Write Leveling
Procedure Description
The memory controller initiates the leveling mode of all DRAM by setting bit 7 of MR1
to 1. When entering write leveling mode, the DQ pins are in undefined driving mode.
During write leveling mode, only the DESELECT command is supported, other than
MRS commands to change the Qoff bit (MR1[A12]) and to exit write leveling (MR1[A7]).
Upon exiting write leveling mode, the MRS command performing the exit (MR1[A7] = 0)
may also change the other MR1 bits. Because the controller levels one rank at a time,
the output of other ranks must be disabled by setting MR1 bit A12 to 1. The controller
may assert ODT after tMOD, at which time the DRAM is ready to accept the ODT signal,
unless DODTLon or DODTLoff have been altered (the ODT internal pipe delay is in-
creased when increasing WRITE latency [WL] or READ latency [RL] by the previous MR
command), then ODT assertion should be delayed by DODTLon after tMOD is satisfied,
which means the delay is now tMOD + DODTLon.
The controller may drive DQS_t LOW and DQS_c HIGH after a delay of tWLDQSEN, at
which time the DRAM has applied ODT to these signals. After tDQSL and tWLMRD, the
controller provides a single DQS_t, DQS_c edge, which is used by the DRAM to sample
CK driven from the controller. tWLMRD (MAX) timing is controller dependent.
The DRAM samples CK status with the 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. The tWLOE period is defined from the
transition of the earliest DQ bit to the corresponding transition of the latest DQ bit.
There are no read strobes (DQS_t, DQS_c) needed for these DQs. The controller sam-
ples incoming DQ and either increments or decrements DQS delay setting and launch-
es the next DQS pulse after some time, which is controller dependent. After a 0-to-1
transition is detected, the controller locks the DQS delay setting, and write leveling is
achieved for the device. The following figure shows the timing diagram and parameters
for the overall write leveling procedure.
