256-Mbit SDRAM.

 

 

41.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BA1

AK14

O

Bank Address Bits. These bits are used to select the

---

 

 

 

component bank within the SDRAM.

 

BA0

AJ13

 

---

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CS1#

AH27

O

Chip Selects. These bits are used to select the module

---

 

 

 

bank within system memory. Each chip select corre-

 

CS0#

AL12

 

---

 

sponds to a specific module bank. If CS# is high, the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bank(s) do not respond to RAS#, CAS#, and WE# until

 

 

 

 

the bank is selected again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RASA#

AK12

O

Row Address Strobe. RAS#, CAS#, WE# and CKE are

---

 

 

 

encoded to support the different SDRAM commands.

 

 

 

 

RASA# is used with CS[1:0]#.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CASA#

AJ12

O

Column Address Strobe. RAS#, CAS#, WE# and CKE

---

 

 

 

are encoded to support the different SDRAM commands.

 

 

 

 

CASA# is used with CS[1:0]#.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WEA#

AH12

O

Write Enable. RAS#, CAS#, WE# and CKE are encoded

---

 

 

 

to support the different SDRAM commands. WEA# is

 

 

 

 

used with CS[1:0]#.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DQM7

AB31

O

Data Mask Control Bits. During memory read cycles,

---

 

 

 

these outputs control whether SDRAM output buffers are

 

DQM6

AG29

 

---

 

driven on the MD bus or not. All DQM signals are

 

 

 

 

DQM5

AK21

 

---

 

asserted during read cycles.

 

 

 

 

 

DQM4

AL15

 

During memory write cycles, these outputs control

---

 

 

 

whether or not MD data is written into SDRAM.

 

DQM3

AC31

 

---

 

DQM[7:0] connect directly to the [DQM7:0] pins of each

 

 

 

 

DQM2

AG30

 

---

 

DIMM connector.

 

 

 

 

DQM1

AH23

 

 

---

 

 

 

 

 

DQM0

AL11

 

 

---

 

 

 

 

 

CKEA

AL22

O

Clock Enable. These signals are used to enter Suspend/

---

 

 

 

power-down mode. CKEA is used with CS[1:0]#.

 

 

 

 

If CKE goes low when no read or write cycle is in

 

 

 

 

progress, the SDRAM enters power-down mode. To

 

 

 

 

ensure that SDRAM data remains valid, the self-refresh

 

 

 

 

command is executed. To exit this mode, and return to

 

 

 

 

normal operation, drive CKE high.

 

 

 

 

These signals should have an external pull-down resistor

 

 

 

 

of 33 KΩ.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SDCLK3

V29

O

SDRAM Clocks. SDRAM uses these clocks to sample

---

 

 

 

all control, address, and data lines. To ensure that the

 

SDCLK2

AA28

 

---

 

Suspend mode functions correctly, SDCLK3 and

 

 

 

 

SDCLK1

W29

 

---

 

SDCLK1 should be used with CS1#. SDCLK2 and

 

 

 

SDCLK0 should be used together with CS0#.
