CAS Latency
The CAS Latency is defined by MR0 (bits A9-A11). CAS Latency is the delay, in clock cycles, between the
internal Read command and the availability of the first bit of output data. DDR3 SDRAM does not support any
half-clock latencies. The overall Read Latency (RL) is defined as Additive Latency (AL) + CAS Latency (CL); RL
= AL + CL.
Test Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by MR0 (bit A7 = 0) and rest bits set to the desired values.
Programming bit A7 to a ‘1’ places the DDR3 SDRAM into a test mode that is only used by the DRAM factory
and should NOT be used. No operations or functionality is specified if A7 = 1.
DLL Reset
The DLL Reset bit is self-clearing, meaning that it returns back to the value of ‘0’ after the DLL reset function
has been issued. Once the DLL is enabled, a subsequent DLL Reset should be applied. Any time that the DLL
reset function is used, tDLLK must be met before any functions that require the DLL can be used (i.e., Read
commands or ODT synchronous operations).
Write Recovery
The programmed WR value MR0 (bits A9, A10, and A11) is used for the auto precharge feature along with tRP
to determine tDAL. WR (write recovery for auto-precharge) min in clock cycles is calculated by dividing tWR (in
ns) by tCK (in ns) and rounding up to the next integer: WRmin[cycles] = Roundup(tWR[ns]/ tCK[ns]). The WR
must be programmed to be equal to or larger than tWR(min).
Precharge PD DLL
MR0 (bit A12) is used to select the DLL usage during precharge power-down mode. When MR0 (A12 = 0), or
‘slow-exit’, the DLL is frozen after entering precharge power-down (for potential power savings) and upon exit
requires tXPDLL to be met prior to the next valid command. When MR0 (A12 = 1), or ‘fast-exit’, the DLL is
maintained after entering precharge power-down and upon exiting power-down requires tXP to be met prior to
the next valid command.
