11.4.9 SDRAM MODE-SET Command Timing
The PowerQUICC II transfers mode register data (CAS latency, burst length, burst type) stored in
P/LSDMR to the SDRAM array by issuing the MODE-SET command. Figure 11-37 shows timing for the
MODE-SET command.

Figure 11-38 shows mode data bit settings.

11.4.10 SDRAM Refresh
The memory controller supplies auto (CBR) refreshes to SDRAM according to the interval specified in
PSRT or LSRT . This represents the time period required between refr eshes. The value of P/LSR T depends
on the specific SDRAM devices used and the operating frequency of the PowerQUICC II’s bus. This value
should allow for a potential collision between memory accesses and refresh cycles. The period of the
refresh interval must be greater than the access time to ensure that read and write operations complete
successfully.

*Mode Data Row Column
*The mode data is the address value during a mode-set cycle. It is driven by the memory controller, in single
PowerQUICCII mode, according to P/LSDMR[CL] register. In 60x-compatible mode, software must drive the
correct value on the address lines. Figure11-38. shows the actual value.
