The synchronous interface and fully-pipelined internal architecture of SDRAM allows extremely fast data rates if used efficiently. Internally, SDRAM devices are organized in banks of memory, which are addressed by row and column. The number of row- and column-address bits and the number of banks depends on the size of the memory. M-WP-SDR-1.1 August 2002, ver. 1.1 1
Altera Corporation SDR SDRAM Controller White Paper SDRAM is controlled by bus commands that are formed using combinations of the RASN, CASN, and WEN signals. For instance, on a clock cycle where all three signals are high, the associated command is a no operation (NOP). A NOP is also indicated when the chip select is not asserted. Table 1 shows the standard SDRAM bus commands. Table 1. SDRAM Bus Commands Command Abbreviation RASN CASN WEN No operation Active Read Write Burst terminate Precharge Autorefresh Load mode register NOP ACT RD WR BT PCH ARF LMR H L H H H L L L H H L L H H L L H H H L L L H L SDRAM banks must be opened before a range of addresses can be written to or read from. The row and bank to be opened are registered coincident with the ACT command. When a bank is accessed for a read or a write it may be necessary to close the bank and re-open it if the row to be accessed is different than the row that is currently opened. Closing a bank is done with the PCH command. The primary commands used to access SDRAM are RD and WR. When the WR command is issued, the initial col- umn address and data word is registered. When a RD command is issued, the initial address is registered. The initial data appears on the data bus 1 to 3 clock cycles later. This is known as CAS latency and is due to the time required to physically read the internal DRAM core and register the data on the bus. The CAS latency depends on the speed of the SDRAM and the frequency of the memory clock. In general, the faster the clock, the more cycles of CAS latency are required. After the initial RD or WR command, sequential read and writes continue until the burst length is reached or a BT command is issued. SDRAM memory devices support burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, or 8 data cycles. The ARF is issued periodically to ensure data retention. This function is performed by the SDR SDRAM Controller and is transparent to the user. The LMR is used to configure the SDRAM mode register. which stores the CAS latency, burst length, burst type, and write burst mode. Consult the SDRAM specification for additional details. SDRAM comes in dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), small-outline DIMMs (SO-DIMMs) and chips. To reduce pin count SDRAM row and column addresses are multiplexed on the same pins. SDRAM often includes more than one bank of memory internally and DIMMS may require multiple chip selects. 2
Altera Corporation Functional Description SDR SDRAM Controller White Paper Table 2 shows the SDR SDRAM Controller interface signals. All signals are synchronous to the system clock and outputs are registered at the SDR SDRAM Controller’s outputs. Table 2.

Altera Corporation SDR SDRAM Controller White Paper SDRAM Controller Command Interface The SDR SDRAM Controller provides a synchronous command interface to the SDRAM and several control regis- ters. Table 3 shows the commands, which are described in following sections. The following rules apply to the com- mands: ■ ■ ■ ■ All commands, except NOP, are driven by the user onto CMD[2:0]; ADDR and DATAIN are set appropri- ately for the requested command. The controller registers the command on the next rising clock edge To acknowledge the command the controller asserts CMDACK for one clock period For READA or WRITEA commands, the user should start receiving or writing data on DATAOUT and DATAIN The user must drive NOP onto CMD[2:0]by the next rising clock edge after CMDACK is asserted Description Table 3. Interface Commands Command NOP READA WRITEA REFRESH PRECHARGE LOAD_MODE LOAD_REG1 LOAD_REG2 NOP Command Value 000b 001b 010b 011b 100b 101b 110b 111b No operation. SDRAM read with auto precharge. SDRAM write with auto precharge. SDRAM auto refresh. SDRAM precharge all banks. SDRAM load mode register. Load controller configuration register. Load controller refresh period register. NOP is a no operation command to the controller. When NOP is detected by the controller, it performs a NOP in the following clock cycle. A NOP must be issued the following clock cycle after the controller has acknowledged a com- mand. The NOP command has no affect on SDRAM accesses that are already in progress. READA Command The READA command instructs the SDR SDRAM Controller to perform a burst read with auto-precharge to the SDRAM at the memory address specified by ADDR. The SDR SDRAM Controller issues an ACTIVATE command to the SDRAM followed by a READA command. The read burst data first appears on DATAOUT (RCD + CL + 2) after the SDR SDRAM Controller asserts CMDACK. During a READA command the user must keep DM low. When the controller is configured for full-page mode, the READA command becomes READ (READ without auto-pre- charge). Figure 2 shows an example timing diagram for a READA command. The following sequence describes the general operation of the READA command: ■ ■ ■ ■ The user asserts READA, ADDR and DM The SDR SDRAM Controller asserts CMDACK to acknowledge the command and simultaneously starts issu- ing commands to the SDRAM devices One clock after CMDACK is asserted, the user must assert NOP The CMDACK presents the first read burst value on DATAOUT, the remainder of the read bursts follow every clock cycle 4

The SDR SDRAM Controller will issue an ACTIVATE com- mand to the SDRAM followed by a WRITEA command. The first data value in the burst sequence must be presented with the WRITEA and ADDR address. The host must start clocking data along with the desired DM values into the SDR SDRAM Controller (tRCD – 2) clocks after the SDR SDRAM Controller has acknowledged the WRITEA com- mand. See a SDRAM data sheet for how to use the data mask lines DM/DQM. When the SDR SDRAM Controller is in the full-page mode WRITEA becomes WRITE (write without auto-pre- charge). Figure 3 shows an example timing diagram for a WRITEA command. The following sequence describes the general operation of a WRITEA command: ■ ■ ■ ■ The user asserts WRITEA, ADDR, the first write data value on DATAIN, and the desired data mask value on DM The SDR SDRAM Controller asserts CMDACK to acknowledge the command and simultaneously starts issu- ing commands to the SDRAM devices One clock after CMDACK was asserted, the user asserts NOP on CMD The user clocks data and data mask values into the SDR SDRAM Controller through DATAIN and DM 5

The SDR SDRAM Controller acknowledges the REFRESH command with CMDACK. Figure 4 shows an example timing diagram of the REFRESH command. The following sequence describes the general operation of a REFRESH com- mand: ■ ■ ■ The user asserts REFRESH on the CMD input The SDR SDRAM Controller asserts CMDACK to acknowledge the command and simultaneously starts issu- ing commands to the SDRAM devices The user asserts NOP on CMD 6

REFRESH Timing Diagram CLK CKE CMD NOP REFRESH NOP CMDACK SA BA CS_N RAS_N CAS_N WE_N DQM DQ CLK FREQ = 133 MHz PRECHARGE Command The PRECHARGE command instructs the SDR SDRAM Controller to perform a PCH command to the SDRAM. The SDR SDRAM Controller acknowledges the command with CMDACK. The PCH command is also used to gener- ate a burst stop to the SDRAM. Using PRECHARGE to terminate a burst is only supported in the full-page mode. Note that the SDR SDRAM Controller adds a latency from when the host issues a command to when the SDRAM sees the PRECHARGE command of 4 clocks. If a full-page read burst is to be stopped after 100 cycles, the PRE- CHARGE command must be asserted (4 + CL – 1) clocks before the desired end of the burst (CL – 1 requirement is imposed by the SDRAM devices). So if the CAS latency is 3, the PRECHARGE command must be issued (100 – 3 – 1 – 4) = 92 clocks into the burst. Figure 5 shows an example timing diagram of the PRECHARGE command. The following sequence describes the general operation of a PRECHARGE command: ■ ■ ■ The user asserts PRECHARGE on CMD The SDR SDRAM Controller asserts CMDACK to acknowledge the command and simultaneously starts issu- ing commands to the SDRAM devices The user asserts NOP on CMD 7

The value that is to be written into the SDRAM mode register must be present on ADDR[11:0] with the LOAD_MODE command. The value on ADDR[11:0] is mapped directly to the SDRAM pins A11-A0 when the SDR SDRAM Controller issues the LMR to the SDRAM. Figure 6 shows an example timing diagram. The following sequence describes the general operation of a LOAD_MODE command: ■ ■ ■ The users asserts LOAD_MODE on CMD The SDR SDRAM Controller asserts CMDACK to acknowledge the command and simultaneously starts issu- ing commands to the SDRAM devices One clock after the SDR SDRAM Controller asserts CMDACK, the users asserts NOP on CMD 8
