Table 12 displays the DDR2-533 refresh rate specification.

tREF

Average Periodic Refresh Interval

7.8 μs

Therefore, the value for the REFRESH-RATE can be calculated as follows:

REFRESH_RATE = 250 MHz × 7.8 μs = 1950 = 79Eh

Table 13 shows the resulting SDRFC configuration.

3.2.3Configuring SDRAM Timing Registers (SDTIM1 and SDTIM2)

The SDRAM timing 1 register (SDTIM1) and SDRAM timing 2 register (SDTIM2) configure the DDR2 memory controller to meet the data sheet timing parameters of the attached DDR2 device. Each field in SDTIM1 and SDTIM2 corresponds to a timing parameter in the DDR2 data sheet specification. Table 14 and Table 15 display the register field name and corresponding DDR2 data sheet parameter name along with the data sheet value. These tables also provide a formula to calculate the register field value and displays the resulting calculation. Each of the equations include a minus 1 because the register fields are defined in terms of DDR2 clock cycles minus 1. See Section 4.5 and Section 4.6 for more information.
