Important Notes and Warnings
General Description
The 64Mb SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic random-access memory containing
67,108,864 bits. It is internally configured as a quad-bank DRAM with a synchronous in-
terface (all signals are registered on the positive edge of the clock signal, CLK). Each of
the x4’s 67,108,864-bit banks is organized as 8192 rows by 2048 columns by 4 bits. Each
of the 16,777,216-bit banks is organized as 2048 rows by 256 columns by 32 bits.

64Mb: x32 SDRAM
General Description
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst-oriented; accesses start at a selected
location and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed se-
quence. Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE command, which is then fol-
lowed by a READ or WRITE command. The address bits registered coincident with the
ACTIVE command are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA[1:0] select the
bank; A[10:0] select the row). The address bits registered coincident with the READ or
WRITE command are used to select the starting column location for the burst access.
The SDRAM provides for programmable read or write burst lengths (BL) of 1, 2, 4, or 8
locations, or the full page, with a burst terminate option. An auto precharge function
may be enabled to provide a self-timed row precharge that is initiated at the end of the
burst sequence.
The 64Mb SDRAM uses an internal pipelined architecture to achieve high-speed opera-
tion. This architecture is compatible with the 2n rule of prefetch architectures, but it al-
so allows the column address to be changed on every clock cycle to achieve a high-
speed, fully random access. Precharging one bank while accessing one of the other
three banks will hide the PRECHARGE cycles and provide seamless, high-speed, ran-
dom-access operation.
The 64Mb SDRAM is designed to operate in 3.3V memory systems. An auto refresh
mode is provided, along with a power-saving, power-down mode. All inputs and out-
puts are LVTTL-compatible.
SDRAM devices offer substantial advances in DRAM operating performance, including
the ability to synchronously burst data at a high data rate with automatic column-ad-
dress generation, the ability to interleave between internal banks to hide precharge
time, and the capability to randomly change column addresses on each clock cycle dur-
ing a burst access.
Automotive Temperature
The automotive temperature (AT) option adheres to the following specifications:
• 16ms refresh rate
• Self refresh not supported
• Ambient and case temperature cannot be less than –40°C or greater than +105°C

Temperature and Thermal Impedance
Notes: 1. MAX operating case temperature TC is measured in the center of the package on the
top side of the device, as shown in Figure 6 (page 16) and Figure 7 (page 17).
2. Device functionality is not guaranteed if the device exceeds maximum TC during opera-
tion.
3. All temperature specifications must be satisfied.
4. The case temperature should be measured by gluing a thermocouple to the top-center
of the component. This should be done with a 1mm bead of conductive epoxy, as de-
fined by the JEDEC EIA/JESD51 standards. Take care to ensure that the thermocouple
bead is touching the case.
5. Operating ambient temperature surrounding the package.

command wake-ups should be repeated any time the tREF refresh requirement is excee-
ded.
3. In addition to meeting the transition rate specification, the clock and CKE must transit
between VIH and VIL (or between VIL and VIH) in a monotonic manner.
4. Outputs measured at 1.5V with equivalent load:

5. AC timing and IDD tests have VIL = 0.25V and VIH = 2.75V, with timing referenced to 1.5V
crossover point.
6. Not applicable for revision G.
7. The clock frequency must remain constant (stable clock is defined as a signal cycling
within timing constraints specified for the clock pin) during access or precharge states
(READ, WRITE, including tWR, and PRECHARGE commands). CKE may be used to reduce
the data rate.
t
8. HZ defines the time at which the output achieves the open circuit condition; it is not a
reference to VOH or VOL. The last valid data element will meet tOH before going High-Z.
9. DRAM devices should be evenly addressed when being accessed. Disproportionate ac-
cesses to a particular row address may result in reduction of the product lifetime.
10. JEDEC and PC100 specify three clocks.
11. AC characteristics assume tT = 1ns.
12. Auto precharge mode only.
13. Check factory for availability of specially screened devices having tWR = 10ns. tWR = 1

Functional Description
Functional Description
In general, this 64Mb SDRAM device (512K x 32x 4 banks) is a quad-bank DRAM that
operates at 3.3V and include a synchronous interface. All signals are registered on the
positive edge of the clock signal, CLK. Each of the 16,777,216-bit banks is organized as
2048 rows by 256 columns by 32 bits.
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst-oriented; accesses start at a selected
location and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed se-
quence. Accesses begin with the registration of an ACTIVE command, followed by a
READ or WRITE command. The address bits registered coincident with the ACTIVE
command are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0 and BA1 select the
bank, A[10:0] select the row). The address bits (A[7:0]) registered coincident with the
READ or WRITE command are used to select the starting column location for the burst
access.
Prior to normal operation, the device must be initialized. The following sections provide
detailed information covering device initialization, register definition, command de-
scriptions, and device operation.

Commands
Commands
The following table provides a quick reference of available commands, followed by a
written description of each command. Additional Truth Tables (Table 15 (page 32), Ta-
ble 16 (page 34), and Table 17 (page 36)) provide current state/next state informa-
tion.
Notes: 1. CKE is HIGH for all commands shown except SELF REFRESH.
2. A[0:n] provide row address (where An is the most significant address bit), BA0 and BA1
determine which bank is made active.
3. A[0:i] provide column address (where i = the most significant column address for a given
device configuration). A10 HIGH enables the auto precharge feature (nonpersistent),
while A10 LOW disables the auto precharge feature. BA0 and BA1 determine which
bank is being read from or written to.
4. The purpose of the BURST TERMINATE command is to stop a data burst, thus the com-
mand could coincide with data on the bus. However, the DQ column reads a “Don’t
Care” state to illustrate that the BURST TERMINATE command can occur when there is
no data present.
5. A10 LOW: BA0, BA1 determine the bank being precharged. A10 HIGH: all banks pre-
charged and BA0, BA1 are “Don’t Care.”
6. This command is AUTO REFRESH if CKE is HIGH, SELF REFRESH if CKE is LOW.
7. Internal refresh counter controls row addressing; all inputs and I/Os are “Don’t Care” ex-
cept for CKE.
8. A[11:0] define the op-code written to the mode register.
9. Activates or deactivates the DQ during WRITEs (zero-clock delay) and READs (two-clock
delay).
COMMAND INHIBIT
The COMMAND INHIBIT function prevents new commands from being executed by
the device, regardless of whether the CLK signal is enabled. The device is effectively de-
selected. Operations already in progress are not affected.

Commands
NO OPERATION (NOP)
The NO OPERATION (NOP) command is used to perform a NOP to the selected device
(CS# is LOW). This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or
wait states. Operations already in progress are not affected.
ACTIVE
The ACTIVE command is used to activate a row in a particular bank for a subsequent
access. The value on the BA0, BA1 inputs selects the bank, and the address provided se-
lects the row. This row remains active for accesses until a PRECHARGE command is is-
sued to that bank. A PRECHARGE command must be issued before opening a different
row in the same bank.

Commands
READ
The READ command is used to initiate a burst read access to an active row. The values
on the BA0 and BA1 inputs select the bank; the address provided selects the starting col-
umn location. The value on input A10 determines whether auto precharge is used. If au-
to precharge is selected, the row being accessed is precharged at the end of the READ
burst; if auto precharge is not selected, the row remains open for subsequent accesses.
Read data appears on the DQ subject to the logic level on the DQM inputs two clocks
earlier. If a given DQM signal was registered HIGH, the corresponding DQ will be High-
Z two clocks later; if the DQM signal was registered LOW, the DQ will provide valid data.

Commands
WRITE
The WRITE command is used to initiate a burst write access to an active row. The values
on the BA0 and BA1 inputs select the bank; the address provided selects the starting col-
umn location. The value on input A10 determines whether auto precharge is used. If au-
to precharge is selected, the row being accessed is precharged at the end of the write
burst; if auto precharge is not selected, the row remains open for subsequent accesses.
Input data appearing on the DQ is written to the memory array, subject to the DQM in-
put logic level appearing coincident with the data. If a given DQM signal is registered
LOW, the corresponding data is written to memory; if the DQM signal is registered
HIGH, the corresponding data inputs are ignored and a WRITE is not executed to that
byte/column location.

Commands
PRECHARGE
The PRECHARGE command is used to deactivate the open row in a particular bank or
the open row in all banks. The bank(s) will be available for a subsequent row access a
specified time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE command is issued. Input A10 determines
whether one or all banks are to be precharged, and in the case where only one bank is
precharged, inputs BA0 and BA1 select the bank. Otherwise BA0 and BA1 are treated as
“Don’t Care.” After a bank has been precharged, it is in the idle state and must be acti-
vated prior to any READ or WRITE commands are issued to that bank.

Commands
REFRESH
AUTO REFRESH
AUTO REFRESH is used during normal operation of the SDRAM and is analogous to
CAS#-BEFORE-RAS# (CBR) refresh in conventional DRAMs. This command is nonper-
sistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. All active banks must be pre-
charged prior to issuing an AUTO REFRESH command. The AUTO REFRESH command
should not be issued until the minimum tRP has been met after the PRECHARGE com-
mand, as shown in Bank/Row Activation (page 44).
The addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This makes the address
bits a “Don’t Care” during an AUTO REFRESH command. Regardless of device width,
the 64Mb SDRAM requires 4096 AUTO REFRESH cycles every 64ms (commercial and
industrial) or 16ms (automotive). Providing a distributed AUTO REFRESH command
every 15.625˩s (commercial and industrial) or 3.906˩s (automotive) will meet the re-
fresh requirement and ensure that each row is refreshed. Alternatively, 4096 AUTO RE-
FRESH commands can be issued in a burst at the minimum cycle rate (tRFC), once ev-
ery 64ms (commercial and industrial) or 16ms (automotive).
SELF REFRESH
The SELF REFRESH command can be used to retain data in the SDRAM, even if the rest
of the system is powered-down. When in the self refresh mode, the SDRAM retains data
without external clocking.
The SELF REFRESH command is initiated like an AUTO REFRESH command except
CKE is disabled (LOW). After the SELF REFRESH command is registered, all the inputs
to the SDRAM become a “Don’t Care” with the exception of CKE, which must remain
LOW.
After self refresh mode is engaged, the SDRAM provides its own internal clocking, caus-
ing it to perform its own AUTO REFRESH cycles. The SDRAM must remain in self re-
fresh mode for a minimum period equal to tRAS and may remain in self refresh mode
for an indefinite period beyond that.
The procedure for exiting self refresh requires a sequence of commands. First, CLK
must be stable (stable clock is defined as a signal cycling within timing constraints
specified for the clock pin) prior to CKE going back HIGH. After CKE is HIGH, the
SDRAM must have NOP commands issued (a minimum of two clocks) for tXSR because
time is required for the completion of any internal refresh in progress.
Upon exiting the self refresh mode, AUTO REFRESH commands must be issued at the
specified intervals, as both SELF REFRESH and AUTO REFRESH utilize the row refresh
counter.
Self refresh is not supported on automotive temperature devices.

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

Mode Register
Mode Register
The mode register defines the specific mode of operation, including burst length (BL),
burst type, CAS latency (CL), operating mode, and write burst mode. The mode register
is programmed via the LOAD MODE REGISTER command and retains the stored infor-
mation until it is programmed again or the device loses power.
Mode register bits M[2:0] specify the BL; M3 specifies the type of burst; M[6:4] specify
the CL; M7 and M8 specify the operating mode; M9 specifies the write burst mode; and
M10–Mn should be set to zero to ensure compatibility with future revisions. Mn + 1 and
Mn + 2 should be set to zero to select the mode register.
The mode registers must be loaded when all banks are idle, and the controller must wait
tMRD before initiating the subsequent operation. Violating either of these requirements

tions that can be accessed for a given READ or WRITE command. Burst lengths of 1, 2,
4, 8, or continuous locations are available for both the sequential and the interleaved
burst types, and a continuous page burst is available for the sequential type. The con-
tinuous page burst is used in conjunction with the BURST TERMINATE command to
generate arbitrary burst lengths.
Reserved states should not be used, as unknown operation or incompatibility with fu-
ture versions may result.
When a READ or WRITE command is issued, a block of columns equal to the burst
length is effectively selected. All accesses for that burst take place within this block,
meaning that the burst wraps within the block when a boundary is reached. The block
is uniquely selected by A[8:1] when BL = 2, A[8:2] when BL = 4, and A[8:3] when BL = 8.
The remaining (least significant) address bit(s) is (are) used to select the starting loca-
tion within the block. Continuous page bursts wrap within the page when the boundary
is reached.
Burst Type
Accesses within a given burst can be programmed to be either sequential or interleaved;
this is referred to as the burst type and is selected via bit M3.
The ordering of accesses within a burst is determined by the burst length, the burst
type, and the starting column address.

CAS Latency
The CAS latency (CL) is the delay, in clock cycles, between the registration of a READ
command and the availability of the output data. The latency can be set to two or three
clocks.
If a READ command is registered at clock edge n, and the latency is m clocks, the data
will be available by clock edge n + m. The DQ start driving as a result of the clock edge
one cycle earlier (n + m - 1), and provided that the relevant access times are met, the
data is valid by clock edge n + m. For example, assuming that the clock cycle time is
such that all relevant access times are met, if a READ command is registered at T0 and
the latency is programmed to two clocks, the DQ start driving after T1 and the data is
valid by T2.
Reserved states should not be used as unknown operation or incompatibility with fu-
ture versions may result.

Bank/Row Activation
Bank/Row Activation
Before any READ or WRITE commands can be issued to a bank within the SDRAM, a
row in that bank must be opened. This is accomplished via the ACTIVE command,
which selects both the bank and the row to be activated.
After a row is opened with the ACTIVE command, a READ or WRITE command can be
issued to that row, subject to the tRCD specification. tRCD (MIN) should be divided by
the clock period and rounded up to the next whole number to determine the earliest
clock edge after the ACTIVE command on which a READ or WRITE command can be
entered. For example, a tRCD specification of 20ns with a 125 MHz clock (8ns period)
results in 2.5 clocks, rounded to 3. This is reflected in Figure 15 (page 44), which covers
any case where 2 < tRCD (MIN)/tCK ื 3. (The same procedure is used to convert other
specification limits from time units to clock cycles.)
A subsequent ACTIVE command to a different row in the same bank can only be issued
after the previous active row has been precharged. The minimum time interval between
successive ACTIVE commands to the same bank is defined by tRC.
A subsequent ACTIVE command to another bank can be issued while the first bank is
being accessed, which results in a reduction of total row-access overhead. The mini-
mum time interval between successive ACTIVE commands to different banks is defined
by tRRD.

READ Operation
READ Operation
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command, as shown in Figure 9 (page 28). The
starting column and bank addresses are provided with the READ command, and auto
precharge is either enabled or disabled for that burst access. If auto precharge is ena-
bled, the row being accessed is precharged at the completion of the burst. In the follow-
ing figures, auto precharge is disabled.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element from the starting column address is
available following the CAS latency after the READ command. Each subsequent data-
out element will be valid by the next positive clock edge. Figure 17 (page 47) shows
general timing for each possible CAS latency setting.
Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other commands have been initiated, the DQ
signals will go to High-Z. A continuous page burst continues until terminated. At the
end of the page, it wraps to column 0 and continues.
Data from any READ burst can be truncated with a subsequent READ command, and
data from a fixed-length READ burst can be followed immediately by data from a READ
command. In either case, a continuous flow of data can be maintained. The first data
element from the new burst either follows the last element of a completed burst or the
last desired data element of a longer burst that is being truncated. The new READ com-
mand should be issued x cycles before the clock edge at which the last desired data ele-
ment is valid, where x = CL - 1. This is shown in Figure 17 (page 47) for CL2 and CL3.
SDRAM devices use a pipelined architecture and therefore do not require the 2n rule as-
sociated with a prefetch architecture. A READ command can be initiated on any clock
cycle following a READ command. Full-speed random read accesses can be performed
to the same bank, or each subsequent READ can be performed to a different bank.

Data from any READ burst can be truncated with a subsequent WRITE command, and
data from a fixed-length READ burst can be followed immediately by data from a
WRITE command (subject to bus turnaround limitations). The WRITE burst can be ini-
tiated on the clock edge immediately following the last (or last desired) data element
from the READ burst, provided that I/O contention can be avoided. In a given system
design, there is a possibility that the device driving the input data will go Low-Z before
the DQ go High-Z. In this case, at least a single-cycle delay should occur between the
last read data and the WRITE command.
The DQM input is used to avoid I/O contention, as shown in Figure 18 (page 48) and
Figure 19 (page 49). The DQM signal must be asserted (HIGH) at least two clocks prior
to the WRITE command (DQM latency is two clocks for output buffers) to suppress da-
ta-out from the READ. After the WRITE command is registered, the DQ will go to High-Z
(or remain High-Z), regardless of the state of the DQM signal, provided the DQM was
active on the clock just prior to the WRITE command that truncated the READ com-
mand. If not, the second WRITE will be an invalid WRITE. For example, if DQM was
LOW during T4, then the WRITEs at T5 and T7 would be valid, and the WRITE at T6
would be invalid.

READ Operation
The DQM signal must be de-asserted prior to the WRITE command (DQM latency is
zero clocks for input buffers) to ensure that the written data is not masked. Figure 18
(page 48) shows where, due to the clock cycle frequency, bus contention is avoided
without having to add a NOP cycle, while Figure 19 (page 49) shows the case where an
additional NOP cycle is required.
A fixed-length READ burst may be followed by or truncated with a PRECHARGE com-
mand to the same bank, provided that auto precharge was not activated. The PRE-
CHARGE command should be issued x cycles before the clock edge at which the last de-
sired data element is valid, where x = CL - 1. This is shown in Figure 20 (page 49) for
each possible CL; data element n + 3 is either the last of a burst of four or the last de-
sired data element of a longer burst. Following the PRECHARGE command, a subse-
quent command to the same bank cannot be issued until tRP is met. Note that part of
the row precharge time is hidden during the access of the last data element(s).
In the case of a fixed-length burst being executed to completion, a PRECHARGE com-
mand issued at the optimum time (as described above) provides the same operation
that would result from the same fixed-length burst with auto precharge. The disadvant-
age of the PRECHARGE command is that it requires that the command and address
buses be available at the appropriate time to issue the command. The advantage of the
PRECHARGE command is that it can be used to truncate fixed-length or continuous
page bursts.

WRITE Operation
WRITE Operation
WRITE bursts are initiated with a WRITE command, as shown in Figure 10 (page 29).
The starting column and bank addresses are provided with the WRITE command and
auto precharge is either enabled or disabled for that access. If auto precharge is ena-
bled, the row being accessed is precharged at the completion of the burst. For the ge-
neric WRITE commands used in the following figures, auto precharge is disabled.
During WRITE bursts, the first valid data-in element is registered coincident with the
WRITE command. Subsequent data elements are registered on each successive positive
clock edge. Upon completion of a fixed-length burst, assuming no other commands
have been initiated, the DQ will remain at High-Z and any additional input data will be
ignored (see Figure 25 (page 54)). A continuous page burst continues until terminated;
at the end of the page, it wraps to column 0 and continues.
Data for any WRITE burst can be truncated with a subsequent WRITE command, and
data for a fixed-length WRITE burst can be followed immediately by data for a WRITE
command. The new WRITE command can be issued on any clock following the previ-
ous WRITE command, and the data provided coincident with the new command ap-
plies to the new command (see Figure 26 (page 55)). Data n + 1 is either the last of a
burst of two or the last desired data element of a longer burst.
SDRAM devices use a pipelined architecture and therefore do not require the 2n rule as-
sociated with a prefetch architecture. A WRITE command can be initiated on any clock
cycle following a previous WRITE command. Full-speed random write accesses within a
page can be performed to the same bank, as shown in Figure 27 (page 56), or each
subsequent WRITE can be performed to a different bank.

After the READ command is registered, data input is ignored and WRITEs will not be

last desired data element of a longer burst.
Data for a fixed-length WRITE burst can be followed by or truncated with a PRE-

A continuous-page WRITE burst can be truncated with a PRECHARGE command to the
same bank. The PRECHARGE command should be issued tWR after the clock edge at
which the last desired input data element is registered. The auto precharge mode re-
quires a tWR of at least one clock with time to complete, regardless of frequency.
In addition, when truncating a WRITE burst at high clock frequencies ( tCK < 15ns), the
DQM signal must be used to mask input data for the clock edge prior to and the clock
edge coincident with the PRECHARGE command (see Figure 29 (page 57)). Data n + 1
is either the last of a burst of two or the last desired data element of a longer burst. Fol-

PRECHARGE Operation
PRECHARGE Operation
The PRECHARGE command (see Figure 11 (page 30)) is used to deactivate the open row
in a particular bank or the open row in all banks. The bank(s) will be available for a sub-
sequent row access some specified time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE command is is-
sued. Input A10 determines whether one or all banks are to be precharged, and in the
case where only one bank is to be precharged (A10 = LOW), inputs BA0 and BA1 select
the bank. When all banks are to be precharged (A10 = HIGH), inputs BA0 and BA1 are
treated as “Don’t Care.” After a bank has been precharged, it is in the idle state and
must be activated prior to any READ or WRITE commands being issued to that bank.
Auto Precharge
Auto precharge is a feature that performs the same individual-bank PRECHARGE func-
tion described previously, without requiring an explicit command. This is accomplished
by using A10 to enable auto precharge in conjunction with a specific READ or WRITE
command. A precharge of the bank/row that is addressed with the READ or WRITE
command is automatically performed upon completion of the READ or WRITE burst,
except in the continuous page burst mode where auto precharge does not apply. In the
specific case of write burst mode set to single location access with burst length set to
continuous, the burst length setting is the overriding setting and auto precharge does
not apply. Auto precharge is nonpersistent in that it is either enabled or disabled for
each individual READ or WRITE command.
Auto precharge ensures that the precharge is initiated at the earliest valid stage within a
burst. Another command cannot be issued to the same bank until the precharge time
(tRP) is completed. This is determined as if an explicit PRECHARGE command was is-
sued at the earliest possible time, as described for each burst type in the Burst Type
(page 41) section.
Micron SDRAM supports concurrent auto precharge; cases of concurrent auto pre-
charge for READs and WRITEs are defined below.
READ with auto precharge interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge)
A READ to bank m will interrupt a READ on bank n following the programmed CAS la-
tency. The precharge to bank n begins when the READ to bank m is registered (see Fig-
ure 34 (page 63)).
READ with auto precharge interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge)
A WRITE to bank m will interrupt a READ on bank n when registered. DQM should be
used two clocks prior to the WRITE command to prevent bus contention. The pre-
charge to bank n begins when the WRITE to bank m is registered (see Figure 35
(page 64)).
WRITE with auto precharge interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge)
A READ to bank m will interrupt a WRITE on bank n when registered, with the data-out
appearing CL later. The precharge to bank n will begin after tWR is met, where tWR be-
gins when the READ to bank m is registered. The last valid WRITE to bank n will be da-
ta-in registered one clock prior to the READ to bank m (see Figure 40 (page 69)).

Power-Down
Power-Down
Power-down occurs if CKE is registered LOW coincident with a NOP or COMMAND IN-
HIBIT when no accesses are in progress. If power-down occurs when all banks are idle,
this mode is referred to as precharge power-down; if power-down occurs when there is a
row active in any bank, this mode is referred to as active power-down. Entering power-
down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CKE, for maximum power
savings while in standby. The device cannot remain in the power-down state longer
than the refresh period (64ms) because no REFRESH operations are performed in this
mode.
The power-down state is exited by registering a NOP or COMMAND INHIBIT with CKE
HIGH at the desired clock edge (meeting tCKS).

Clock Suspend
Clock Suspend
The clock suspend mode occurs when a column access/burst is in progress and CKE is
registered LOW. In the clock suspend mode, the internal clock is deactivated, freezing
the synchronous logic.
For each positive clock edge on which CKE is sampled LOW, the next internal positive
clock edge is suspended. Any command or data present on the input balls when an in-
ternal clock edge is suspended will be ignored; any data present on the DQ balls re-
mains driven; and burst counters are not incremented, as long as the clock is suspen-
ded.
Exit clock suspend mode by registering CKE HIGH; the internal clock and related opera-
tion will resume on the subsequent positive clock edge.
