Notes:
1. For a given bank, the PRECHARGE period should be counted from the latest PRECHARGE
command—either a one-bank PRECHARGE or PRECHARGE ALL—issued to that bank.
The PRECHARGE period is satisfied after t RP, depending on the latest PRECHARGE com-
mand issued to that bank.
2. Any command issued during the specified minimum delay time is illegal.
3. After READ with auto precharge, seamless READ operations to different banks are sup-
ported. After WRITE with auto precharge, seamless WRITE operations to different banks
are supported. READ with auto precharge and WRITE with auto precharge must not be
interrupted or truncated.
REFRESH Command
The REFRESH command is initiated with CS# LOW, CA0 LOW, CA1 LOW, and CA2 HIGH
at the rising edge of the clock. Per-bank REFRESH is initiated with CA3 LOW at the ris-
ing edge of the clock. All-bank REFRESH is initiated with CA3 HIGH at the rising edge of
the clock. Per-bank REFRESH is only supported in devices with eight banks.
A per-bank REFRESH command (REFpb) performs a per-bank REFRESH operation to
the bank scheduled by the bank counter in the memory device. The bank sequence for
per-bank REFRESH is fixed to be a sequential round-robin: 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-0-1-.... The
bank count is synchronized between the controller and the SDRAM by resetting the
bank count to zero. Synchronization can occur upon issuing a RESET command or at
every exit from self refresh. Bank addressing for the per-bank REFRESH count is the
same as established for the single-bank PRECHARGE command (see Table 42
(page 69)).
A bank must be idle before it can be refreshed. The controller must track the bank being
refreshed by the per-bank REFRESH command.
The REFpb command must not be issued to the device until the following conditions
have been met:
? t RFCab has been satisfied after the prior REFab command
? t RFCpb has been satisfied after the prior REFpb command
? t RP has been satisfied after the prior PRECHARGE command to that bank
