ROW-to-ROW Interaction
(cont’d)
Cases RR13 through RR16 summarize the combinations of two successive PRER commands. In
case RR13 there is no restriction since two devices are addressed. In RR14,
t
PP
applies, since the
same device is addressed. In RR15 and RR16, the same bank or an adjacent bank may be given
repeated PRER commands with only the
t
PP
restriction.
Two adjacent banks can’t be activate simultaneously. A precharge command to one bank will thus
affect the state of the adjacent banks (and sense amps). If bank Ba is activate and a PRER is
directed to Ba, then bank Ba will be precharged along with sense amps Ba-1/Ba and Ba/Ba+1. If
bank Ba+1 is activate and a PRER is directed to Ba, then bank Ba+1 will be precharged along with
sense amps Ba/Ba+1 and Ba+1/Ba+2. If bank Ba-1 is activate and a PRER is directed to Ba, then
bank Ba-1 will be precharged along with sense amps Ba/Ba-1 and Ba-1/Ba-2.
A ROW packet may contain commands other than ACT or PRER. The REFA and REFP commands
are equivalent to ACT and PRER for interaction analysis purposes. The interaction rules of the
NAPR, NAPRC, PDNR, RLXR, ATTN, TCAL, and TCEN commands are discussed in later sections
(see
Table 8
for cross-ref).
