DDR3-4Gb E-Die
NT5CB(C)512M8EQ/NT5CB(C)256M16ER
Basic Functionality
The DDR3(L) SDRAM is a high-speed dynamic random access memory internally configured as an eight-bank DRAM.
The DDR3(L) 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 DDR3(L) SDRAM consists of a single 8n-bit wide, four clock 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 operation to the DDR3(L) 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-A15 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 DDR3(L) 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.
RESET and Initialization Procedure
Power-up Initialization sequence
The Following sequence is required for POWER UP and Initialization
1. Apply power (REET is recommended to be maintained below 0.2 x VDD, all other inputs may be undefined). REET
needs to be maintained for minimum 200μs with stable power. CKE is pulled “Low” anytime before REETbeing
de-asserted (min. time 10ns). The power voltage ramp time between 300mV to VDD min must be no greater than 200ms;
and during the ramp, VDD>VDDQ and (VDD-VDDQ) =2.5ns)
6 (2.5ns>=tCK(avg)>=1.875ns)
7 (1.875ns>=tCK(avg)>=1.5ns)
8 (1.5ns>=tCK(avg)>=1.25ns)
9 (1.25ns>=tCK(avg)>=1.07ns)
10 (1.07ns>=tCK(avg)>=0.935ns)
RFU
RFU
* 1 : BA2, A5, A8, A11 ~ A15 are RFU and must be programmed to 0 during MRS.
* 2 : The Rtt_WR value can be applied during writes even when Rtt_Nom is disabled. During write leveling, Dynamic ODT is not available.

CAS Write Latency (CWL)
The CAS Write Latency is defined by MR2 (bits A3-A5) shown in MR2. CAS Write Latency is the delay, in clock cycles,
between the internal Write command and the availability of the first bit of input data. DDR3(L) DRAM does not support any
half clock latencies. The overall Write Latency (WL) is defined as Additive Latency (AL) + CAS Write Latency (CWL);

Auto Self-Refresh (ASR) and Self-Refresh Temperature (SRT)
DDR3(L) SDRAM must support Self-Refresh operation at all supported temperatures. Applications requiring Self-Refresh
operation in the Extended Temperature Range must use the ASR function or program the SRT bit appropriately.
Optional in DDR3(L) SDRAM: Users should refer to the DRAM supplier data sheet and/or the DIMM SPD to determine if
DDR3(L) SDRAM devices support the following options or requirements referred to in this material. For more details refer to
“Extended Temperature Usage”. DDR3(L) SDRAMs must support Self-Refresh operation at all supported temperatures.
Applications requiring Self-Refresh operation in the Extended Temperature Range must use the optional ASR function or
program the SRT bit appropriately.
Dynamic ODT (Rtt_WR)
DDR3(L) SDRAM introduces a new feature “Dynamic ODT”. In certain application cases and to further enhance signal
integrity on the data bus, it is desirable that the termination strength of the DDR3(L) SDRAM can be changed without
issuing an MRS command. MR2 Register locations A9 and A10 configure the Dynamic ODT settings. In Write leveling
mode, only RTT_Nom is available. For details on Dynamic ODT operation, refer to “Dynamic ODT”.

Multi-Purpose Register (MPR)
The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration bit sequence.
Fig. 1: MPR Block Diagram
To enable the MPR, a MODE Register Set (MRS) command must be issued to MR3 Register with bit A2 = 1, prior to issuing
the MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all banks precharged and tRP met). Once the MPR is enabled, any
subsequent RD or RDA commands will be redirected to the Multi Purpose Register. The resulting operation, when a RD or
RDA command is issued, is defined by MR3 bits A[1:0] when the MPR is enabled as shown. When the MPR is enabled,
only RD or RDA commands are allowed until a subsequent MRS command is issued with the MPR disabled (MR3 bit A2 =
0). Note that in MPR mode RDA has the same functionality as a READ command which means the auto precharge part of
RDA is ignored. Power-Down mode, Self-Refresh and any other non-RD/RDA command is not allowed during MPR enable
mode. The RESET function is supported during MPR enable mode.

DDR3(L) SDRAM Command Description and Operation
Command Truth Table (Conti.)
NOTE1. All DDR3(L) SDRAM commands are defined by states of , RA, A, WEand CKE at the rising edge of the clock. The MSB of
BA, RA and CA are device density and configuration dependant.
NOTE2. REET is Low enable command which will be used only for asynchronous reset so must be maintained HIGH during any function.
NOTE3. Bank addresses (BA) determine which bank is to be operated upon. For (E)MRS BA selects an (Extended) Mode Register.
NOTE4. “V” means “H or L (but a defined logic level)” and “X” means either “defined or undefined (like floating) logic level”.
NOTE5. Burst reads or writes cannot be terminated or interrupted and Fixed/on-the-Fly BL will be defined by MRS.
NOTE6. The Power-Down Mode does not perform any refresh operation.
NOTE7. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh.
NOTE8. Self Refresh Exit is asynchronous.
NOTE9. VREF (Both VrefDQ and VrefCA) must be maintained during Self Refresh operation.
NOTE10. The No Operation command should be used in cases when the DDR3(L) SDRAM is in an idle or wait state. The purpose of the
No Operation command (NOP) is to prevent the DDR3(L) SDRAM from registering any unwanted commands between operations.
A No Operation command will not terminate a pervious operation that is still executing, such as a burst read or write cycle.
NOTE11. The Deselect command performs the same function as No Operation command.
NOTE12. Refer to the CKE Truth Table for more detail with CKE transition.

NOTE 1 CKE (N) is the logic state of CKE at clock edge N; CKE (N-1) was the state of CKE at the previous clock edge.
NOTE 2 Current state is defined as the state of the DDR3(L) SDRAM immediately prior to clock edge N.
NOTE 3 COMMAND (N) is the command registered at clock edge N, and ACTION (N) is a result of COMMAND (N), ODT is not
included here.
NOTE 4 All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved unless explicitly described elsewhere in this document.
NOTE 5 The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self-Refresh.
NOTE 6 CKE must be registered with the same value on tCKEmin consecutive positive clock edges. CKE must remain at the valid
input level the entire time it takes to achieve the tCKEmin clocks of registrations. Thus, after any CKE transition, CKE may
not transition from its valid level during the time period of tIS + tCKEmin + tIH.
NOTE 7 DESELECT and NOP are defined in the Command Truth Table.
NOTE 8 On Self-Refresh Exit DESELECT or NOP commands must be issued on every clock edge occurring during the tXS period.
Read or ODT commands may be issued only after tXSDLL is satisfied.
NOTE 9 Self-Refresh modes can only be entered from the All Banks Idle state.
NOTE 10 Must be a legal command as defined in the Command Truth Table.
NOTE 11 Valid commands for Power-Down Entry and Exit are NOP and DESELECT only.
NOTE 12 Valid commands for Self-Refresh Exit are NOP and DESELECT only.
NOTE 13 Self-Refresh cannot be entered during Read or Write operations.
NOTE 14 The Power-Down does not perform any refresh operations.
NOTE 15 “X” means “don’t care“(including floating around VREF) in Self-Refresh and Power-Down. It also applies to Address pins.
NOTE 16 VREF (Both Vref_DQ and Vref_CA) must be maintained during Self-Refresh operation.
NOTE 17 If all banks are closed at the conclusion of the read, write or precharge command, then Precharge Power-Down is entered,
otherwise Active Power-Down is entered.
NOTE 18 ‘Idle state’ is defined as all banks are closed (tRP, tDAL, etc. satisfied), no data bursts are in progress, CKE is high, and all
timings from previous operations are satisfied (tMRD, tMOD, tRFC, tZQinit, tZQoper, tZQCS, etc.) as well as all
Self-Refresh exit and Power-Down Exit parameters are satisfied (tXS, tXP, tXPDLL, etc).

No Operation (NOP) Command
The No operation (NOP) command is used to instruct the selected DDR3(L) SDRAM to perform a NOP (low and RA,
A, and WE high). This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states. Operations
already in progress are not affected.
Deselect Command
The DESELECT function (HIGH) prevents new commands from being executed by the DDR3(L) SDRAM. The DDR3(L)
SDRAM is effectively deselected. Operations already in progress are not affected.
DLL- Off Mode
DDR3(L) DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent operations until A0
bit set back to “0”. The MR1 A0 bit for DLL control can be switched either during initialization or later.
The DLL-off Mode operations listed below are an optional feature for DDR3(L). The maximum clock frequency for DLL-off
Mode is specified by the parameter tCKDLL_OFF. There is no minimum frequency limit besides the need to satisfy the
refresh interval, tREFI.
Due to latency counter and timing restrictions, only one value of CAS Latency (CL) in MR0 and CAS Write Latency (CWL)
in MR2 are supported. The DLL-off mode is only required to support setting of both CL=6 and CWL=6.
DLL-off mode will affect the Read data Clock to Data Strobe relationship (tDQSCK) but not the data Strobe to Data
relationship (tDQSQ, tQH). Special attention is needed to line up Read data to controller time domain.
Comparing with DLL-on mode, where tDQSCK starts from the rising clock edge (AL+CL) cycles after the Read command,
the DLL-off mode tDQSCK starts (AL+CL-1) cycles after the read command. Another difference is that tDQSCK may not be
small compared to tCK (it might even be larger than tCK) and the difference between tDQSCKmin and tDQSCKmax is
significantly larger than in DLL-on mode.
The timing relations on DLL-off mode READ operation have shown at the following Timing Diagram (CL=6, BL=8)

DLL on/off switching procedure
DDR3(L) DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent operation until A0 bit
set back to “0”.
DLL “on” to DLL “off” Procedure
To switch from DLL “on” to DLL “off” requires the frequency to be changed during Self-Refresh outlined in the following
procedure:
1. Starting from Idle state (all banks pre-charged, all timing fulfilled, and DRAMs On-die Termination resistors, RTT, must
be in high impedance state before MRS to MR1 to disable the DLL).
2. Set MR1 Bit A0 to “1” to disable the DLL.
3. Wait tMOD.
4. Enter Self Refresh Mode; wait until (tCKSRE) is satisfied.
5. Change frequency, in guidance with “Input Clock Frequency Change” section.
6. Wait until a stable clock is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
7. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until all tMOD timings from any
MRS command are satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled in the mode registers when Self Refresh
mode was entered, the ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW until all tMOD timings from any MRS
command are satisfied. If both ODT features were disabled in the mode registers when Self Refresh mode was entered,
ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
8. Wait tXS, and then set Mode Registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL, and WR may be
necessary. A ZQCL command may also be issued after tXS).
9. Wait for tMOD, and then DRAM is ready for next command.

DLL “off” to DLL “on” Procedure
To switch from DLL “off” to DLL “on” (with requires frequency change) during Self-Refresh:
1. Starting from Idle state (all banks pre-charged, all timings fulfilled and DRAMs On-die Termination resistors (RTT) must
be in high impedance state before Self-Refresh mode is entered).
2. Enter Self Refresh Mode, wait until tCKSRE satisfied.
3. Change frequency, in guidance with “Input clock frequency change” section.
4. Wait until a stable is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
5. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until tDLLK timing from subsequent DLL Reset command is satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled in the mode registers when Self
Refresh mode was entered. The ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW until tDLLK timings from subsequent
DLL Reset command is satisfied. If both ODT features are disabled in the mode registers when Self Refresh mode was
entered, ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
6. Wait tXS, then set MR1 Bit A0 to “0” to enable the DLL.
7. Wait tMRD, then set MR0 Bit A8 to “1” to start DLL Reset.
8. Wait tMRD, then set Mode registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL, and WR may be
necessary. After tMOD satisfied from any proceeding MRS command, a ZQCL command may also be issued during or
after tDLLK).
9. Wait for tMOD, then DRAM is ready for next command (remember to wait tDLLK after DLL Reset before applying
command requiring a locked DLL!). In addition, wait also for tZQoper in case a ZQCL command was issued.

Input Clock frequency change
Once the DDR3(L) SDRAM is initialized, the DDR3(L) SDRAM requires the clock to be “stable” during almost all states of
normal operation. This means once the clock frequency has been set and is to be in the “stable state”, the clock period is
not allowed to deviate except for what is allowed for by the clock jitter and SSC (spread spectrum clocking) specification.
The input clock frequency can be changed from one stable clock rate to another stable clock rate under two conditions: (1)
Self-Refresh mode and (2) Precharge Power-Down mode. Outside of these two modes, it is illegal to change the clock
frequency.
For the first condition, once the DDR3(L) SDRAM has been successfully placed in to Self-Refresh mode and tCKSRE has
been satisfied, the state of the clock becomes a don’t care. Once a don’t care, changing the clock frequency is permissible,
provided the new clock frequency is stable prior to tCKSRX. When entering and exiting Self-Refresh mode of the sole
purpose of changing the clock frequency. The DDR3(L) SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the
minimum and maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade.
The second condition is when the DDR3(L) SDRAM is in Precharge Power-Down mode (either fast exit mode or slow exit
mode). If the RTT_Nom feature was enabled in the mode register prior to entering Precharge power down mode, the ODT
signal must continuously be registered LOW ensuring RTT is in an off state. If the RTT_Nom feature was disabled in the
mode register prior to entering Precharge power down mode, RTT will remain in the off state. The ODT signal can be
registered either LOW or HIGH in this case. A minimum of tCKSRE must occur after CKE goes LOW before the clock
frequency may change. The DDR3(L) SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the minimum and
maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade. During the input clock frequency change, ODT and
CKE must be held at stable LOW levels. Once the input clock frequency is changed, stable new clocks must be provided to
the DRAM tCKSRX before precharge Power Down may be exited; after Precharge Power Down is exited and tXP has
expired, the DLL must be RESET via MRS. Depending on the new clock frequency additional MRS commands may need to
be issued to appropriately set the WR, CL, and CWL with CKE continuously registered high. During DLL re-lock period,
ODT must remain LOW and CKE must remain HIGH. After the DLL lock time, the DRAM is ready to operate with new clock
frequency.

Write Leveling
For better signal integrity, DDR3(L) memory adopted fly by topology for the commands, addresses, control signals, and
clocks. The fly by topology has benefits from reducing number of stubs and their length but in other aspect, causes flight
time skew between clock and strobe at every DRAM on DIMM. It makes it difficult for the Controller to maintain tDQSS,
tDSS, and tDSH specification. Therefore, the controller should support “write leveling” in DDR3(L) SDRAM to compensate
the skew.
The memory controller can use the “write leveling” feature and feedback from the DDR3(L) SDRAM to adjust the DQS to CK - relationship. The memory controller involved in the leveling must have adjustable delay setting on DQS to align the rising edge of DQS - with that of the clock at the DRAM pin. DRAM asynchronously feeds back CK , sampled with the rising edge of DQS - , through the DQ bus. The controller repeatedly delays DQS - until a
transition from 0 to 1 is detected. The DQS - delay established though this exercise would ensure tDQSS specification.
Besides tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specification also needs to be fulfilled. One way to achieve this is to combine the actual
tDQSS in the application with an appropriate duty cycle and jitter on the DQS- signals. Depending on the actual
tDQSS in the application, the actual values for tDQSL and tDQSH may have to be better than the absolute limits provided in
“AC Timing Parameters” section in order to satisfy tDSS and tDSH specification. A conceptual timing of this scheme is
show as below figure.

DQS/ driven by the controller during leveling mode must be determined by the DRAM based on ranks populated.
Similarly, the DQ bus driven by the DRAM must also be terminated at the controller.
A separated feedback mechanism should be able for each byte lane. The low byte lane’s prime DQ, DQ0, carries the
leveling feedback to the controller across the DRAM configurations x4/x8 whereas DQ0 indicates the lower diff_DQS
(diff_LDQS) to clock relationship. The high byte lane’s prime DQ, DQ8, provides the feedback of the upper diff_DQS

DRAM enters into Write leveling mode if A7 in MR1 set “High” and after finishing leveling, DRAM exits from write leveling
mode if A7 in MR1 set “Low”. Note that in write leveling mode, only DQS/ terminations are activated and deactivated
via ODT pin not like normal operation.

Leveling Mode with its output buffer enabled (MR1[bit7]=1 with MR1[bit12]=0) only RTT_Nom settings of RZQ/2, RZQ/4, and RZQ/6 are
allowed.
Procedure Description
Memory controller initiates Leveling mode of all DRAMs by setting bit 7 of MR1 to 1. With entering write leveling mode, the
DQ pins are in undefined driving mode. During write leveling mode, only NOP or Deselect commands are allowed. As well
as an MRS command to exit write leveling mode. Since the controller levels one rank at a time, the output of other rank
must be disabled by setting MR1 bit A12 to 1. Controller may assert ODT after tMOD, time at which DRAM is ready to
accept the ODT signal.
Controller may drive DQS low and high after a delay of tWLDQSEN, at which time DRAM has applied on-die
termination on these signals. After tDQSL and tWLMRD controller provides a single DQS, edge which is used by the
DRAM to sample CK – driven from controller. tWLMRD (max) timing is controller dependent.
DRAM samples CK -
status with rising edge of DQS and provides feedback on all the DQ bits asynchronously after
tWLO timing. There is a DQ output uncertainty of tWLOE defined to allow mismatch on DQ bits; there are no read strobes
(DQS/DQS) needed for these DQs. Controller samples incoming DQ and decides to increment or decrement DQS –
delay setting and launches the next DQS/ pulse after some time, which is controller dependent. Once a 0 to 1
transition is detected, the controller locks DQS – delay setting and write leveling is achieved for the device. The
following figure describes the timing diagram and parameters for the overall Write leveling procedure.

Write Leveling Mode Exit
The following sequence describes how Write Leveling Mode should be exited:
1. After the last rising strobe edge (see ~T0), stop driving the strobe signals (see ~Tc0). Note: From now on, DQ pins are in
undefined driving mode, and will remain undefined, until tMOD after the respective MR command (Te1).
2. Drive ODT pin low (tIS must be satisfied) and keep it low (see Tb0).
3. After the RTT is switched off, disable Write Level Mode via MRS command (see Tc2).
4. After tMOD is satisfied (Te1), any valid command may be registered. (MR commands may be issued after tMRD (Td1).

Extended Temperature Usage
Nanya’s DDR3(L) SDRAM supports the optional extended temperature range of 0°C to +95°C, TC. Thus, the SRT and ASR
options must be used at a minimum. The extended temperature range DRAM must be refreshed externally at 2X (double
refresh) anytime the case temperature is above +85°C (in supporting temperature range). The external refreshing
requirement is accomplished by reducing the refresh period from 64ms to 32ms. However, self refresh mode requires either
ASR or SRT to support the extended temperature. Thus either ASR or SRT must be enabled when TC is above +85°C or
self refresh cannot be used until the case temperature is at or below +85°C.

Auto Self-Refresh mode - ASR mode
DDR3(L) SDRAM provides an Auto-Refresh mode (ASR) for application ease. ASR mode is enabled by setting MR2 bit
A6=1 and MR2 bit A7=0. The DRAM will manage Self-Refresh entry in either the Normal or Extended Temperature Ranges.
In this mode, the DRAM will also manage Self-Refresh power consumption when the DRAM operating temperature
changes, lower at low temperatures and higher at high temperatures. If the ASR option is not supported by DRAM, MR2 bit
A6 must set to 0. If the ASR option is not enabled (MR2 bit A6=0), the SRT bit (MR2 bit A7) must be manually programmed
with the operating temperature range required during Self-Refresh operation. Support of the ASR option does not
automatically imply support of the Extended Temperature Range.
Self-Refresh Temperature Range - SRT
SRT applies to devices supporting Extended Temperature Range only. If ASR=0, the Self-Refresh Temperature (SRT)
Range bit must be programmed to guarantee proper self-refresh operation. If SRT=0, then the DRAM will set an
appropriate refresh rate for Self-Refresh operation in the Normal Temperature Range. If SRT=1, then the DRAM will set an
appropriate, potentially different, refresh rate to allow Self-Refresh operation in either the Normal or Extended Temperature
Ranges. The value of the SRT bit can effect self-refresh power consumption, please refer to IDD table for details.

The ACTIVE command is used to open (or activate) a row in a particular bank for subsequent access. The value on the
BA0-BA2 inputs selects the bank, and the addresses provided on inputs A0-A15 selects the row. These rows remain active
(or open) for accesses until a precharge command is issued to that bank. A PRECHARGE command must be issued before
opening a different row in the same bank.

PRECHARGE Command
The PRECHARGE command is used to deactivate the open row in a particular bank or the open row in all banks. The
bank(s) will be available for a subsequent row activation a specified time (tRP) after the PRECHARGE command is issued,
except in the case of concurrent auto precharge, where a READ or WRITE command to a different bank is allowed as long
as it does not interrupt the data transfer in the current bank and does not violate any other timing parameters. Once a bank
has been precharged, it is in the idle state and must be activated prior to any READ or WRITE commands being issued to
that bank. A PRECHARGE command is allowed if there is no open row in that bank (idle bank) or if the previously open row
is already in the process of precharging. However, the precharge period will be determined by the last PRECHARGE
command issued to the bank.

NOTES:
1. Within a burst, rising strobe edge is not necessarily fixed to be always at tDQSCK(min) or tDQSCK(max). Instead, rising strobe edge
can vary between tDQSCK(min) and tDQSCK(max).
2. The DQS, differential output high time is defined by tQSH and the DQS, differential output low time is defined by tQSL.
3. Likewise, tLZ(DQS)min and tHZ(DQS)min are not tied to tDQSCKmin (early strobe case) and tLZ(DQS)max and tHZ(DQS)max are not
tied to tDQSCKmax (late strobe case).
4. The minimum pulse width of read preamble is defined by tRPRE(min).
5. The maximum read postamble is bound by tDQSCK(min) plus tQSH(min) on the left side and tHZDSQ(max) on the right side.
6. The minimum pulse width of read postamble is defined by tRPST(min).
7. The maximum read preamble is bound by tLZDQS(min) on the left side and tDQSCK(max) on the right side.

Read Timing; Data Strobe to Data Relationship
The Data Strobe to Data relationship is shown in the following figure and is applied when the DLL is enabled and locked.
Rising data strobe edge parameters:
• tDQSQ describes the latest valid transition of the associated DQ pins.
• tQH describes the earliest invalid transition of the associated DQ pins.
Falling data strobe edge parameters:
• tDQSQ describes the latest valid transition of the associated DQ pins.
• tQH describes the earliest invalid transition of the associated DQ pins.
• tDQSQ; both rising/falling edges of DQS, no tAC defined

Write Operation
DDR3(L) Burst Operation
During a READ or WRITE command, DDR3(L) will support BC4 and BL8 on the fly using address A12 during the READ or
WRITE (Auto Precharge can be enabled or disabled).
A12=0, BC4 (BC4 = Burst Chop, tCCD=4)
A12=1, BL8
A12 is used only for burst length control, not as a column address.
WRITE Timing Violations
Motivation
Generally, if timing parameters are violated, a complete reset/initialization procedure has to be initiated to make sure the
DRAM works properly. However, it is desirable for certain minor violations that the DRAM is guaranteed not to “hang up”
and errors be limited to that particular operation.
For the following, it will be assumed that there are no timing violations with regard to the Write command itself (including
ODT, etc.) and that it does satisfy all timing requirements not mentioned below.
Data Setup and Hold Violations
Should the data to strobe timing requirements (tDS, tDH) be violated, for any of the strobe edges associated with a write
burst, then wrong data might be written to the memory location addressed with the offending WRITE command.
Subsequent reads from that location might result in unpredictable read data, however, the DRAM will work properly
otherwise.
Strobe to Strobe and Strobe to Clock Violations
Should the strobe timing requirements (tDQSH, tDQSL, tWPRE, tWPST) or the strobe to clock timing requirements (tDSS,
tDSH, tDQSS) be violated, for any of the strobe edges associated with a Write burst, then wrong data might be written to
the memory location addressed with the offending WRITE command. Subsequent reads from that location might result in
unpredictable read data, however the DRAM will work properly otherwise.
Write Timing Parameters
This drawing is for example only to enumerate the strobe edges that “belong” to a write burst. No actual timing violations
are shown here. For a valid burst all timing parameters for each edge of a burst need to be satisfied (not only for one edge as shown).

Refresh Command
The Refresh command (REF) is used during normal operation of the DDR3(L) SDRAMs. This command is not persistent,
so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The DDR3(L) SDRAM requires Refresh cycles at an average periodic
interval of tREFI. When , RA, and A are held Low and WE High at the rising edge of the clock, the chip enters a
Refresh cycle. All banks of the SDRAM must be precharged and idle for a minimum of the precharge time tRP(min) before
the Refresh Command can be applied. The refresh addressing is generated by the internal refresh controller. This makes
the address bits “Don’t Care” during a Refresh command. An internal address counter suppliers the address during the
refresh cycle. No control of the external address bus is required once this cycle has started. When the refresh cycle has
completed, all banks of the SDRAM will be in the precharged (idle) state. A delay between the Refresh Command and the
next valid command, except NOP or DES, must be greater than or equal to the minimum Refresh cycle time tRFC(min) as
shown in the following figure.
In general, a Refresh command needs to be issued to the DDR3(L) SDRAM regularly every tREFI interval. To allow for
improved efficiency in scheduling and switching between tasks, some flexibility in the absolute refresh interval is provided.
A maximum of 8 Refresh commands can be postponed during operation of the DDR3(L) SDRAM, meaning that at no point
in time more than a total of 8 Refresh commands are allowed to be postponed. In case that 8 Refresh commands are
postponed in a row, the resulting maximum interval between the surrounding Refresh commands is limited to 9 x tREFI. A
maximum of 8 additional Refresh commands can be issued in advance (“pulled in”), with each one reducing the number of
regular Refresh commands required later by one. Note that pulling in more than 8 Refresh commands in advance does not
further reduce the number of regular Refresh commands required later, so that the resulting maximum interval between two
surrounding Refresh command is limited to 9 x tREFI. Before entering Self-Refresh Mode, all postponed Refresh
commands must be executed.

Self-Refresh Operation
The Self-Refresh command can be used to retain data in the DDR3(L) SDRAM, even if the reset of the system is powered
down. When in the Self-Refresh mode, the DDR3(L) SDRAM retains data without external clocking. The DDR3(L) SDRAM
device has a built-in timer to accommodate Self-Refresh operation. The Self-Refresh Entry (SRE) Command is defined by
having , RA, A, and E held low with WE high at the rising edge of the clock.
Before issuing the Self-Refreshing-Entry command, the DDR3(L) SDRAM must be idle with all bank precharge state with
tRP satisfied. Also, on-die termination must be turned off before issuing Self-Refresh-Entry command, by either registering
ODT pin low “ODTL + 0.5tCK” prior to the Self-Refresh Entry command or using MRS to MR1 command. Once the
Self-Refresh Entry command is registered, CKE must be held low to keep the device in Self-Refresh mode. During normal
operation (DLL on), MR1 (A0=0), the DLL is automatically disabled upon entering Self-Refresh and is automatically
enabled (including a DLL-RESET) upon exiting Self-Refresh.
When the DDR3(L) SDRAM has entered Self-Refresh mode, all of the external control signals, except CKE and REET,
are “don’t care”. For proper Self-Refresh operation, all power supply and reference pins (VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ,
VRefCA, and VRefDQ) must be at valid levels. The DRAM initiates a minimum of one Refresh command internally within
tCKE period once it enters Self-Refresh mode.
The clock is internally disabled during Self-Refresh operation to save power. The minimum time that the DDR3(L) SDRAM
must remain in Self-Refresh mode is tCKE. The user may change the external clock frequency or halt the external clock
tCKSRE after Self-Refresh entry is registered; however, the clock must be restarted and stable tCKSRX before the device
can exit Self-Refresh mode.
The procedure for exiting Self-Refresh requires a sequence of events. First, the clock must be stable prior to CKE going
back HIGH. Once a Self-Refresh Exit Command (SRX, combination of CKE going high and either NOP or Deselect on
command bus) is registered, a delay of at least tXS must be satisfied before a valid command not requiring a locked DLL
can be issued to the device to allow for any internal refresh in progress. Before a command which requires a locked DLL
can be applied, a delay of at least tXSDLL and applicable ZQCAL function requirements must be satisfied.

Before a command that requires a locked DLL can be applied, a delay of at least tXSDLL must be satisfied. Depending on
the system environment and the amount of time spent in Self-Refresh, ZQ calibration commands may be required to
compensate for the voltage and temperature drift as described in “ZQ Calibration Commands”. To issue ZQ calibration
commands, applicable timing requirements must be satisfied.
CKE must remain HIGH for the entire Self-Refresh exit period tXSDLL for proper operation except for Self-Refresh re-entry.
Upon exit from Self-Refresh, the DDR3(L) SDRAM can be put back into Self-Refresh mode after waiting at least tXS period
and issuing one refresh command (refresh period of tRFC). NOP or deselect commands must be registered on each
positive clock edge during the Self-Refresh exit interval tXS. ODT must be turned off during tXSDLL.
The use of Self-Refresh mode instructs the possibility that an internally times refresh event can be missed when CKE is
raised for exit from Self-Refresh mode. Upon exit from Self-Refresh, the DDR3(L) SDRAM requires a minimum of one extra
refresh command before it is put back into Self-Refresh mode.

Power-Down Entry and Exit
Power-Down is synchronously entered when CKE is registered low (along with NOP or Deselect command). CKE is not
allowed to go low while mode register set command, MPR operations, ZQCAL operations, DLL locking or read/write
operation are in progress. CKE is allowed to go low while any of other operation such as row activation, precharge or auto
precharge and refresh are in progress, but power-down IDD spec will not be applied until finishing those operation.
The DLL should be in a locked state when power-down is entered for fastest power-down exit timing. If the DLL is not
locked during power-down entry, the DLL must be reset after exiting power-down mode for proper read operation and
synchronous ODT operation. DRAM design provides all AC and DC timing and voltage specification as well as proper DLL
operation with any CKE intensive operations as long as DRAM controller complies with DRAM specifications.
During Power-Down, if all banks are closed after any in progress commands are completed, the device will be in precharge
Power-Down mode; if any bank is open after in progress commands are completed, the device will be in active
Power-Down mode.
Entering Power-down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK, ODT, E, and REET. To protect
DRAM internal delay on CKE line to block the input signals, multiple NOP or Deselect commands are needed during the
CKE switch off and cycle(s) after, this timing period are defined as tCPDED. CKE_low will result in deactivation of
command and address receivers after tCPDED has expired.

The power-down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered high (along with a NOP or Deselect command).
CKE high must be maintained until tCKE has been satisfied. A valid, executable command can be applied with power-down
exit latency, tXP and/or tXPDLL after CKE goes high. Power-down exit latency is defined at AC spec table of this datasheet.

On-Die Termination (ODT)
ODT (On-Die Termination) is a feature of the DDR3(L) SDRAM that allows the DRAM to turn on/off termination resistance
for each DQ, DQS, , and DM for x8 configuration (and TDQS, T for x8 configuration, when enabled via A11=1 in
MR1) via the ODT control pin. For x16 configuration, ODT is applied to each DQ, DQSU, U, DQSL, L, DMU and
DMl signal via the ODT control pin. The ODT feature is designed to improve signal integrity of the memory channel by
allowing the DRAM controller to independently turn on/off termination resistance for any or all DRAM devices.
The ODT feature is turned off and not supported in Self-Refresh mode.
A simple functional representation of the DRAM ODT feature is shown as below.

circuitry
like
RCV, ...
VDDQ / 2
RTT
Switch
DQ , DQS, DM, TDQS
The switch is enabled by the internal ODT control logic, which uses the external ODT pin and other control information. The
value of RTT is determined by the settings of Mode Register bits. The ODT pin will be ignored if the Mode Register MR1
and MR2 are programmed to disable ODT and in self-refresh mode.
ODT Mode Register and ODT Truth Table
The ODT Mode is enabled if either of MR1 {A2, A6, A9} or MR2 {A9, A10} are non-zero. In this case, the value of RTT is
determined by the settings of those bits.
Application: Controller sends WR command together with ODT asserted.
One possible application: The rank that is being written to provides termination.
DRAM turns ON termination if it sees ODT asserted (except ODT is disabled by MR)
DRAM does not use any write or read command decode information.

Synchronous ODT Mode
Synchronous ODT mode is selected whenever the DLL is turned on and locked. Based on the power-down definition, these
modes are:
Any bank active with CKE high
Refresh with CKE high
Idle mode with CKE high
Active power down mode (regardless of MR0 bit A12)
Precharge power down mode if DLL is enabled during precharge power down by MR0 bit A12
The direct ODT feature is not supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must be disabled by continuously registering the ODT pin low and/or by programming the RTT_Nom bits MR1{A9,A6,A2} to {0,0,0} via a mode register
set command during DLL-off mode.
In synchronous ODT mode, RTT will be turned on ODTLon clock cycles after ODT is sampled high by a rising clock edge
and turned off ODTLoff clock cycles after ODT is registered low by a rising clock edge. The ODT latency is tied to the write
latency (WL) by: ODTLonn = WL - 2; ODTLoff = WL-2.
ODT Latency and Posted ODT
In synchronous ODT Mode, the Additive Latency (AL) programmed into the Mode Register (MR1) also applies to the ODT
signal. The DRAM internal ODT signal is delayed for a number of clock cycles defined by the Additive Latency (AL) relative
to the external ODT signal. ODTLon = CWL + AL - 2; ODTLoff = CWL + AL - 2. For details, refer to DDR3(L) SDRAM
latency definitions.

Timing Parameters
In synchronous ODT mode, the following timing parameters apply: ODTLon, ODTLoff, tAON min/max, tAOF min/max.
Minimum RTT turn-on time (tAON min) is the point in time when the device leaves high impedance and ODT resistance
begins to turn on. Maximum RTT turn-on time (tAON max) is the point in time when the ODT resistance is fully on. Both are
measured from ODTLon.
Minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOF min) is the point in time when the device starts to turn off the ODT resistance. Maximum
RTT turn off time (tAOF max) is the point in time when the on-die termination has reached high impedance. Both are
measured from ODTLoff.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain high until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a Write command is registered by the SDRAM with
ODT high, then ODT must remain high until ODTH4 (BL=4) or ODTH8 (BL=8) after the write command. ODTH4 and
ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered high to ODT registered low or from the registration of a write command until
ODT is registered low.

ODT must be held high for at least ODTH4 after assertion (T1); ODT must be kept high ODTH4 (BL=4) or ODTH8 (BL=8)
after Write command (T7). ODTH is measured from ODT first registered high to ODT first registered low, or from
registration of Write command with ODT high to ODT registered low. Note that although ODTH4 is satisfied from ODT
registered at T6 ODT must not go low before T11 as ODTH4 must also be satisfied from the registration of the Write
command at T7.

ODT during Reads:
As the DDR3(L) SDRAM cannot terminate and drive at the same time, RTT must be disabled at least half a clock cycle
before the read preamble by driving the ODT pin low appropriately. RTT may not be enabled until the end of the post-amble
as shown in the following figure. DRAM turns on the termination when it stops driving which is determined by tHZ. If DRAM
stops driving early (i.e. tHZ is early), then tAONmin time may apply. If DRAM stops driving late (i.e. tHZ is late), then DRAM
complies with tAONmax timing. Note that ODT may be disabled earlier before the Read and enabled later after the Read
than shown in this example.
ODT must be disabled externally during Reads by driving ODT low. (Example: CL=6;
AL=CL-1=5; RL=AL+CL=11; CWL=5; ODTLon=CWL+AL-2=8; ODTLoff=CWL+AL-2=8)

Dynamic ODT
In certain application cases and to further enhance signal integrity on the data bus, it is desirable that the termination
strength of the DDR3(L) SDRAM can be changed without issuing an MRS command. This requirement is supported by the
“Dynamic ODT” feature as described as follows:
Functional Description
The Dynamic ODT Mode is enabled if bit (A9) or (A10) of MR2 is set to ‘1’. The function is described as follows:
Two RTT values are available: RTT_Nom and RTT_WR.
The value for RTT_Nom is preselected via bits A[9,6,2] in MR1.
The value for RTT_WR is preselected via bits A[10,9] in MR2.
During operation without write commands, the termination is controlled as follows:
Nominal termination strength RTT_Nom is selected.
Termination on/off timing is controlled via ODT pin and latencies ODTLon and ODTLoff.
When a Write command (WR, WRA, WRS4, WRS8, WRAS4, WRAS8) is registered, and if Dynamic ODT is enabled, the
termination is controlled as follows:
A latency ODTLcnw after the write command, termination strength RTT_WR is selected.
A latency ODTLcwn8 (for BL8, fixed by MRS or selected OTF) or ODTLcwn4 (for BC4, fixed by MRS or selected OTF) after the
write command, termination strength RTT_Nom is selected.
Termination on/off timing is controlled via ODT pin and ODTLon, ODTLoff.
The following table shows latencies and timing parameters which are relevant for the on-die termination control in Dynamic
ODT mode.
The dynamic ODT feature is not supported at DLL-off mode. User must use MRS command to set RTT_WR, MR2[A10,A9
= [0,0], to disable Dynamic ODT externally.
When ODT is asserted, it must remain high until ODTH4 is satisfied. If a Write command is registered by the SDRAM with
ODT high, then ODT must remain high until ODTH4 (BL=4) or ODTH8 (BL=8) after the Write command. ODTH4 and
ODTH8 are measured from ODT registered high to ODT registered low or from the registration of Write command until ODT
is register low.

Asynchronous ODT Mode
Asynchronous ODT mode is selected when DRAM runs in DLLon mode, but DLL is temporarily disabled (i.e. frozen) in
precharge power-down (by MR0 bit A12). Based on the power down mode definitions, this is currently Precharge power
down mode if DLL is disabled during precharge power down by MR0 bit A12.
In asynchronous ODT timing mode, internal ODT command is NOT delayed by Additive Latency (AL) relative to the
external ODT command.
In asynchronous ODT mode, the following timing parameters apply: t AONPD min/max, tAOFPD min/max.
Minimum RTT turn-on time (tAONPD min) is the point in time when the device termination circuit leaves high impedance state
and ODT resistance begins to turn on. Maximum RTT turn on time (t AONPD max) is the point in time when the ODT
resistance is fully on.
tAONPDmin and tAONPDmax are measured from ODT being sampled high.
Minimum RTT turn-off time (tAOFPDmin) is the point in time when the devices termination circuit starts to turn off the ODT
resistance. Maximum ODT turn off time (t AOFPDmax) is the point in time when the on-die termination has reached high
impedance. tAOFPDmin and tAOFPDmax are measured from ODT being sample low.
Asynchronous ODT Timings on DDR3(L) SDRAM with fast ODT transition: AL is
ignored.

Synchronous to Asynchronous ODT Mode Transition during Power-Down Entry
If DLL is selected to be frozen in Precharge Power Down Mode by the setting of bit A12 in MR0 to “0”, there is a transition
period around power down entry, where the DDR3(L) SDRAM may show either synchronous or asynchronous ODT
behavior.
The transition period is defined by the parameters tANPD and tCPDED(min). tANPD is equal to (WL-1) and is counted
backwards in time from the clock cycle where CKE is first registered low. tCPDED(min) starts with the clock cycle where
CKE is first registered low. The transition period begins with the starting point of tANPD and terminates at the end point of
tCPDED(min). If there is a Refresh command in progress while CKE goes low, then the transition period ends at the later
one of tRFC(min) after the Refresh command and the end point of tCPDED(min). Please note that the actual starting point
at tANPD is excluded from the transition period, and the actual end point at tCPDED(min) and tRFC(min, respectively, are
included in the transition period.
ODT assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAONPDmin and
(ODTLon*tCK + tAONmin) and as late as the larger of tAONPDmax and (ODTLon*tCK + tAONmax). ODT de-assertion
during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAOFPDmin and (ODTLoff*tCK +
tAOFmin) and as late as the larger of tAOFPDmax and (ODTLoff*tCK + tAOFmax). Note that, if AL has a large value, the
range where RTT is uncertain becomes quite large. Figure 85 shows the three different cases: ODT_A, synchronous
behavior before tANPD; ODT_B has a state change during the transition period; ODT_C shows a state change after the
transition period.

Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode transition during Power-Down Exit
If DLL is selected to be frozen in Precharge Power Down Mode by the setting of bit A12 in MR0 to “0”, there is also a
transition period around power down exit, where either synchronous or asynchronous response to a change in ODT must
be expected from the DDR3(L) SDRAM.
This transition period starts tANPD before CKE is first registered high, and ends tXPDLL after CKE is first registered high.
tANPD is equal to (WL -1) and is counted (backwards) from the clock cycle where CKE is first registered high.
ODT assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of tAONPDmin and (ODTLon*tCK+tAONmin) and as late as the larger of tAONPDmax and (ODTLon*tCK+tAONmax). ODT de-assertion during the transition period may result in an RTT change as early as the smaller of t AOFPDmin and (ODTLoff*tCK+tAOFmin) and as late as
the larger of tAOFPDmax and (ODToff*tCK+tAOFmax). Note that if AL has a large value, the range where RTT is uncertain
becomes quite large. The following figure shows the three different cases: ODT_C, asynchronous response before t ANPD;
ODT_B has a state change of ODT during the transition period; ODT_A shows a state change of ODT after the transition
period with synchronous response.

Asynchronous to Synchronous ODT Mode during short CKE high and short CKE low
periods
If the total time in Precharge Power Down state or Idle state is very short, the transition periods for PD entry and PD exit
may overlap. In this case, the response of the DDR3(L) SDRAMs RTT to a change in ODT state at the input may be
synchronous or asynchronous from the state of the PD entry transition period to the end of the PD exit transition period
(even if the entry ends later than the exit period).
If the total time in Idle state is very short, the transition periods for PD exit and PD entry may overlap. In this case, the
response of the DDR3(L) SDRAMs RTT to a change in ODT state at the input may be synchronous or asynchronous from
the state of the PD exit transition period to the end of the PD entry transition period. Note that in the following figure, it is
assumed that there was no Refresh command in progress when Idle state was entered.

ZQ Calibration Commands
ZQ Calibration Description
ZQ Calibration command is used to calibrate DRAM Ron and ODT values. DDR3(L) SDRAM needs longer time to calibrate
output driver and on-die termination circuits at initialization and relatively smaller time to perform periodic calibrations.
ZQCL command is used to perform the initial calibration during power-up initialization sequence. This command may be
issued at any time by the controller depending on the system environment. ZQCL command triggers the calibration engine
inside the DRAM and once calibration is achieved the calibrated values are transferred from calibration engine to DRAM IO
which gets reflected as updated output driver and on-die termination values.
The first ZQCL command issued after reset is allowed a timing period of tZQinit to perform the full calibration and the
transfer of values. All other ZQCL commands except the first ZQCL command issued after RESET is allowed a timing
period of tZQoper.
ZQCS command is used to perform periodic calibrations to account for voltage and temperature variations. A shorter timing
window is provided to perform the calibration and transfer of values as defined by timing parameter tZQCS. One ZQCS
command can effectively correct a minimum of 0.5 % (ZQ Correction) of RON and RTT impedance error within 64 nCK for
all speed bins assuming the maximum sensitivities specified in the ‘Output Driver Voltage and Temperature Sensitivity’ and
‘ODT Voltage and Temperature Sensitivity’ tables. The appropriate interval between ZQCS commands can be determined
from these tables and other application-specific parameters. One method for calculating the interval between ZQCS
commands, given the temperature (Tdriftrate) and voltage (Vdriftrate) drift rates that the SDRAM is subject to in the
application, is illustrated. The interval could be defined by the following formula:
where TSens = max(dRTTdT, dRONdTM) and VSens = max(dRTTdV, dRONdVM) define the SDRAM temperature and
voltage sensitivities.
For example, if TSens = 1.5% / oC, VSens = 0.15% / mV, Tdriftrate = 1 oC / sec and Vdriftrate = 15 mV / sec, then the
interval between ZQCS commands is calculated as:
No other activities should be performed on the DRAM channel by the controller for the duration of tZQinit, tZQoper, or
tZQCS. The quiet time on the DRAM channel allows calibration of output driver and on-die termination values. Once DRAM
calibration is achieved, the DRAM should disable ZQ current consumption path to reduce power.
All banks must be precharged and tRP met before ZQCL or ZQCS commands are issued by the controller.
ZQ calibration commands can also be issued in parallel to DLL lock time when coming out of self refresh. Upon self-refresh
exit, DDR3(L) SDRAM will not perform an IO calibration without an explicit ZQ calibration command. The earliest possible
time for ZQ Calibration command (short or long) after self refresh exit is tXS.
In systems that share the ZQ resistor between devices, the controller must not allow any overlap of tZQoper, tZQinit, or
tZQCS between ranks.

Note:
1. CKE must be continuously registered high during the calibration procedure.
2. On-die termination must be disabled via the ODT signal or MRS during the calibration procedure.
3. All devices connected to the DQ bus should be high impedance during the calibration procedure.
ZQ External Resistor Value, Tolerance, and Capacitive loading
In order to use the ZQ calibration function, a 240 ohm +/- 1% tolerance external resistor connected between the ZQ pin and
ground. The single resistor can be used for each SDRAM or one resistor can be shared between two SDRAMs if the ZQ
calibration timings for each SDRAM do not overlap. The total capacitive loading on the ZQ pin must be limited.

Vref Tolerances
The dc-tolerance limits and ac-noise limits for the reference voltages VrefCA and VrefDQ are illustrated in the following
figure. It shows a valid reference voltage Vref(t) as a function of time. (Vref stands for VrefCA and VrefDQ likewise).
Vref(DC) is the linear average of Vref(t) over a very long period of time (e.g.,1 sec). This average has to meet the min/max
requirements in previous page. Furthermore Vref(t) may temporarily deviate from Vref(DC) by no more than ±1% VDD.
The voltage levels for setup and hold time measurements VIH(AC), VIH(DC), VIL(AC), and VIL(DC) are dependent on Vref.
“Vref” shall be understood as Vref(DC).
The clarifies that dc-variations of Vref affect the absolute voltage a signal has to reach to achieve a valid high or low level
and therefore the time to which setup and hold is measured. System timing and voltage budgets need to account for
Vref(DC) deviations from the optimum position within the data-eye of the input signals.
This also clarifies that the DRAM setup/hold specification and de-rating values need to include time and voltage associated
with Vref ac-noise. Timing and voltage effects due to ac-noise on Vref up to the specified limit (±1% of VDD) are included in
DRAM timing and their associated de-ratings.

Single-ended requirements for differential signals
Each individual component of a differential signal (CK, DQS, DQSL, DQSU, , ,L, or U) has also to comply
with certain requirements for single-ended signals.
CK and have to approximately reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately equal to the ac-levels (VIH (ac) / VIL (ac)) for
ADD/CMD signals) in every half-cycle. DQS, DQSL, DQSU, , L have to reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately the ac-levels (VIH (ac) / VIL (ac)) for DQ signals) in every half-cycle proceeding and following a valid transition.
Note that the applicable ac-levels for ADD/CMD and DQ’s might be different per speed-bin etc. E.g., if VIH150
(ac)/VIL150(ac) is used for ADD/CMD signals, then these ac-levels apply also for the singleended signals CK and

se: Single-ended Signals
For Ron = RZQ/7 setting
Note 1): In two cases, a maximum slew rate of 6V/ns applies for a single DQ signal within a byte lane.
Case 1 is defined for a single DQ signal within a byte lane which is switching into a certain direction (either from high to low or low to high)
while all remaining DQ signals in the same byte lane are static (i.e. they stay at either high or low).
Case 2 is defined for a single DQ signal within a byte lane which is switching into a certain direction (either from high to low or low to high)
while all remaining DQ signals in the same byte lane are switching into the opposite direction (i.e. from low to high or high to low
respectively). For the remaining DQ signal switching into the opposite direction, the regular maximum limit of 5 V/ns applies.

Reference Load for AC Timing and Output Slew Rate
The following figure represents the effective reference load of 25 ohms used in defining the relevant AC timing parameters
of the device as well as output slew rate measurements.
It is not intended as a precise representation of any particular system environment or a depiction of the actual load
presented by a production tester. System designers should use IBIS or other simulation tools to correlate the timing
reference load to a system environment. Manufacturers correlate to their production test conditions, generally one or more
coaxial transmission lines terminated at the tester electronics.

NOTE 1. The tolerance limits are specified after calibration with stable voltage and temperature. For the behavior of the tolerance
limits if temperature or voltage changes after calibration, see following section on voltage and temperature sensitivity.
NOTE 2. The tolerance limits are specified under the condition that VDDQ = VDD and that VSSQ = VSS.
NOTE 3. Pull-down and pull-up output driver impedances are recommended to be calibrated at 0.5 x VDDQ. Other calibration
schemes may be used to achieve the linearity spec shown above, e.g. calibration at 0.2 x VDDQ and 0.8 x VDDQ.

NOTE 1. The tolerance limits are specified after calibration with stable voltage and temperature. For the behavior of the tolerance limits
if temperature or voltage changes after calibration, see following section on voltage and temperature sensitivity.
NOTE 2. The tolerance limits are specified under the condition that VDDQ = VDD and that VSSQ = VSS.
NOTE 3. Pull-down and pull-up ODT resistors are recommended to be calibrated at 0.5 x VDDQ. Other calibration schemes may be
used to achieve the linearity spec shown above, e.g. calibration at 0.2 x VDDQ and 0.8 x VDDQ.
NOTE 4. Not a specification requirement, but a design guide line.
NOTE 5. Measurement definition for RTT:
Apply VIH(ac) to pin under test and measure current I(VIH(ac)), then apply VIL(ac) to pin under test and measure current
