Request Packets
A
request packet
carries address and control information to
the memory device. This section contains tables and diagrams
for packet formats, field encodings and packet interactions.
Request Packet Formats
There are five types of request packets:
1.
ROWA
—
specifies an ACT command
2.
COL
—
specifies RD and WR commands
3.
COLM
—
specifies a WRM command
4.
ROWP
—
specifies PRE and REF commands
5.
COLX
—
specifies the remaining commands
Table 2 describes fields within different request packet types.
Various request packet type formats are illustrated in Figure 3.
Each packet type consists of 24 bits sampled on the RQ11..0
pins on two successive edges of the CFM/CFMN clock. The
request packet formats are distinguished by the OP3..0 field.
This field also specifies the operation code of the desired com-
mand.
In the ROWA packet, a bank address (BA), row address (R),
and command delay (DELA) are specified for the activate
(ACT) command.
In the COL packet, a bank address (BC), column address (C),
sub-column address (SC), command delay (DELC), and sub-
opcode (WRX) are specified for the read (RD) and write (WR)
commands.
In the COLM packet, a bank address (BC), column address
(C), sub-column address (SC), and mask field (M) are specified
for the masked write (WRM) command.
In the ROWP packet, two independent commands may be
specified. A bank address (BP) and sub-opcode (POP) are
specified for the precharge (PRE) commands. An address field
(RA) and sub-opcode (ROP) are specified for the refresh
(REF) commands.
In the COLX packet, a sub-operation code field (XOP) is spec-
ified for the remaining commands.
