Concurrent Auto Precharge
An access command (READ or WRITE) to another bank while an access command with auto precharge enabled
is executing is not allowed by SDRAMs, unless the SDRAM supports CONCURRENT AUTO PRECHARGE.
ICSI SDRAMs support CONCURRENT AUTO PRECHARGE. Four cases where CONCURRENT AUTO
PRECHARGE occurs are defined below.
READ with Auto Precharge
· Interrupted by a READ (with or without auto precharge): A READ to bank m will interrupt a READ on bank n,
CAS latency later. The PRECHARGE to bank n will begin when the READ to bank m is regis-tered.

DON T CARE
· Interrupted by a WRITE (with or without auto precharge): A WRITE to bank m will interrupt a READ on bank n
when registered. DQM should be used two clocks prior to the WRITE command to prevent bus contention. The
PRECHARGE to bank n will begin when the WRITE to bank m is registered.
