7.3.10. No-Operation Command
(
CS = "L", RAS = "H", CAS = "H", WE = "H", CKE, BA0, BA1, A0 to A12 = Don’t Care)
The No-Operation command simply performs no operation (same command as Device Deselect).
7.3.11. Device Deselect Command
(
CS = "H", RAS , CAS , WE , CKE, BA0, BA1, A0 to A12 = Don’t Care)
The Device Deselect command disables the command decoder so that the
RAS , CAS , WE and
Address inputs are ignored. This command is similar to the No-Operation command.
7.4. Read and Write access modes
The DDR2 SDRAM provides a fast column access operation. A single Read or Write Command will
initiate a serial read or write operation on successive clock cycles. The boundary of the burst cycle is
strictly restricted to specific segments of the page length.
The page length of 1024 is divided into 256 or 128 uniquely addressable boundary segments
depending on burst length, 256 for 4 bit burst, 128 for 8 bit burst respectively. A 4-bit or 8-bit burst
operation will occur entirely within one of the 256 or 128 groups beginning with the column address
supplied to the device during the Read or Write Command (CA0-CA9, CA11). The second, third and
fourth access will also occur within this group segment. However, the burst order is a function of the
starting address, and the burst sequence.
A new burst access must not interrupt the previous 4 bit burst operation in case of BL = 4 setting.
However, in case of BL = 8 setting, two cases of interrupt by a new burst access are allowed, one
reads interrupted by a read, the other writes interrupted by a write with 4 bit burst boundary
respectively. The minimum
CAS to CAS delay is defined by tCCD, and is a minimum of 2 clocks for
read or write cycles.

CAS operation is supported to make command and data bus efficient for sustainable
bandwidths in DDR2 SDRAM. In this operation, the DDR2 SDRAM allows a
CAS read or write
command to be issued immediately after the
RAS bank activate command (or any time during the
RAS - CAS -delay time, tRCD, period). The command is held for the time of the Additive Latency (AL)
before it is issued inside the device. The Read Latency (RL) is controlled by the sum of AL and the
CAS Latency (CL). Therefore if a user chooses to issue a Read/Write command before the tRCDmin,
then AL (greater than 0) must be written into the EMR (1). The Write Latency (WL) is always defined
as RL -1 (Read Latency -1) where Read Latency is defined as the sum of Additive Latency plus CAS
Latency (RL = AL + CL). Read or Write operations using AL allow seamless bursts. (Example timing
waveforms refer to 10.11 and 10.12 seamless burst read/write operation diagram in Chapter 10)
7.4.1.1. Examples of posted CAS operation
Examples of a read followed by a write to the same bank where AL = 2 and where AL = 0 are shown
in Figures 14 and 15, respectively.
