4.4 LPDDR3 Pad Definition and Description
[Table 1] Pad Definition and Description
Name
Type
Description
Input
Clock: CK_t and CK_c are differential clock inputs. All Double Data Rate (DDR) CA inputs are sampled on both positive
and negative edge of CK. Single Data Rate (SDR) inputs, CS_n and CKE, are sampled at the positive Clock edge.
Clock is defined as the differential pair, CK_t and CK_c. The positive Clock edge is defined by the crosspoint of a rising
CK_t and a falling CK_c. The negative Clock edge is defined by the crosspoint of a falling CK_t and a rising CK_c.
CKE
Input
Clock Enable: CKE HIGH activates and CKE LOW deactivates internal clock signals and therefore device input buffers
and output drivers. Power savings modes are entered and exited through CKE transitions.
CKE is considered part of the command code. See Command Truth table for command code descriptions. CKE is sampled
at the positive Clock edge.
CS_n
Input
Chip Select: CS_n is considered part of the command code. See Command Truth table for command code descriptions.
CS_n is sampled at the positive Clock edge.
CA0 - CA9
Input
DDR Command/Address Inputs: Uni-directional command/address bus inputs.
CA is considered part of the command code. See Command Truth table for command code descriptions.

Data Inputs/Outputs: Bi-directional data bus
Data Strobes (Bi-directional, Differential): The data strobe is bi-directional (used for read and write data) and differential
(DQS_t and DQS_c). It is output with read data and input with write data. DQS is edge-aligned to read data and centered
with write data.

Input Data Mask: DM is the input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked when DM is sampled HIGH coincident
with that input data during a Write access. DM is sampled on both edges of DQS. Although DM is for input only, the DM

LPDDR3 SDRAM
5.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
LPDDR3-SDRAM is a high-speed synchronous DRAM device internally configured as an 8-Bank memory.
This device contains the following number of bits:
8Gb has 8,589,934,592 bits
LPDDR3 devices use a double data rate architecture on the Command/Address (CA) bus to reduce the number of input pins in the system. The 10-bit CA
bus contains command, address, and bank information. Each command uses one clock cycle, during which command information is transferred on both
the positive and negative edge of the clock.
These devices also use a double data rate architecture on the DQ pins to achieve high speed operation. The double data rate architecture is essentially
an 8n prefetch architecture with an interface designed to transfer two data bits per DQ every clock cycle at the I/O pins. A single read or write access for
the LPDDR3 SDRAM effectively consists of a single 8n-bit wide, one clock cycle data transfer at the internal DRAM core and eight corresponding n-bit
wide, one-half-clock-cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.
Read and write accesses to the LPDDR3 SDRAMs are burst oriented; accesses start at a selected location and continue for a programmed number of
locations in a programmed sequence. Accesses begin with the registration of an Activate command, which is then followed by a Read or Write command.
The address and BA bits registered coincident with the Activate command are used to select the row and the Bank to be accessed. The address bits
registered coincident with the Read or Write command are used to select the Bank and the starting column location for the burst access.
Prior to normal operation, the LPDDR3 SDRAM must be initialized. The following section provides detailed information covering device initialization, register definition, command description and device operation.

6.1 Simplified LPDDR3 State Diagram
LPDDR3-SDRAM state diagram provides a simplified illustration of allowed state transitions and the related commands to control them. For a complete
definition of the device behavior, the information provided by the state diagram should be integrated with the truth tables and timing specification.
The truth tables provide complementary information to the state diagram, they clarify the device behavior and the applied restrictions when considering
the actual state of all the banks.
For the command definition, see datasheet of [Command Definition & Timing Diagram].

NOTE :
1) In the Idle state, all banks are precharged.
2) In the case of MRW to enter CA Training mode or Write Leveling Mode, the state machine will not automatically return to the Idle state. In these cases an additional MRW
command is required to exit either operating mode and return to the Idle state. See sections “CA Training” or “Write Leveling”.
3) Terminated bursts are not allowed. For these state transitions, the burst operation must be completed before the transition can occur.
4) Use caution with this diagram. It is intended to provide a floorplan of the possible state transitions and commands to control them, not all details. In particular, situations
involving more than one bank are not captured in full detail.

6.2 Mode Register Definition
6.2.1 Mode Register Assignment and Definition in LPDDR3 SDRAM
Table 3 shows the mode registers for LPDDR3 SDRAM. Each register is denoted as “R” if it can be read but not written, “W” if it can be written but not
read, and “R/W” if it can be read and written. A Mode Register Read command is used to read a mode register. A Mode Register Write command is used
to write a mode register.

NOTE :
1) RZQI, if supported, will be set upon completion of the MRW ZQ Initialization Calibration command.
2) If ZQ is connected to VDDCA to set default calibration, OP[4:3] shall be set to 01. If ZQ is not connected to VDDCA, either OP[4:3] = 01 or OP[4:3] =10 might indicate a ZQpin assembly error. It is recommended that the assembly error is corrected.
3) In the case of possible assembly error (either OP[4:3]=01 or OP[4:3]=10 per Note 4), the LPDDR3 device will default to factory trim settings for RON, and will ignore ZQ calibration commands. In either case, the system may not function as intended.
4) In the case of the ZQ self-test returning a value of 11b, this result indicates that the device has detected a resistor connection to the ZQ pin. However, this result cannot be
used to validate the ZQ resistor value or that the ZQ resistor tolerance meets the specified limits (i.e 240-Ω +/- 1%).
