2.4.5Write (WRT) Command
Prior to a WRT command, the desired bank and row are activated by the ACTV command. Following the WRT command, a write latency is incurred. Write latency is equal to CAS latency minus 1. All writes have a burst length of 8. The use of the DDR_DQM outputs allows byte and halfword writes to be executed.
Figure 9 shows the timing for a write on the DDR2 memory controller.
If the transfer request is for less than 8 words, depending on the scheduling result and the pending commands, the DDR2 memory controller can:
∙Mask out the additional data using DDR_DQM outputs
∙Terminate the write burst and start a new write burst
The DDR2 memory controller does not perform the DEAC command until page information becomes invalid.
