DESCRIPTION
Clock: CLK is driven by the system clock. All SDRAM input
signals are sampled on the positive edge of CLK. CLK also
increments the internal burst counter and controls the output
registers.

CLK
Input
Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the
CLK signal. Deactivating the clock provides PRECHARGE
POWER-DOWN and SLEF REFRESH operation (all banks idle),
ACTIVE POWER-DOWN (row active in any bank) or CLOCK
SUSPEND operation (burst/access in progress). CKE is
synchronous except after the device enters power-down and self
refresh modes, where CKE becomes asynchronous until after
exiting the same mode. The input buffers, including CLK, are
disabled during power-down and self refresh modes, providing low
standby power. CKE may be tied HIGH.

Chip Select: CS\ enables (registered LOW) and disables
(registered HIGH) the command decoder. All commands are

Input masked when CS\ is registered HIGH. CS\ provides for external
bank selection on systems with multiple banks. CS\ in considered
part of the command code.

Command Inputs: WE\, CAS\ and RAS\ (along with CS\) define

the command being entered.
Input/Output Mask: DQM is an input mask signal for write
accesses and an output enable signal for read accesses. Input
data is masked when DWM is sampled HIGH during a WRITE
cycle. The outptu buffers are placed in a High-Z state (two-clock
15, 39

DQML, DQMU Input
latency) when DQM is sampled HIGH during a READ cycle.
DQML corresponds to DQ0-DQ7 and DQMH corresponds to
DQ8-DQ15. DQML and DQMH are considered same state when
referenced as DQM.
Bank Address Inputs: BA0 and BA1 define to which bank the
BA0, BA1
A0 - A11
Input ACTIVE, READ, WRITE, or PRECHARGE command is being
applied.
Address Inputs: A0-A12 are sampled during the ACTIVE
command (row address A0-A12) and READ/WRITE command
(column-address A0-A8; with A10 defining auto precharge) to
select one location out of the memory array in the respective
Input
23-26, 29-34, 22, 35
bank. A10 is sampled during a PRECHARGE command to
determine if all banks are to be prechaged (A10 [HIGH]) or bank
selected by (A10 [LOW]). The address inputs also provide the
op-code during LOAD MODE REGISTER COMMAND.
