GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FOR 4M x 16Bit x 4 Bank gDDR2 SDRAM
The 256Mb gDDR2 SDRAM chip is organized as 4Mbit x 16 I/O x 4banks banks device. This synchronous device achieve high speed graphic double-data-rate transfer rates of up to 1000Mb/sec/pin for general applications. The chip is designed to comply with the following key gDDR2 SDRAM features such as posted CAS with additive latency, write latency = read latency - 1, Off-Chip Driver(OCD) impedance adjustment and On Die Termination. All of the control and address inputs are synchronized with a pair of externally supplied differential clocks. Inputs are latched at the cross point of differential clocks (CK rising and CK falling). All I/Os are synchronized with a pair of bidirectional strobes (DQS and DQS) in a source synchronous fashion. A thirteen bit address bus is used to convey row, column, and bank address information in a RAS/CAS multiplexing style. For example, 256Mb(x16) device receive 13/9/2 addressing. The 256Mb gDDR2 devices operate with a single 1.8V 0.1V power supply and 1.8V 0.1V VDDQ. The 256Mb gDDR2 devices are available in 84ball FBGAs(x16).
Note : The functionality described and the timing specifications included in this data sheet are for the DLL Enabled mode of operation.

INPUT/OUTPUT FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Symbol CK, CK Type Input Function
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
Clock: CK and CK are differential clock inputs. CMD, ADD inputs are sampled on the crossing of the positive edge of CK and negative edge of CK. Output (read) data is referenced to the crossings of CK and CK (both directions of crossing). Clock Enable: CKE HIGH activates, and CKE Low deactivates, internal clock signals and device input buffers and output drivers. Taking CKE Low provides Precharge Power-Down and Self Refresh operation (all banks idle), or Active Power-Down (row Active in any bank). CKE is synchronous for power down entry and exit, and for self refresh entry. CKE is asynchronous for self refresh exit. CKE must be maintained high throughout read and write accesses. Input buffers, excluding CK, CK and CKE are disabled during power-down. Input buffers, excluding CKE, are disabled during self refresh. Chip Select: All commands are masked when CS is registered HIGH. CS provides for external bank selection on systems with multiple banks. CS is considered part of the command code. On Die Termination: ODT (registered HIGH) enables termination resistance internal to the gDDR2 SDRAM. When enabled, ODT is only applied to each DQ, UDQS/UDQS, LDQS/LDQS, UDM, and LDM signal for x16 configurations. The ODT pin will be ignored if the Extended Mode Register (EMRS) is programmed to disable ODT. Command Inputs: RAS, CAS and WE (along with CS) define the command being entered. Input Data Mask: DM is an input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked when DM is sampled HIGH coincident with that input data during a Write access. DM is sampled on both edges of DQS. Although DM pins are input only, the DM loading matches the DQ and DQS loading. Bank Address Inputs: BA0 and BA1 define to which bank an Actove, Read, Write or Precharge command is being applied. BA0 also determines if the mode register or extended mode register is to be accessed during a MRS or EMRS cycle. Address Inputs: Provided the row address for Active commands and the column address and Auto Precharge bit for Read/Write commands to select one location out of the memory array in the respective bank. A10 is sampled during a Precharge command to determine whether the Precharge applies to one bank (A10 LOW) or all banks (A10 HIGH). If only one bank is to be precharged, the bank is selected by BA0, BA1. The address inputs also provide the op-code during Mode Register Set commands.

Input/ Data Input/ Output: Bi-directional data bus. Output Data Strobe: output with read data, input with write data. Edge-aligned with read data, centered in write data. LDQS corresponds to the data on DQ0-DQ7; UDQS corresponds to the data on DQ8-DQ15. The Input/ data strobes LDQS and UDQS may be used in single ended mode or paired with optional complementary Output signals LDQS and UDQS to provide differential pair signaling to the system during both reads and writes. An EMRS(1) control bit enables or disables all complementary data strobe signals. No Connect: No internal electrical connection is present.

There is no specific device VDD supply voltage requirement for SSTL-1.8 compliance. However under all conditions VDDQ must be less than or equal to VDD. 1. The value of VREF may be selected by the user to provide optimum noise margin in the system. Typically the value of VREF is expected to be about 0.5 x VDDQ of the transmitting device and VREF is expected to track variations in VDDQ. 2. Peak to peak AC noise on VREF may not exceed +/-2% VREF(DC). 3. VTT of transmitting device must track VREF of receiving device. 4. AC parameters are measured with VDD, VDDQ and VDDDL tied together.

Notes: 1. Absolute Specifications (0C TCASE +95C; VDD = +1.8V 0.1V, VDDQ = +1.8V 0.1V) 2. Impedance measurement condition for output source dc current: VDDQ = 1.7V; VOUT = 1420mV; (VOUT-VDDQ)/Ioh must be less than 23.4 ohms for values of VOUT between VDDQ and VDDQ280mV. Impedance measurement condition for output sink dc current: VDDQ = 1.7V; VOUT = 280mV; VOUT/Iol must be less than 23.4 ohms for values of VOUT between 0V and 280mV. 3. Mismatch is absolute value between pull-up and pull-dn, both are measured at same temperature and voltage. 4. Slew rate measured from VIL(AC) to VIH(AC). 5. The absolute value of the slew rate as measured from DC to DC is equal to or greater than the slew rate as measured from AC to AC. This is guaranteed by design and characterization. 6. This represents the step size when the OCD is near 18 ohms at nominal conditions across all process and represents only the DRAM uncertainty. Output slew rate load :

General notes, which may apply for all AC parameters
1. Slew Rate Measurement Levels a. Output slew rate for falling and rising edges is measured between VTT - 250 mV and VTT + 250 mV for single ended signals. For differential signals (e.g. DQS - DQS) output slew rate is measured between DQS - DQS = -500 mV and DQS - DQS = +500mV. Output slew rate is guaranteed by design, but is not necessarily tested on each device. b. Input slew rate for single ended signals is measured from dc-level to ac-level: from VREF - 125 mV to VREF + 250 mV for rising edges and from VREF + 125 mV and VREF - 250 mV for falling edges. For differential signals (e.g. CK - CK) slew rate for rising edges is measured from CK - CK = -250 mV to CK - CK = +500 mV (250mV to -500 mV for falling egdes). c. VID is the magnitude of the difference between the input voltage on CK and the input voltage on CK, or between DQS and DQS for differential strobe. 2. gDDR2 SDRAM AC timing reference load Following figure represents the timing reference load used in defining the relevant timing parameters of the part. It is not intended to be either a precise representation of the typical system environment or a depiction of the actual load presented by a production tester. System designers will use IBIS or other simulation tools to correlate the timing reference load to a system environment. Manufacturers will correlate to their production test conditions (generally a coaxial transmission line terminated at the tester electronics).

4. Differential data strobe gDDR2 SDRAM pin timings are specified for either single ended mode or differential mode depending on the setting of the EMRS "Enable DQS" mode bit; timing advantages of differential mode are realized in system design. The method by which the gDDR2 SDRAM pin timings are measured is mode dependent. In single ended mode, timing relationships are measured relative to the rising or falling edges of DQS crossing at VREF. In differential mode, these timing relationships are measured relative to the crosspoint of DQS and its complement, DQS. This distinction in timing methods is guaranteed by design and characterization. Note that when differential data strobe mode is disabled via the EMRS, the complementary pin, DQS, must be tied externally to VSS through a 20 ohm to 10 K ohm resisor to insure proper operation.

User can choose which active power down exit timing to use via MRS(bit 12). tXARD is expected to be used for fast active power down exit timing. tXARDS is expected to be used for slow active power down exit timing. 10. AL = Additive Latency 11. This is a minimum requirement. Minimum read to precharge timing is AL + BL/2 providing the tRTP and tRAS(min) have been satisfied. 12. A minimum of two clocks (2 * tCK) is required irrespective of operating frequency 13. Timings are guaranteed with command/address input slew rate of 1.0 V/ns. 14. These parameters guarantee device behavior, but they are not necessarily tested on each device. They may be guaranteed by device design or tester correlation. 15. Timings are guaranteed with data, mask, and (DQS in singled ended mode) input slew rate of 1.0 V/ns. 16. Timings are guaranteed with CK/CK differential slew rate of 2.0 V/ns. Timings are guaranteed for DQS signals with a differential slew rate of 2.0 V/ns in differential strobe mode and a slew rate of 1V/ns in single ended mode. 17. tDS and tDH (data setup and hold) derating 1) Input waveform timing is referenced from the input signal crossing at the VIH(AC) level for a rising signal and VIL(AC) for a falling signal applied to the device under test. 2) Input waveform timing is referenced from the input signal crossing at the VIH(DC) level for a rising signal and VIL(DC) for a falling signal applied to the device under test.

19. The maximum limit for this parameter is not a device limit. The device will operate with a greater value for this parameter, but system performance (bus turnaround) will degrade accordingly. 20. MIN ( tCL, tCH) refers to the smaller of the actual clock low time and the actual clock high time as provided to the device (i.e. this value can be greater than the minimum specification limits for tCL and tCH). For example, tCL and tCH are = 50% of the period, less the half period jitter ( tJIT(HP)) of the clock source, and less the half period jitter due to crosstalk ( tJIT(crosstalk)) into the clock traces. 21. tQH = tHP - tQHS, where: tHP = minimum half clock period for any given cycle and is defined by clock high or clock low ( tCH, tCL). tQHS accounts for: 1) The pulse duration distortion of on-chip clock circuits; and 2) The worst case push-out of DQS on one transition followed by the worst case pull-in of DQ on the next transition, both of which are, separately, due to data pin skew and output pattern effects, and p-channel to n-channel variation of the output drivers. 22. tDQSQ: Consists of data pin skew and output pattern effects, and p-channel to n-channel variation of the output drivers as well as output slew rate mismatch between DQS / DQS and associated DQ in any given cycle. 23. tDAL = (nWR) + ( tRP/tCK): For each of the terms above, if not already an integer, round to the next highest integer. tCK refers to the application clock period. nWR refers to the tWR parameter stored in the MRS. Example: For gDDR533 at t CK = 3.75 ns with tWR programmed to 4 clocks. tDAL = 4 + (15 ns / 3.75 ns) clocks =4 +(4)clocks=8clocks.

24. The clock frequency is allowed to change during self-refresh mode or precharge power-down mode. In case of clock frequency change during precharge power-down, a specific procedure is required as described in gDDR2 device operation 25. ODT turn on time min is when the device leaves high impedance and ODT resistance begins to turn on. ODT turn on time max is when the ODT resistance is fully on. Both are measured from tAOND. 26. ODT turn off time min is when the device starts to turn off ODT resistance. ODT turn off time max is when the bus is in high impedance. Both are measured from tAOFD. 27. tHZ and tLZ transitions occur in the same access time as valid data transitions. These parameters are referenced to a specific voltage level which specifies when the device output is no longer driving (tHZ), or begins driving (tLZ) . Following figure shows a method to calculate the point when device is no longer driving (tHZ), or begins driving (tLZ) by measuring the signal at two different voltages. The actual voltage measurement points are not critical as long as the calculation is consistent. 28. tRPST end point and tRPRE begin point are not referenced to a specific voltage level but specify when the device output is no longer driving (tRPST), or begins driving (tRPRE). Following figure shows a method to calculate these points when the device is no longer driving (tRPST), or begins driving (tRPRE) by measuring the signal at two different voltages. The actual voltage measurement points are not critical as long as the calculation is consistent.

Basic Functionality
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
Read and write accesses to the gDDR2 SDRAM are burst oriented; accesses start at a selected location and continue for a burst length of four or eight in a programmed sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of an Active command, which is then followed by a Read or Write command. The address bits registered coincident with the active command are used to select the bank and row to be accessed (BA0, BA1 select the bank; A0-A12 select the row). The address bits registered coincident with the Read or Write command are used to select the starting column location for the burst access and to determine if the auto precharge command is to be issued. Prior to normal operation, the gDDR2 SDRAM must be initialized. The following sections provide detailed information covering device initialization, register definition, command descriptions and device operation.
Power up and Initialization
gDDR2 SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. Operational procedures other than those specified may result in undefined operation. Power-up and Initialization Sequence The following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization. 1. Apply power and attempt to maintain CKE below 0.2*VDDQ and ODT*1 at a low state (all other inputs may be undefined.) The power voltage ramps are without any slope reversal, ramp time must be no greater than 20mS; and during the ramp, VDD>VDDL>VDDQ and VDD-VDDQ<0.3 volts. - VDD, VDDL and VDDQ are driven from a single power converter output, AND - VTT is limited to 0.95 V max, AND - Vref tracks VDDQ/2. or - Apply VDD before or at the same time as VDDL. - Apply VDDL before or at the same time as VDDQ. - Apply VDDQ before or at the same time as VTT & VREF. at least one of these two sets of conditions must be met. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Start clock and maintain stable condition. For the minimum of 200s after stable power and clock(CK, CK), then apply NOP or deselect & take CKE high. Wait minimum of 400ns then issue precharge all command. NOP or deselect applied during 400ns period. Issue EMRS(2) command. (To issue EMRS(2) command, provide "Low" to BA0, "High" to BA1.) Issue EMRS(3) command. (To issue EMRS(3) command, provide "High" to BA0 and BA1.) Issue EMRS to enable DLL. (To issue "DLL Enable" command, provide "Low" to A0, "High" to BA0 and "Low" to BA1 and A12.) Issue a Mode Register Set command for "DLL reset". (To issue DLL reset command, provide "High" to A8 and "Low" to BA0-1) Issue precharge all command. Issue 2 or more auto-refresh commands. Issue a mode register set command with low to A8 to initialize device operation. (i.e. to program operating parameters without resetting the DLL. At least 200 clocks after step 8, execute OCD Calibration ( Off Chip Driver impedance adjustment ). If OCD calibration is not used, EMRS OCD Default command (A9=A8= A7=1) followed by EMRS OCD

1. Calibration Mode Exit command (A9=A8=A7=0) must be issued with other operating parameters of EMRS. 2. The gDDR2 SDRAM is now ready for normal operation. *1) To guarantee ODT off, VREF must be valid and a low level must be applied to the ODT pin.

Programming the Mode Register
For application flexibility, burst length, burst type, CAS latency, DLL reset function, write recovery time(tWR) are user defined variables and must be programmed with a Mode Register Set (MRS) command. Additionally, DLL disable function, driver impedance, additive CAS latency, ODT(On Die Termination), single-ended strobe, and OCD(off chip driver impedance adjustment) are also user defined variables and must be programmed with an Extended Mode Register Set (EMRS) command. Contents of the Mode Register(MR) or Extended Mode Registers(EMR(#)) can be altered by re-executing the MRS and EMRS Commands. If the user chooses to modify only a subset of the MRS or EMRS variables, all variables must be redefined when the MRS or EMRS commands are issued. MRS, EMRS and Reset DLL do not affect array contents, which means reinitialization including those can be executed any time after power-up without affecting array contents.

gDDR2 SDRAM Mode Register Set (MRS)
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of gDDR2 SDRAM. It controls CAS latency, burst length, burst sequence, test mode, DLL reset, tWR and various vendor specific options to make gDDR2 SDRAM useful for various applications. The default value of the mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register must be written after power-up for proper operation. The mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS, WE, BA0 and BA1, while controlling the state of address pins A0 ~ A15. The gDDR2 SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register. The mode register set command cycle time (tMRD) is required to complete the write operation to the mode register. The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during normal operation as long as all banks are in the precharge state. The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. Burst length is defined by A0 ~ A2 with options of 4 and 8 bit burst lengths. The burst length decodes are compatible with gDDR SDRAM. Burst address sequence type is defined by A3, CAS latency is defined by A4 ~ A6. The gDDR2 doesn't support half clock latency mode. A7 is used for test mode. A8 is used for DLL reset. A7 must be set to low for normal MRS operation. Write recovery time tWR is defined by A9 ~ A11. Refer to the table for specific codes.

WR in clock cycles is calculated by dividing tWR (in ns) by tCK (in ns) and rounding up a non-integer value to the next integer (WR[cycles] = tWR(ns)/tCK(ns)). The mode register must be programmed to this value. This is also used with tRP to determine tDAL.

gDDR2 SDRAM Extended Mode Register Set
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
EMRS(1)
The extended mode register(1) stores the data for enabling or disabling the DLL, output driver strength, ODT value selection and additive latency. The default value of the extended mode register is not defined, therefore the extended mode register must be written after power-up for proper operation. The extended mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS, WE and high on BA0, while controlling the states of address pins A0 ~ A12. The gDDR2 SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the extended mode register. The mode register set command cycle time (tMRD) must be satisfied to complete the write operation to the extended mode register. Mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during normal operation as long as all banks are in the precharge state. A0 is used for DLL enable or disable. A1 is used for enabling a half strength data-output driver. A3~A5 determines the additive latency, A2 and A6 are used for ODT value selection, A7~A9 are used for OCD control, A10 is used for DQS# disable.
DLL Enable/Disable
The DLL must be enabled for normal operation. DLL enable is required during power up initialization, and upon returning to normal operation after having the DLL disabled. The DLL is automatically disabled when entering self refresh operation and is automatically re-enabled upon exit of self refresh operation. Any time the DLL is enabled (and subsequently reset), 200 clock cycles must occur before a Read command can be issued to allow time for the internal clock to be synchronized with the external clock. Failing to wait for synchronization to occur may result in a violation of the tAC or tDQSCK parameters.

Extended Mode Register Set for OCD impedance adjustment
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
OCD impedance adjustment can be done using the following EMRS mode. In drive mode all outputs are driven out by gDDR2 SDRAM and drive of DQS is dependent on EMRS bit enabling DQS operation. In Drive(1) mode, all DQ, DQS signals are driven high and all DQS signals are driven low. In drive(0) mode, all DQ, DQS signals are driven low and all DQS signals are driven high. In adjust mode, BL = 4 of operation code data must be used. In case of OCD calibration default, output driver characteristics have a nominal impedance value of 18 ohms during nominal temperature and voltage conditions. Output driver characteristics for OCD calibration default are specified in section 6. OCD applies only to normal full strength output drive setting defined by EMRS(1) and if half strength is set, OCD default output driver characteristics are not applicable. When OCD calibration adjust mode is used, OCD default output driver characteristics are not applicable. After OCD calibration is completed or driver strength is set to default, subsequent EMRS commands not intended to adjust OCD characteristics must specify A9-A7 as '000' in order to maintain the default or calibrated value.

OCD impedance adjust
To adjust output driver impedance, controllers must issue the ADJUST EMRS command along with a 4bit burst code to gDDR2 SDRAM as in the folowing table. For this operation, Burst Length has to be set to BL = 4 via MRS command before activating OCD and controllers must drive this burst code to all DQs at the same time. DT0 in the following table means all DQ bits at bit time 0, DT1 at bit time 1, and so forth. The driver output impedance is adjusted for all gDDR2 SDRAM DQs simultaneously and after OCD calibration, all DQs of a given gDDR2 SDRAM will be adjusted to the same driver strength setting. The maximum step count for adjustment is 16 and when the limit is reached, further increment or decrement code has no effect. The default setting may be any step within the 16 step range. When Adjust mode command is issued, AL from previously set value must be applied

ODT (On Die Termination)
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
On Die Termination (ODT) is a feature that allows a DRAM to turn on/off termination resistance. For x16 configuration ODT is applied to each DQ, UDQS/UDQS, LDQS/LDQS, UDM, and LDM signal via the ODT control pin. The ODT feature is designed to improve signal integrity of the memory channel by allowing the DRAM controller to independently turn on/off termination resistance for any or all DRAM devices. The ODT function is supported for ACTIVE and STANDBY modes, and turned off and not supported in SELF REFRESH mode.

Bank Activate Command
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
The Bank Activate command is issued by holding CAS and WE high with CS and RAS low at the rising edge of the clock. The bank addresses BA0 and BA1 are used to select the desired bank. The row address A0 through A12 is used to determine which row to activate in the selected bank. The Bank Activate command must be applied before any Read or Write operation can be executed. Immediately after the bank active command, the gDDR2 SDRAM can accept a read or write command on the following clock cycle. If a R/W command is issued to a bank that has not satisfied the tRCDmin specification, then additive latency must be programmed into the device to delay when the R/W command is internally issued to the device. The additive latency value must be chosen to assure tRCDmin is satisfied. Additive latencies of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are supported. Once a bank has been activated it must be precharged before another Bank Activate command can be applied to the same bank. The bank active and precharge times are defined as tRAS and tRP, respectively. The minimum time interval between successive Bank Activate commands to the same bank is determined by the RAS cycle time of the device (tRC). The minimum time interval between Bank Activate commands is tRRD.

Read and Write Access Modes
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
After a bank has been activated, a read or write cycle can be executed. This is accomplished by setting RAS high, CS and CAS low at the clock's rising edge. WE must also be defined at this time to determine whether the access cycle is a read operation (WE high) or a write operation (WE low). The gDDR2 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. For example, the 32Mbit x 4 I/O x 4 Bank chip has a page length of 2048 bits (defined by CA0-CA9, CA11). The page length of 2048 is divided into 512 or 256 uniquely addressable boundary segments depending on burst length, 512 for 4 bit burst, 256 for 8 bit burst respectively. A 4-bit or 8 bit burst operation will occur entirely within one of the 512 or 256 groups beginning with the column address supplied to the device during the Read or Write Command (CA0CA9, 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 boundry respectively. The minimum CAS to CAS delay is defined by tCCD, and is a minimum of 2 clocks for read or write cycles.

Posted CAS
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
Posted CAS operation is supported to make command and data bus efficient for sustainable bandwidths in gDDR2 SDRAM. In this operation, the gDDR2 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 R/W 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 (refer to seamless operation timing diagram examples in Read burst and Write burst section)

Burst Mode Operation
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
Burst mode operation is used to provide a constant flow of data to memory locations (write cycle), or from memory locations (read cycle). The parameters that define how the burst mode will operate are burst sequence and burst length. gDDR2 SDRAM supports 4 bit burst and 8 bit burst modes only. For 8 bit burst mode, full interleave address ordering is supported, however, sequential address ordering is nibble based for ease of implementation. The burst type, either sequential or interleaved, is programmable and defined by the address bit 3 (A3) of the MRS, which is similar to the DDR SDRAM operation. Seamless burst read or write operations are supported. Unlike DDR devices, interruption of a burst read or write cycle during BL = 4 mode operation is prohibited. However in case of BL = 8 mode, interruption of a burst read or write operation is limited to two cases, reads interrupted by a read, or writes interrupted by a write. Therefore the Burst Stop command is not supported on gDDR2 SDRAM devices.

Burst Read Command
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
The Burst Read command is initiated by having CS and CAS low while holding RAS and WE high at the rising edge of the clock. The address inputs determine the starting column address for the burst. The delay from the start of the command to when the data from the first cell appears on the outputs is equal to the value of the read latency (RL). The data strobe output (DQS) is driven low 1 clock cycle before valid data (DQ) is driven onto the data bus. The first bit of the burst is synchronized with the rising edge of the data strobe (DQS). Each subsequent data-out appears on the DQ pin in phase with the DQS signal in a source synchronous manner. The RL is equal to an additive latency (AL) plus CAS latency (CL). The CL is defined by the Mode Register Set (MRS), similar to the existing SDR and DDR SDRAMs. The AL is defined by the Extended Mode Register Set (1)(EMRS(1)). gDDR2 SDRAM pin timings are specified for either single ended mode or differen-tial mode depending on the setting of the EMRS "Enable DQS" mode bit; timing advantages of differential mode are realized in system design. The method by which the gDDR2 SDRAM pin timings are measured is mode dependent. In single ended mode, timing relationships are measured relative to the rising or falling edges of DQS crossing at VREF. In differential mode, these timing relationships are measured relative to the crosspoint of DQS and its complement, DQS. This distinction in timing methods is guaranteed by design and characterization. Note that when differential data strobe mode is disabled via the EMRS, the complementary pin, DQS, must be tied externally to VSS through a 20 ohm to 10 Kohm resistor to insure proper operation.

Any other Read burst interrupt timings are prohibited. 4. Read burst interruption is allowed to any bank inside DRAM. 5. Read burst with Auto Precharge enabled is not allowed to interrupt. 6. Read burst interruption is allowed by another Read with Auto Precharge command. 7. All command timings are referenced to burst length set in the mode register.

Burst Write Operation
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
The Burst Write command is initiated by having CS, CAS and WE low while holding RAS high at the rising edge of the clock. The address inputs determine the starting column address. Write latency (WL) is defined by a read latency (RL) minus one and is equal to (AL + CL -1). A data strobe signal (DQS) should be driven low (preamble) one clock prior to the WL. The first data bit of the burst cycle must be applied to the DQ pins at the first rising edge of the DQS following the preamble. The tDQSS specification must be satisfied for write cycles. The subsequent burst bit data are issued on successive edges of the DQS until the burst length is completed, which is 4 or 8 bit burst. When the burst has finished, any additional data supplied to the DQ pins will be ignored. The DQ Signal is ignored after the burst write operation is complete. The time from the completion of the burst write to bank precharge is the write recovery time (WR). gDDR2 SDRAM pin timings are specified for either single ended mode or differen-tial mode depending on the setting of the EMRS "Enable DQS" mode bit; timing advantages of differential mode are realized in system design. The method by which the gDDR2 SDRAM pin timings are measured is mode dependent. In single ended mode, timing relationships are measured relative to the rising or falling edges of DQS crossing at VREF. In differential mode, these timing relationships are measured relative to the crosspoint of DQS and its complement, DQS. This distinction in timing methods is guaranteed by design and characterization. Note that when differential data strobe mode is disabled via the EMRS, the complementary pin, DQS, must be tied externally to VSS through a 20 ohm to 10K ohm resistor to insure proper operation.

Write burst interruption by Read command or Precharge command is prohibited. 3. Write burst interrupt must occur exactly two clocks after previous Write command. Any other Write burst interrupt timings are prohibited. 4. Write burst interruption is allowed to any bank inside DRAM. 5. Write burst with Auto Precharge enabled is not allowed to interrupt. 6. Write burst interruption is allowed by another Write with Auto Precharge command. 7. All command timings are referenced to burst length set in the mode register. They are not referenced to actual burst. For example, minimum Write to Precharge timing is WL+BL/2+tWR where tWR starts with the rising clock after the un-interrupted burst end and not from the end of actual burst end.

Precharge Command
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
The Precharge Command is used to precharge or close a bank that has been activated. The Precharge Command is triggered when CS, RAS and WE are low and CAS is high at the rising edge of the clock. The Precharge Command can be used to precharge each bank independently or all banks simultaneously. Three address bits A10, BA0 and BA1 for 256Mb are used to define which bank to precharge when the command is issued.
Bank Selection for Precharge by Address Bits
A10 LOW LOW LOW LOW HIGH BA1 LOW LOW HIGH HIGH DON'T CARE BA0 LOW HIGH LOW HIGH DON'T CARE Precharged Bank(s) Bank 0 only Bank 1 only Bank 2 only Bank 3 only All Banks Remarks
Burst Read Operation Followed by Precharge
Minimum Read to precharge command spacing to the same bank = AL + BL/2 clocks. For the earliest possible precharge, the precharge command may be issued on the rising edge which is "Additive latency(AL) + BL/2 clocks" after a Read command. A new bank active (command) may be issued to the same bank after the RAS precharge time (tRP). A precharge command cannot be issued until tRAS is satisfied. The minimum Read to Precharge spacing has also to satisfy a minimum analog time from the rising clock edge that initiates the last 4-bit prefetch of a Read to Precharge command. This time is called tRTP (Read to Precharge). For BL = 4 this is the time from the actual read (AL after the Read command) to Precharge command. For BL = 8 this is the time from AL + 2 clocks after the Read to the Precharge command.

Burst Write followed by Precharge
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
Minimum Write to Precharge Command spacing to the same bank = WL + BL/2 clks + tWR For write cycles, a delay must be satisfied from the completion of the last burst write cycle until the Precharge Command can be issued. This delay is known as a write recovery time (tWR) referenced from the completion of the burst write to the precharge command. No Precharge command should be issued prior to the tWR delay.

Auto-Precharge Operation
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
Before a new row in an active bank can be opened, the active bank must be precharged using either the Precharge Command or the auto-precharge function. When a Read or a Write Command is given to the gDDR2 SDRAM, the CAS timing accepts one extra address, column address A10, to allow the active bank to automatically begin precharge at the earliest possible moment during the burst read or write cycle. If A10 is low when the READ or WRITE Command is issued, then normal Read or Write burst operation is executed and the bank remains active at the completion of the burst sequence. If A10 is high when the Read or Write Command is issued, then the auto-precharge function is engaged. During auto-precharge, a Read Command will execute as normal with the exception that the active bank will begin to precharge on the rising edge which is CAS latency (CL) clock cycles before the end of the read burst. Auto-precharge also be implemented during Write commands. The precharge operation engaged by the Auto precharge command will not begin until the last data of the burst write sequence is properly stored in the memory array. This feature allows the precharge operation to be partially or completely hidden during burst read cycles (dependent upon CAS latency) thus improving system performance for random data access. The RAS lockout circuit internally delays the Precharge operation until the array restore operation has been completed (tRAS satisfied) so that the auto precharge command may be issued with any read or write command.
Burst Read with Auto Precharge
If A10 is high when a Read Command is issued, the Read with Auto-Precharge function is engaged. The gDDR2 SDRAM starts an auto Precharge operation on the rising edge which is (AL + BL/2) cycles later than the read with AP command if tRAS(min) and tRTP are satisfied. If tRAS(min) is not satisfied at the edge, the start point of auto-precharge operation will be delayed until tRAS(min) is satisfied. If tRTP(min) is not satisfied at the edge, the start point of auto-precharge operation will be delayed until tRTP(min) is satisfied. In case the internal precharge is pushed out by tRTP, tRP starts at the point where the internal precharge happens (not at the next rising clock edge after this event). So for BL = 4 the minimum time from Read_AP to the next Activate command becomes AL + (tRTP + tRP)* (see example 2) for BL = 8 the time from Read_AP to the next Activate is AL + 2 + (tRTP + tRP)*, where "*" means: "rouded up to the next integer". In any event internal precharge does not start earlier than two clocks after the last 4-bit prefetch. A new bank activate (command) may be issued to the same bank if the following two conditions are satisfied simultaneously. (1) The RAS precharge time (tRP) has been satisfied from the clock at which the auto precharge begins. (2) The RAS cycle time (tRC) from the previous bank activation has been satisfied.

Notes: 1. The value of tRTP is decided by the equation : max( RU, 2) where RU stands for round up. This is required to cover the max tCK case, which is 8 ns. 2. For a given bank, the precharge period of tRP should be counted from the latest precharge command issued to that bank. Similarly, the precharge period of tRPall should be counted from the latest precharge all command ossued to the DRAM.
2.2.7 Refresh Command
When CS, RAS and CAS are held low and WE high at the rising edge of the clock, the chip enters the Refresh mode (REF). All banks of the gDDR2 SDRAM must be precharged and idle for a minimum of the Precharge time (tRP) before the Refresh command (REF) can be applied. An address counter, internal to the device, supplies the bank address during the refresh cycle. No control of the external address bus is required once this cycle has started. When the refresh cycle has completed, all banks of the gDDR2 SDRAM will be in the precharged (idle) state. A delay between the Refresh command (REF) and the next Activate command or subsequent Refresh command must be greater than or equal to the Refresh cycle time (tRFC). To allow for improved efficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexibility in the absolute refresh interval is provided. A maximum of eight Refresh commands can be posted to any given gDDR2 SDRAM, meaning that the maximum absolute interval between any Refresh command and the next Refresh command is 9 * tREFI.

Self Refresh Operation
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
The gDDR2 SDRAM device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self Refresh operation. The Self Refresh Command is defined by having CS, RAS, CAS and CKE held low with WE high at the rising edge of the clock. ODT must be turned off before issuing Self Refresh command, by either driving ODT pin low or using EMRS command. Once the Command is registered, CKE must be held low to keep the device in Self Refresh mode. When the gDDR2 SDRAM has entered Self Refresh mode all of the external signals except CKE, are "don't care". Since CKE is an SSTL 2 input, VREF must be maintained during Self Refresh operation. The DRAM initiates a minimum of one one Auto Refresh command internally within tCKE period once it enters Self Refresh mode. The clock is internally disabled during Self Refresh Operation to save power. The minimum time that the gDDR2 SDRAM must remain in Self Refresh mode is tCKE. The user may change the external clock frequency or halt the external clock one clock after Self-Refresh entry is registered, however, the clock must be restarted and stable before the device can exit Self Refresh operation. Once Self Refresh Exit command is registered, a delay equal or longer than the tXSNR or tXSRD must be satisfied before a valid command can be issued to the device. CKE must remain high for the entire Self Refresh exit period tXSRD for proper operation. Upon exit from Self Refresh, the gDDR2 SDRAM can be put back into Self Refresh mode after tXSRD expires. NOP or deselect commands must be registered on each positive clock edge during the Self Refresh exit interval. ODT should also be turned off during tXSRD. Upon exit from Self Refresh, the gDDR2 SDRAM requires a minimum of one extra auto refresh command before it is put back into Self Refresh mode.

Power-Down
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
Power-down is synchronously entered when CKE is registered low (along with Nop or Deselect command). CKE is not allowed to go low while mode register or extended mode register command time, or read or write operation is in progress. CKE is allowed to go low while any of other operations such as row activation, precharge or autoprecharge, or auto-refresh is in progress, but power-down IDD spec will not be applied until finishing those operations. Timing diagrams are shown in the following pages with details for entry into power down. The DLL should be in a locked state when power-down is entered. Otherwise DLL should be reset after exiting power-down mode for proper read operation. DRAM design guarantees it's DLL in a locked state with any CKE intensive operations as long as DRAM controller complies with DRAM specifications. Following figures show two examples of CKE intensive applications. In both examples, DRAM maintains DLL in a locked state throughout the period.
CK CK CKE tCKE tCKE
DRAM maintains DLL in locked state with intensive CKE operation
CK CK CKE tXP tCKE CMD REF REF REF
tREFI = 7.8 us tREFI = 7.8 us The pattern shown above can repeat over a long period of time. With this pattern, DRAM maintains DLL in a locked state with temperature and voltage drift.

256M gDDR2 SDRAM
If power-down occurs when all banks are idle, this mode is referred to as precharge power-down; if power-down occurs when there is a row active in any bank, this mode is referred to as active power-down. Entering power-down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK, ODT and CKE. Also the DLL is disabled upon entering precharge powerdown or slow exit active power-down, but the DLL is kept enabled during fast exit active power-down. In power-down mode, CKE low and a stable clock signal must be maintained at the inputs of the gDDR2 SDRAM, and ODT should be in a valid state but all other input signals are "Don't Care". CKE low must be maintained until tCKE has been satisfied. Power-down duration is limited by 9 times tREFI of the device. The power-down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered high (along with a Nop or Deselect command). CKE high must be maintained until tCKE has been satisfied. A valid, executable command can be applied with powerdown exit latency, tXP, tXARD, or tXARDS, after CKE goes high. Power-down exit latency is defined at AC spec table of this data sheet.

Asynchronous CKE Low Event
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
DRAM requires CKE to be maintained "HIGH" for all valid operations as defined in this data sheet. If CKE asynchronously drops "LOW" during any valid operation DRAM is not guaranteed to preserve the contents of array. If this event occurs, memory controller must satisfy DRAM timing specification tDelay before turning off the clocks. Stable clocks must exist at the input of DRAM before CKE is raised "HIGH" again. DRAM must be fully re-initialized (steps 4 thru 13) as described in initialization sequence. DRAM is ready for normal operation after the initialization sequence. See AC timing parametric table for tDelay specification

Input Clock Frequency Change during Precharge Power Down
gDDR2 SDRAM input clock frequency can be changed under following condition: gDDR2 SDRAM is in precharged power down mode. ODT must be turned off and CKE must be at logic LOW level. A minimum of 2 clocks must be waited after CKE goes LOW before clock frequency may change. SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within minimum and maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade. During input clock frequency change, ODT and CKE must be held at stable LOW levels. Once input clock frequency is changed, stable new clocks must be provided to DRAM before precharge power down may be exited and DLL must be RESET via EMRS after precharge power down exit. Depending on new clock frequency an additional MRS command may need to be issued to appropriately set the WR, CL etc.. During DLL re-lock period, ODT must remain off. After the DLL lock time, the DRAM is ready to operate with new clock frequency.

No Operation Command
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
The No Operation Command should be used in cases when the gDDR2 SDRAM is in an idle or a wait state. The purpose of the No Operation Command (NOP) is to prevent the gDDR2 SDRAM from registering any unwanted commands between operations. A No Operation Command is registered when CS is low with RAS, CAS, and WE held high at the rising edge of the clock. A No Operation Command will not terminate a previous operation that is still executing, such as a burst read or write cycle.
Deselect Command
The Deselect Command performs the same function as a No Operation Command. Deselect Command occurs when CS is brought high at the rising edge of the clock, the RAS, CAS, and WE signals become don't cares.

Refer to the Command Truth Table
CKE (N) is the logic state of CKE at clock edge N; CKE (N-1) was the state of CKE at the previous clock edge. Current state is the state of the DDR SDRAM immediately prior to clock edge N. COMMAND (N) is the command registered at clock edge N, and ACTION (N) is a result of COMMAND (N). All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved unless explicitly described elsewhere in this document. On Self Refresh Exit DESELECT or NOP commands must be issued on every clock edge occurring during the tXSNR period. Read commands may be issued only after tXSRD (200 clocks) is satisfied. Self Refresh mode can only be entered from the All Banks Idle state. Must be a legal command as defined in the Command Truth Table. Valid commands for Power Down Entry and Exit are NOP and DESELECT only. Valid commands for Self Refresh Exit are NOP and DESELECT only. Power Down and Self Refresh can not be entered while Read or Write operations, (Extended) Mode Register Set operations or Precharge operations are in progress. See section "Power Down" and "Self Refresh Command" for a detailed list of restrictions. Minimum CKE high time is three clocks.; minimum CKE low time is three clocks. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh. The Power Down does not perform any refresh operations. The duration of Power Down Mode is therefore limited by the refresh requirements outlined. CKE must be maintained high while the SDRAM is in OCD calibration mode . "X" means "don't care (including floating around VREF)" in Self Refresh and Power Down. However ODT must be driven high or low in Power Down if the ODT function is enabled (Bit A2 or A6 set to "1" in EMRS(1) ). VREF must be maintained during Self Refresh operation.

gDDR2 SDRAM Default Output Driver V-I Characteristics
256M gDDR2 SDRAM
gDDR2 SDRAM output driver characteristics are defined for full strength default operation as selected by the EMRS1 bits A7-A9 = `111'. Figures 1 and 2 show the driver characteristics graphically, and tables 1 and 2 show the same data in tabular format suitable for input into simulation tools. The driver characteristics evaluation conditions are: Nominal Default 25 oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.8 V, typical process Minimum TBD oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.7 V, slow-slow process Maximum 0 oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.9 V, fast-fast process
Default Output Driver Characteristic Curves Notes:
1) The full variation in driver current from minimum to maximum process, temperature, and voltage will lie within the outer bounding lines of the V-I curve of figures 1 and 2. 2) It is recommended that the "typical" IBIS V-I curve lie within the inner bounding lines of the V-I curves of figures 1 and 2.

gDDR2 SDRAM Calibrated Output Driver V-I Characteristics
gDDR2 SDRAM output driver characteristics are defined for full strength calibrated operation as selected by the procedure outlined in Off-Chip Driver (OCD) Impedance Adjustment. Tables 3 and 4 show the data in tabular format suitable for input into simulation tools. The nominal points represent a device at exactly 18 ohms. The nominal low and nominal high values represent the range that can be achieved with a maximum 1.5 ohm step size with no calibration error at the exact nominal conditions only (i.e. perfect calibration procedure, 1.5 ohm maximum step size guaranteed by specification). Real system calibration error needs to be added to these values. It must be understood that these V-I curves as represented here or in supplier IBIS models need to be adjusted to a wider range as a result of any system calibration error. Since this is a system specific phenomena, it cannot be quantified here. The values in the calibrated tables represent just the DRAM portion of uncertainty while looking at one DQ only. If the cali

bration procedure is used, it is possible to cause the device to operate outside the bounds of the default device characteristics tables and figures. In such a situation, the timing parameters in the specification cannot be guaranteed. It is solely up to the system application to ensure that the device is calibrated between the minimum and maximum default values at all times. If this can't be guaranteed by the system calibration procedure, re-calibration policy, and uncertainty with DQ to DQ variation, then it is recommended that only the default values be used. The nominal maximum and minimum values represent the change in impedance from nominal low and high as a result of voltage and temperature change from the nominal condition to the maximum and minimum conditions. If calibrated at an extreme condition, the amount of variation could be as much as from the nominal minimum to the nominal maximum or vice versa. The driver characteristics evaluation conditions are: Nominal 25 oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.8 V, typical process Nominal Low and Nominal High 25 oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.8 V, any process Nominal Minimum TBD oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.7 V, any process Nominal Maximum 0 oC (T case), VDDQ = 1.9 V, any process
