1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W632GU6KB is a 2G bits DDR3L SDRAM, organized as 16,777,216 words 8 banks 16 bits.
This device achieves high speed transfer rates up to 1866 Mb/sec/pin (DDR3L-1866) for various
applications. The W632GU6KB is sorted into the following speed grades: -11, -12, 12I, -15 and 15I.
The -11 speed grade is compliant to the DDR3L-1866 (13-13-13) specification. The -12 and 12I speed
grades are compliant to the DDR3L-1600 (11-11-11) specification (the 12I industrial grade which is
guaranteed to support -40°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 95°C). The -15 and 15I speed grades are compliant to the
DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9) specification (the 15I industrial grade which is guaranteed to support -40°C ≤
TCASE ≤ 95°C).
The W632GU6KB is designed to comply with the following key DDR3L SDRAM features such as
posted CAS#, programmable CAS# Write Latency (CWL), ZQ calibration, on die termination and
asynchronous reset. All of the control and address inputs are synchronized with a pair of externally
supplied differential clocks. Inputs are latched at the cross point of differential clocks (CK rising and
CK# falling). All I/Os are synchronized with a differential DQS-DQS# pair in a source synchronous
fashion.

Notes: (Field value contents in blue font or parentheses are optional AC parameter and CL setting)
1. All speed grades support 0°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 85°C with full JEDEC AC and DC specifications.
2. For -11, -12 and -15 speed grades, -40°C ≤ TCASE < 0°C is not available.
3. 12I and 15I speed grades support -40°C ≤ TCASE ≤ 85°C with full JEDEC AC and DC specifications.
4. For all speed grade parts, TCASE is able to extend to 95°C with doubling Auto Refresh commands in frequency to a 32 mS
period ( tREFI = 3.9 µS), it is mandatory to either use the Manual Self-Refresh mode with Extended Temperature Range
capability (MR2 A6 = 0b and MR2 A7 = 1b) or enable the Auto Self-Refresh mode (ASR) (MR2 A6 = 1b, MR2 A7 is don't care).
5. For devices supporting optional down binning to CL=7 and CL=9, tAA/tRCD/tRP min must be 13.125 nS or lower. SPD settings must
be programmed to match. For example, DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9) devices supporting down binning to DDR3L-1066 (7-7-7) should
program 13.125 nS in SPD bytes for tAAmin (Byte 16), tRCDmin (Byte 18), and tRPmin (Byte 20). DDR3L-1600 (11-11-11) devices
supporting down binning to DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9) or DDR3L-1066 (7-7-7) should program 13.125 nS in SPD bytes for tAAmin
(Byte16), tRCDmin (Byte 18), and tRPmin (Byte 20). Once tRP (Byte 20) is programmed to 13.125 nS, tRCmin (Byte 21, 23) also
should be programmed accodingly. For example, 49.125nS (tRASmin + tRPmin = 36 nS + 13.125 nS) for DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9) and
48.125 nS (tRASmin + tRPmin = 35 nS + 13.125 nS) for DDR3L-1600 (11-11-11).

DESCRIPTION
Clock: CK and CK# are differential clock inputs. All address and
control input signals are sampled on the crossing of the positive edge
of CK and negative edge of CK#.
J7, K7
CK, CK#
Input
Clock Enable: CKE HIGH activates, and CKE Low deactivates,
internal clock signals and device input buffers and output drivers.
Taking CKE Low provides Precharge Power Down and Self-Refresh
operation (all banks idle), or Active Power Down (row Active in any
bank). CKE is asynchronous for Self-Refresh exit. After VREFCA and
VREFDQ have become stable during the power on and initialization
sequence, they must be maintained during all operations (including
Self-Refresh). CKE must be maintained high throughout read and
write accesses. Input buffers, excluding CK, CK#, ODT and CKE, are
disabled during power down. Input buffers, excluding CKE, are
disabled during Self-Refresh.

On Die Termination: ODT (registered HIGH) enables termination
resistance internal to the DDR3L SDRAM. When enabled, ODT is
applied to each DQ, DQSU, DQSU#, DQSL, DQSL#, DMU, and DML
signal. The ODT signal will be ignored if Mode Registers MR1 and
MR2 are programmed to disable ODT and during Self Refresh.

Input Data Mask: DMU and DML are the input mask signals control the
lower or upper bytes for write data. Input data is masked when
DMU/DML is sampled HIGH coincident with that input data during a
Write access. DM is sampled on both edges of DQS.
DMU, DML
Bank Address Inputs: BA0−BA2 define to which bank an Active, Read,
Write, or Precharge command is being applied. Bank address also
determines which mode register is to be accessed during a MRS
cycle.

Address Inputs: Provide the row address for Active commands and the
column address for Read/Write commands to select one location out
of the memory array in the respective bank. (A10/AP and A12/BC#
have additional functions; see below). The address inputs also provide
the op-code during Mode Register Set command.

determine whether Auto-precharge should be performed to the
accessed bank after the Read/Write operation.
L7
A10/AP
Input
(HIGH: Auto-precharge; LOW: no Auto-precharge). A10 is sampled
during a Precharge command to determine whether the Precharge
applies to one bank (A10 LOW) or all banks (A10 HIGH). If only one
bank is to be precharged, the bank is selected by bank addresses.
Burst Chop: A12/BC# is sampled during Read and Write commands to
determine if burst chop (on-the-fly) will be performed.

Input
(HIGH, no burst chop; LOW: burst chopped). See section 9.1
“Command Truth Table” on page 94 for details.
Active Low Asynchronous Reset: Reset is active when RESET# is
LOW, and inactive when RESET# is HIGH. RESET# must be HIGH
during normal operation. RESET# is a CMOS rai to rail signal with DC
high and low at 80% and 20% of VDD, RESET# active is destructive to
data contents.

8. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
8.1 Basic Functionality
The DDR3L SDRAM is a high-speed dynamic random-access memory internally configured as an
eight-bank DRAM. The DDR3L SDRAM uses an 8n prefetch architecture to achieve high-speed
operation. The 8n prefetch architecture is combined with an interface designed to transfer two data
words per clock cycle at the I/O pins. A single read or write operation for the DDR3L SDRAM consists
of a single 8n-bit wide, four clock data transfer at the internal DRAM core and eight corresponding n-
bit wide, one-half clock cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.
Read and write operation to the DDR3L SDRAM are burst oriented, start at a selected location, and
continue for a burst length of eight or a ‘chopped’ burst of four in a programmed sequence. Operation
begins 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 activated (BA0-BA2 select the bank; A0-A13 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 operation, determine if the auto precharge command is to be issued (via A10), and select
BC4 or BL8 mode ‘on the fly’ (via A12) if enabled in the mode register.
Prior to normal operation, the DDR3L SDRAM must be powered up and initialized in a predefined
manner. The following sections provide detailed information covering device reset and initialization,
register definition, command descriptions, and device operation.
8.2 RESET and Initialization Procedure
8.2.1 Power-up Initialization Sequence
The following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization.
1. Apply power (RESET# is recommended to be maintained below 0.2 * VDD; all other inputs may be
undefined). RESET# needs to be maintained for minimum 200 µS with stable power. CKE is pulled
“Low” anytime before RESET# being de-asserted (min. time 10 nS). The power voltage ramp time
between 300 mV to VDD min. must be no greater than 200 mS; and during the ramp, VDD ≥ VDDQ
and (VDD - VDDQ) < 0.3 Volts.
VDD and VDDQ are driven from a single power converter output, AND
The voltage levels on all pins other than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to
VDDQ and VDD on one side and must be larger than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side.
In addition, VTT is limited to 0.95 V max once power ramp is finished, AND
VREF tracks VDDQ/2.
OR
Apply VDD without any slope reversal before or at the same time as VDDQ.
Apply VDDQ without any slope reversal before or at the same time as VTT & VREF.
The voltage levels on all pins other than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to
VDDQ and VDD on one side and must be larger than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side.
2. After RESET# is de-asserted, wait for another 500 µS until CKE becomes active. During this time,
the DRAM will start internal state initialization; this will be done independently of external clocks.
3. Clocks (CK, CK#) need to be started and stabilized for at least 10 nS or 5 tCK (which is larger)
before CKE goes active. Since CKE is a synchronous signal, the corresponding set up time to
clock (tIS) must be met. Also, a NOP or Deselect command must be registered (with tIS set up time
to clock) before CKE goes active. Once the CKE is registered “High” after Reset, CKE needs to be
continuously registered “High” until the initialization sequence is finished, including expiration of
tDLLK and tZQinit.

Revision: A06

W632GU6KB
4. The DDR3L SDRAM keeps its on-die termination in high-impedance state as long as RESET# is
asserted. Further, the SDRAM keeps its on-die termination in high impedance state after RESET#
deassertion until CKE is registered HIGH. The ODT input signal may be in undefined state until tIS
before CKE is registered HIGH. When CKE is registered HIGH, the ODT input signal may be
statically held at either LOW or HIGH. If Rtt_Nom is to be enabled in MR1, the ODT input signal
must be statically held LOW. In all cases, the ODT input signal remains static until the power up
initialization sequence is finished, including the expiration of tDLLK and tZQinit.
5. After CKE is being registered high, wait minimum of Reset CKE Exit time, tXPR, before issuing the
first MRS command to load mode register. (tXPR=max (tXS ; 5 * tCK)
6. Issue MRS Command to load MR2 with all application settings. (To issue MRS command for MR2,
provide “Low” to BA0 and BA2, “High” to BA1.)
7. Issue MRS Command to load MR3 with all application settings. (To issue MRS command for MR3,
provide “Low” to BA2, “High” to BA0 and BA1.)
8. Issue MRS Command to load MR1 with all application settings and DLL enabled. (To issue “DLL
Enable” command, provide “Low” to A0, “High” to BA0 and “Low” to BA1-BA2).
9. Issue MRS Command to load MR0 with all application settings and “DLL reset”. (To issue DLL
reset command, provide “High” to A8 and “Low” to BA0-2).
10.Issue ZQCL command to starting ZQ calibration.
11.Wait for both tDLLK and tZQinit completed.
12.The DDR3L SDRAM is now ready for normal operation.

8.3 Programming the Mode Registers
For application flexibility, various functions, features, and modes are programmable in four Mode
Registers, provided by the DDR3L SDRAM, as user defined variables and they must be programmed
via a Mode Register Set (MRS) command. As the default values of the Mode Registers (MR#) are not
defined, contents of Mode Registers must be fully initialized and/or re-initialized, i.e., written, after
power up and/or reset for proper operation. Also the contents of the Mode Registers can be altered by
re-executing the MRS command during normal operation. When programming the mode registers,
even if the user chooses to modify only a sub-set of the MRS fields, all address fields within the
accessed mode register must be redefined when the MRS command is issued. MRS command and
DLL Reset do not affect array contents, which mean these commands can be executed any time after
power-up without affecting the array contents.
The mode register set command cycle time, tMRD is required to complete the write operation to the
mode register and is the minimum time required between two MRS commands shown in Figure 3.

The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and timing requirements
during normal operation as long as the DRAM is in idle state, i.e., all banks are in the precharged state
with tRP satisfied, all data bursts are completed and CKE is high prior to writing into the mode register.
If the Rtt_Nom Feature is enabled in the Mode Register prior and/or after a MRS command, the ODT
signal must continuously be registered LOW ensuring RTT is in an off state prior to the MRS
command. The ODT signal may be registered high after tMOD has expired. If the Rtt_Nom feature is
disabled in the Mode Register prior and after a MRS command, the ODT signal can be registered
either LOW or HIGH before, during and after the MRS command. The mode registers are divided into
various fields depending on the functionality and/or modes.

8.3.1.1 Burst Length, Type and Order
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed to sequential or interleaved order. The burst type
is selected via bit A3 as shown in Figure 5. The ordering of accesses within a burst is determined by
the burst length, burst type, and the starting column address as shown in Table 1. The burst length is
defined by bits A0-A1. Burst length options include fixed BC4, fixed BL8 and ‘on the fly’ which allows
BC4 or BL8 to be selected coincident with the registration of a Read or Write command via A12/BC#.

Notes:
1. In case of burst length being fixed to 4 by MR0 setting, the internal write operation starts two clock cycles earlier than for the
BL8 mode. This means that the starting point for tWR and tWTR will be pulled in by two clocks. In case of burst length being
selected on-the-fly via A12/BC#, the internal write operation starts at the same point in time like a burst of 8 write operation.
This means that during on-the-fly control, the starting point for tWR and tWTR will not be pulled in by two clocks.
2. 0...7 bit number is value of CA[2:0] that causes this bit to be the first read during a burst.
3. T: Output driver for data and strobes are in high impedance.
4. V: a valid logic level (0 or 1), but respective buffer input ignores level on input pins.
5. X: Don't Care.
8.3.1.2 CAS Latency
The CAS Latency is defined by MR0 (bits A2, A4, A5 and A6) as shown in Figure 5. CAS Latency is
the delay, in clock cycles, between the internal Read command and the availability of the first bit of
output data. DDR3L SDRAM does not support any half-clock latencies. The overall Read Latency (RL)
is defined as Additive Latency (AL) + CAS Latency (CL); RL = AL + CL. For more information on the
supported CL and AL settings based on the operating clock frequency, refer to section 10.15 “Speed
Bins” on page 133. For detailed Read operation refer to section 8.13 “READ Operation” on page 43.

8.3.1.3 Test Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by MR0 (bit A7 = 0) and all other bits set to the desired values
shown in Figure 5. Programming bit A7 to a ‘1’ places the DDR3L SDRAM into a test mode that is only
used by the DRAM Manufacturer and should NOT be used. No operations or functionality is specified
if A7 = 1.
8.3.1.4 DLL Reset
The DLL Reset bit is self-clearing, meaning that it returns back to the value of ‘0’ after the DLL reset
function has been issued. Once the DLL is enabled, a subsequent DLL Reset should be applied. Any
time that the DLL reset function is used, tDLLK must be met before any functions that require the DLL
can be used (i.e., Read commands or ODT synchronous operations).
8.3.1.5 Write Recovery
The programmed WR value MR0 (bits A9, A10 and A11) is used for the auto precharge feature along
with tRP to determine tDAL. WR (write recovery for auto-precharge) min in clock cycles is calculated by
dividing tWR (in nS) by tCK(avg) (in nS) and rounding up to the next integer: WRmin[cycles] =
Roundup(tWR[nS]/tCK(avg)[nS]). The WR must be programmed to be equal to or larger than tWR(min).
8.3.1.6 Precharge PD DLL
MR0 (bit A12) is used to select the DLL usage during precharge power down mode. When MR0 (A12
= 0), or ‘slow-exit’, the DLL is frozen after entering precharge power down (for potential power savings)
and upon exit requires tXPDLL to be met prior to the next valid command. When MR0 (A12 = 1), or
‘fast-exit’, the DLL is maintained after entering precharge power down and upon exiting power down
requires tXP to be met prior to the next valid command.

Figure 6 – MR1 Definition
8.3.2.1 DLL Enable/Disable
The DLL must be enabled for normal operation. DLL enable is required during power up initialization,
and upon returning to normal operation after having the DLL disabled. During normal operation (DLL-on)
with MR1 (A0 = 0), the DLL is automatically disabled when entering Self Refresh operation and is
automatically re-enabled upon exit of Self Refresh operation. Any time the DLL is enabled and
subsequently reset, tDLLK clock cycles must occur before a Read or synchronous ODT command can be
issued to allow time for the internal clock to be synchronized with the external clock. Failing to wait for
synchronization to occur may result in a violation of the tDQSCK, tAON or tAOF parameters. During tDLLK,
CKE must continuously be registered high. DDR3L SDRAM does not require DLL for any Write
operation, except when Rtt_WR is enabled and the DLL is required for proper ODT operation. For more
detailed information on DLL Disable operation refer to section 8.6 “DLL-off Mode” on page 25.
The direct ODT feature is not supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must be
disabled by continuously registering the ODT pin low and/or by programming the Rtt_Nom bits
MR1{A9,A6,A2} to {0,0,0} via a mode register set command during DLL-off mode.
Publication Release Date: Jan. 20, 2015
Revision: A06

W632GU6KB
The dynamic ODT feature is not supported at DLL-off mode. User must use MRS command to set
Rtt_WR, MR2 {A10, A9} = {0,0}, to disable Dynamic ODT externally.
8.3.2.2 Output Driver Impedance Control
The output driver impedance of the DDR3L SDRAM device is selected by MR1 (bits A1 and A5) as
shown in Figure 6.
8.3.2.3 ODT RTT Values
DDR3L SDRAM is capable of providing two different termination values (Rtt_Nom and Rtt_WR). The
nominal termination value Rtt_Nom is programmed in MR1. A separate value (Rtt_WR) may be
programmed in MR2 to enable a unique RTT value when ODT is enabled during writes. The Rtt_WR
value can be applied during writes even when Rtt_Nom is disabled.
8.3.2.4 Additive Latency (AL)
Additive Latency (AL) operation is supported to make command and data bus efficient for sustainable
bandwidths in DDR3L SDRAM. In this operation, the DDR3L SDRAM allows a read or write command
(either with or without auto-precharge) to be issued immediately after the active command. The
command is held for the time of the Additive Latency (AL) before it is issued inside the device. The
Read Latency (RL) is controlled by the sum of the AL and CAS Latency (CL) register settings. Write
Latency (WL) is controlled by the sum of the AL and CAS Write Latency (CWL) register settings. A
summary of the AL register options are shown in Table 2.

Note:

8.3.2.5 Write leveling
For better signal integrity, DDR3L memory module adopted fly-by topology for the commands,
addresses, control signals, and clocks. The fly-by topology has the benefit of reducing the number of
stubs and their length, but it also causes flight time skew between clock and strobe at every DRAM on
the DIMM. This makes it difficult for the controller to maintain tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specification.
Therefore, the DDR3L SDRAM supports a ‘write leveling’ feature to allow the controller to compensate
for skew. See section 8.9 “Write Leveling” on page 30 for more details.
8.3.2.6 Output Disable
The DDR3L SDRAM outputs may be enabled/disabled by MR1 (bit A12) as shown in Figure 6. When
this feature is enabled (A12 = 1), all output pins (DQs, DQS, DQS#, etc.) are disconnected from the
device, thus removing any loading of the output drivers. This feature may be useful when measuring
module power, for example. For normal operation, A12 should be set to ‘0’.

8.3.3.1 Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR)
If PASR (Partial Array Self Refresh) is enabled, data located in areas of the array beyond the specified
address range shown in Figure 7 will be lost if Self Refresh is entered. Data integrity will be
maintained if tREFI conditions are met and no Self Refresh command is issued.
8.3.3.2 CAS Write Latency (CWL)
The CAS Write Latency is defined by MR2 (bits A3-A5), as shown in Figure 7. CAS Write Latency is
the delay, in clock cycles, between the internal Write command and the availability of the first bit of
input data.
DDR3L SDRAM does not support any half-clock latencies. The overall Write Latency (WL) is defined
as Additive Latency (AL) + CAS Write Latency (CWL); WL = AL + CWL. For more information on the
supported CWL and AL settings based on the operating clock frequency, refer to section 10.15
“Speed Bins” on page 133. For detailed Write operation refer to section 8.14 “WRITE Operation” on
page 56.
8.3.3.3 Auto Self Refresh (ASR) and Self Refresh Temperature (SRT)
DDR3L SDRAM must support Self Refresh operation at all supported temperatures. Applications
requiring Self Refresh operation in the Extended Temperature Range must use the ASR function or
program the SRT bit appropriately.
When ASR enabled, DDR3L SDRAM automatically provides Self Refresh power management
functions for all supported operating temperature values. If not enabled, the SRT bit must be
programmed to indicate TOPER during subsequent Self Refresh operation.
ASR = 0, Self Refresh rate is determined by SRT bit A7 in MR2.
ASR = 1, Self Refresh rate is determined by on-die thermal sensor. SRT bit A7 in MR2 is don't care.
8.3.3.4 Dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR)
DDR3L SDRAM introduces a new feature “Dynamic ODT”. In certain application cases and to further
enhance signal integrity on the data bus, it is desirable that the termination strength of the DDR3L
SDRAM can be changed without issuing an MRS command. MR2 Register locations A9 and A10
configure the Dynamic ODT settings. In Write leveling mode, only Rtt_Nom is available. For details on
Dynamic ODT operation, refer to section 8.19.3 “Dynamic ODT” on page 83.

8.3.4.1 Multi Purpose Register (MPR)
The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration
bit sequence. To enable the MPR, a MODE Register Set (MRS) command must be issued to MR3
Register with bit A2 = 1. Prior to issuing the MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all
banks precharged and tRP met). Once the MPR is enabled, any subsequent RD or RDA commands
will be redirected to the Multi Purpose Register. When the MPR is enabled, only RD or RDA
commands are allowed until a subsequent MRS command is issued with the MPR disabled (MR3 bit
A2 = 0). Power Down mode, Self Refresh, and any other non-RD/RDA command is not allowed during
MPR enable mode. The RESET function is supported during MPR enable mode. For detailed MPR
operation refer to section 8.10 “Multi Purpose Register” on page 34.

8.4 No OPeration (NOP) Command
The No OPeration (NOP) command is used to instruct the selected DDR3L SDRAM to perform a NOP
(CS# LOW and RAS#, CAS#, and WE# HIGH). This prevents unwanted commands from being
registered during idle or wait states. Operations already in progress are not affected.
8.5 Deselect Command
The DESELECT function (CS# HIGH) prevents new commands from being executed by the DDR3L
SDRAM. The DDR3L SDRAM is effectively deselected. Operations already in progress are not
affected.
8.6 DLL-off Mode
DDR3L DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent
operations until A0 bit is set back to “0”. The MR1 A0 bit for DLL control can be switched either during
initialization or later. Refer to section 8.8 “Input clock frequency change” on page 28.
The DLL-off Mode operations listed below are an optional feature for DDR3L. The maximum clock
frequency for DLL-off Mode is specified by the parameter tCK(DLL_OFF). There is no minimum
frequency limit besides the need to satisfy the refresh interval, tREFI.
Due to latency counter and timing restrictions, only one value of CAS Latency (CL) in MR0 and CAS
Write Latency (CWL) in MR2 are supported. The DLL-off mode is only required to support setting of
both CL=6 and CWL=6.
DLL-off mode will affect the Read data Clock to Data Strobe relationship (tDQSCK), but not the Data
Strobe to Data relationship (tDQSQ, tQH). Special attention is needed to line up Read data to controller
time domain.
Comparing with DLL-on mode, where tDQSCK starts from the rising clock edge (AL+CL) cycles after
the Read command, the DLL-off mode tDQSCK starts (AL+CL - 1) cycles after the read command.
Another difference is that tDQSCK may not be small compared to tCK (it might even be larger than tCK)
and the difference between tDQSCK min and tDQSCK max is significantly larger than in DLL-on mode.
The timing relations on DLL-off mode READ operation is shown in the following Timing Diagram

8.7 DLL on/off switching procedure
DDR3L DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent
operations until A0 bit is set back to “0”.
8.7.1 DLL “on” to DLL “off” Procedure
To switch from DLL “on” to DLL “off” requires the frequency to be changed during Self-Refresh, as
outlined in the following procedure:
1. Starting from Idle state (All banks pre-charged, all timings fulfilled, and DRAMs On-die Termination
resistors, RTT, must be in high impedance state before MRS to MR1 to disable the DLL.)
2. Set MR1 bit A0 to “1” to disable the DLL.
3. Wait tMOD.
4. Enter Self Refresh Mode; wait until (tCKSRE) is satisfied.
5. Change frequency, in guidance with section 8.8 “Input clock frequency change” on page 28.
6. Wait until a stable clock is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
7. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until all
tMOD timings from any MRS command are satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled
in the mode registers when Self Refresh mode was entered, the ODT signal must continuously be
registered LOW until all tMOD timings from any MRS command are satisfied. If both ODT features
were disabled in the mode registers when Self Refresh mode was entered, ODT signal can be
registered LOW or HIGH.
8. Wait tXS, then set Mode Registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL and
WR may be necessary. A ZQCL command may also be issued after tXS).
9. Wait for tMOD, then DRAM is ready for next command.

8.7.2 DLL “off” to DLL “on” Procedure
To switch from DLL “off” to DLL “on” (with required frequency change) during Self-Refresh:
1. Starting from Idle state (All banks pre-charged, all timings fulfilled and DRAMs On-die Termination
resistors (RTT) must be in high impedance state before Self-Refresh mode is entered.)
2. Enter Self Refresh Mode, wait until tCKSRE satisfied.
3. Change frequency, in guidance with section 8.8 “Input clock frequency change” on page 28.
4. Wait until a stable clock is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
5. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until
tDLLK timing from subsequent DLL Reset command is satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features
were enabled in the mode registers when Self Refresh mode was entered, the ODT signal must
continuously be registered LOW until tDLLK timings from subsequent DLL Reset command is
satisfied. If both ODT features are disabled in the mode registers when Self Refresh mode was
entered, ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
6. Wait tXS, then set MR1 bit A0 to “0” to enable the DLL.
7. Wait tMRD, then set MR0 bit A8 to “1” to start DLL Reset.
8. Wait tMRD, then set Mode Registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL and
WR may be necessary. After tMOD satisfied from any proceeding MRS command, a ZQCL
command may also be issued during or after tDLLK.)
9. Wait for tMOD, then DRAM is ready for next command (Remember to wait tDLLK after DLL Reset
before applying command requiring a locked DLL!). In addition, wait also for tZQoper in case a
ZQCL command was issued.

8.8 Input clock frequency change
Once the DDR3L SDRAM is initialized, the DDR3L SDRAM requires the clock to be “stable” during
almost all states of normal operation. This means that, once the clock frequency has been set and is
to be in the “stable state”, the clock period is not allowed to deviate except for what is allowed for by
the clock jitter and SSC (spread spectrum clocking) specifications.
The input clock frequency can be changed from one stable clock rate to another stable clock rate
under two conditions: (1) Self-Refresh mode and (2) Precharge Power-down mode. Outside of these
two modes, it is illegal to change the clock frequency.
8.8.1 Frequency change during Self-Refresh
For the first condition, once the DDR3L SDRAM has been successfully placed in to Self-Refresh mode
and tCKSRE has been satisfied, the state of the clock becomes a don't care. Once a don't care,
changing the clock frequency is permissible, provided the new clock frequency is stable prior to
tCKSRX. When entering and exiting Self-Refresh mode for the sole purpose of changing the clock
frequency, the Self-Refresh entry and exit specifications must still be met as outlined in see section
8.16 “Self-Refresh Operation” on page 67.
The DDR3L SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the minimum and
maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade. Any frequency change below
the minimum operating frequency would require the use of DLL_on mode -> DLL_off mode transition
sequence; refer to section 8.7 “DLL on/off switching procedure” on page 26.
8.8.2 Frequency change during Precharge Power-down
The second condition is when the DDR3L SDRAM is in Precharge Power-down mode (either fast exit
mode or slow exit mode). If the Rtt_Nom feature was enabled in the mode register prior to entering
Precharge power down mode, the ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW ensuring RTT is
in an off state. If the Rtt_Nom feature was disabled in the mode register prior to entering Precharge
power down mode, RTT will remain in the off state. The ODT signal can be registered either LOW or
HIGH in this case. A minimum of tCKSRE must occur after CKE goes LOW before the clock frequency
may change. The DDR3L SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the minimum
and maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade. During the input clock
frequency change, ODT and CKE must be held at stable LOW levels. Once the input clock frequency
is changed, stable new clocks must be provided to the DRAM tCKSRX before Precharge Power-down
may be exited; after Precharge Power-down is exited and tXP has expired, the DLL must be RESET
via MRS. Depending on the new clock frequency, additional MRS commands may need to be issued
to appropriately set the WR, CL, and CWL with CKE continuously registered high. During DLL re-lock
period, ODT must remain LOW and CKE must remain HIGH. After the DLL lock time, the DRAM is
ready to operate with new clock frequency. This process is depicted in Figure 12 on page 29.

the mode register prior to entering Precharge power down mode, RTT will remain in the off state. The ODT signal can be

8.9 Write Leveling
For better signal integrity, the DDR3L memory module adopted fly-by topology for the commands,
addresses, control signals, and clocks. The fly-by topology has benefits from reducing number of
stubs and their length, but it also causes flight time skew between clock and strobe at every DRAM on
the DIMM. This makes it difficult for the Controller to maintain tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specification.
Therefore, the DDR3L SDRAM supports a ‘write leveling’ feature to allow the controller to compensate
for skew.
The memory controller can use the ‘write leveling’ feature and feedback from the DDR3L SDRAM to
adjust the DQS - DQS# to CK - CK# relationship. The memory controller involved in the leveling must
have adjustable delay setting on DQS - DQS# to align the rising edge of DQS - DQS# with that of the
clock at the DRAM pin. The DRAM asynchronously feeds back CK - CK#, sampled with the rising
edge of DQS - DQS#, through the DQ bus. The controller repeatedly delays DQS - DQS# until a
transition from 0 to 1 is detected. The DQS - DQS# delay established though this exercise would
ensure tDQSS specification.
Besides tDQSS, tDSS and tDSH specification also needs to be fulfilled. One way to achieve this is to
combine the actual tDQSS in the application with an appropriate duty cycle and jitter on the DQS -
DQS# signals. Depending on the actual tDQSS in the application, the actual values for tDQSL and tDQSH
may have to be better than the absolute limits provided in section 10.16 “AC Characteristics” in
order to satisfy tDSS and tDSH specification. A conceptual timing of this scheme is shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13 – Write Leveling Concept
DQS - DQS# driven by the controller during leveling mode must be terminated by the DRAM based on
ranks populated. Similarly, the DQ bus driven by the DRAM must also be terminated at the controller.
One or more data bits should carry the leveling feedback to the controller across the DRAM
configurations x4, x8 and x16. On a x16 device, both byte lanes should be leveled independently.
Therefore, a separate feedback mechanism should be available for each byte lane. The upper data
bits should provide the feedback of the upper Diff_DQS(Diff_UDQS) to clock relationship whereas the
lower data bits would indicate the lower Diff_DQS(Diff_LDQS) to clock relationship.

8.9.1 DRAM setting for write leveling & DRAM termination function in that mode
DRAM enters into Write leveling mode if A7 in MR1 set ‘High’ and after finishing leveling, DRAM exits
from write leveling mode if A7 in MR1 set ‘Low’ (Table 3). Note that in write leveling mode, only
DQS/DQS# terminations are activated and deactivated via ODT pin, unlike normal operation (Table 4).

Note:
In Write Leveling Mode with its output buffer disabled (MR1 A[7] = 1 with MR1 A[12] = 1) all Rtt_Nom settings are allowed; in
Write Leveling Mode with its output buffer enabled (MR1 A[7] = 1 with MR1 A[12] = 0) only Rtt_Nom settings of RZQ/2, RZQ/4
and RZQ/6 are allowed.
8.9.2 Write Leveling Procedure
The Memory controller initiates Leveling mode of all DRAMs by setting bit 7 of MR1 to 1. When
entering write leveling mode, the DQ pins are in undefined driving mode. During write leveling mode,
only NOP or DESELECT commands are allowed, as well as an MRS command to change Qoff bit
(MR1[A12]) and an MRS command to exit write leveling (MR1[A7]). Upon exiting write leveling mode,
the MRS command performing the exit (MR1[A7]=0) may also change MR1 bits of A12, A9, A6-A5,
and A2-A1. Since the controller levels one rank at a time, the output of other ranks must be disabled
by setting MR1 bit A12 to 1. The Controller may assert ODT after tMOD, at which time the DRAM is
ready to accept the ODT signal.
The Controller may drive DQS low and DQS# high after a delay of tWLDQSEN, at which time the DRAM
has applied on-die termination on these signals. After tDQSL and tWLMRD, the controller provides a
single DQS, DQS# edge which is used by the DRAM to sample CK - CK# driven from controller.
tWLMRD(max) timing is controller dependent.
DRAM samples CK - CK# status with rising edge of DQS - DQS# and provides feedback on all the DQ
bits asynchronously after tWLO timing. Either one or all data bits ("prime DQ bit(s)") provide the leveling
feedback. The DRAM's remaining DQ bits are driven Low statically after the first sampling procedure.
There is a DQ output uncertainty of tWLOE defined to allow mismatch on DQ bits. The tWLOE period is
defined from the transition of the earliest DQ bit to the corresponding transition of the latest DQ bit.
There are no read strobes (DQS/DQS#) needed for these DQs. Controller samples incoming DQ and
decides to increment or decrement DQS - DQS# delay setting and launches the next DQS/DQS#
pulse after some time, which is controller dependent. Once a 0 to 1 transition is detected, the
controller locks DQS - DQS# delay setting and write leveling is achieved for the device. Figure 14
describes the timing diagram and parameters for the overall Write Leveling procedure.

8.9.3 Write Leveling Mode Exit
The following sequence describes how the Write Leveling Mode should be exited:
1. After the last rising strobe edge (see ~T0), stop driving the strobe signals (see ~Tc0). Note: From
now on, DQ pins are in undefined driving mode, and will remain undefined, until tMOD after the
respective MR command (Te1).
2. Drive ODT pin low (tIS must be satisfied) and continue registering low. (see Tb0).
3. After the RTT is switched off, disable Write Level Mode via MRS command (see Tc2).
4. After tMOD is satisfied (Te1), any valid command may be registered. (MR commands may be
issued after tMRD (Td1).

8.10 Multi Purpose Register
The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration
bit sequence. The basic concept of the MPR is shown in Figure 16.
Memory Core
(all banks precharged)
MR3 [A2]
Multipurpose register
Pre-defined data for Reads
DQ, DM, DQS, DQS#
Figure 16 – MPR Block Diagram
To enable the MPR, a Mode Register Set (MRS) command must be issued to MR3 Register with bit
A2 = 1, as shown in Table 5. Prior to issuing the MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all
banks precharged and tRP met). Once the MPR is enabled, any subsequent RD or RDA commands
will be redirected to the Multi Purpose Register. The resulting operation, when a RD or RDA command
is issued, is defined by MR3 bits A[1:0] when the MPR is enabled as shown in Table 6. When the
MPR is enabled, only RD or RDA commands are allowed until a subsequent MRS command is issued
with the MPR disabled (MR3 bit A2 = 0). Note that in MPR mode RDA has the same functionality as a
READ command which means the auto precharge part of RDA is ignored. Power-Down mode, Self-
Refresh, and any other non-RD/RDA command is not allowed during MPR enable mode. The RESET
function is supported during MPR enable mode.

8.10.1 MPR Functional Description
One bit wide logical interface via all DQ pins during READ operation.
Register Read:
— DQL[0] and DQU[0] drive information from MPR
— DQL[7:1] and DQU[7:1] either drive the same information as DQL[0], or they drive 0b
Addressing during for Multi Purpose Register reads for all MPR agents:
— BA[2:0]: Don't care
— A[1:0]: A[1:0] must be equal to ‘00’b. Data read burst order in nibble is fixed
— A[2]: A[2] selects the burst order
For BL=8, A[2] must be equal to 0b, burst order is fixed to [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7], *)
For Burst Chop 4 cases, the burst order is switched on nibble base
A[2]=0b, Burst order: 0,1,2,3 *)
A[2]=1b, Burst order: 4,5,6,7 *)
— A[9:3]: Don't care
— A10/AP: Don't care
— A12/BC#: Selects burst chop mode on-the-fly, if enabled within MR0
— A11 and A13: Don't care
Regular interface functionality during register reads:
— Support two Burst Ordering which are switched with A2 and A[1:0]=00b
— Support of read burst chop (MRS and on-the-fly via A12/BC#)
— All other address bits (remaining column address bits including A10, all bank address bits) will
be ignored by the DDR3L SDRAM
— Regular read latencies and AC timings apply
— DLL must be locked prior to MPR Reads
Note: *) Burst order bit 0 is assigned to LSB and burst order bit 7 is assigned to MSB of the selected MPR agent.

8.10.3 Relevant Timing Parameters
The following AC timing parameters are important for operating the Multi Purpose Register: tRP, tMRD,
tMOD, and tMPRR. For more details refer to section 10.16 “AC Characteristics” on page 137.
8.10.4 Protocol Example
Protocol Example (This is one example):
Read out pre-determined read-calibration pattern.
Description: Multiple reads from Multi Purpose Register, in order to do system level read timing
calibration based on pre-determined and standardized pattern.
Protocol Steps:
Precharge All.
Wait until tRP is satisfied.
Set MRS, “MR3 A[2] = 1b” and “MR3 A[1:0] = 00b”.
This redirects all subsequent reads and load pre-defined pattern into Multi Purpose Register.
Wait until tMRD and tMOD are satisfied (Multi Purpose Register is then ready to be read). During the
period MR3 A[2] =1, no data write operation is allowed.
Publication Release Date: Jan. 20, 2015
Revision: A06

W632GU6KB
Read:
A[1:0] = ‘00’b (Data burst order is fixed starting at nibble, always 00b here)
A[2] = ‘0’b (For BL=8, burst order is fixed as 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
A12/BC# = 1 (use regular burst length of 8)
All other address pins (including BA[2:0] and A10/AP): don't care
After RL = AL + CL, DRAM bursts out the pre-defined Read Calibration Pattern.
Memory controller repeats these calibration reads until read data capture at memory controller is
optimized.
After end of last MPR read burst, wait until tMPRR is satisfied.
Set MRS, “MR3 A[2] = 0b” and “MR3 A[1:0] = don't care” to the normal DRAM state.
All subsequent read and write accesses will be regular reads and writes from/to the DRAM array.
Wait until tMRD and tMOD are satisfied.
Continue with “regular” DRAM commands, like activate a memory bank for regular read or write
access,...

8.11 ACTIVE Command
The ACTIVE command is used to open (or activate) a row in a particular bank for a subsequent
access. The value on the BA0-BA2 inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A0-
A13 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.
8.12 PRECHARGE Command
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 activation a specified time (tRP) after
the PRECHARGE command is issued, except in the case of concurrent auto precharge, where a
READ or WRITE command to a different bank is allowed as long as it does not interrupt the data
transfer in the current bank and does not violate any other timing parameters. 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. A PRECHARGE command is allowed if there is no open row in that bank (idle
state) or if the previously open row is already in the process of precharging. However, the precharge
period will be determined by the last PRECHARGE command issued to the bank.

8.13 READ Operation
8.13.1 READ Burst Operation
During a READ or WRITE command, DDR3L will support BC4 and BL8 on the fly using address A12
during the READ or WRITE (AUTO PRECHARGE can be enabled or disabled).
A12 = 0, BC4 (BC4 = burst chop, tCCD = 4)
A12 = 1, BL8
A12 is used only for burst length control, not as a column address.

Notes:
1. Within a burst, rising strobe edge is not necessarily fixed to be always at tDQSCK(min) or tDQSCK(max). Instead, rising strobe
edge can vary between tDQSCK(min) and tDQSCK(max).
2. Not with standing note 1, a rising strobe edge with tDQSCK(max) at T(n) can not be immediately followed by a rising strobe
edge with tDQSCK(min) at T(n+1). This is because other timing relationships (tQSH, tQSL) exist:
if tDQSCK(n+1) < 0:
tDQSCK(n) < 1.0 tCK - (tQSHmin + tQSLmin) - | tDQSCK(n+1) |
3. The DQS, DQS# differential output high time is defined by tQSH and the DQS, DQS# differential output low time is defined by
tQSL.
4. Likewise, tLZ(DQS)min and tHZ(DQS)min are not tied to tDQSCK,min (early strobe case) and tLZ(DQS)max and tHZ(DQS)max
are not tied to tDQSCK,max (late strobe case).
5. The minimum pulse width of read preamble is defined by tRPRE(min).
6. The maximum read postamble is bound by tDQSCK(min) plus tQSH(min) on the left side and tHZDSQ(max) on the right side.
7. The minimum pulse width of read postamble is defined by tRPST(min).
8. The maximum read preamble is bound by tLZDQS(min) on the left side and tDQSCK(max) on the right side.

8.13.2.3 tLZ(DQS), tLZ(DQ), tHZ(DQS), tHZ(DQ) Calculation
tHZ and tLZ transitions occur in the same time window as valid data transitions. These parameters are
referenced to a specific voltage level that specifies when the device output is no longer driving tHZ(DQS)
and tHZ(DQ), or begins driving tLZ(DQS), tLZ(DQ). Figure 26 shows a method to calculate the point when
the device is no longer driving tHZ(DQS) and tHZ(DQ), or begins driving tLZ(DQS), tLZ(DQ), by measuring
the signal at two different voltages. The actual voltage measurement points are not critical as long as
the calculation is consistent. The parameters tLZ(DQS), tLZ(DQ), tHZ(DQS), and tHZ(DQ) are defined as
singled ended.

8.13.2.6 Burst Read Operation followed by a Precharge
The minimum external Read command to Precharge command spacing to the same bank is equal to AL + tRTP with tRTP being the Internal Read
Command to Precharge Command Delay. Note that the minimum ACT to PRE timing, tRAS.MIN must be satisfied as well. The minimum value for the
Internal Read Command to Precharge Command Delay is given by tRTP.MIN = max(4 × nCK, 7.5 nS). A new bank active command may be issued to the
same bank if the following two conditions are satisfied simultaneously:
1. The minimum RAS precharge time (tRP.MIN) has been satisfied from the clock at which the precharge begins.
2. The minimum RAS cycle time (tRC.MIN) from the previous bank activation has been satisfied.
Examples of Read commands followed by Precharge are show in Figure 38 and Figure 39.

8.14 WRITE Operation
8.14.1 DDR3L Burst Operation
During a READ or WRITE command, DDR3L will support BC4 and BL8 on the fly using address A12
during the READ or WRITE (AUTO PRECHARGE can be enabled or disabled).
A12 = 0, BC4 (BC4 = burst chop, tCCD = 4)
A12 = 1, BL8
A12 is used only for burst length control, not as a column address.
8.14.2 WRITE Timing Violations
8.14.2.1 Motivation
Generally, if timing parameters are violated, a complete reset/initialization procedure has to be
initiated to make sure that the DRAM works properly. However, it is desirable; for certain minor
violations, that the DRAM is guaranteed not to “hang up”, and that errors are limited to that particular
operation.
For the following, it will be assumed that there are no timing violations with regards to the Write
command itself (including ODT, etc.) and that it does satisfy all timing requirements not mentioned
below.
8.14.2.2 Data Setup and Hold Violations
Should the data to strobe timing requirements (tDS, tDH) be violated, for any of the strobe edges
associated with a write burst, and then wrong data might be written to the memory location addressed
with this WRITE command.
In the example (Figure 40 on page 57), the relevant strobe edges for write burst A are associated with
the clock edges: T5, T5.5, T6, T6.5, T7, T7.5, T8, T8.5.
Subsequent reads from that location might result in unpredictable read data, however the DRAM will
work properly otherwise.
8.14.2.3 Strobe to Strobe and Strobe to Clock Violations
Should the strobe timing requirements (tDQSH, tDQSL, tWPRE, tWPST) or the strobe to clock timing
requirements (tDSS, tDSH, tDQSS) be violated, for any of the strobe edges associated with a Write burst,
then wrong data might be written to the memory location addressed with the offending WRITE
command. Subsequent reads from that location might result in unpredictable read data, however the
DRAM will work properly otherwise.
In the example (Figure 48 on page 61) the relevant strobe edges for Write burst n are associated with
the clock edges: T4, T4.5, T5, T5.5, T6, T6.5, T7, T7.5, T8, T8.5 and T9. Any timing requirements
starting or ending on one of these strobe edges need to be fulfilled for a valid burst. For Write burst b
the relevant edges are T8, T8.5, T9, T9.5, T10, T10.5, T11, T11.5, T12, T12.5 and T13. Some edges
are associated withboth bursts.
8.14.2.4 Write Timing Parameters
This drawing is for example only to enumerate the strobe edges that “belong” to a Write burst. No
actual timing violations are shown here. For a valid burst all timing parameters for each edge of a
burst need to be satisfied (not only for one edge - as shown).

8.14.3 Write Data Mask
One write data mask (DM) pin for each 8 data bits (DQ) will be supported on DDR3L SDRAMs,
consistent with the implementation on DDR2 SDRAMs. It has identical timings on write operations as
the data bits as shown in Figure 40, and though used in a unidirectional manner, is internally loaded
identically to data bits to ensure matched system timing. DM is not used during read cycles.

8.15 Refresh Command
The Refresh command (REF) is used during normal operation of the DDR3L SDRAMs. This command
is non persistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The DDR3L SDRAM requires
Refresh cycles at an average periodic interval of tREFI. When CS#, RAS# and CAS# are held Low and
WE# High at the rising edge of the clock, the chip enters a Refresh cycle. All banks of the SDRAM
must be precharged and idle for a minimum of the precharge time tRP(min) before the Refresh
Command can be applied. The refresh addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This
makes the address bits “Don't Care” during a Refresh command. An internal address counter supplies
the addresses during the refresh cycle. No control of the external address bus is required once this
cycle has started. When the refresh cycle has completed, all banks of the SDRAM will be in the
precharged (idle) state. A delay between the Refresh Command and the next valid command, except
NOP or DES, must be greater than or equal to the minimum Refresh cycle time tRFC(min) as shown in
Figure 55. Note that the tRFC timing parameter depends on memory density.
In general, a Refresh command needs to be issued to the DDR3L SDRAM regularly every tREFI
interval. To allow for improved efficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexibility in
the absolute refresh interval is provided. A maximum of 8 Refresh commands can be postponed
during operation of the DDR3L SDRAM, meaning that at no point in time more than a total of 8
Refresh commands are allowed to be postponed. In case that 8 Refresh commands are postponed in
a row, the resulting maximum interval between the surrounding Refresh commands is limited to 9 ×
tREFI (see Figure 56). A maximum of 8 additional Refresh commands can be issued in advance
(“pulled in”), with each one reducing the number of regular Refresh commands required later by one.
Note that pulling in more than 8 Refresh commands in advance does not further reduce the number of
regular Refresh commands required later, so that the resulting maximum interval between two
surrounding Refresh commands is limited to 9 × tREFI (see Figure 57). At any given time, a maximum
of 16 REF commands can be issued within 2 x tREFI. Self-Refresh Mode may be entered with a
maximum of eight Refresh commands being postponed. After exiting Self-Refresh Mode with one or
more Refresh commands postponed, additional Refresh commands may be postponed to the extent
that the total number of postponed Refresh commands (before and after the Self-Refresh) will never
exceed eight. During Self-Refresh Mode, the number of postponed or pulled-in REF commands does
not change.

8.16 Self-Refresh Operation
The Self-Refresh command can be used to retain data in the DDR3L SDRAM, even if the rest of the
system is powered down. When in the Self-Refresh mode, the DDR3L SDRAM retains data without
external clocking. The DDR3L SDRAM device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self-Refresh
operation. The Self-Refresh-Entry (SRE) Command is defined by having CS#, RAS#, CAS#, and CKE
held low with WE# high at the rising edge of the clock.
Before issuing the Self-Refresh-Entry command, the DDR3L SDRAM must be idle with all bank
precharge state with tRP satisfied. ‘Idle state’ is defined as all banks are closed (tRP, tDAL, etc.
satisfied), no data bursts are in progress, CKE is high, and all timings from previous operations are
satisfied (tMRD, tMOD, tRFC, tZQinit, tZQoper, tZQCS, etc.) Also, on-die termination must be turned off
before issuing Self-Refresh-Entry command, by either registering ODT pin low “ODTL + 0.5tCK” prior
to the Self-Refresh Entry command or using MRS to MR1 command. Once the Self-Refresh Entry
command is registered, CKE must be held low to keep the device in Self-Refresh mode. During
normal operation (DLL on), MR1 (A0 = 0), the DLL is automatically disabled upon entering Self-
Refresh and is automatically enabled (including a DLL-Reset) upon exiting Self-Refresh.
When the DDR3L SDRAM has entered Self-Refresh mode, all of the external control signals, except
CKE and RESET#, are “don't care.” For proper Self-Refresh operation, all power supply and reference
pins (VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ, VREFCA and VREFDQ) must be at valid levels. VREFDQ supply may be
turned OFF and VREFDQ may take any value between VSS and VDD during Self Refresh operation,
provided that VREFDQ is valid and stable prior to CKE going back High and that first Write operation or
first Write Leveling Activity may not occur earlier than 512 nCK after exit from Self Refresh. The
DRAM initiates a minimum of one Refresh command internally within tCKE period once it enters Self-
Refresh mode.
The clock is internally disabled during Self-Refresh Operation to save power. The minimum time that
the DDR3L SDRAM must remain in Self-Refresh mode is tCKESR. The user may change the external
clock frequency or halt the external clock tCKSRE after Self-Refresh entry is registered, however, the
clock must be restarted and stable tCKSRX before the device can exit Self-Refresh operation.
The procedure for exiting Self-Refresh requires a sequence of events. First, the clock must be stable
prior to CKE going back HIGH. Once a Self-Refresh Exit command (SRX, combination of CKE going
high and either NOP or Deselect on command bus) is registered, a delay of at least tXS must be
satisfied before a valid command not requiring a locked DLL can be issued to the device to allow for
any internal refresh in progress. Before a command that requires a locked DLL can be applied, a delay
of at least tXSDLL must be satisfied.
Depending on the system environment and the amount of time spent in Self-Refresh, ZQ calibration
commands may be required to compensate for the voltage and temperature drift as described in
section 8.18 “ZQ Calibration Commands” on page 77. To issue ZQ calibration commands,
applicable timing requirements must be satisfied (See Figure 72 - “ZQ Calibration Timing” on page
78).
CKE must remain HIGH for the entire Self-Refresh exit period tXSDLL for proper operation except for
Self-Refresh re-entry. Upon exit from Self-Refresh, the DDR3L SDRAM can be put back into Self-
Refresh mode after waiting at least tXS period and issuing one refresh command (refresh period of
tRFC). NOP or deselect commands must be registered on each positive clock edge during the Self-
Refresh exit interval tXS. ODT must be turned off during tXSDLL.

W632GU6KB
The use of Self-Refresh mode introduces the possibility that an internally timed refresh event can be
missed when CKE is raised for exit from Self-Refresh mode. Upon exit from Self-Refresh, the DDR3L
SDRAM requires a minimum of one extra refresh command before it is put back into Self-Refresh
Mode.

8.17 Power-Down Modes
8.17.1 Power-Down Entry and Exit
Power-down is synchronously entered when CKE is registered low (along with NOP or Deselect
command). CKE is not allowed to go low while mode register set command, MPR operations, ZQCAL
operations, DLL locking or read / write operation are in progress. CKE is allowed to go low while any
of other operations such as row activation, precharge or auto-precharge and refresh are in progress,
but power-down IDD spec will not be applied until finishing those operations. Timing diagrams are
shown in Figure 59 through Figure 71 with details for entry and exit of Power-Down.
The DLL should be in a locked state when power-down is entered for fastest power-down exit timing. If
the DLL is not locked during power-down entry, the DLL must be reset after exiting power-down mode
for proper read operation and synchronous ODT operation. DRAM design provides all AC and DC
timing and voltage specification as well as proper DLL operation with any CKE intensive operations as
long as DRAM controller complies with DRAM specifications.
During Power-Down, if all banks are closed after any in-progress commands are completed, the
device will be in precharge Power-Down mode; if any bank is open after in-progress commands are
completed, the device will be in active Power-Down mode.
Entering power-down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK#, ODT, CKE and
RESET#. To protect DRAM internal delay on CKE line to block the input signals, multiple NOP or
Deselect commands are needed during the CKE switch off and cycle(s) after, this timing period are
defined as tCPDED. CKE_low will result in deactivation of command and address receivers after tCPDED
has expired.

Also, the DLL is disabled upon entering precharge power-down (Slow Exit Mode), but the DLL is kept
enabled during precharge power-down (Fast Exit Mode) or active power-down. In power-down mode,
CKE low, RESET# high, and a stable clock signal must be maintained at the inputs of the DDR3L
SDRAM, and ODT should be in a valid state, but all other input signals are “Don't Care.” (If RESET#
goes low during Power-Down, the DRAM will be out of PD mode and into reset state.) CKE low must
be maintained until tCKE has been satisfied. Power-down duration is limited by 9 times tREFI of the
device.
The power-down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered high (along with a NOP or
Deselect command). CKE high must be maintained until tCKE has been satisfied. A valid, executable
command can be applied with power-down exit latency, tXP and/or tXPDLL after CKE goes high. Power-
down exit latency is defined in section 10.16 “AC Characteristics” on page 137.
Active Power Down Entry and Exit timing diagram example is shown in Figure 59. Timing Diagrams
for CKE with PD Entry, PD Exit with Read and Read with Auto Precharge, Write, Write with Auto
Precharge, Activate, Precharge, Refresh, and MRS are shown in Figure 60 through Figure 68.
Additional clarifications are shown in Figure 69 through Figure 71.

8.17.3 Power-Down clarifications - Case 2
For certain CKE intensive operations, for example, repeated ‘PD Exit - Refresh - PD Entry’ sequences,
the number of clock cycles between PD Exit and PD Entry may be insufficient to keep the DLL
updated. Therefore, the following conditions must be met in addition to tCKE in order to maintain
proper DRAM operation when the Refresh command is issued between PD Exit and PD Entry. Power-
down mode can be used in conjunction with the Refresh command if the following conditions are met:
1) tXP must be satisfied before issuing the command.
2) tXPDLL must be satisfied (referenced to the registration of PD Exit) before the next power-down can
be entered. A detailed example of Case 2 is shown in Figure 70.

8.18 ZQ Calibration Commands
8.18.1 ZQ Calibration Description
ZQ Calibration command is used to calibrate DRAM RON & ODT values over PVT (process, voltage
and temperature). An external resistor (RZQ) between the DRAM ZQ pin and ground is used as a
calibration reference. DDR3L SDRAM needs longer time to calibrate output driver and on-die
termination circuits after power-up and/or any reset, medium time for a full calibration during normal
operation (e.g. after self-refresh exit) and relatively smaller time to perform periodic update calibrations.
ZQCL (ZQ Calibration Long) command is used to perform the initial calibration during power-up
initialization sequence. This command may be issued at any time by the controller depending on the
system environment. ZQCL command triggers the calibration engine inside the DRAM and, once
calibration is achieved, the calibrated values are transferred from the calibration engine to DRAM IO,
which gets reflected as updated output driver and on-die termination values.
The first ZQCL command issued after reset is allowed a timing period of tZQinit to perform the full
calibration and the transfer of values. All other ZQCL commands except the first ZQCL command
issued after RESET are allowed a timing period of tZQoper.
ZQCS (ZQ Calibration Short) command is used to perform periodic calibrations to account for voltage
and temperature variations. A shorter timing window is provided to perform the calibration and transfer
of values as defined by timing parameter tZQCS. One ZQCS command can effectively correct a
minimum of 0.5 % (ZQ Correction) of RON and RTT impedance error within 64 nCK for all speed bins
assuming the maximum sensitivities specified in the ‘Output Driver Voltage and Temperature
Sensitivity’ and ‘ODT Voltage and Temperature Sensitivity’ tables. The appropriate interval
between ZQCS commands can be determined from these tables and other application-specific
parameters. One method for calculating the interval between ZQCS commands, given the temperature
(Tdriftrate) and voltage (Vdriftrate) drift rates that the SDRAM is subject to in the application, is
illustrated. The interval could be defined by the following formula:
ZQCorrection
(TSens× Tdriftrate) + (VSens × Vdriftrate)
where TSens = max(dRTTdT, dRONdTM) and VSens = max(dRTTdV, dRONdVM) define the SDRAM
temperature and voltage sensitivities.
For example, if TSens = 1.5%/C, VSens = 0.15%/mV, Tdriftrate = 1 C/sec and Vdriftrate = 15 mV/sec,
then the interval between ZQCS commands is calculated as:
0.5
= 0.133 ≈ 128mS
(1.5×1) + (0.15×15)
No other activities should be performed on the DRAM channel by the controller for the duration of
tZQinit, tZQoper, or tZQCS. The quiet time on the DRAM channel allows accurate calibration of output
driver and on-die termination values. Once DRAM calibration is achieved, the DRAM should disable
ZQ current consumption path to reduce power.
All banks must be precharged and tRP met before ZQCL or ZQCS commands are issued by the
controller. See section 9.1 “Command Truth Table” on page 94 for a description of the ZQCL and
ZQCS commands.
ZQ calibration commands can also be issued in parallel to DLL lock time when coming out of self
refresh. Upon Self-Refresh exit, DDR3L SDRAM will not perform an IO calibration without an explicit
ZQ calibration command. The earliest possible time for ZQ Calibration command (ZQCS or ZQCL)
after self refresh exit is tXS.
In systems that share the ZQ resistor between devices, the controller must not allow any overlap of
tZQoper, tZQinit, or tZQCS between the devices.

8.18.3 ZQ External Resistor Value, Tolerance, and Capacitive loading
In order to use the ZQ Calibration function, a 240 ohm ± 1% tolerance external resistor must be
connected between the ZQ pin and ground. The single resistor can be used for each SDRAM or one
resistor can be shared between two SDRAMs if the ZQ calibration timings for each SDRAM do not
overlap. The total capacitive loading on the ZQ pin must be limited (See section 10.11 “Input/Output
Capacitance” on page 119).

8.19 On-Die Termination (ODT)
ODT (On-Die Termination) is a feature of the DDR3L SDRAM that allows the DRAM to turn on/off
termination resistance for each DQU, DQL, DQSU, DQSU#, DQSL, DQSL#, DMU and DML signal via
the ODT control pin. The ODT feature is designed to improve signal integrity of the memory channel
by allowing the DRAM controller to independently turn on/off termination resistance for any or all
DRAM devices. More details about ODT control modes and ODT timing modes can be found further
down in this document:
The ODT control modes are described in section 8.19.1
The ODT synchronous mode is described in section 8.19.2
The dynamic ODT feature is described in section 8.19.3
The ODT asynchronous mode is described in section 8.19.4
The transitions between ODT synchronous and asynchronous are described in section 8.19.4.1
through section 8.19.4.4
The ODT feature is turned off and not supported in Self-Refresh mode.
A simple functional representation of the DRAM ODT feature is shown in Figure 73.

Figure 73 – Functional Representation of ODT
The switch is enabled by the internal ODT control logic, which uses the external ODT pin and other
control information, see below. The value of RTT is determined by the settings of Mode Register bits
(See Figure 6 - MR1 Definition and Figure 7 - MR2 Definition). The ODT pin will be ignored if the
Mode Registers MR1 and MR2 are programmed to disable ODT, and in self-refresh mode.
8.19.1 ODT Mode Register and ODT Truth Table
The ODT Mode is enabled if any of MR1 {A9, A6, A2} or MR2 {A10, A9} are non zero. In this case, the
value of RTT is determined by the settings of those bits (see Figure 6 on page 20).
Application: Controller sends WR command together with ODT asserted.
One possible application: The rank that is being written to provides termination.
DRAM turns ON termination if it sees ODT asserted (unless ODT is disabled by MR).
DRAM does not use any write or read command decode information.
The Termination Truth Table is shown in Table 8.

8.19.2 Synchronous ODT Mode
Synchronous ODT mode is selected whenever the DLL is turned on and locked. Based on the power-
down definition, these modes are:
Any bank active with CKE high
Refresh with CKE high
Idle mode with CKE high
Active power down mode (regardless of MR0 bit A12)
Precharge power down mode if DLL is enabled during precharge power down by MR0 bit A12.
The direct ODT feature is not supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must
be disabled by continuously registering the ODT pin low and/or by programming the Rtt_Nom bits
MR1{A9,A6,A2} to {0,0,0} via a mode register set command during DLL-off mode.
In synchronous ODT mode, RTT will be turned on ODTLon clock cycles after ODT is sampled high by
a rising clock edge and turned off ODTLoff clock cycles after ODT is registered low by a rising clock
edge. The ODT latency is tied to the write latency (WL) by: ODTLon = WL - 2; ODTLoff = WL - 2.
8.19.2.1 ODT Latency and Posted ODT
In Synchronous ODT Mode, the Additive Latency (AL) programmed into the Mode Register (MR1) also
applies to the ODT signal. The DRAM internal ODT signal is delayed for a number of clock cycles
defined by the Additive Latency (AL) relative to the external ODT signal. ODTLon = CWL + AL - 2;
ODTLoff = CWL + AL - 2. For more details refer to the ODT timing parameters in section 10.16 “AC
Characteristics” on page 137.

8.19.2.2 Timing Parameters
In synchronous ODT mode, the following timing parameters apply (see also Figures 74):
ODTLon, ODTLoff, tAON,min,max, tAOF,min,max.
Minimum RTT turn-on time (tAONmin) is the point in time when the device leaves high impedance and
ODT resistance begins to turn on. Maximum RTT turn on time (tAONmax) is the point in time when the
ODT resistance is fully on. Both are measured from ODTLon.
Minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOFmin) is the point in time when the device starts to turn off the ODT
resistance. Maximum RTT turn off time (tAOFmax) is the point in time when the on-die termination has
reached high impedance. Both are measured from ODTLoff.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain high until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a Write command is registered
by the SDRAM with ODT high, then ODT must remain high until ODTH4 (BL = 4) or ODTH8 (BL = 8)
after the Write command (see Figure 75). ODTH4 and ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered
high to ODT registered low or from the registration of a Write command until ODT is registered low.
ODT must be held high for at least ODTH4 after assertion (T1); ODT must be kept high ODTH4 (BL =
4) or ODTH8 (BL = 8) after Write command (T7). ODTH is measured from ODT first registered high to
ODT first registered low, or from registration of Write command with ODT high to ODT registered low.
Note that although ODTH4 is satisfied from ODT registered high at T6, ODT must not go low before
T11 as ODTH4 must also be satisfied from the registration of the Write command at T7.

8.19.2.3 ODT during Reads
As the DDR3L SDRAM can not terminate and drive at the same time, RTT must be disabled at least half a clock cycle before the read preamble by driving
the ODT pin low appropriately. RTT may not be enabled until the end of the post-amble as shown in the example below. As shown in Figure 76 below, at
cycle T15, DRAM turns on the termination when it stops driving, which is determined by tHZ. If DRAM stops driving early (i.e., tHZ is early), then tAONmin
timing may apply. If DRAM stops driving late (i.e., tHZ is late), then DRAM complies with tAONmax timing. Note that ODT may be disabled earlier before the
Read and enabled later after the Read than shown in this example in Figure 76.

8.19.3 Dynamic ODT
In certain application cases and to further enhance signal integrity on the data bus, it is desirable that
the termination strength of the DDR3L SDRAM can be changed without issuing an MRS command.
This requirement is supported by the “Dynamic ODT” feature as described as follows:
8.19.3.1 Functional Description:
The Dynamic ODT Mode is enabled if bit (A9) or (A10) of MR2 is set to ‘1’. The function is described
as follows:
Two RTT values are available: Rtt_Nom and Rtt_WR.
− The value for Rtt_Nom is preselected via bits A[9,6,2] in MR1.
− The value for Rtt_WR is preselected via bits A[10,9] in MR2.
During operation without write commands, the termination is controlled as follows:
− Nominal termination strength Rtt_Nom is selected.
− Termination on/off timing is controlled via ODT pin and latencies ODTLon and ODTLoff.
When a write command (WR, WRA, WRS4, WRS8, WRAS4, WRAS8) is registered, and if
Dynamic ODT is enabled, the termination is controlled as follows:
− A latency ODTLcnw after the write command, termination strength Rtt_WR is selected.
− A latency ODTLcwn8 (for BL8, fixed by MRS or selected OTF) or ODTLcwn4 (for BC4, fixed by
MRS or selected OTF) after the write command, termination strength Rtt_Nom is selected.
− Termination on/off timing is controlled via ODT pin and ODTLon, ODTLoff.
Table 10 shows latencies and timing parameters which are relevant for the on-die termination control
in Dynamic ODT mode.
The dynamic ODT feature is not supported at DLL-off mode. User must use MRS command to set
Rtt_WR, MR2{A10, A9}={0,0}, to disable Dynamic ODT externally.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain high until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a Write command is registered
by the SDRAM with ODT high, then ODT must remain high until ODTH4 (BL = 4) or ODTH8 (BL = 8)
after the Write command (see Figure 77). ODTH4 and ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered
high to ODT registered low or from the registration of a Write command until ODT is registered low.

8.19.4 Asynchronous ODT Mode
Asynchronous ODT mode is selected when DRAM runs in DLLon mode, but DLL is temporarily disabled (i.e. frozen) in precharge power-down (by MR0 bit
A12). Based on the power down mode definitions, this is currently Precharge power down mode if DLL is disabled during precharge power down by MR0
bit A12.
In asynchronous ODT timing mode, internal ODT command is NOT delayed by Additive Latency (AL) relative to the external ODT command.
In asynchronous ODT mode, the following timing parameters apply (see Figure 82): tAONPD,min,max, tAOFPD,min,max.
Minimum RTT turn-on time (tAONPDmin) is the point in time when the device termination circuit leaves high impedance state and ODT resistance begins to
turn on. Maximum RTT turn on time (tAONPDmax) is the point in time when the ODT resistance is fully on.
tAONPDmin and tAONPDmax are measured from ODT being sampled high.
Minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOFPDmin) is the point in time when the devices termination circuit starts to turn off the ODT resistance. Maximum ODT turn
off time (tAOFPDmax) is the point in time when the on-die termination has reached high impedance. tAOFPDmin and tAOFPDmax are measured from ODT
being sampled low.

8.19.4.2 Synchronous to Asynchronous ODT Mode Transition during Power-Down Entry
If DLL is selected to be frozen in Precharge Power Down Mode by the setting of bit A12 in MR0 to “0”,
there is a transition period around power down entry, where the DDR3L SDRAM may show either
synchronous or asynchronous ODT behavior.
The transition period is defined by the parameters tANPD and tCPDED(min). tANPD is equal to (WL -1)
and is counted backwards in time from the clock cycle where CKE is first registered low. tCPDED(min)
starts with the clock cycle where CKE is first registered low. The transition period begins with the
starting point of tANPD and terminates at the end point of tCPDED(min), as shown in Figure 83. If there
is a Refresh command in progress while CKE goes low, then the transition period ends at the later one
of tRFC(min) after the Refresh command and the end point of tCPDED(min), as shown in Figure 84.
Please note that the actual starting point at tANPD is excluded from the transition period, and the actual
end points at tCPDED(min) and tRFC(min), respectively, are included in the transition period.
ODT assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of
tAONPDmin and (ODTLon * tCK(avg) + tAONmin) and as late as the larger of tAONPDmax and (ODTLon *
tCK(avg) + tAONmax). ODT de-assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as
early as the smaller of tAOFPDmin and (ODTLoff * tCK(avg) + tAOFmin) and as late as the larger of
tAOFPDmax and (ODTLoff * tCK(avg) + tAOFmax). See Table 13.
Note that, if AL has a large value, the range where RTT is uncertain becomes quite large. Figure 83
shows the three different cases: ODT_A, synchronous behavior before tANPD; ODT_B has a state
change during the transition period; ODT_C shows a state change after the transition period.

8.19.4.3 Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode Transition during Power-Down Exit
If DLL is selected to be frozen in Precharge Power Down Mode by the setting of bit A12 in MR0 to “0”, there is also a transition period around power down
exit, where either synchronous or asynchronous response to a change in ODT must be expected from the DDR3L SDRAM.
This transition period starts tANPD before CKE is first registered high, and ends tXPDLL after CKE is first registered high. tANPD is equal to (WL - 1) and is
counted (backwards) from the clock cycle where CKE is first registered high.
ODT assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAONPDmin and (ODTLon*tCK(avg) + tAONmin) and as late
as the larger of tAONPDmax and (ODTLon*tCK(avg) + tAONmax). ODT de-assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the
smaller of tAOFPDmin and (ODTLoff*tCK(avg) + tAOFmin) and as late as the larger of tAOFPDmax and (ODTLoff*tCK(avg) + tAOFmax). See Table 13.
Note that, if AL has a large value, the range where RTT is uncertain becomes quite large. Figure 85 shows the three different cases: ODT_C,
asynchronous response before tANPD; ODT_B has a state change of ODT during the transition period; ODT_A shows a state change of ODT after the
transition period with synchronous response.

8.19.4.4 Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode during short CKE high and short CKE low periods
If the total time in Precharge Power Down state or Idle state is very short, the transition periods for PD entry and PD exit may overlap (see Figure 86). In
this case, the response of the DDR3L SDRAMs RTT to a change in ODT state at the input may be synchronous OR asynchronous from the start of the PD
entry transition period to the end of the PD exit transition period (even if the entry period ends later than the exit period).
If the total time in Idle state is very short, the transition periods for PD exit and PD entry may overlap. In this case the response of the DDR3L SDRAMs
RTT to a change in ODT state at the input may be synchronous OR asynchronous from the start of the PD exit transition period to the end of the PD entry
transition period. Note that in the bottom part of Figure 86 it is assumed that there was no Refresh command in progress when Idle state was entered.

Notes:
1. All DDR3L SDRAM commands are defined by states of CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE# and CKE at the rising edge of the clock.
The MSB of BA, RA and CA are device density and configuration dependant.
2. RESET# is Low enable command which will be used only for asynchronous reset so must be maintained HIGH during any
function.
3. Bank addresses (BA) determine which bank is to be operated upon. For (E)MRS BA selects an (Extended) Mode Register.
4. “V” means “H or L (but a defined logic level)” and “V” means either “defined or undefined (like floating) logic level”.
5. Burst reads or writes cannot be terminated or interrupted and Fixed/on-the-fly BL will be defined by MRS.
6. The Power Down Mode does not perform any refresh operation.
7. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh.
8. Self Refresh Exit is asynchronous.
9. VREF (Both VREFDQ and VREFCA) must be maintained during Self Refresh operation. VREFDQ supply may be turned OFF
and VREFDQ may take any value between VSS and VDD during Self Refresh operation, provided that VREFDQ is valid and
stable prior to CKE going back High and that first Write operation or first Write Leveling Activity may not occur earlier than
512 nCK after exit from Self Refresh.
10. The No Operation command should be used in cases when the DDR3L SDRAM is in an idle or wait state. The purpose of
the No Operation command (NOP) is to prevent the DDR3L SDRAM from registering any unwanted commands between
operations. A No Operation command will not terminate a pervious operation that is still executing, such as a burst read or
write cycle.
11. The Deselect command performs the same function as No Operation command.
12. Refer to the CKE Truth Table for more detail with CKE transition.

Notes:
1. CKE (N) is the logic state of CKE at clock edge N; CKE (N-1) was the state of CKE at the previous clock edge.
2. Current state is defined as the state of the DDR3L SDRAM immediately prior to clock edge N.
3. COMMAND (N) is the command registered at clock edge N, and ACTION (N) is a result of COMMAND (N), ODT is not
included here.
4. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved unless explicitly described elsewhere in this document.
5. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh.
6. During any CKE transition (registration of CKE H->L or CKE L->H) the CKE level must be maintained until 1nCK prior to
tCKEmin being satisfied (at which time CKE may transition again).
7. DESELECT and NOP are defined in the Command Truth Table.
8. On Self Refresh Exit DESELECT or NOP commands must be issued on every clock edge occurring during the tXS period.
Read or ODT commands may be issued only after tXSDLL is satisfied.
9. Self Refresh mode can only be entered from the All Banks Idle state.
10. Must be a legal command as defined in the Command Truth Table.
11. Valid commands for Power Down Entry and Exit are NOP and DESELECT only.
12. Valid commands for Self Refresh Exit are NOP and DESELECT only.
13. Self Refresh can not be entered during Read or Write operations. For a detailed list of restrictions See section 8.16 “Self-
Refresh Operation” on page 67 and See section 8.17 “Power-Down Modes” on page 69.
14. The Power Down does not perform any refresh operations.
15. “X” means “don't care” (including floating around VREF) in Self Refresh and Power Down. It also applies to Address pins.
16. VREF (Both VREFDQ and VREFCA) must be maintained during Self Refresh operation. VREFDQ supply may be turned OFF
and VREFDQ may take any value between VSS and VDD during Self Refresh operation, provided that VREFDQ is valid and
stable prior to CKE going back High and that first Write operation or first Write Leveling Activity may not occur earlier than
512 nCK after exit from Self Refresh.
17. If all banks are closed at the conclusion of the read, write or precharge command, then Precharge Power Down is entered,
otherwise Active Power Down is entered.
18. ‘Idle state’ is defined as all banks are closed (tRP, tDAL, etc. satisfied), no data bursts are in progress, CKE is high, and all
timings from previous operations are satisfied (tMRD, tMOD, tRFC, tZQinit, tZQoper, tZQCS, etc.) as well as all Self Refresh
exit and Power Down Exit parameters are satisfied (tXS, tXP, tXPDLL, etc).

2. During operation, the DRAM case temperature must be maintained between 0 to 95°C for Commercial parts under all
specification parameters.
3. During operation, the DRAM case temperature must be maintained between -40 to 95°C for Industrial parts under all
specification parameters
4. Some applications require operation of the 85°C < TCASE ≤ 95°C operating temperature. Full specifications are provided in
this range, but the following additional conditions apply:
(a) Refresh commands have to be doubled in frequency, therefore reducing the Refresh interval tREFI to 3.9 µS.
(b) If Self-Refresh operation is required in 85°C < TCASE ≤ 95°C operating temperature range, than it is mandatory to either
use the Manual Self-Refresh mode with Extended Temperature Range capability (MR2 A6 = 0b and MR2 A7 = 1b) or
enable the Auto Self-Refresh mode (ASR) (MR2 A6 = 1b, MR2 A7 is don't care).

The output timing reference voltage level for differential signals is the cross point of the true (e.g.
DQSL, DQSU) and the complement (e.g. DQSL#, DQSU#) signal.

The DC-tolerance limits and AC-noise limits for the reference voltages VREFCA and VREFDQ are
illustrated in Figure 89. It shows a valid reference voltage VREF(t) as a function of time. (VREF stands
for VREFCA and VREFDQ likewise).
VREF(DC) is the linear average of VREF(t) over a very long period of time (e.g., 1 sec). This average
has to meet the min/max requirements in Table 17. Furthermore VREF(t) may temporarily deviate from
VREF(DC) by no more than ± 1% VDD.

Figure 89 – Illustration of VREF(DC) tolerance and VREF AC-noise limits
The voltage levels for setup and hold time measurements VIH(AC), VIH(DC), VIL(AC), and VIL(DC) are
dependent on VREF.
“VREF” shall be understood as VREF(DC), as defined in Figure 89.
This clarifies that DC-variations of VREF affect the absolute voltage a signal has to reach to achieve a
valid high or low level and therefore the time to which setup and hold is measured. System timing and
voltage budgets need to account for VREF(DC) deviations from the optimum position within the data-
eye of the input signals.
This also clarifies that the DRAM setup/hold specification and derating values need to include time
and voltage associated with VREF AC-noise. Timing and voltage effects due to AC-noise on VREF up
to the specified limit (± 1% of VDD) are included in DRAM timings and their associated deratings.

10.6.4 Single-ended requirements for differential signals
Each individual component of a differential signal (CK, DQSL, DQSU, CK#, DQSL#, DQSU#) has also
to comply with certain requirements for single-ended signals.
CK and CK# have to approximately reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately equal to the AC-levels
(VIH.CA(AC) / VIL.CA(AC) ) for ADD/CMD signals) in every half-cycle.
DQSL, DQSU, DQSL#, DQSU# have to reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately the AC-levels
(VIH.DQ(AC) / VIL.DQ(AC) ) for DQ signals) in every half-cycle preceding and following a valid transition.
Note that the applicable ac-levels for ADD/CMD and DQ’s might be different per speed-bin etc. E.g., if
VIH.CA(AC135)/VIL.CA(AC135) is used for ADD/CMD signals, then these AC-levels apply also for the
single-ended signals CK and CK#.

2. VIH.DQ(AC) / VIL.DQ(AC) for DQs is based on VREFDQ; VIH.CA(AC) / VIL.CA(AC) for ADD/CMD is based on VREFCA; if a
reduced AC-high or AC-low level is used for a signal group, then the reduced level applies also here.
3. These values are not defined; however, the single-ended signals CK, CK#, DQSL, DQSL#, DQSU, DQSU# need to be within

Figure 91 – Single-ended requirement for differential signals
Note that, while ADD/CMD and DQ signal requirements are with respect to VREF, the single-ended
components of differential signals have a requirement with respect to VDD/2; this is nominally the
same. The transition of single-ended signals through the AC-levels is used to measure setup time. For
single-ended components of differential signals the requirement to reach VSELmax, VSEHmin has no
bearing on timing, but adds a restriction on the common mode characteristics of these signals.
10.6.5 Differential Input Cross Point Voltage
To guarantee tight setup and hold times as well as output skew parameters with respect to clock and
strobe, each cross point voltage of differential input signals (CK, CK# and DQS, DQS#) must meet the
requirements in Table 22. The differential input cross point voltage VIX is measured from the actual
cross point of true and complement signals to the midlevel between of VDD and VSS.

- Case 1 is defined for a single DQ signal within a byte lane which is switching into a certain direction (either from high
to low or low to high) while all remaining DQ signals in the same byte lane are static (i.e they stay at either high or low).
- Case 2 is defined for a single DQ signal within a byte lane which is switching into a certain direction (either from high
to low or low to high) while all remaining DQ signals in the same byte lane are switching into the opposite direction (i.e.
from low to high or high to low respectively). For the remaining DQ signal switching into the opposite direction, the
regular maximum limit of 5 V/nS applies.

limits if temperature or voltage changes after calibration, see following section on voltage and temperature sensitivity.
2. The tolerance limits are specified under the condition that VDDQ = VDD and that VSSQ = VSS.
3. Pull-down and pull-up output driver impedances are recommended to be calibrated at 0.5 × VDDQ. Other calibration
schemes may be used to achieve the linearity spec shown above, e.g. calibration at 0.2 × VDDQ and 0.8 × VDDQ.

10.9 On-Die Termination (ODT) Levels and Characteristics
10.9.1 ODT Levels and I-V Characteristics
On-Die Termination effective resistance RTT is defined by bits A9, A6 and A2 of the MR1 Register.
ODT is applied to the DQ, DM and DQS/DQS# pins.
A functional representation of the on-die termination is shown in Figure 97. The individual pull-up and
pull-down resistors (RTTPu and RTT ) are defined as follows:

Notes:
1. With RZQ = 240 Ω.
2. The tolerance limits are specified after calibration with stable voltage and temperature. For the behavior of the tolerance
limits if temperature or voltage changes after calibration, see the following section ODT temperature and voltage sensitivity.
3. The tolerance limits are specified under the condition that VDDQ = VDD and that VSSQ = VSS.
4. Measurement definition for RTT :
Apply VIH(AC) to pin under test and measure current I(VIH(AC)), then apply VIL(AC) to pin under test and measure current
I(VIL(AC)) respectively. Calculate RTT as follows:
RTT = [VIH(AC) - VIL(AC)] / [I (VIH(AC)) - I (VIL(AC))]
5. Measurement definition for VM and ΔVM:
Measure voltage (VM) at test pin (midpoint) with no load. Calculate ΔVM as follows:
ΔVM = (2 × VM / VDDQ - 1) × 100%.
10.9.3 ODT Temperature and Voltage sensitivity
If temperature and/or voltage change after calibration, the tolerance limits widen according to Table 33
and Table 34. The following definitions are used:
ΔT = T - T (@calibration);ΔV = VDDQ- VDDQ (@calibration); VDD = VDDQ

10.13 IDD and IDDQ Specification Parameters and Test Conditions
10.13.1 IDD and IDDQ Measurement Conditions
In this section, IDD and IDDQ measurement conditions such as test load and patterns are defined.
Figure 105 shows the setup and test load for IDD and IDDQ measurements.
IDD currents (such as IDD0, IDD1, IDD2N, IDD2NT, IDD2P0, IDD2P1, IDD2Q, IDD3N, IDD3P, IDD4R, IDD4W,
IDD5B, IDD6, IDD6ET and IDD7) are measured as time-averaged currents with all VDD balls of the
DDR3L SDRAM under test tied together. Any IDDQ current is not included in IDD currents.
IDDQ currents (such as IDDQ2NT and IDDQ4R) are measured as time-averaged currents with all
VDDQ balls of the DDR3L SDRAM under test tied together. Any IDD current is not included in IDDQ
currents.
Attention: IDDQ values cannot be directly used to calculate IO power of the DDR3L SDRAM.
They can be used to support correlation of simulated IO power to actual IO power as
outlined in Figure 106. In DRAM module application, IDDQ cannot be measured separately
since VDD and VDDQ are using one merged-power layer in Module PCB.
For IDD and IDDQ measurements, the following definitions apply:
“0” and “LOW” is defined as VIN ≤ VILAC(max).
“1” and “HIGH” is defined as VIN ≥ VIHAC(min).
“MID-LEVEL” is defined as inputs are VREF = VDD / 2.
Timings used for IDD and IDDQ Measurement-Loop Patterns are provided in Table 38.
Basic IDD and IDDQ Measurement Conditions are described in Table 39.
Detailed IDD and IDDQ Measurement-Loop Patterns are described in Table 40 through Table 47.
IDD Measurements are done after properly initializing the DDR3L SDRAM. This includes but is not
limited to setting
RON = RZQ/7 (34 Ohm in MR1);
Qoff = 0b (Output Buffer enabled in MR1);
Rtt_Nom = RZQ/6 (40 Ohm in MR1);
Rtt_WR = RZQ/2 (120 Ohm in MR2);
Attention: The IDD and IDDQ Measurement-Loop Patterns need to be executed at least one time
before actual IDD or IDDQ measurement is started.
Define D = {CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE# } := {HIGH, LOW, LOW, LOW}
Define D# = {CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE# } := {HIGH, HIGH, HIGH, HIGH}

The jitter specified is a random jitter meeting a Gaussian distribution. Input clocks violating the
min/max values may result in malfunction of the DDR3L SDRAM device.
Definition for tCK(avg)
tCK(avg) is calculated as the average clock period across any consecutive 200 cycle window, where
each clock period is calculated from rising edge to rising edge.
N
tCK(avg) =
tCK / N
j
j1
where
N = 200
Definition for tCK(abs)
tCK(abs) is defined as the absolute clock period, as measured from one rising edge to the next
consecutive rising edge. tCK(abs) is not subject to production test.
Definition for tCH(avg) and tCL(avg)
tCH(avg) is defined as the average high pulse width, as calculated across any consecutive 200 high
pulses.
N
tCH(avg) =
tCH / (N × tCK(avg))
j
j1
where
N = 200
tCL(avg) is defined as the average low pulse width, as calculated across any consecutive 200 low
pulses.

tCL(avg) =
tCL / (N × tCK(avg))
j
j1
where
N = 200
Definition for tJIT(per) and tJIT(per,lck)
tJIT(per) is defined as the largest deviation of any signal tCK from tCK(avg).
tJIT(per) = Min/max of {tCKi - tCK(avg) where i = 1 to 200}.
tJIT(per) defines the single period jitter when the DLL is already locked.
tJIT(per,lck) uses the same definition for single period jitter, during the DLL locking period only.
tJIT(per) and tJIT(per,lck) are not subject to production test.

10.15.4 Speed Bin General Notes
The absolute specification for all speed bins is TOPER and VDD = VDDQ = 1.283V to 1.45V. In addition
the following general notes apply.
1. Max. limits are exclusive. E.g. if tCK(AVG).MAX value is 2.5 nS, tCK(AVG) needs to be < 2.5 nS.
2. The CL setting and CWL setting result in tCK(AVG).MIN and tCK(AVG).MAX requirements. When making
a selection of tCK(AVG), both need to be fulfilled: Requirements from CL setting as well as
requirements from CWL setting.
3. tCK(AVG).MIN limits: Since CAS Latency is not purely analog - data and strobe output are
synchronized by the DLL - all possible intermediate frequencies may not be guaranteed. An
application should use the next smaller standard tCK(AVG) value (2.5, 1.875, 1.5, 1.25 or 1.07 nS)
when calculating CL [nCK] = tAA [nS] / tCK(AVG) [nS], rounding up to the next ‘Supported CL’.
4. tCK(AVG).MAX limits: Calculate tCK(AVG) = tAA.MAX / CL SELECTED and round the resulting tCK(AVG)
down to the next valid speed bin (i.e. 3.3nS or 2.5nS or 1.875 nS, 1.5 nS or 1.25 nS). This result is
tCK(AVG).MAX corresponding to CL SELECTED.
5. ‘Reserved’ settings are not allowed. User must program a different value.
6. Any DDR3L-1333 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the
table which are not subject to Production Tests but verified by Design/Characterization.
7. Any DDR3L-1600 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the
table which are not subject to Production Tests but verified by Design/Characterization.
8. Any DDR3L-1866 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the
table which are not subject to Production Tests but verified by Design/Characterization.
9. For devices supporting optional down binning to CL=7 and CL=9, tAA/tRCD/tRP min must be 13.125
nS or lower. SPD settings must be programmed to match. For example, DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9)
devices supporting down binning to DDR3L-1066 (7-7-7) should program 13.125 nS in SPD bytes
for tAAmin (Byte 16), tRCDmin (Byte 18), and tRPmin (Byte 20). DDR3L-1600 (11-11-11) devices
supporting down binning to DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9) or DDR3L-1066 (7-7-7) should program 13.125 nS
in SPD bytes for tAAmin (Byte16), tRCDmin (Byte 18), and tRPmin (Byte 20). Once tRP (Byte 20) is
programmed to 13.125 nS, tRCmin (Byte 21, 23) also should be programmed accodingly. For
example, 49.125nS (tRASmin + tRPmin = 36 nS + 13.125 nS) for DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9) and 48.125
nS (tRASmin + tRPmin = 35 nS + 13.125 nS) for DDR3L-1600 (11-11-11).

10.16.3 Timing Parameter Notes
1. Unit ‘tCK(avg)’ represents the actual tCK(avg) of the input clock under operation. Unit ‘nCK’ represents
one clock cycle of the input clock, counting the actual clock edges.
For example, tMRD = 4 [nCK] means; if one Mode Register Set command is registered at Tm, another
Mode Register Set command may be registered at Tm+4, even if (Tm+4 - Tm) is 4 x tCK(avg) +
tERR(4per),min (which is smaller than 4 x tCK(avg)).
2. Timing that is not specified is illegal and after such an event, in order to provide proper operation, the
DRAM must be resetted or powered down and then restarted through the specified initialization
sequence before normal operation can continue.
3. The CK/CK# input reference level (for timing reference to CK / CK#) is the point at which CK and CK#
cross.
The DQS/DQS# input reference level is the point at which DQS and DQS# cross;
The input reference level for signals other than CK/CK#, DQS/DQS# and RESET# is VREFCA and
VREFDQ respectively.
4. Inputs are not recognized as valid until VREFCA stabilizes within specified limits.
5. The max values are system dependent.
6. tCK(avg) refers to the actual application clock period. WR refers to the WR parameter stored in mode
register MR0.
7. n = from 13 cycles to 50 cycles. This row defines 38 parameters.
8. For these parameters, the DDR3L SDRAM device supports tnPARAM [nCK] = RU{ tPARAM [nS] / tCK(avg)
[nS] }, which is in clock cycles, assuming all input clock jitter specifications are satisfied.
For example, the device will support tnRP = RU{tRP / tCK(avg)}, which is in clock cycles, if all input clock
jitter specifications are met. This means: For DDR3L-1333 (9-9-9), of which tRP = 13.5nS, the device will
support tnRP = RU{tRP / tCK(avg)} = 9, as long as the input clock jitter specifications are met, i.e.
Precharge command at Tm and Active command at Tm+9 is valid even if (Tm+9 - Tm) is less than
13.5nS due to input clock jitter.
9. These parameters are measured from a command/address signal (CKE, CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE#, ODT,
BA0, A0, A1, etc.) transition edge to its respective clock signal (CK/CK#) crossing. The spec values are
not affected by the amount of clock jitter applied (i.e. tJIT(per), tJIT(cc), etc.), as the setup and hold are
relative to the clock signal crossing that latches the command/address. That is, these parameters
should be met whether clock jitter is present or not.
10.Pulse width of a input signal is defined as the width between the first crossing of VREF(DC) and the
consecutive crossing of VREF(DC).
11.These parameters are measured from a data signal (DM(L/U), DQ(L/U)0, DQ(L/U)1, etc.) transition
edge to its respective data strobe signal (DQS(L/U), DQS(L/U)#) crossing.
12.tDQSL describes the instantaneous differential input low pulse width on DQS - DQS#, as measured from
one falling edge to the next consecutive rising edge.
13.tDQSH describes the instantaneous differential input high pulse width on DQS - DQS#, as measured
from one rising edge to the next consecutive falling edge.
14.tDQSH,act + tDQSL,act = 1 tCK,act ; with tXYZ,act being the actual measured value of the respective timing
parameter in the application.
15.tDSH,act + tDSS,act = 1 tCK,act ; with tXYZ,act being the actual measured value of the respective timing
parameter in the application.
16.These parameters are measured from a data strobe signal (DQS(L/U), DQS(L/U)#) crossing to its
respective clock signal (CK, CK#) crossing. The spec values are not affected by the amount of clock
jitter applied (i.e. tJIT(per), tJIT(cc), etc.), as these are relative to the clock signal crossing. That is, these
parameters should be met whether clock jitter is present or not.

17.When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated by the actual
tERR(mper),act of the input clock, where 2 <= m <= 12. (output deratings are relative to the actual
SDRAM input clock.)
For example, if the measured jitter into a DDR3L-1333 SDRAM has tERR(mper),act,min = - 138 pS and
tERR(mper),act,max = + 155 pS, then
tDQSCK,min(derated) = tDQSCK,min - tERR(mper),act,max = - 255 pS - 155 pS = - 410 pS and
tDQSCK,max(derated) = tDQSCK,max - tERR(mper),act,min = 255 pS + 138 pS = + 393 pS.
Similarly, tLZ(DQ) for DDR3L-1333 derates to tLZ(DQ),min(derated) = - 500 pS - 155 pS = - 655 pS and
tLZ(DQ),max(derated) = 250 pS + 138 pS = + 388 pS. (Caution on the min/max usage!)
Note that tERR(mper),act,min is the minimum measured value of tERR(nper) where 2 <= n <= 12, and
tERR(mper),act,max is the maximum measured value of tERR(nper) where 2 <= n <= 12.
18.When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated by the actual
tJIT(per),act of the input clock. (output deratings are relative to the SDRAM input clock.)
For example, if the measured jitter into a DDR3L-1333 SDRAM has tCK(avg),act = 1500 pS,
tJIT(per),act,min = - 58 pS and tJIT(per),act,max = + 74 pS, then
tRPRE,min(derated) = tRPRE,min + tJIT(per),act,min = 0.9 x tCK(avg),act + tJIT(per),act,min = 0.9 x 1500
pS - 58 pS = + 1292 pS.
Similarly, tQH,min(derated) = tQH,min + tJIT(per),act,min = 0.38 x tCK(avg),act + tJIT(per),act,min = 0.38 x
1500 pS - 58 pS = + 512 pS. (Caution on the min/max usage!).
19.WR in clock cycles as programmed in mode register MR0.
20.tWR(min) is defined in nS, for calculation of tWRPDEN it is necessary to round up tWR(min)/tCK(avg) to the
next integer value.
21.The maximum read preamble is bound by tLZ(DQS)min on the left side and tDQSCK(max) on the right side.
See Figure 24 - “READ Timing; Clock to Data Strobe relationship” on page 45.
22.The maximum read postamble is bound by tDQSCK(min) plus tQSH(min) on the left side and tHZ(DQS)max
on the right side. See Figure 24 - “READ Timing; Clock to Data Strobe relationship” on page 45.
23.Value is only valid for RON34.
24.Single ended signal parameter.
25.tREFI depends on TOPER.
26.Start of internal write transaction is defined as follows:
For BL8 (fixed by MRS and on- the-fly): Rising clock edge 4 clock cycles after WL.
For BC4 (on- the- fly): Rising clock edge 4 clock cycles after WL.
For BC4 (fixed by MRS): Rising clock edge 2 clock cycles after WL.
27.CKE is allowed to be registered low while operations such as row activation, precharge, auto-precharge
or refresh are in progress, but power down IDD spec will not be applied until finishing those operations.
28.Although CKE is allowed to be registered LOW after a REFRESH command once tREFPDEN(min) is
satisfied, there are cases where additional time such as tXPDLL(min) is also required. See section 8.17.3
“Power-Down clarifications - Case 2” on page 75.
29.Defined between end of MPR read burst and MRS which reloads MPR or disables MPR function.
30.ODTH4 is measured from ODT first registered high (without a Write command) to ODT first registered
low, or from ODT registered high together with a Write command with burst length 4 to ODT registered
low.
31.ODTH8 is measured from ODT registered high together with a Write command with burst length 8 to
ODT registered low.
32.This parameter applies upon entry and during precharge power down mode with DLL frozen.

33.One ZQCS command can effectively correct a minimum of 0.5 % (ZQ Correction) of RON and RTT
impedance error within 64 nCK for all speed bins assuming the maximum sensitivities specified in the
‘Output Driver Voltage and Temperature Sensitivity’ and ‘ODT Voltage and Temperature Sensitivity’
tables. The appropriate interval between ZQCS commands can be determined from these tables and
other application-specific parameters.
One method for calculating the interval between ZQCS commands, given the temperature (Tdriftrate)
and voltage (Vdriftrate) drift rates that the SDRAM is subject to in the application, is illustrated. The
interval could be defined by the following formula:
ZQCorrection
(TSens× Tdriftrate) + (VSens × Vdriftrate)
where TSens = max(dRTTdT, dRONdTM) and VSens = max(dRTTdV, dRONdVM) define the SDRAM
temperature and voltage sensitivities.
For example, if TSens = 1.5% / C, VSens = 0.15% / mV, Tdriftrate = 1 C / sec and Vdriftrate = 15
mV/sec, then the interval between ZQCS commands is calculated as:
0.5
= 0.133 ≈ 128mS
(1.5×1) + (0.15×15)
34.Commands not requiring a locked DLL are all commands except Read, Read with Auto-Precharge and
Synchronous ODT.
35.Commands requiring a locked DLL are Read, Read with Auto-Precharge and Synchronous ODT.
36.A maximum of one regular plus eight posted refresh commands can be issued to any given DDR3L
SDRAM device meaning that the maximum absolute interval between any refresh command and the
next refresh command is 9 ×tREFI.
37.Parameter tCK(avg) is specified per its average value. However, it is understood that the relationship
between the average timing tCK(avg) and the respective absolute instantaneous timing tCK(abs) holds
all times.
38.tCH(abs) is the absolute instantaneous clock high pulse width, as measured from one rising edge to the
following falling edge.
39.tCL(abs) is the absolute instantaneous clock low pulse width, as measured from one falling edge to the
following rising edge.
40.tDS(base) and tDH(base) values are for a single-ended 1V/nS slew rate DQs (DQs are at 2V/nS for
DDR3L-1866) and 2V/nS DQS, DQS# differential slew rate. Note for DQ and DM signals, VREF(DC) =
VREFDQ(DC). For input only pins except RESET#, VREF(DC) = VREFCA(DC). See section 10.16.5 “Data
Setup, Hold and Slew Rate Derating” on page 155.
41.tIS(base) and tIH(base) values are for 1V/nS CMD/ADD single-ended slew rate and 2V/nS CK, CK#
differential slew rate. Note for DQ and DM signals, VREF(DC) = VREFDQ(DC). For input only pins except
RESET#, VREF(DC) = VREFCA(DC). See section 10.16.4 “Address / Command Setup, Hold and
Derating” on page 148.
42.The setup and hold times are listed converting the base specification values (to which derating tables
apply) to VREF when the slew rate is 1 V/nS (DQs are at 2V/nS for DDR3L-1866). These values, with a
slew rate of 1 V/nS (DQs are at 2V/nS for DDR3L-1866), are for reference only.
43.For definition of RTT turn-on time tAON See 8.19.2.2 “Timing Parameters” on page 80.
44.For definition of RTT turn-off time tAOF See 8.19.2.2 “Timing Parameters” on page 80.
45.There is no maximum cycle time limit besides the need to satisfy the refresh interval, tREFI.

10.16.4 Address / Command Setup, Hold and Derating
For all input signals the total tIS (setup time) and tIH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the
datasheet tIS(base) and tIH(base) value (see Table 48) to the ΔtIS and ΔtIH derating value (see Table 49
and Table 51) respectively. Example: tIS (total setup time) = tIS(base) + ΔtIS
Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of
VREF(DC) and the first crossing of VIH(AC)min. Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is
defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VREF(DC) and the first crossing of VIL(AC)max. If
the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal slew rate line between shaded ‘VREF(DC) to AC
region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value (see Figure 107). If the actual signal is later than the
nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘VREF(DC) to AC region’, the slew rate of a tangent
line to the actual signal from the AC level to DC level is used for derating value (see Figure 109).
Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of
VIL(DC)max and the first crossing of VREF(DC). Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined
as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIH(DC)min and the first crossing of VREF(DC). If the actual
signal is always later than the nominal slew rate line between shaded ‘DC to VREF(DC) region’, use
nominal slew rate for derating value (see Figure 108). If the actual signal is earlier than the nominal
slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘DC to VREF(DC) region’, the slew rate of a tangent line to the
actual signal from the DC level to VREF(DC) level is used for derating value (see Figure 110).
For a valid transition the input signal has to remain above/below VIH/IL(AC) for some time tVAC (see
Table 52).
Although for slow slew rates the total setup time might be negative (i.e. a valid input signal will not
have reached VIH/IL(AC) at the time of the rising clock transition, a valid input signal is still required to
complete the transition and reach VIH/IL(AC).
For slew rates in between the values listed in the tables, the derating values may obtained by linear
interpolation.
These values are typically not subject to production test. They are verified by design and
characterization.

2. The tIS(base) AC135 specifications are adjusted from the tIS(base) AC160 specification by adding an additional 100pS for
DDR3L-1333/1600 of derating to accommodate for the lower alternate threshold of 135 mV and another 25 pS to account
for the earlier reference point [(160 mV - 135 mV) / 1 V/nS].
3. The tIS(base) AC125 specifications are adjusted from the tIS(base) AC135 specification by adding an additional 75 pS for
DDR3L-1866 of derating to accommodate for the lower alternate threshold of 135 mV and another 10 pS to account for the
earlier reference point [(135 mV - 125 mV) / 1 V/nS].

10.16.5 Data Setup, Hold and Slew Rate Derating
For all input signals the total tDS (setup time) and tDH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the
data sheet tDS(base) and tDH(base) value (see Table 53) to the ΔtDS and ΔtDH (see Table 54 and Table
55) derating value respectively. Example: tDS (total setup time) = tDS(base) + ΔtDS.
Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing
of VREF(DC) and the first crossing of VIH(AC)min. Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is
defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VREF(DC) and the first crossing of VIL(AC)max
(see Figure 107). If the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal slew rate line between shaded
‘VREF(DC) to AC region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is later than the
nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘VREF(DC) to AC region’, the slew rate of a tangent
line to the actual signal from the AC level to DC level is used for derating value (see Figure 109).
Hold (tDH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of
VIL(DC)max and the first crossing of VREF(DC). Hold (tDH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is
defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIH(DC)min and the first crossing of VREF(DC)
(see Figure 108). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew rate line between shaded
‘DC level to VREF(DC) region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is earlier
than the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘DC to VREF(DC) region’, the slew rate of a
tangent line to the actual signal from the DC level to VREF(DC) level is used for derating value (see
Figure 110).
For a valid transition the input signal has to remain above/below VIH/IL(AC) for some time tVAC (see
Table 56).
Although for slow slew rates the total setup time might be negative (i.e. a valid input signal will not
have reached VIH/IL(AC) at the time of the rising clock transition) a valid input signal is still required to
complete the transition and reach VIH/IL(AC).
For slew rates in between the values listed in the tables the derating values may obtained by linear
interpolation.
These values are typically not subject to production test. They are verified by design and
characterization.

11.4 VDDQ/VDDQ Voltage Switch between DDR3L and DDR3
If the SDRAM is powered up and initialized for the 1.35V operating voltage range, voltage can be
increased to the 1.5V operating range provided that:
Just prior to increasing the 1.35V operating voltages, no further commands are issued, other than
NOPs or COMMAND INHIBITs, and all banks are in the precharge state.
The 1.5V operating voltages are stable prior to issuing new commands, other than NOPs or
COMMAND INHIBITs.
The DLL is reset and relocked after the 1.5V operating voltages are stable and prior to any READ
command.
The ZQ calibration is performed. tZQinit must be satisfied after the 1.5V operating voltages are
stable and prior to any READ command.
