6.6.2.1 Low-Power SDRAM Mode Register Set Configuration Register
Use the Low-Power SDRAM Mode Register Set Configuration register (MDMRSLP) to issue a
special low-power MRS command to SDRAM. Writing this register will trigger a two-stage MRS
command to be issued to external SDRAM. The first stage will write the low- power MRS value to
SDRAM partitions 0 and 1; the second stage will write the low-powe r MRS value to SDRAM
partitions 2 and 3. The value written in this register will be placed di rectly on address lines
MA[24:10] during the MRS command. When setting the values to be writte n out on the address
lines, they must be written out properly based on the address in g mo d e wh i c h is be i n g used.
Although writing to this register will trigger an MRS com mand, the corresponding chip select
values will be asserted only if the memory banks are enabled via the MDCNFG register and if the
corresponding MDMRSLP[MDLPENx] bit is set. To write a new low- power MRS value to
SDRAM, first enable the memory via the MDCNFG register, and then write the MD MRSLP
register with the enable bits set.
This register is not used with in the processor except to write t he value during the MRS command.
All values in the MDCNFG register must be programmed correctly to ensure prop er op eration of
the SDRAM. The register is used by a low-power SDRAM to control the Partial Array Self-
Refresh (PASR) and Temper ature Compensated Self-Refresh (TCSR) settings.
6:4 MDCL0 SDRAM PARTITION PAIR 0 CAS LATENCY – derived from MDCNFG:DTC0. Writes are
ignored. This field is ready-only.
3MDADD0
SDRAM PARTITION PAIR 0 BURST TYPE – Fix to sequential addressing. Writes are
ignored. Always reads 0.
2:0 MDBL0 SDRAM PARTITION PAIR 0 BURST LENGTH – Fixed to a burst length of four. Writes are
ignored. Always reads 010.
