to  
column 0 and continues.  
Data for any WRITE burst can be truncated with a subsequent WRITE command, and data  
for a fixed-length WRITE burst can be followed immediately 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 (see Figure 25 (page 51)). Data n + 1 is either the last of a burst of two or the  
last desired data element of a longer burst.  
SDRAM devices use a pipelined architecture and therefore do 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 26 (page 52), or each subsequent WRITE can  
be performed to a different bank.

Data for any WRITE burst can be truncated with a subsequent READ command, and data for  
a fixed-length WRITE burst can be followed immediately by a READ command. After the  
READ command is registered, data input is ignored and WRITEs will not be executed (see  
Figure 27 (page 52)). Data n + 1 is either the last of a burst of two or the last desired data  
element of a longer burst.  
Data for a fixed-length WRITE burst can be followed by or truncated with a PRE-CHARGE  
command to the same bank, provided that auto precharge was not activated. A continuous-  
page WRITE burst can be truncated with a PRECHARGE command to the same bank. The  
t
PRECHARGE command should be issued WR after the clock edge at which the last desired  
t
input data element is registered. The auto precharge mode re-quires a WR of at least one  
clock with time to complete, regardless of frequency.  
t
In addition, when truncating a WRITE burst at high clock frequencies ( CK < 15ns), the  
DQM signal must be used to mask input data for the clock edge prior to and the clock edge  
coincident with the PRECHARGE command (see Figure 28 (page 53)). Data n + 1 is either  
the last of a burst of two or the last desired data element of a longer burst. Following the  
t
PRECHARGE command, a subsequent command to the same bank cannot be issued until RP  
is met.  
In the case of a fixed-length burst being executed to completion, a PRECHARGE command  
issued at the optimum time (as described above) provides the same operation that would result  
from the same fixed-length burst with auto precharge. The disadvantage of the PRECHARGE  
command is that it requires that the command and address buses be available at the appropriate  
time to issue the command. The advantage of the PRECHARGE command is that it can be used  
to truncate fixed-length bursts or continuous page bursts.

The PRECHARGE command (see Figure 10 (page 26)) 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 sub-sequent  
t
row access some specified time ( RP) after the PRECHARGE command is is-sued. Input A10  
determines whether one or all banks are to be precharged, and in the case where only one bank  
is to be precharged (A10 = LOW), inputs BA0 and BA1 select the bank. When all banks are to  
be precharged (A10 = HIGH), inputs BA0 and BA1 are treated as “Don’t Care.” After 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.  
Auto Precharge  
Auto precharge is a feature that performs the same individual-bank PRECHARGE function  
described previously, 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  
continuous page burst mode where auto precharge does not apply. In the specific case of write  
burst mode set to single location access with burst length set to continuous, the burst length  
setting is the overriding setting and 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.  
t
Another command cannot be issued to the same bank until the precharge time ( RP) is  
completed. This is determined as if an explicit PRECHARGE command was is-sued at the  
earliest possible time, as described for each burst type in the Burst Type (page 37) section.  
Alliance Memory SDRAM supports concurrent auto precharge; cases of concurrent auto  
pre-charge for READs and WRITEs are defined below.  
READ with auto precharge interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge)  
A READ to bank m will interrupt a READ on bank n following the programmed CAS  
latency. The precharge to bank n begins when the READ to bank m is registered (see Figure  
33 (page 59)).  
READ with auto precharge interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge)  
A WRITE to bank m will interrupt a READ on bank n when registered. DQM should be  
used two clocks prior to the WRITE command to prevent bus contention. The pre-charge to  
bank n begins when the WRITE to bank m is registered (see Figure 34  
(page 60)).  
WRITE with auto precharge interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge)  
A READ to bank m will interrupt a WRITE on bank n when registered, with the data-out  
t
t
appearing CL later. The precharge to bank n will begin after WR is met, where WR be-gins  
when the READ to bank m is registered. The last valid WRITE to bank n will be da-ta-in  
registered one clock prior to the READ to bank m (see Figure 39 (page 65)).  
WRITE with auto precharge interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge)  
A WRITE to bank m will interrupt a WRITE on bank n when registered. The precharge to  
t
t
bank n will begin after WR is met, where WR begins when the WRITE to bank m is  
registered. The last valid data WRITE to bank n will be data registered one clock prior to a  
WRITE to bank m (see Figure 40 (page 65)).

AUTO REFRESH Operation  
The AUTO REFRESH command is used during normal operation of the device to refresh the  
contents of the array. This command is nonpersistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is  
required. All active banks must be precharged prior to issuing an AUTO REFRESH command.  
t
The AUTO REFRESH command should not be issued until the minimum RP is met following  
the PRECHARGE command. Addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This  
makes the address bits “Don’t Care” during an AU-TO REFRESH command.  
After the AUTO REFRESH command is initiated, it must not be interrupted by any executable  
t
t
command until RFC has been met. During RFC time, COMMAND INHIBIT or NOP  
commands must be issued on each positive edge of the clock. The SDRAM re-quires that every  
t
row be refreshed each REF period. Providing a distributed AUTO RE-FRESH command—  
t
calculated by dividing the refresh period ( REF) by the number of rows to be refreshedmeets  
the timing requirement and ensures that each row is refreshed. Alternatively, to satisfy the  
t
refresh requirement a burst refresh can be employed after every REF period by issuing  
consecutive AUTO REFRESH commands for the number of rows to be refreshed at the  
t
minimum cycle rate ( RFC).

SELF REFRESH Operation  
The self-refresh mode can be used to retain data in the device, even when the rest of the system  
is powered down. When in self refresh mode, the device retains data without external clocking.  
The SELF REFRESH command is initiated like an AUTO REFRESH command, except CKE  
is disabled (LOW). After the SELF REFRESH command is registered, all the inputs to the  
device become “Don’t Care” with the exception of CKE, which must remain LOW.  
After self-refresh mode is engaged, the device provides its own internal clocking, enabling it to  
perform its own AUTO REFRESH cycles. The device must remain in self re-fresh mode for a  
t
minimum period equal to RAS and remains 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. (Stable clock is defined as a signal cycling within timing  
constraints specified for the clock ball.) After CKE is HIGH, the device must have NOP  
t
commands issued for a minimum of two clocks for XSR because time is required for the  
completion of any internal refresh in progress.  
Upon exiting the self-refresh mode, AUTO REFRESH commands must be issued according to  
t
the distributed refresh rate ( REF/refresh row count) as both SELF REFRESH and AUTO  
REFRESH utilize the row refresh counter.

Power-Down  
Power-down occurs if CKE is registered LOW coincident with a NOP or COMMAND IN-  
HIBIT 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 any bank, this mode is referred to as active power-down. Entering power-down deactivates  
the input and output buffers, excluding CKE, for maximum power savings while in standby.  
The device cannot remain in the power-down state longer than the refresh period (64ms)  
because no REFRESH operations are performed in this mode.  
The power-down state is exited by registering a NOP or COMMAND INHIBIT with CKE  
t
HIGH at the desired clock edge (meeting 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 balls when an internal clock  
edge is suspended will be ignored; any data present on the DQ balls re-mains driven; and  
burst counters are not incremented, as long as the clock is suspended.  
Exit clock suspend mode by registering CKE HIGH; the internal clock and related operation  
will resume on the subsequent positive clock edge.
