1. Apply power (RESET# is recommended to be maintained below 0.2 x VDD; all other inputs may be undefined).
RESET# needs to be maintained for minimum 200 us with stable power. CKE is pulled “Low” anytime before
RESET# being de-asserted (min. time 10 ns). The power voltage ramp time between 300mV to VDD(min) must be
no greater than 200 ms; and during the ramp, VDD > VDDQ and (VDD - VDDQ) < 0.3 volts.
VDD and VDDQ are driven from a single power converter output, AND
The voltage levels on all pins other than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to VDDQ and VDD
on one side and must be larger than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side. In addition, VTT is limited to
0.95 V max once power ramp is finished, AND
Vref tracks VDDQ/2.
OR
Apply VDD without any slope reversal before or at the same time as VDDQ.
Apply VDDQ without any slope reversal before or at the same time as VTT & Vref.
The voltage levels on all pins other than VDD, VDDQ, VSS, VSSQ must be less than or equal to VDDQ and VDD
on one side and must be larger than or equal to VSSQ and VSS on the other side.
2. After RESET# is de-asserted, wait for another 500 us until CKE becomes active. During this time, the DRAM will
start internal state initialization; this will be done independently of external clocks.
3. Clocks (CK, CK#) need to be started and stabilized for at least 10 ns or 5 tCK (which is larger) before CKE goes
active. Since CKE is a synchronous signal, the corresponding set up time to clock (tIS) must be met. Also, a NOP or
Deselect command must be registered (with tIS set up time to clock) before CKE goes active. Once the CKE is
registered “High” after Reset, CKE needs to be continuously registered “High” until the initialization sequence is
finished, including expiration of tDLLK and tZQinit.
4. The DDR3 SDRAM keeps its on-die termination in high-impedance state as long as RESET# is asserted. Further,
the SDRAM keeps its on-die termination in high impedance state after RESET# deassertion until CKE is registered
HIGH. The ODT input signal may be in undefined state until tIS before CKE is registered HIGH. When CKE is
registered HIGH, the ODT input signal may be statically held at either LOW or HIGH. If RTT_NOM is to be enabled
in MR1, the ODT input signal must be statically held LOW. In all cases, the ODT input signal remains static until the
power up initialization sequence is finished, including the expiration of tDLLK and tZQinit.
5. After CKE is being registered high, wait minimum of Reset CKE Exit time, tXPR, before issuing the first MRS
command to load mode register. (tXPR=max (tXS ; 5 x tCK)
6. Issue MRS Command to load MR2 with all application settings. (To issue MRS command for MR2, provide “Low” to
BA0 and BA2, “High” to BA1.)
7. Issue MRS Command to load MR3 with all application settings. (To issue MRS command for MR3, provide “Low” to
BA2, “High” to BA0 and BA1.)
8. Issue MRS Command to load MR1 with all application settings and DLL enabled. (To issue "DLL Enable" command,
provide "Low" to A0, "High" to BA0 and "Low" to BA1 – BA2).
9. Issue MRS Command to load MR0 with all application settings and “DLL reset”. (To issue DLL reset command,
provide "High" to A8 and "Low" to BA0-2).

Figure2.1.2 Reset Procedure at Power Stable Condition
For application flexibility, various functions, features, and modes are programmable in four Mode Registers, provided by
the DDR3 SDRAM, as user defined variables and they must be programmed via a Mode Register Set (MRS) command.
As the default values of the Mode Registers (MR#) are not defined, contents of Mode Registers must be fully initialized
and/or re-initialized, i.e. written, after power up and/or reset for proper operation. Also the contents of the Mode Registers
can be altered by re-executing the MRS command during normal operation. When programming the mode registers, even
if the user chooses to modify only a sub-set of the MRS fields, all address fields within the accessed mode register must
be redefined when the MRS command is issued. MRS command and DLL Reset do not affect array contents, which
means these commands can be executed any time after power-up without affecting the array contents The mode register
set command cycle time, tMRD is required to complete the write operation to the mode register and is the minimum time
required between two MRS commands shown as below.

Figure 2.3.1b tMOD Timing
The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and timing requirements during normal operation
as long as the DRAM is in idle state, i.e., all banks are in the precharged state with tRP satisfied, all data bursts are
completed and CKE is high prior to writing into the mode register. If the RTT_NOM Feature is enabled in the Mode
Register prior and/or after an MRS Command, the ODT Signal must continuously be registered LOW ensuring RTT is in
an off State prior to the MRS command. The ODT Signal maybe registered high after tMOD has expired. If the RTT_NOM
Feature is disabled in the Mode Register prior and after an MRS command, the ODT Signal can be registered either LOW
or HIGH before, during and after the MRS command. The mode registers are divided into various fields depending on the
functionality and/or modes.
The mode register MR0 stores the data for controlling various operating modes of DDR3 SDRAM. It controls burst length,
read burst type, CAS latency, test mode, DLL reset, WR and DLL control for precharge Power-Down, which include
vendor specific options to make DDR3 SDRAM useful for various applications. The mode register is written by asserting
low on CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE#, BA0, BA1, and BA2, while controlling the states of address pins according to the
following figure.

1 1 1 1 Reserved
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed to sequential or interleaved order. The burst type is selected via bit A3
as shown in Figure 2.3.2. The ordering of accesses within a burst is determined by the burst length, burst type, and the
starting column address as shown in Table below. The burst length is defined by bits A0-A1. Burst length options include
fixed BC4, fixed BL8, and ‘on the fly’ which allows BC4 or BL8 to be selected coincident with the registration of a Read or
Write command via A12/BC#.
The direct ODT feature is not supported during DLL-off mode. The on-die termination resistors must be disabled by
continuously registering the ODT pin low and/or by programming the RTT_Nom bits MR1{A9,A6,A2} to {0,0,0} via a mode
register set command during DLL-off mode.
The dynamic ODT feature is not supported at DLL-off mode. User must use MRS command to set Rtt_WR, MR2 {A10,
A9} = {0,0}, to disable Dynamic ODT externally.
If PASR (Partial Array Self-Refresh) is enabled, data located in areas of the array beyond the specified address range
shown in Figure 2.3.4 will be lost if Self-Refresh is entered. Data integrity will be maintained if tREFI conditions are met
and no Self-Refresh command is issued.
The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration bit sequence. To
enable the MPR, a Mode Register Set (MRS) command must be issued to MR3 register with bit A2=1. Prior to issuing the
MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all banks precharged and tRP met). Once the MPR is enabled, any
subsequent RD or RDA commands will be redirected to the Multi Purpose Register. When the MPR is enabled, only RD
or RDA commands are allowed until a subsequent MRS command is issued with the MPR disabled (MR3 bit A2=0).
Power down mode, Self-Refresh and any other non-RD/RDA command is not allowed during MPR enable mode. The
RESET function is supported during MPR enable mode.
The Multi Purpose Register (MPR) function is used to Read out a predefined system timing calibration bit sequence. The
basic concept of the MPR is shown in Figure 2.3.5.1.
MR3[A2]
Multipurpose
Register pre-defined
data for read
To enable the MPR, a MODE Register Set (MRS) command must be issued to MR3 Register with bit A2 = 1. Prior to
issuing the MRS command, all banks must be in the idle state (all banks precharged and tRP met). Once the MPR is
enabled, any subsequent RD or RDA commands will be redirected to the Multi Purpose Register.
The resulting operation, when a RD or RDA command is issued, is defined by MR3 bits A[1:0] when the MPR is enabled.
When the MPR is enabled, only RD or RDA commands are allowed until a subsequent MRS command is issued with the
MPR disabled (MR3 bit A2 = 0).
Note that in MPR mode RDA has the same functionality as a READ command which means the auto precharge part of
RDA is ignored. Power-Down mode, Self-Refresh and any other non-RD/RDA command is not allowed during MPR
enable mode. The RESET function is supported during MPR enable mode.

Notes:
1. All DDR3 SDRAM commands are defined by states of CS#, RAS#, CAS#, WE# and CKE at the rising edge of the clock. The MSB of BA, RA and CA
are device density and configuration dependant.
2. RESET# is Low enable command which will be used only for asynchronous reset so must be maintained HIGH during any function.
3. Bank addresses (BA) determine which bank is to be operated upon. For (E)MRS BA selects an (Extended) Mode Register.
4. “V” means “H or L (but a defined logic level)” and “X” means either “defined or undefined (like floating) logic level”.
5. Burst reads or writes cannot be terminated or interrupted and Fixed/on-the-Fly BL will be defined by MRS.
6. The Power Down Mode does not perform any refresh operation.
7. The state of ODT does not affect the states described in this table. The ODT function is not available during Self Refresh.
8. Self Refresh Exit is asynchronous.
9. VREF(Both VrefDQ and VrefCA) must be maintained during Self Refresh operation. VrefDQ supply may be turned OFF and VREFDQ may take any
value between VSS and VDD during Self Refresh operation, provided that VrefDQ is valid and stable prior to CKE going back High and that first
Write operation or first Write Leveling Activity may not occur earlier than 512 nCK after exit from Self Refresh.
10. The No Operation command should be used in cases when the DDR3 SDRAM is in an idle or wait state. The purpose of the No Operation command
(NOP) is to prevent the DDR3 SDRAM from registering any unwanted commands between operations. A No Operation command will not terminate a
pervious operation that is still executing, such as a burst read or write cycle.
11. The Deselect command performs the same function as No Operation command.
12. Refer to the CKE Truth Table for more detail with CKE transition.
The No operation (NOP) command is used to instruct the selected DDR3 SDRAM to perform a NOP ( CS# low and
RAS#,CAS#,WE# high). This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states. Operations
already in progress are not affected.
DDR3 DLL-off mode is entered by setting MR1 bit A0 to “1”; this will disable the DLL for subsequent operations until A0 bit
set back to “0”. The MR1 A0 bit for DLL control can be switched either during initialization or later. The DLL-off Mode
operations listed below are an optional feature for DDR3. The maximum clock frequency for DLL-off Mode is specified by
the parameter tCKDLL_OFF. There is no minimum frequency limit besides the need to satisfy the refresh interval, tREFI.
Due to latency counter and timing restrictions, only one value of CAS Latency (CL) in MR0 and CAS Write Latency (CWL)
in MR2 are supported. The DLL-off mode is only required to support setting of both CL=6 and CWL=6. DLL-off mode will
affect the Read data Clock to Data Strobe relationship (tDQSCK) but not the data Strobe to Data relationship (tDQSQ,
tQH). Special attention is needed to line up Read data to controller time domain.
Comparing with DLL-on mode, where tDQSCK starts from the rising clock edge (AL+CL) cycles after the Read command,
the DLL-off mode tDQSCK starts (AL+CL-1) cycles after the read command. Another difference is that tDQSCK may not
be small compared to tCK (it might even be larger than tCK) and the difference between tDQSCKmin and tDQSCKmax is
significantly larger than in DLL-on mode. The timing relations on DLL-off mode READ operation have shown at the
following Timing Diagram (CL=6, BL=8)

Note: The tDQSCK is used here for DQS, DQS, and DQ to have a simplified diagram; the DLL_off shift will affect both timings in the same way and the
skew between all DQ, DQS, and DQS# signals will still be tDQSQ.
1. Starting from Idle state (all banks pre-charged, all timing fulfilled, and DRAMs On-die Termination resistors, RTT,
must be in high impedance state before MRS to MR1 to disable the DLL).
2. Set MR1 Bit A0 to “1” to disable the DLL.
3. Wait tMOD.
4. Enter Self Refresh Mode; wait until (tCKSRE) satisfied.
5. Change frequency, in guidance with “Input Clock Frequency Change” section.
6. Wait until a stable clock is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
7. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until all tMOD timings from
any MRS command are satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled in the mode registers when Self
Refresh mode was entered, the ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW until all tMOD timings from any
MRS command are satisfied. If both ODT features were disabled in the mode registers when Self Refresh mode was
entered, ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
8. Wait tXS, and then set Mode Registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL, and WR may be
necessary. A ZQCL command may also be issued after tXS).
9. Wait for tMOD, and then DRAM is ready for next command.
1. Starting from Idle state (All banks pre-charged, all timings fulfilled and DRAMs On-die Termination resistors (RTT)
must be in high impedance state before Self-Refresh mode is entered.)
2. Enter Self Refresh Mode, wait until tCKSRE satisfied.
3. Change frequency, in guidance with "Input clock frequency change".
4. Wait until a stable clock is available for at least (tCKSRX) at DRAM inputs.
5. Starting with the Self Refresh Exit command, CKE must continuously be registered HIGH until tDLLK timing from
subsequent DLL Reset command is satisfied. In addition, if any ODT features were enabled in the mode registers
when Self Refresh mode was entered, the ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW until tDLLK timings from
subsequent DLL Reset command is satisfied. If both ODT features are disabled in the mode registers when Self
Refresh mode was entered, ODT signal can be registered LOW or HIGH.
6. Wait tXS, then set MR1 bit A0 to “0” to enable the DLL.
7. Wait tMRD, then set MR0 bit A8 to “1” to start DLL Reset.
8. Wait tMRD, then set Mode Registers with appropriate values (especially an update of CL, CWL and WR may be
necessary. After tMOD satisfied from any proceeding MRS command, a ZQCL command may also be issued during
or after tDLLK.)
9. Wait for tMOD, then DRAM is ready for next command (Remember to wait tDLLK after DLL Reset before applying
command requiring a locked DLL!). In addition, wait also for tZQoper in case a ZQCL command was issued.
For the first condition, once the DDR3 SDRAM has been successfully placed in to Self-Refresh mode and tCKSRE has
been satisfied, the state of the clock becomes a don’t care. Once a don’t care, changing the clock frequency is
permissible, provided the new clock frequency is stable prior to tCKSRX. When entering and exiting Self-Refresh mode
for the sole purpose of changing the clock frequency, the Self-Refresh entry and exit specifications must still be met.
The DDR3 SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the minimum and maximum operating
frequency specified for the particular speed grade. Any frequency change below the minimum operating frequency would
require the use of DLL_on- mode -> DLL_off -mode transition sequence, refer to “DLL on/off switching procedure”.
The second condition is when the DDR3 SDRAM is in Precharge Power-down mode (either fast exit mode or slow exit
mode). If the RTT_NOM feature was enabled in the mode register prior to entering Precharge power down mode, the
ODT signal must continuously be registered LOW ensuring RTT is in an off state. If the RTT_NOM feature was disabled in
the mode register prior to entering Precharge power down mode, RTT will remain in the off state. The ODT signal can be
registered either LOW or HIGH in this case. A minimum of tCKSRE must occur after CKE goes LOW before the clock
frequency may change. The DDR3 SDRAM input clock frequency is allowed to change only within the minimum and
maximum operating frequency specified for the particular speed grade. During the input clock frequency change, ODT
and CKE must be held at stable LOW levels. Once the input clock frequency is changed, stable new clocks must be
provided to the DRAM tCKSRX before Precharge Power-down may be exited; after Precharge Power-down is exited and
tXP has expired, the DLL must be RESET via MRS. Depending on the new clock frequency, additional MRS commands
may need to be issued to appropriately set the WR, CL, and CWL with CKE continuously registered high. During DLL re-
lock period, ODT must remain LOW and CKE must remain HIGH. After the DLL lock time, the DRAM is ready to operate
with new clock frequency.
For better signal integrity, the DDR3 memory module adopted fly-by topology for the commands, addresses, control
signals, and clocks. The fly-by topology has benefits from reducing number of stubs and their length, but it also causes
flight time skew between clock and strobe at every DRAM on the DIMM. This makes it difficult for the Controller to
maintain tDQSS, tDSS, and tDSH specification. Therefore, the DDR3 SDRAM supports a ‘write leveling’ feature to allow
the controller to compensate for skew.
The memory controller can use the ‘write leveling’ feature and feedback from the DDR3 SDRAM to adjust the DQS -
DQS# to CK - CK# relationship. The memory controller involved in the leveling must have adjustable delay setting on
DQS - DQS# to align the rising edge of DQS - DQS# with that of the clock at the DRAM pin. The DRAM asynchronously
feeds back CK - CK#, sampled with the rising edge of DQS - DQS#, through the DQ bus. The controller repeatedly delays
DQS - DQS# until a transition from 0 to 1 is detected. The DQS - DQS# delay established though this exercise would
ensure tDQSS specification.
Besides tDQSS, tDSS and tDSH specification also needs to be fulfilled. One way to achieve this is to combine the actual
tDQSS in the application with an appropriate duty cycle and jitter on the DQS - DQS# signals. Depending on the actual
tDQSS in the application, the actual values for tDQSL and tDQSH may have to be better than the absolute limits provided
in the chapter "AC Timing Parameters" in order to satisfy tDSS and tDSH specification. A conceptual timing of this
scheme is shown in Figure 2.4.7.

DQS - DQS# driven by the controller during leveling mode must be terminated by the DRAM based on ranks populated.
Similarly, the DQ bus driven by the DRAM must also be terminated at the controller.
One or more data bits carry the leveling feedback to the controller across the DRAM configurations X8 and X16. On a X16
device, both byte lanes should be leveled independently.
Therefore, a separate feedback mechanism should be available for each byte lane. The upper data bits should provide
the feedback of the upper diff_DQS(diff_UDQS) to clock relationship whereas the lower data bits would indicate the lower
diff_DQS(diff_LDQS) to clock relationship.
2.4.7.1 DRAM setting for write leveling & DRAM termination function in that mode
DRAM enters into Write leveling mode if A7 in MR1 set ’High’ and after finishing leveling, DRAM exits from write leveling
mode if A7 in MR1 set ’Low’. Note that in write leveling mode, only DQS/DQS# terminations are activated and deactivated
via ODT pin, unlike normal operation.
The Controller may drive DQS low and DQS# high after a delay of tWLDQSEN, at which time the DRAM has applied on-
die termination on these signals. After tDQSL and tWLMRD, the controller provides a single DQS, DQS# edge which is
used by the DRAM to sample CK - CK# driven from controller. tWLMRD(max) timing is controller dependent.
DRAM samples CK - CK# status with rising edge of DQS - DQS# and provides feedback on the DQ bus asynchronously
after tWLO timing. In this product, the DQ0 for x8 or DQ0 and DQ8 for x16 ("prime DQ bit(s)") provide the leveling
feedback. The DRAM's remaining DQ bits are driven Low statically after the first sampling procedure. There is a DQ
output uncertainty of tWLOE defined to allow mismatch on DQ bits. The tWLOE period is defined from the transition of the
earliest DQ bit to the corresponding transition of the latest DQ bit. There are no read strobes (DQS/DQS#) needed for
these DQs. Controller samples incoming DQ and decides to increment or decrement DQS - DQS# delay setting and
launches the next DQS/DQS# pulse after some time, which is controller dependent. Once a 0 to 1 transition is detected,
the controller locks DQS - DQS# delay setting and write leveling is achieved for the device. Figure 2.4.7.2 describes the
timing diagram and parameters for the overall Write Leveling procedure.

Notes:
1. The JEDEC specification for DDR3 DRAM has the option to drive leveling feedback on a single prime DQ or all DQs. For best compatibility with
future DDR3 products, applications should use the lowest order DQ for each byte lane (DQ0 for x8, or DQ0 and DQ8 for x16).
2. MRS: Load MR1 to enter write leveling mode.
3. NOP: NOP or Deselect.
4. diff_DQS is the differential data strobe (DQS, DQS#). Timing reference points are the zero crossings. DQS is shown with solid line, DQS# is shown
with dotted line.
5. CK, CK# : CK is shown with solid dark line, where as CK# is drawn with dotted line.
6. DQS, DQS# needs to fulfill minimum pulse width requirements tDQSH(min) and tDQSL(min) as defined for regular Writes; the max pulse width is
system dependent.
1. After the last rising strobe edge, stop driving the strobe signals. Note: From now on, DQ pins are in undefined driving
mode, and will remain undefined, until tMOD after the respective MR command.
2. Drive ODT pin low (tIS must be satisfied) and continue registering low.
3. After the RTT is switched off, disable Write Level Mode via MRS command.
4. After tMOD is satisfied, any valid command may be registered. (MR commands may be issued after tMRD ).
If the ASR option is not supported by the DRAM, MR2 bit A6 must be set to 0b.
If the ASR mode is not enabled (MR2 bit.A6 = 0b), the SRT bit (MR2 A7) must be manually programmed with the
operating temperature range required during Self-Refresh operation.
Support of the ASR option does not automatically imply support of the Extended Temperature Range. Refer to Operating
Temperature Range for restrictions on operating conditions.

Each individual component of a differential signal (CK, DQS, DQSL, DQSU, CK#, DQS#, DQSL#, or DQSU#) has also to
comply with certain requirements for single-ended signals.
CK and CK# have to approximately reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately equal to the ac-levels (VIH(ac) / VIL(ac) )
for ADD/CMD signals) in every half-cycle. DQS, DQSL, DQSU, DQS#, DQSL# have to reach VSEHmin / VSELmax
(approximately the ac-levels (VIH(ac) / VIL(ac) ) for DQ signals) in every half-cycle preceding and following a valid

To guarantee tight setup and hold times as well as output skew parameters with respect to clock and strobe, each cross
point voltage of differential input signals (CK, CK and DQS, DQS) must meet the requirements in the following table. The

9.4.1 Jitter
Specific Note a
Unit “tCK(avg)” represents the actual tCK(avg) of the input clock under operation. Unit “nCK” represents one clock cycle of
the input clock, counting the actual clock edges. ex) tMRD=4 [nCK] means; if one Mode Register Set command is
registered at Tm, another Mode Register Set command may be registered at Tm+4, even if (Tm+4-Tm) is 4 x tCK(avg) +
tERR(4per), min.
Specific Note b
These parameters are measured from a command/address signal (CKE, CS, RAS, CAS, WE, ODT, BA0, A0, A1, etc)
transition edge to its respective clock signal (CK/CK) crossing. The spec values are not affected by the amount of clock
jitter applied (i.e. tJIT(per), tJIT(cc), etc.), as the setup and hold are relative to the clock signal crossing that latches the
command/address. That is, these parameters should be met whether clock jitter is present or not.
Specific Note c
These parameters are measured from a data strobe signal (DQS(L/U), DQS(L/U)) crossing to its respective clock signal
(CK, CK) crossing. The spec values are not affected by the amount of clock jitter applied (i.e. tJIT(per), tJIT(cc), etc), as
these are relative to the clock signal crossing. That is, these parameters should be met whether clock jitter is present or
not.
Specific Note d
These parameters are measured from a data signal (DM(L/U), DQ(L/U)0, DQ(L/U)1, etc.) transition edge to its respective
data strobe signal (DQS(L/U), DQS(L/U)) crossing.
Specific Note e
For these parameters, the DDR3 SDRAM device supports tnPARAM [nCK] = RU{tPARAM[ns] / tCK(avg)[ns]}, which is in
clock cycles, assuming all input clock jitter specifications are satisfied. For example, the device will support tnRP
=RU{tRP/tCK(avg)}, which is in clock cycles, if all input clock jitter specifications are met. This means: For DDR3-800 6-6-
6, of which tRP = 15ns, the device will support tnRP = RU{tRP/tCK(avg)} = 6, as long as the input clock jitter specifications
are met, i.e. Precharge command at Tm and Active command at Tm+6 is valid even if (Tm+6-Tm) is less than 15ns due to
input clock jitter.
Specific Note f
When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated by the actual tERR(mper), act of
the input clock, where 2 <= m <=12. (output derating are relative to the SDRAM input clock.)
For example, if the measured jitter into a DDR3-800 SDRAM has tERR(mper),act,min = -172ps and tERR(mper),act,max
= 193ps, then tDQSCK,min(derated) = tDQSCK,min - tERR(mper),act,max = -400ps - 193ps = -593ps and
tDQSCK,max(derated) = tDQSCK,max - ERR(mper),act,min = 400ps + 172ps = 572ps. Similarly, tLZ(DQ) for DDR3-800
derates to tLZ(DQ),min(derated) = -800ps - 193ps = -993ps and tLZ(DQ),max(derated) = 400ps + 172ps = 572ps.
(Caution on the min/max usage!)
Note that tERR(mper),act,min is the minimum measured value of tERR(nper) where 2 <= n <= 12, and
tERR(mper),act,max is the maximum measured value of tERR(nper) where 2 <= n <= 12.
Specific Note g
When the device is operated with input clock jitter, this parameter needs to be derated by the actual tJIT(per),act of the
input clock. (output deratings are relative to the SDRAM input clock.) For example, if the measured jitter into a DDR3-800
SDRAM has tCK(avg),act=2500ps, tJIT(per),act,min = -72ps and tJIT(per),act,max = 93ps, then tRPRE,min(derated) =
tRPRE,min + tJIT(per),act,min = 0.9 x tCK(avg),act + tJIT(per),act,min = 0.9 x 2500ps - 72ps = 2178ps. Similarly,
tQH,min(derated) = tQH,min + tJIT(per),act,min = 0.38 x tCK(avg),act + tJIT(per),act,min = 0.38 x 2500ps - 72ps = 878ps.
(Caution on the min/max usage!)
For example, if TSens = 1.5%/C, VSens = 0.15%/mV, Tdriftrate = 1 C/sec and Vdriftrate = 15mV/sec, then the interval
between ZQCS commands is calculated as
Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VREF(dc) and the
first crossing of VIH(ac)min. Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of VREF(dc) and the first crossing of Vil(ac)max. If the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal slew rate
line between shaded ‘VREF(dc) to ac region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value . If the actual signal is later than
the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘VREF(dc) to ac region’, the slew rate of a tangent line to the actual
signal from the ac level to VREF (dc) level is used for derating value.
Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of Vil(dc)max and the
first crossing of VREF(dc). Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of Vih(dc)min and the first crossing of VREF(dc). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew rate
line between shaded ‘dc to VREF(dc) region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is earlier than
the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘dc to VREF(dc) region’, the slew rate of a tangent line to the actual
signal from the dc level to VREF (dc) level is used for derating value.
For a valid transition the input signal has to remain above/below VIH/IL(ac) for some time tVAC. Although for slow slew
rates the total setup time might be negative (i.e. a valid input signal will not have reached VIH/IL(ac) at the time of the
rising clock transition, a valid input signal is still required to complete the transition and reach VIH/IL(ac). For slew rates in
between the values listed in the tables, the derating values may obtained by linear interpolation.
These values are typically not subject to production test. They are verified by design and characterization.

Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VREF(dc) and the
first crossing of V IH(ac) min. Setup (tDS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of VREF(dc) and the first crossing of VIL(ac) max. If the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal slew rate
line between shaded ‘VREF(dc) to ac region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is later than the
nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘VREF(dc) to ac region’, the slew rate of a tangent line to the actual
signal from the ac level to VREF(dc) level is used for derating value.
Hold (tDH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIL(dc) max and
the first crossing of VREF(dc) . Hold (tDH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the
last crossing of VIH(dc) min and the first crossing of VREF(dc). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew
rate line between shaded ‘dc level to VREF(dc) region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is
earlier than the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘dc to V REF(dc) region’, the slew rate of a tangent line
to the actual signal from the dc level to VREF(dc) level is used for derating value.
For a valid transition the input signal has to remain above/below VIH/IL(ac) for some time tVAC.
Although for slow slew rates the total setup time might be negative (i.e. a valid input signal will not have reached
VIH/IL(ac) at the time of the rising clock transition) a valid input signal is still required to complete the transition and reach
VIH/IL(ac) .
For slew rates in between the values listed in the tables, the derating values may obtained by linear interpolation.
These values are typically not subject to production test. They are verified by design and characterization.
NOTE: (Note: AC/DC referenced for 2V/ns DQ-slew rate and 4V/ns DQS slew rate, or 1V/ns DQ-slew rate and 2V/ns DQS slew rate, as shown.
