SDRAM interface
The SDRAM interface observes two types of timing:
Multicycle timings between commands
Subcycle timings between signals and DCLK
Figure 16 illustrates the SDRAM interfaces signal timing in which each type of SDRAM command and its
interrelated timings are shown. It is not intended to be representative of any particular receive or transmit buffer
operation.
