Function
The system clock input. All of the SDRAM inputs are sampled on the rising edge of the
clock.
Activates the CLK signal when high and deactivates the CLK signal when low. By deacti-
vating the clock, CKE low initiates the Power Down mode, Suspend mode, or the Self
Refresh mode.

CS enables the command decoder when low and disables the command decoder when
Active Low high. When the command decoder is disabled, new commands are ignored but previous
operations continue.

When sampled at the positive rising edge of the clock, CAS, RAS, and WE define the
operation to be executed by the SDRAM.
Selects which bank is to be active. A11 low selects bank A and A11 high selects bank B.
During a Bank Activate command cycle, A0-A10 defines the row address (RA0-RA10)
when sampled at the rising clock edge.
During a Read or Write command cycle, A0-A9 defines the column address (CA0-CA9)
when sampled at the rising clock edge. In addition to the column address, A10 is used to
invoke autoprecharge operation at the end of the burst read or write cycle. If A10 is high,
autoprecharge is selected and A11 defines the bank to be precharged (low=bank A,
high=bank B). If A10 is low, autoprecharge is disabled.
During a Precharge command cycle, A10 is used in conjunction with A11 to control which
bank(s) to precharge. If A10 is high, both bank A and bank B will be precharged regard-
less of the state of A11. If A10 is low, then A11 is used to define which bank to precharge.

The Data Input/Output mask places the DQ buffers in a high impedance state when sam-
pled high. In Read mode, DQM has a latency of two clock cycles and controls the output
Active Low buffers like an output enable. In Write mode, DQM has a latency of zero and operates as
a word mask by allowing input data to be written if it is low but blocks the write operation
if DQM is high.
