a phase index. Modified description of dfi_freq_ratio signal to make it optional except for
MCs/PHYs that support multiple frequency ratios. Expanded figure 32 into two figures to
represent odd and even timing parameters.
Changed minimum value for tlp_wakeup.
Corrected figure 3 timing violation. Corrected erroneous sentence for 2T timing. Corrected
figure 35 tphy_wrlat timing. Correct incorrect references to tphy_wrlat in frequency ratio read
examples.
27 May 2010 Added Figure 4 and text to explain differences between Figure 3 and 4.
09 Jun 2010 Modified text in dfi_init_start and surrounding figures 3 and 4 for more clarity.
21 May 2012 Added DDR4 DRAM support for: CRC, CA parity timing, CRC and CA parity errors, DBI,
leveling support, and CA modifications. Added DFI read data rotation clarification, read data
pointer resynchronization, independent timing of DFI read data valid per data slice, data path
chip select, error interface, and programmable parameters. Renamed PHY evaluation mode.
Removed MC evaluation mode and tphy_wrdelay timing parameter. Added support for refresh
during training, multiple CS training, enhancements to the update interface and the idle bus
definition
19 May 2012 Added support for LPDDR3. Enhanced the Low Power Control Interface to have separate
control and data requests. Added the PHY-Requested Training Interface to enable PHY-
independent training in non-DFI training mode.
Synchronized book files to 3.1 in advance of upcoming changes from JM.
