Description
The 128Mb DDR SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic
random-access memory containing 134,217,728 bits. It is
internally configured as a quad-bank DRAM.
The 128Mb DDR SDRAM uses a double-data-rate architecture
to achieve high-speed operation. The double data rate
architecture is essentially a 2n prefetch architecture with an
interface designed to transfer two data words per clock cycle
at the I/O pins. A single read or write access for the 128Mb
DDR SDRAM effectively consists of a single 2n-bit wide, one
clock cycle data transfer at the internal DRAM core and two
corresponding n-bit wide, one-half-clock-cycle data transfers
at the I/O pins.
A bidirectional data strobe (DQS) is transmitted externally,
along with data, for use in data capture at the receiver. DQS
is a strobe transmitted by the DDR SDRAM during Reads
and by the memory controller during Writes. DQS is edgealigned
with data for Reads and center-aligned with data for
Writes.
The 128Mb DDR SDRAM operates from a differential clock
(CK and CK; the crossing of CK going high and CK going
LOW is referred to as the positive edge of CK). Commands
(address and control signals) are registered at every positive
edge of CK. Input data is registered on both edges of DQS,
and output data is referenced to both edges of DQS, as well
as to both edges of CK.
Read and write accesses to the DDR SDRAM are burst oriented;
accesses start at a selected location and continue for
a programmed number of locations in a programmed
sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of an Active
command, which is then followed by a Read or Write command.
The address bits registered coincident with the Active
command are used to select the bank and row to be
accessed. The address bits registered coincident with the
Read or Write command are used to select the bank and the
starting column location for the burst access.
The DDR SDRAM provides for programmable Read or Write
burst lengths of 2, 4 or 8 locations. An Auto Precharge function
may be enabled to provide a self-timed row precharge
that is initiated at the end of the burst access.
As with standard SDRAMs, the pipelined, multibank architecture
of DDR SDRAMs allows for concurrent operation,
thereby providing high effective bandwidth by hiding row precharge
and activation time.
An auto refresh mode is provided along with a power-saving
power-down mode. All inputs are compatible with the JEDEC
Standard for SSTL_2. All outputs are SSTL_2, Class II compatible.
