w
Partial Array Self Refresh
The 3-bit PASR field is used to specify the active memory array. The active memory
array will be kept periodically refreshed whereas the disabled parts will be excluded
from refresh and previously stored data will get lost. The normal operation still can be
executed in disabled array, but stored data is not guaranteed. This way the customer
can dynamically adapt the memory capacity in steps of 8 Mbit (4Mbit at lowest) to
one’s need without paying a power penalty. Please refer to Figure 9.

2.3.1 Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR)
By applying PASR the user can dynamically customize the memory capacity to one’s actual needs in normal
operation mode and standby mode. With the activation of PASR there is no longer a power penalty paid for the
larger CellularRAM memory capacity in case only e.g. 8 Mbits are used by the host system.
Bit2 down to bit0 specify the active memory array and its location (starting from bottom or top). The memory parts
not used are powered down immediately after the mode register has been programmed. Advice for the proper
register setting including the address ranges is given in Figure 9.

Figure 9 PASR Programming Scheme
PASR is effective in normal operation and standby mode as soon as it has been configured by register
programming. Default setting is the entire memory array.
Figure 10 shows an exemplary PASR configuration where it is assumed that the application uses max. 8 Mbit out
of 32 Mbit.
