Initialization
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SDRAMs must be powered up and initialized in a
predefinedmanner.
The256MbSDRAMsarequad-bankDRAMswhichoperate
at3.3Vandincludeasynchronousinterface(allsignalsare
registered on the positive edge of the clock signal, CLK).
Each of the 67,108,864-bit banks is organized as 8,192
rows by 512 columns by 16 bits or 8,192 rows by 1,024
columns by 8 bits.
The 256Mb SDRAM is initialized after the power is applied
to VDD and VDDQ (simultaneously) and the clock is stable
with DQM High and CKE High.
A 200µs delay is required prior to issuing any command
other than a COMMAND INHIBIT or aNOP. The COMMAND
INHIBITorNOPmaybeappliedduringthe200usperiodand
should continue at least through the end of the period.
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst oriented;
accesses start at a selected location and continue for a
programmed number of locations in a programmed
sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of an AC-
TIVEcommandwhichisthenfollowedbyaREADorWRITE
command. The address bits registered coincident with the
ACTIVE command are used to select the bank and row to

TheaddressbitsA0-A9 (x8);A0-A8(x16)registeredcoincident
with the READ or WRITE command are used to select the
starting column location for the burst access.
The mode register should be loaded prior to applying any
operational command because it will power up in an un-
known state.
Prior to normal operation, the SDRAM must be initialized.
The following sections provide detailed information covering
device initialization, register definition, command
descriptions and device operation.
