Advance (Rev. 1.2, May /2020)
Features
Overview
JEDEC
The 4Gb Double-Data-Rate-3 (DDR3L) DRAMs is
double data rate architecture to achieve high-speed
operation. It is internally configured as an eight bank
DRAM.
The 4Gb chip is organized as 32Mbit x 16 I/Os x 8 bank
devices. These synchronous devices achieve high speed
double-data-rate transfer rates of up to 1866 Mb/sec/pin
for general applications.
The chip is designed to comply with all key DDR3L
DRAM key features and all of the control and address
inputs are synchronized with a pair of externally supplied
differential clocks. Inputs are latched at the cross point
of differential clocks (CK rising and CK# falling). All I/Os
are synchronized with differential DQS pair in a source
synchronous fashion.
These devices operate with a single +1.35V -0.067V /
+0.1V power supply and are available in BGA packages.

Ball Descriptions
Table 3. Ball Details
Symbol
Type
Description
CK, CK#
Input
Differential Clock: CK and CK# are driven by the system clock. All SDRAM input signals
are sampled on the crossing of positive edge of CK and negative edge of CK#. Output
(Read) data is referenced to the crossings of CK and CK# (both directions of crossing).
CKE
Input
Clock Enable: CKE activates (HIGH) and deactivates (LOW) the CK signal. If CKE goes
LOW synchronously with clock, the internal clock is suspended from the next clock cycle
and the state of output and burst address is frozen as long as the CKE remains LOW.
When all banks are in the idle state, deactivating the clock controls the entry to the Power
Down and Self Refresh modes.
BA0-BA2
Input
Bank Address: BA0-BA2 define to which bank the BankActivate, Read, Write, or Bank
Precharge command is being applied.
A0-A14
Input
Address Inputs: A0-A14 is sampled during row address (A0-A14) for Active commands
and the column address (A0-A9) for Read/Write commands to select one location out of
the memory array in the respective bank. (A10/AP and A12/BC# have additional functions).
The address inputs also provide the op-code during Mode Register Set commands.
A10/AP
Input
Auto-Precharge: A10 is sampled during Read/Write commands to determine whether
Autoprecharge should be performed to the accessed bank after the Read/Write operation.
(HIGH: Autoprecharge; LOW: no Autoprecharge). A10 is sampled during a Precharge
command to determine whether the Precharge applies to one bank (A10 LOW) or all
banks (A10 HIGH).
A12/BC#
Input
Burst Chop: A12/BC# is sampled during Read and Write commands to determine if burst
chop (on the fly) will be performed. (HIGH - no burst chop; LOW - burst chopped).
CS#
Input
Chip Select: CS# enables (sampled LOW) and disables (sampled HIGH) the command
decoder. All commands are masked when CS# is sampled HIGH. It is considered part of
the command code.
RAS#
Input
Row Address Strobe: The RAS# signal defines the operation commands in conjunction
with the CAS# and WE# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive edges of CK and
negative edge of CK#. When RAS# and CS# are asserted "LOW" and CAS# is asserted
"HIGH" either the BankActivate command or the Precharge command is selected by the
WE# signal. When the WE# is asserted "HIGH" the BankActivate command is selected
and the bank designated by BA is turned on to the active state. When the WE# is asserted
"LOW" the Precharge command is selected and the bank designated by BA is switched to
the idle state after the precharge operation.
CAS#
Input
Column Address Strobe: The CAS# signal defines the operation commands in
conjunction with the RAS# and WE# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive
edges of CK and negative edge of CK#. When RAS# is held "HIGH" and CS# is asserted
"LOW" the column access is started by asserting CAS# "LOW". Then, the Read or Write
command is selected by asserting WE# “HIGH" or “LOW".
WE#
Input
Write Enable: The WE# signal defines the operation commands in conjunction with the
RAS# and CAS# signals and is latched at the crossing of positive edges of CK and
negative edge of CK#. The WE# input is used to select the BankActivate or Precharge
command and Read or Write command.
LDQS,
Input /
LDQS#
Output
Bidirectional Data Strobe: Specifies timing for Input and Output data. Read Data Strobe
is edge triggered. Write Data Strobe provides a setup and hold time for data and DQM.
LDQS is for DQ0~7, UDQS is for DQ8~15. The data strobes LDOS and UDQS are paired
with LDQS# and UDQS# to provide differential pair signaling to the system during both
reads and writes.

LDM masks DQ0-DQ7, UDM masks DQ8-DQ15.

DQ0-DQ15
Input /
Output
Data I/O: The DQ0-DQ15 input and output data are synchronized with positive and
negative edges of DQS and DQS#. TheI/Os are byte-maskable during Writes.
ODT
Input
On Die Termination: ODT (registered HIGH) enables termination resistance internal to
the DDR3L SDRAM. When enabled, ODT is applied to each DQ, DQS, DQS#. The ODT
pin will be ignored if Mode-registers, MR1and MR2, are programmed to disable RTT.
RESET#
Input
Active Low Asynchronous Reset: Reset is active when RESET# is LOW, and inactive
when RESET# is HIGH. RESET# must be HIGH during normal operation. RESET# is a
CMOS rail to rail signal with DC high and low at 80% and 20% of VDD.

Functional Description
The DDR3L SDRAM is a high-speed dynamic random access memory internally configured as an eight-bank
DRAM. The DDR3L SDRAM uses an 8n prefetch architecture to achieve high speed operation. The 8n Prefetch
architecture is combined with an interface designed to transfer two data words per clock cycle at the I/O pins. A
single read or write operation for the DDR3L SDRAM consists of a single 8n-bit wide, four clock data transfer at the
internal DRAM core and two corresponding n-bit wide, one-half clock cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.
Read and write operation to the DDR3L SDRAM are burst oriented, start at a selected location, and continue for a
burst length of eight or a ‘chopped’ burst of four in a programmed sequence. Operation begins with the registration
of an Active command, which is then followed by a Read or Write command. The address bits registered coincident
with the Active command are used to select the bank and row to be activated (BA0-BA2 select the bank; A0-A14
select the row). The address bit registered coincident with the Read or Write command are used to select the
starting column location for the burst operation, determine if the auto precharge command is to be issued (via A10),
and select BC4 or BL8 mode ‘on the fly’ (via A12) if enabled in the mode register.
Prior to normal operation, the DDR3L SDRAM must be powered up and initialized in a predefined manner. The
following sections provide detailed information covering device reset and initialization, register definition, command
descriptions and device operation.

Power-up and Initialization
The Following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization
1. Apply power (RESET# is recommended to be maintained below 0.2 x VDD, all other inputs may be undefined).
RESET# needs to be maintained for minimum 200us with stable power. CKE is pulled “Low” anytime before
RESET# being de-asserted (min. time 10ns). The power voltage ramp time between 300mV to VDDmin must be
no greater than 200ms; and during the ramp, VDD>VDDQ and (VDD-VDDQ)
