256M GDDR SDRAM
MODE REGISTER SET(MRS)
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of GDDR SDRAM. It programs CAS
latency, addressing mode, burst length, test mode, DLL reset and various vendor specific options to make GDDR SDRAM
useful for variety of different applications. The default value of the mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register
must be written after EMRS setting for proper operation. The mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS
and WE(The GDDR SDRAM should be in active mode with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register). The
state of address pins A0 ~ A11 and BA0, BA1 in the same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS and WE going low is written in the mode
register. Minimum two clock cycles are requested to complete the write operation in the mode register. The mode register
contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during operation as long as all banks are
in the idle state. The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. The burst length uses A0 ~ A2,
addressing mode uses A3, CAS latency(read latency from column address) uses A4 ~ A6. A7 is used for test mode. A8 is
used for DLL reset. A7,A8, BA0 and BA1 must be set to low for normal MRS operation. Refer to the table for specific codes
for various burst length, addressing modes and CAS latencies.
