1. For the earliest possible Precharge command following a Write burst without interrupting the burst, the minimum time for write
recovery is defined by tWR
.
2. When a precharge command interrupts a Write burst operation, the data mask pin, DQ, is used to mask input data during the
time between the last valid write data and the rising clock edge in which the Precharge command is given. During this time, the
DQS input is still required to strobe in the state of DM.
The minimum time for write recovery is defined by tWR
3. For a Write with autoprecharge command, a new Bank Activate command may be issued to the same bank after tWR + tRP where
WR + tRP starts on the falling DQS edge that strobed in the last valid data and ends on the rising clock edge that strobes in the
.
t
Bank Activate commands. During write with autoprecharge, the initiation of the internal precharge occurs at the same time as
the earliest possible external Precharge command without interrupting the Write burst as described in 1 above.
4. In all cases, a Precharge operation cannot be initiated unless tRAS(min) [minimum Bank Activate to Precharge time] has been
satisfied. This includes Write with autoprecharge commands where tRAS(min) must still be satisfied such that a Write with
autoprecharge command has the same timing as a Write command followed by the earliest possible Precharge command
which does not interrupt the burst.
Burst Stop
The burst stop command is initiated by having RAS and CAS high with CS and WE low at the rising edge of the clock
(CLK). The burst stop command has the fewest restriction making it the easiest method to use when terminating a burst read
operation before it has been completed. When the burst stop command is issued during a burst read cycle, the pair of data and
DQS (Data Strobe) go to a high impedance state after a delay which is equal to the CAS latency set in the mode register. The
burst stop command, however, is not supported during a write burst operation.
