Row Active
The Bank Activation command is issued by holding CAS and WE high with CS and RAS low at the rising edge of the
clock (CLK). The DDR SDRAM has four independent banks, so two Bank Select addresses (BA0, BA1) are required. The Bank
Activation command to the first read or write command must meet or exceed the minimum of RAS to CAS delay time (tRCD min).
Once a bank has been activated, it must be precharged before another Bank Activation command can be applied to the same bank.
The minimum time interval between interleaved Bank Activation command (Bank A to Bank B and vice versa) is the Bank to Bank
delay time (tRRD min).

Read Bank
This command is used after the row activate command to initiate the burst read of data. The read command is initiated by
activating CS , CAS , and deasserting WE at the same clock sampling (rising) edge as described in the command truth table.
The length of the burst and the CAS latency time will be determined by the values programmed during the MRS command.
Write Bank
This command is used after the row activate command to initiate the burst write of data. The write command is initiated by
activating CS , CAS , and WE at the same clock sampling (rising) edge as describe in the command truth table. The length of
the burst will be determined by the values programmed during the MRS command.
