Preliminary
256Mb Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM
Power-Down
Power-down is entered when CKE is registered low (no accesses can be in progress). If power-down occurs
when all banks are idle, this mode is referred to as precharge power-down; if power-down occurs when there
is a row active in any bank, this mode is referred to as active power-down. Entering power-down deactivates
the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK and CKE. The DLL is still running in Power Down mode, so for
maximum power savings, the user has the option of disabling the DLL prior to entering Power-down. In that
case, the DLL must be enabled after exiting power-down, and 200 clock cycles must occur before a Read
command can be issued. In Power Down mode, CKE Low and a stable clock signal must be maintained at
the inputs of the DDR SDRAM, and all other input signals are “Don’t Care”. However, power-down duration is
limited by the refresh requirements of the device, so in most applications, the self refresh mode is preferred
over the DLL-disabled power-down mode.
The power-down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered high (along with a Nop or Deselect
command). A valid, executable command may be applied one clock cycle later.
