Description
Differential Clock: CK and CK are differential clock inputs. All address and
control input signals are sampled on the crossing of the positive edge of CK and
Input
CK
negative edge ofCK . Input and output data is referenced to the crossing of CK
and CK (both directions of the crossing)
CKE
Input
Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CK signal.
Internal clock signals and device input buffers and output drivers. Taking CKE Low
provides Precharge Power Down and Self Refresh operation (all banks idle) or
Active Power Down (Row Active in any bank). CKE is synchronous for all functions
except for disabling outputs, which is asynchronous. Input buffers, excluding
CK,
and CKE, are disabled during Power Down and Self Refresh modes to
CK
reduce standby power consumption.
Bank Activate: BA0 and BA1 define to which bank the BankActivate, Read, Write,
or BankPrecharge command is being applied. BA0 and BA1 also determine which
mode register (MRS or EMRS) is loaded during a Mode Register Set command.
BA0, BA1
A0-A11
Input
Input
Address Inputs: A0-A11 are sampled during the BankActivate command (row
address A0-A11) and Read/Write command (column address A0-A8 with A10
defining Auto Precharge).
Input
Input
Chip Select:
enables (sampled LOW) and disables (sampled HIGH) the
CS
CS
command decoder. All commands are masked when
is sampled HIGH.
CS
provides for external bank selection on systems with multiple banks. It is
CS
considered part of the command code.
Row Address Strobe: The

Bidirectional Data Strobe: DQS is an output with read data and an input with
write data. DQS is edge-aligned with read data, centered in write data. It is used to
capture data. For x16, LDQS is DQS for DQ0-DQ7 and UDQS is DQS for DQ8-
DQ15.
