Confidential 15 Rev. 1.0/July 2014
Notes:
1. 16-word burst length is optional.
2. For a burst length of two, A1-An selects the two data element block; A0 selects the first
access within the block.
3. For a burst length of four, A2-An selects the four data element block; A0-A1 selects the
first access within the block.
4. For a burst length of eight, A3-An selects the eight data element block; A0-A2 selects the
first access within the block.
5. For the optional burst length of sixteen, A4-An selects the sixteen data element block; A0-
A3 selects the first access within the block.
6. Whenever a boundary of the block is reached within a given sequence, the following access
wraps within the block
When a READ or WRITE command is issued, a block of columns equal to the burst length is
effectively selected. All accesses for that burst take place within the block, meaning that the burst
will wrap within the block if a boundary is reached.
The block is uniquely selected by A1-An when the burst length is set to two, by A2-An when the
burst length is set to 4, by A3-An when the burst length is set to 8 and A4-An when the burst
length is set to 16 (where An is the most significant column address bit for a given configuration).
The remaining (least significant) address bit(s) is (are) used to select the starting location within
the block. The programmed burst length applies to both read and write bursts.
5.2.1.3 Burst Type
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed to be either sequential or interleaved; this is
referred to as the burst type and is selected via bit A3.
The ordering of accesses within a burst is determined by the burst length, the burst type and the
starting column address, as shown in Table 4.
5.2.1.4 Read Latency
The READ latency, or CAS latency, is the delay between the registration of a READ command and
the availability of the first piece of output data. The latency should be set to 3 clocks. Some vendors
may offer additional options of 2 clocks and/or 4 clocks.
If a READ command is registered at a clock edge n and the latency is 3 clocks, the first data
element will be valid at n + 2tCK + tAC. If a READ command is registered at a clock edge n and the
latency is 2 clocks, the first data element will be valid at n + tCK + t AC. Lastly, if a READ command
is registered at a clock edge n and the latency is 4 clocks, the first data element will be valid at n +
3tCK + tAC.
5.2.2 Extended Mode Register
The Extended Mode Register controls functions beyond those controlled by the Mode Register; these
additional functions include output drive strength selection, Temperature Compensated Self Refresh
(TCSR) and Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR), as shown in Table 3. The TCSR and PASR functions
are optional and some vendors may choose not to implement them. Both TCSR and PASR are
effective is in Self Refresh mode only.
The Extended Mode Register is programmed via the MODE REGISTER SET command (with BA1=1
and BA0=0) and will retain the stored information until it is reprogrammed, the device is put in
Deep Power-Down mode, or the device loses power.
The Extended Mode Register must be loaded when all banks are idle and no bursts are in progress,
and the controller must wait the specified time tMRD before initiating any subsequent operation.
