GENERAL DESCRIPTION
READ
The READ command selects the bank from BA0, BA1
inputs and starts a burst read access to an active row.
Inputs A0-A7 provides the starting column location. When
A10 is HIGH, this command functions as an AUTO
PRECHARGE command. When the auto precharge is
selected, the row being accessed will be precharged at the
end of the READ burst. The row will remain open for
subsequent accesses when AUTO PRECHARGE is not
selected. DQ’s read data is subject to the logic level on the
DQM inputs two clocks earlier. When a given DQM signal
was registered HIGH, the corresponding DQ’s will be High-
Z two clocks later. DQ’s will provide valid data when the
DQM signal was registered LOW.

®
PRECHARGE function in conjunction with a specific READ
or WRITE command. For each individual READ or WRITE
command, auto precharge is either enabled or disabled.
AUTO PRECHARGE does not apply except in full-page
burst mode. Upon completion of the READ or WRITE burst,
a precharge of the bank/row that is addressed is automati-
cally performed.
AUTO REFRESH COMMAND
This command executes the AUTO REFRESH operation.
The row address and bank to be refreshed are automatically
generated during this operation. The stipulated period (t
RC
) is
required for a single refresh operation, and no other com-
mands can be executed during this period. This command is
executed at least 4096 times for every 64ms. During an
AUTO REFRESH command, address bits are “Don’t Care”.
This command corresponds to CBR Auto-refresh.
WRITE
A burst write access to an active row is initiated with the
WRITE command. BA0, BA1 inputs selects the bank, and
the starting column location is provided by inputs A0-A7.
Whether or not AUTO-PRECHARGE is used is determined
by A10.
The row being accessed will be precharged at the end of the
WRITE burst, if AUTO PRECHARGE is selected. If AUTO
PRECHARGE is not selected, the row will remain open for
subsequent accesses.
A memory array is written with corresponding input data on
DQ’s and DQM input logic level appearing at the same time.
Data will be written to memory when DQM signal is LOW.
When DQM is HIGH, the corresponding data inputs will be
ignored, and a WRITE will not be executed to that byte/
column location.
BURST TERMINATE
The BURST TERMINATE command forcibly terminates the
burst read and write operations by truncating either fixed-
length or full-page bursts and the most recently registered
READ or WRITE command prior to the BURST TERMI-
NATE.
COMMAND INHIBIT
COMMAND INHIBIT prevents new commands from being
executed. Operations in progress are not affected, apart
from whether the CLK signal is enabled
NO OPERATION
When
CS
is low, the NOP command prevents unwanted
commands from being registered during idle or wait states.
PRECHARGE
The PRECHARGE command is used to deactivate the open
row in a particular bank or the open row in all banks. BA0,
BA1 can be used to select which bank is precharged or they
are treated as “Don’t Care”. A10 determined whether one or
all banks are precharged. After executing this command,
the next command for the selected bank(s) is executed after
passage of the period t
RP
, which is the period required for
bank precharging. Once a bank has been precharged, it is
in the idle state and must be activated prior to any READ or
WRITE commands being issued to that bank.
LOAD MODE REGISTER
During the LOAD MODE REGISTER command the mode
register is loaded from A0-A11. This command can only be
issued when all banks are idle.
ACTIVE COMMAND
When the ACTIVE COMMAND is activated, BA0, BA1
inputs selects a bank to be accessed, and the address
inputs on A0-A11 selects the row. Until a PRECHARGE
command is issued to the bank, the row remains open for
accesses.
AUTO PRECHARGE
The AUTO PRECHARGE function ensures that the precharge
is initiated at the earliest valid stage within a burst. This
function allows for individual-bank precharge without requir-
ing an explicit command. A10 to enable the AUTO
