Pin
Type
Signal Polarity
Function
CLK
Input
Pulse
Positive
Edge
The system clock input. All of the SDRAM inputs are sampled on the rising edge of the
clock.
CKE
CS
Input
Input
Level Active High Activates the CLK signal when high and deactivates the CLK signal when low, thereby
initiates either the Power Down mode or the Self Refresh mode.
Pulse Active Low CS enables the command decoder when low and disables the command decoder when
high. When the command decoder is disabled, new commands are ignored but previous
operations continue.
RAS,CAS
WE
Input
Input
Pulse Active Low When sampled at the positive rising edge of the clock, CAS, RAS, and WE define the
command to be executed by the SDRAM.
A0 - A11

During a Bank Activate command cycle, A0-A12 defines the row address (RA0-RA12)
when sampled at the rising clock edge.
During a Read or Write command cycle, A0-An defines the column address (CA0-CAn)
when sampled at the rising clock edge.CAn depends from the SDRAM organization:
• 64M x 4 SDRAM CA0–CA9, CA11.
• 32M x 8 SDRAM CA0–CA9.
• 16M x 16 SDRAM CA0–CA8.
In addition to the column address, A10(=AP) is used to invoke autoprecharge operation
at the end of the burst read or write cycle. If A10 is high, autoprecharge is selected and
BA0, BA1 defines the bank to be precharged. If A10 is low, autoprecharge is disabled.
During a Precharge command cycle, A10(=AP) is used in conjunction with BA0 and BA1
to control which bank(s) to precharge. If A10 is high, all four banks will BA0 and BA1 are
used to define which bank to precharge.

Selects which bank is to be active.
DQx
Input
Data Input/Output pins operate in the same manner as on conventional DRAMs.
Output
LDQM
UDQM
Input
Pulse Active High 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
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.
VCC, VSS Supply
Power and ground for the input buffers and the core logic.
VCCQ
VSSQ
Supply
—
—
Isolated power supply and ground for the output buffers to provide improved noise
immunity.
