Functional Description
DDR3 SDRAM uses a double data rate architecture to achieve high-speed operation. The double data
rate architecture is an 8n-prefetch architecture with an interface designed to transfer two data words
per clock cycle atthe I/O pins. Asingle read orwrite operation forthe DDR3 SDRAM effectively consists
of a single 8n-bit-wide, four-clock-cycle data transfer at the internal DRAM core and eight corre-
sponding n-bit-wide, one-half-clock-cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.
The differential data strobe (DQS, DQS#) is transmitted externally, along with data, for use in data
capture at the DDR3 SDRAM inputreceiver. DQS is center-aligned with data for WRITEs. The read data
is transmitted by the DDR3 SDRAM and edge-aligned to the data strobes.
The DDR3 SDRAM operates from a differential clock (CKandCK#). The crossing ofCKgoingHIGH and
CK# going LOW is referred to as the positive edge of CK. Control, command, and address signals are
registered at every positive edge of CK. Input data is registered on the first rising edge of DQS after the
WRITE preamble, and output data is referenced on the first rising edge of DQS after the READ
preamble.
Read and write accesses to the DDR3 SDRAM are burst-oriented. Accesses start at a selected location
and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed sequence. Accesses begin with
the registration of an ACTIVATE command, which is then followed by a READ or WRITE command.
The address bits registered coincident with the ACTIVATE command are used to select the bank and
row to be accessed. The address bits registered coincident with the READ or WRITE commands are
used to select the bank and the starting column location for the burst access.
The device uses a READ and WRITE BL8 and BC4. An auto precharge function may be enabled to
provide a self-timed row precharge that is initiated at the end of the burst access.
As with standard DDR SDRAM, the pipelined, multibank architecture of DDR3 SDRAM allows for
concurrent operation, thereby providing high bandwidth by hiding row precharge and activation time.
A self refresh mode is provided, along with a power-saving, power-down mode.
Industrial Temperature
The industrial temperature (IT) device requires that the case temperature not exceed
–40°C or 95°C. JEDEC specifications require the refresh rate to double when TCexceeds 85°C; this also
requires use of the high-temperature self refresh option. Additionally, ODT resistance and the
input/output impedance must be derated when TCis < 0°C or >85°C.
Automotive Temperature
The automotive temperature (AT) device requires that the case temperature not exceed
–40°C or 105°C. JEDEC specifications require the refresh rate to double when TCexceeds 85°C; this also
requires use of the high-temperature self refresh option. Additionally, ODT resistance and the
input/output impedance must be derated when TCis < 0°C or >85°C.
Ultra-high Temperature
The Ultra-high temperature (UT) device requires that the case temperature not exceed
–40°C or 125°C. JEDEC specifications require the refresh rate to double when TCexceeds 85°C; this also
requires use of the high-temperature auto refresh option. When Tc > +105C, the refresh rate must be
increased to 8X. Self-refresh mode is not available for Tc >+105°C. Additionally,ODTresistance andthe
input/output impedance must be derated when TCis < 0°C or >85°C.
DDR3L SDRAM (1.35V) is a low voltage version of the
DDR3 (1.5V) SDRAM. Refer to DDR3 (1.5V) SDRAM (Die
Rev :E) data sheet specifications when running in 1.5V
compatible mode.
