User's Guide SPRU986B–November 2007 DDR2 Memory Controller 1 Introduction This document describes the DDR2 memory controller in the TMS320DM643x Digital Media Processor (DMP). 1.1 Purpose of the Peripheral The DDR2 memory controller is used to interface with JESD79D-2A standard compliant DDR2 SDRAM devices. Memories types such as DDR1 SDRAM, SDR SDRAM, SBSRAM, and asynchronous memories are not supported. The DDR2 memory controller is the major memory location for program and data storage. 1.2 Fe

Figure 1 displays the general data paths to on-chip peripherals and external DDR2 SDRAM. Master peripherals, EDMA, the ARM processor, and DSP can access the DDR2 memory controller through the switched central resource (SCR). Figure 1.

The DDR2 memory controller can gluelessly interface to most standard DDR2 SDRAM devices and supports such features as self-refresh mode and prioritized refresh. In addition, it provides flexibility through programmable parameters such as the refresh rate, CAS latency, and man

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.1.2 Clock Configuration The frequency of PLL2_SYSCLK1 is configured by selecting the appropriate PLL multiplier and divider ratio. The PLL multiplier and divider ratio are selected by programming registers within PLLC2. Table 1 shows a list of PLL multiplier and divider settings to achieve certain DDR2 frequencies. The data in Table 1 is derived by assuming a 27-MHZ reference clock. See the device-specific data manual for the clock frequencies that are suppor

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.1 Refresh Mode The DDR2 memory controller issues refresh commands to the DDR2 SDRAM memory (Figure 4). REFR is automatically preceded by a DCAB command, ensuring the deactivation of all CE spaces and banks selected. Following the DCAB command, the DDR2 memory controller begins performing refreshes at a rate defined by the refresh rate (RR) bit in the SDRAM refresh control register (SDRCR). Page information is always invalid before and after a REFR command;

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.2 Deactivation (DCAB and DEAC) The precharge all banks command (DCAB) is performed after a reset to the DDR2 memory controller or following the initialization sequence. DDR2 SDRAMs also require this cycle prior to a refresh (REFR) and mode set register commands (MRS and EMRS). During a DCAB command, DDR_A[10] is driven high to ensure the deactivation of all banks. Figure 5 shows the timing diagram for a DCAB command. Figure 5. DCAB Command DCAB DDR_CLK DDR_

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.3 Activation (ACTV) The DDR2 memory controller automatically issues the activate (ACTV) command before a read or write to a closed row of memory. The ACTV command opens a row of memory, allowing future accesses (reads or writes) with minimum latency. The value of DDR_BA[2:0] selects the bank and the value of A[12:0] selects the row. When the DDR2 memory controller issues an ACTV command, a delay of t is incurred before RCD a read or write command is issued.

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.4 READ Command Figure 8 shows the DDR2 memory controller performing a read burst from DDR2 SDRAM. The READ command initiates a burst read operation to an active row. During the READ command, DDR_CAS drives low, DDR_WE and DDR_RAS remain high, the column address is driven on DDR_A[12:0], and the bank address is driven on DDR_BA[2:0]. The DDR2 memory controller uses a burst length of 8, and has a programmable CAS latency of 2, 3, 4, or 5. The CAS latency is t

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.5 Write (WRT) Command Prior to a WRT command, the desired bank and row are activated by the ACTV command. Following the WRT command, a write latency is incurred. Write latency is equal to CAS latency minus 1. All writes have a burst length of 8. The use of the DDR_DQM outputs allows byte and halfword writes to be executed. Figure 9 shows the timing for a write on the DDR2 memory controller. If the transfer request is for less than 8 words, depending on the

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.6 Mode Register Set (MRS and EMRS) DDR2 SDRAM contains mode and extended mode registers that configure the DDR2 memory for operation. These registers control burst type, burst length, CAS latency, DLL enable/disable (on DDR2 device), single-ended strobe, etc. The DDR2 memory controller programs the mode and extended mode registers of the DDR2 memory by issuing MRS and EMRS commands. When the MRS or EMRS command is executed, the value on DDR_BA[1:0] selects
