11.3.5 Machine A/B/C Mode Registers (M

MR)

The machine x mode registers (MxMR), shown in Figure 11-11, contain the configuration for the three

UPMs.

Table11-10 describes MxMR bits.

28 EAMUX External address multiplexing enable/disable.
0 No external address multiplexing. Fastest timing.
1 The memory controller asserts SDAMUX for an extra cycle before issuing an ACTIVATE
command to the SDRAM. This is useful when external address multiplexing can cause a
delay on the address lines. Note that if EAMUX is set, ACTTORW should be at least 2.
In local bus mode, external address multiplexing is placed on the address lines. If the additional
delay of the multiplexing endangers the device setup time, EAMUX should be set. Setting this
bit causes the memory controller to add another cycle for each address phase.
Note:EAMUX can also be set in case of address line delays, such as address buffers. See
Section11.4.6.7, “External Address Multiplexing Signal.”
29 BUFCMD If external buffers are placed on the control lines going to both the SDRAM and address lines,
setting BUFCMD causes all SDRAM control lines except CS to be asserted for two cycles,
instead of one. See Section11.4.6.8, “External Address and Command Buffers (BUFCMD).”
0 Normal timing for the control lines
1 All control lines except CS are asserted for two cycles
In 60x-compatible mode, external buffers may be placed on the command strobes, except CS,
as well as the address lines. If the additional delay of the buffers is endangering the device
setup time, BUFCMD should be set to cause the memory controller to add another cycle for
each SDRAM command.
30–31 CL CAS latency. Defines the timing for first read data after a column address is sampled by the
SDRAM. See Section11.4.6.3, “Column Address to First Data Out—CAS Latency.”
