Functional Description
The DDR3 SDRAM is a high-speed dynamic random access memory internally configured as an eight-bank DRAM.
The DDR3 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 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 DDR3 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-A13
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 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.
