256-/512-bit compatibility of split-register programmable stop point
The stop-point mode is designed to be compatible with both 256-bit SAM and 512-bit SAM devices. After the
CBRS cycle is initiated, the stop-point mode becomes active. In the stop-point mode, column-address bits AY7
and AY8 are internally swapped to assure compatibility (see Figure 25). This address-bit swap applies to the
column address and is effective for all DRAM and transfer cycles. For example, during the split-register-transfer
cycle with stop point, column-address bit AY8 is a don’t care and AY7 decodes the DRAM row half for the
split-register-transfer. During stop-point mode, a CBR (option reset) cycle is not recommended because this
ends the stop-point mode and restores address bits AY7 and AY8 to their normal functions. Consistent use of
CBR cycles ensures that the SMJ55166 remains in normal mode.

IMPORTANT: For proper device operation, a stop-point-mode (CBRS) cycle should be initiated immediately
after the power-up initialization cycles are performed.
power up
To achieve proper device operation, an initial pause of 200
μ
s is required after power up followed by a minimum
of eight RAS cycles or eight CBR cycles to initialize the DRAM port. A full-register-transfer read cycle and two
SC cycles are required to initialize the SAM port.
After initialization, the internal state of the SMJ55166 is as follows:
