SDRAM Commands

This subsection discusses the SDRAM commands sup-

ported by the memory controller. Table 4-13 summarizes

these commands followed by detailed operational infor-

mation regarding each command.

MRS — The Mode Register command defines the specific

mode of operation of the SDRAM. This definition includes

the selection of burst length, burst type, and CAS latency.

CAS latency is the delay, in clock cycles, between the reg-

istration of a read command and the availability of the first

piece of output data.

The burst length is programmed by address bits MA[2:0],

the burst type by address bit MA3 and the CAS latency by

address bits MA[6:4].

The memory controller only supports a burst length of two

and burst type of interleave.

The field value on MA[12:0] and BA[1:0] during the MRS

cycleare as shownin Table4-14.

PRE — The precharge command is used to deactivate

the open row in a particular bank or the open row in both

component banks. Address pin MA10 determines whether

one or both banks are to be precharged. In the case

where only one component bank is to be precharged,

BA[1:0] selects which bank. Once a bank has been pre-

charged, it is in the Idle state and must be activated prior

to any read or write commands.
