256Mb (4-Meg X 16-Bit X 4-Banks) SDRAM
03.25.04 Rev 3
Refresh
Auto-Refresh: All the banks must be precharged before executing an auto-refresh command. Since the
auto-refresh command updates the internal counter every time it is executed and determines the banks and
the ROW addresses to be refreshed, external address specification is not required. The refresh cycle is
8192 cycles/6.4 ms. (8192 cycles are requires to refresh all the ROW addresses.) The output buffer
becomes High-Z after auto-refresh start. In addition, since a precharge has been completed by an internal
operation after the auto-refresh, an additional precharge operation by the precharge command is not
required.
Self-refresh1: After executing a self-refresh command, the self-refresh operation continues while CKE is
held Low. During self-refresh operation, all ROW addresses are refreshed by the internal refresh timer. A
self-refresh is terminated by a self-refresh exit command. Before and after self-refresh mode, execute auto-
refresh to all refresh addresses in or within 6.4 ms period on the condition (1) and (2) below.
(1) Enter self-refresh mode within 7.8 us after either burst refresh or distributed refresh at equal interval until
all refresh addresses are completed.
(2) Start burst refresh or distributed refresh at equal interval to all refresh addreses within 7.8 us after exiting
from self-refresh mode.
Others
Power-down mode: The SDRAM enters power-down mode when CKE goes Low in the IDLE state. In
power-down mode, power consumption is suppressed by deactivating the input initial circuit. Power-down
mode continues while CKE is held Low. In addition, by setting CKE to High, the SDRAM exits from the
power-down mode, and command input is enabled from the next clock. In this mode, internal refresh is not
performed.
Clock suspend mode: By driving CKE to Low during a bank-active or read/write operation, the SDRAM
enters clock suspend mode. During clock suspend mode, external input signals are ignored and the internal
state is maintained. When CKE is driven High, the SDRAM terminates clock suspend mode, and command
input is enabled from the next clock. For more details, refer to the “CKE Truth Table”.
Power-up sequence: The SDRAM should use the following sequence during power-up:
The CLK, CKE, CS, DQMU/DQML and DQ pins stay low until power stabilizes.
The CLK pin is stable within 100ms after power stabilizes before the following initialization sequence.
The CKE and DQMU/DQML is driven high between when power stabilizes and the initialization sequence.
This SDRAM has V
CC clamp diodes for CLK, CKE, CS, DQMU/DQML and DQ pins. If these pins go high
before power up, the large current flows from these pins to V
CC through the diodes.
