Memory types such as DDR1 SDRAM, SDR SDRAM, SBSRAM, and asynchronous memories are not supported. The DDR2 memory controller SDRAM can be used for program and data storage. 1.2 Features The DDR2 memory controller supports the following features: • JESD79-2B stan

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2 Peripheral Architecture 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 many SDRAM timing parameters. The following sections describe the architecture of the DDR2 memory controller as well as how to interface and configure it to perform r

Peripheral Architecture www.ti.com 2.4.1 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, 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 DBA[1:0] selects the mode register to

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.2 Refresh Mode The DDR2 memory controller issues refresh commands to the DDR2 SDRAM device (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 (REFRESH_RATE) bit in the SDRAM refresh control register (SDRFC). Page information is always invalid before and after a REFR

Peripheral Architecture www.ti.com 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 DBA[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 a RCD read or write command is issued. Fi

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.4 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, DEA10 is driven high to ensure the deactivation of all banks. Figure 6 shows the timing diagram for a DCAB command. Figure 6. DCAB Command DCAB DDR2CLKOUT DDR2C

www.ti.com Peripheral Architecture 2.4.5 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, DSDCAS drives low, DSDWE and DSDRAS remain high, the column address is driven on DEA[12:0], and the bank address is driven on DBA[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 three cyc

Peripheral Architecture www.ti.com 2.4.6 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 DSDDQM outputs allows byte and halfword writes to be executed. Figure 9 shows the timing for a write on the DDR2 memory controller.
