gDDR2 SDRAM Mode Register Set (MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of gDDR2 SDRAM. It controls CAS latency, burst length,
burst sequence, test mode, DLL reset, tWR and various vendor specific options to make gDDR2 SDRAM useful for various applications.
The default value of the mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register must be written after power-up for proper operation.
The mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS, WE, BA0 and BA1, while controlling the state of address pins A0 ~
A15. The gDDR2 SDRAM should be in all bank precharge with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register. The mode reg-
ister set command cycle time (tMRD) is required to complete the write operation to the mode register. The mode register contents can
be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during normal operation as long as all banks are in the precharge
state. The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. Burst length is defined by A0 ~ A2 with options of 4 and
8 bit burst lengths. The burst length decodes are compatible with gDDR SDRAM. Burst address sequence type is defined by A3, CAS
latency is defined by A4 ~ A6. The gDDR2 doesn’t support half clock latency mode. A7 is used for test mode. A8 is used for DLL reset.
A7 must be set to low for normal MRS operation. Write recovery time tWR is defined by A9 ~ A11. Refer to the table for specific codes.

*1 : WR(write recovery for autoprecharge) min is determined by tCK max and WR max is determined by tCK min. WR in clock cycles
is calculated by dividing tWR (in ns) by tCK (in ns) and rounding up a non-integer value to the next integer
(WR[cycles] = tWR(ns)/tCK(ns)). The mode register must be programmed to this value. This is also used with tRP to determine tDAL.
