Description
SDRAM Differential Clock: (3 per DIMM). SCLK_Ax and its
complement SCLK_Ax# signal make a differential clock pair output. The
crossing of the positive edge of SCLK_Ax and the negative edge of its
complement SCLK_Ax# are used to sample the command and control
signals on the SDRAM.
SDRAM Complementary Differential Clock: (3 per DIMM) These are
the complementary differential DDR/DDR2 clock signals.
Chip Select: (1 per Rank) These signals select particular SDRAM
components during the active state. There is one chip select for each
SDRAM rank.
Memory Address: These signals are used to provide the multiplexed
row and column address to the SDRAM
Bank Select: These signals define which banks are selected within each
SDRAM rank
DDR2: 1-Gb technology is 8 banks.
DDR: 1-Gb technology is 4 banks. SBS_A[2] is not used.
Row Address Strobe: This signal is used with SCAS_A# and SWE_A#
(along with SCS_A#) to define the SDRAM commands.
Column Address Strobe: This signal is used with SRAS_A# and
SWE_A# (along with SCS_A#) to define the SDRAM commands.
Write Enable: This signal is used with SCAS_A# and SRAS_A# (along
with SCS_A#) to define the SDRAM commands.
Data Lines: SDQ_A signals interface to the SDRAM data bus.
Data Mask: When activated during writes, the corresponding data
groups in the SDRAM are masked. There is one SDM_Ax signal for
every data byte lane.
Data Strobes: For DDR, the rising and falling edges of SDQS_Ax are
used for capturing data during read and write transactions. For DDR2,
SDQS_Ax and its complement SDQS_Ax# signal make up a differential
strobe pair. The data is captured at the crossing point of SDQS_Ax and
its complement SDQS_Ax# during read and write transactions.
Data Strobe Complements (DDR2 only): These signals are the
complementary DDR2 strobe signals.
