OPERATIONS<br />

BANK/ROW ACTIVATION<br />

Before any READ or WRITE commands can be<br />

issued to a bank within the DDR SDRAM, a row<br />

in that bank must be ”opened.” This is accomplished<br />

via the ACTIVE command (Figure 8),<br />

which selects both the bank and the row to be<br />

activated.<br />

After opening a row (issuing an ACTIVE command),<br />

a READ or WRITE command may be issued<br />

to that row, subject to the tRCD specification.<br />

A subsequent ACTIVE command to a different<br />

row in the same bank can only be issued after the<br />

previous active row has been ”closed” (precharged).<br />

The minimum time interval between<br />

successive ACTIVE commands to the same bank<br />

is defined by tRC.<br />

A subsequent ACTIVE command to another bank<br />

can be issued while the first bank is being accessed,<br />

which results in a reduction of total row--<br />

access overhead. The minimum time interval between<br />

successive ACTIVE commands to different<br />

banks is defined by tRRD.<br />
