Description of Commands
Command Description
DESEL
The DESEL function prevents new commands from being executed by the Graphics SDRAM. The
Graphics SDRAM is effectively deselected. Operations in progress are not affected.
NOP
The NOP command is used to perform a no operation to the Graphics SDRAM, which is selected
(CS is LOW). This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states.
Operations already in progress are not affected.
MRS
EMRS
ACT
The Mode Register is loaded via address inputs A0 - A11. For more details see “Mode Register
Set Command (MRS)” on Page 40 . The MRS command can only be issued when all banks are
idle and no bursts are in progress. A subsequent executable command cannot be issued until tMRD
is met.
The Extended Mode Register is loaded via address inputs A0 - A11. For more details see section
“Extended Mode Register Set Command (EMRS)” on Page 37. The EMRS command can only
be issued when all banks are idle and no bursts are in progress. A subsequent executable command
cannot be issued until tMRD is met.
The ACT command is used to open (or activate) a row in a particular bank for a subsequent access.
The value on the BA0 - BA2 inputs selects the bank, and the address provided in inputs A0 - A11
selects the row. This row remains active (or open) for accesses until a precharge (PRE, RD/A, or
WR/A command) is issued to that bank. A precharge must be issued before opening a different row
in the same bank.
RD
The RD command is used to initiate a burst read access to an active row. The value on the BA0 -
BA2 inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A2-A7, A9 selects the column
location. The row will remain open for subsequent accesses. For RD commands the value on A8 is
set LOW.
RD/A
The RD/A command is used to initiate a burst read access to an active row. The value on the BA0
- BA2 inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A2-A7, A9 selects the column
location. The value on input A8 is set HIGH. The row being accessed will be precharged at the end
of the read burst. The same individual-bank precharge function is performed like it is described for
the PRE command. Auto precharge ensures that the precharge is initiated at the earliest valid stage
within the burst. The user must not issue a new ACT command to the same bank until the precharge
time (tRP) is completed. This time is determined as if an explicit PRE command was issued at the
earliest possible time as described in section “Reads (RD)” on Page 55.
WR
The WR command is used to initiate a burst write access to an active row. The value on the BA0 -
BA2 inputs selects the bank, and the address provided on inputs A2-A7, A9 selects the column
location. The row will remain open for subsequent accesses. For WR commands the value on A8 is
set LOW.
Input data appearing on the DQs is written to the memory array depending on the value on the DM
input appearing coincident with the data. If a given DM signal is registered LOW, the corresponding
data will be written to the memory; if the DM signal is registered HIGH, the corresponding data inputs
will be ignored, and a write will not be executed for that byte / column location.
