DEVICE OPERATIONS
Power On and Initialization
The default power on state of the mode register is supplier specific and may be undefined. The following power on and initialization
sequence guarantees the device is preconditioned to each users specific needs.
Like a conventional DRAM, the Synchronous DRAM must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. During power on, all VDD
and VDDQ pins must be built up simultaneously to the specified voltage when the input signals are held in the "NOP" state. The power on
voltage must not exceed VDD+0.3V on any of the input pins or VDD supplies. The CLK signal must be started at the same time. After power
on, an initial pause of 200s is required followed by a precharge of all banks using the precharge command. To prevent data contention on
the DQ bus during power on, it is required that the DQM and CKE pins be held high during the initial pause period. Once all banks have
been precharged, the Mode Register Set Command must be issued to initialize the Mode Register. A minimum of eight Auto Refresh cycles
(CBR) are also required. These may be done before or after programming the Mode Register. Failure to follow these steps may lead to
unpredictable start-up modes.
Programming the Mode Register
For application flexibility, /CAS latency, burst length, burst sequence, and operation type are user defined variables and must be
programmed into the SDRAM Mode Register with a single Mode Register Set Command. Any content of the Mode Register can be altered
by re-executing the Mode Register Set Command. If the user chooses to modify only a subset of the Mode Register variables, all four
variables must be redefined when the Mode Register Set Command is issued.
After initial power up, the Mode Register Set Command must be issued before read or write cycles may begin. All banks must be in a
precharged state and CKE must be high at least one cycle before the Mode Register Set Command can be issued. The Mode Register Set
Command is activated by the low signals of /RAS, /CAS, /CS, and /WE at the positive edge of the clock. The address input data during this
cycle defines the parameters to be set as shown in the Mode Register Operation table. A new command may be issued following the mode
register set command once a delay equal to tRSC has elapsed.
/CAS Latency
The /CAS latency is a parameter that is used to define the delay from when a Read Command is registered on a rising clock edge to when
the data from that Read Command becomes available at the outputs. The /CAS latency is expressed in terms of clock cycles and can have
a value of 2 or 3 cycles. The value of the /CAS latency is determined by the speed grade of the device and the clock frequency that is used
in the application. A table showing the relationship between the /CAS latency, speed grade, and clock frequency appears in the Electrical
Characteristics section of this document. Once the appropriate /CAS latency has been selected it must be programmed into the mode
register after power up, for an explanation of this procedure see Programming the Mode Register in the previous section.
