DRAM Timing Selectable

This option refers to the method by which the DRAM timing is selected. The default is By SPD.

CAS Latency Time

You can configure CAS latency time in HCLKs as 2 or 2.5 or 3. The system board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you change specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.

DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

This option allows you to insert a delay between the RAS (Row Address Strobe) and CAS (Column Address Strobe) signals. This delay occurs when the SDRAM is written to, read from or refreshed. Reducing the delay improves the performance of the SDRAM.

DRAM RAS# Precharge

This option sets the number of cycles required for the RAS to accumulate its charge before the SDRAM refreshes. The default setting for the Active to Precharge Delay is Auto.

Precharge Delay

The default setting for the Precharge Delay is Auto.
