PRECHARGE COMMAND
FIGURE 13 – PRECHARGE COMMAND
The PRECHARGE command, illustrated in Figure 13, is used
to deactivate the open row in a particular bank or the open
row in all banks. The bank(s) will be available for a
subsequent row activation a specified time (tRP) after the
PRECHARGE command is issued, except in the case of
concurrent auto precharge, where a READ or WRITE
command to a different bank is allowed as long as it does
not interrupt the data transfer in the current bank and does
not violate any other timing parameters. 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. A PRECHARGE command is allowed if there is no
open row in that bank (idle state) or if the previously open
row is already in the process of precharging. However, the
precharge period will be determined by the last PRECHARGE
command issued to the bank.

PRECHARGE OPERATION
ADDRESS
A10
Input A10 determines whether one or all banks are to be
precharged, and in the case where only one bank is to be
precharged, inputs BA1–BA0 select the bank. Otherwise
BA1–BA0 are treated as “Don’t Care.” When all banks are to
be precharged, inputs BA1–BA0 are treated as “Don’t Care.”

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. tRPA timing applies when the
PRECHARGE (ALL) command is issued, regardless of the
number of banks already open or closed. If a single-bank
PRECHARGE command is issued, tRP timing applies.
DON’T CARE
Note: BA = bank address (if A10 is LOW; otherwise "Don't Care").
issued). The differential clock should remain stable and meet
tCKE specifications at least 1 x tCK after entering self refresh
mode. All command and address input signals except CKE are
“Don’t Care” during self refresh.
SELF REFRESH COMMAND
The SELF REFRESH command can be used to retain data
in the DDR2 SDRAM, even if the rest of the system is powered
down. When in the self refresh mode, the DDR2 SDRAM
retains data without external clocking. All power supply
inputs (including VREF) must be maintained at valid levels
upon entry/exit and during SELF REFRESH operation.
The procedure for exiting self refresh requires a sequence of
commands. First, the differential clock must be stable and meet
tCK specifications at least 1 x tCK prior to CKE going back
HIGH. Once CKE is HIGH (tCLE(MIN) has been satisfied with
four clock registrations), the DDR2 SDRAM must have NOP or
DESELECT commands issued for tXSNR because time is
required for the completion of any internal refresh in progress.
A simple algorithm for meeting both refresh and DLL
requirements is to apply NOP or DESELECT commands for
200 clock cycles before applying any other command.
The SELF REFRESH command is initiated like a REFRESH
command except CKE is LOW. The DLL is automatically
disabled upon entering self refresh and is automatically
enabled upon exiting self refresh (200 clock cycles must
then occur before
a
READ command can be
Note: Self refresh not available at military temperature.
