11.4.12.1 SDRAM Configuration Example (Page-Based Interleaving)
Consider the following SDRAM organization:
• 64-bit port size, organized as eight 64-Mbit devices, each organized as 8M x 8bits.
• Each device has 4 internal banks, 12 rows, and 9 columns
For page-based interleaving, the address bus should be partitioned as shown in Table11-22.
The following parameters can be extracted:
• PSDMR[PBI] = 1—Page-based interleaving
•ORx[BPD] = 01—Four internal banks
•ORx[ROWST] = 0110—Row starts at A[6]
•ORx[NUMR] = 011—Twelve row lines
Now, from the SDRAM device point of view, during an ACTIVATE command, its address port should look
like Table11-23.
Table11-20 on page 11-38 indicates that to multiplex A[6–17] over A[17–28], PSDMR[SDAM] must be
011 and, because the internal bank selects are multiplexed over A[15–16], PSDMR[BSMA] must be 010
(only the lower two bank select lines are used).
When using bank-based interleaving, the internal bank-select signals that are multiplexed over the address
lines should be adjacent to the row address during the ACTIVATE command (re fer to Table11-23). So, the
value of PSDMR[BSMA] is selected according to the combination of PSDMR[SDAM], ORx[ROWST],
and ORx[NUMR]. Otherwise, the output of the BNKSEL pins could be incorrect even if the device is
connected to the BNKSEL pins. To ensure proper connection, note that BNKSEL0 is msb and BNKSEL2
is lsb as stated in Table 6-1.
When using page-based interleaving, the internal bank-select signals that are mutilplexed over the address
lines are determined only by PSDMR[BSMA] during the ACTIVATE command. The output of the BNKSEL
pins are not affected by the PSDMR[BSMA] value.
During a READ/WRITE command, the address port should look like Table 11-24.
