CMOS
a
1
Command input. Pins used in conjunction with SIO0 and SIO1 for reading
from and writing to the control registers. Also used for power manage-
ment.
SCK

Supply voltage for the RDRAM core and interface logic.
V
DDa
1
Supply voltage for the RDRAM analog circuitry.
V
CMOS
2
Supply voltage for CMOS input/output pins.
GND

Ground reference for RDRAM core and interface.
GNDa
1
Ground reference for RDRAM analog circuitry.
DQA8..DQA0
I/O
RSL

Data byte A. Nine pins which carry a byte of read or write data between
the Channel and the RDRAM. DQA8 is not used (no connection) by
RDRAMs with a x16 organization.
CFM

RSL
b
1
Clock from master. Interface clock used for receiving RSL signals from
the Channel. Positive polarity.
CFMN
I
RSL
b
1
Clock from master. Interface clock used for receiving RSL signals from
the Channel. Negative polarity
V
REF
1
Logic threshold reference voltage for RSL signals
CTMN
I
RSL
b
1
Clock to master. Interface clock used for transmitting RSL signals to the
Channel. Negative polarity.
CTM
I
RSL
b
1
Clock to master. Interface clock used for transmitting RSL signals to the
Channel. Positive polarity.
RQ7..RQ5 or
ROW2..ROW0
I
RSL
b
3
Row access control. Three pins containing control and address informa-
tion for row accesses.
RQ4..RQ0 or
COL4..COL0
I
RSL
b
5
Column access control. Five pins containing control and address informa-
tion for column accesses.
DQB8..
DQB0
I/O
RSL
b
9
Data byte B. Nine pins which carry a byte of read or write data between
the Channel and the RDRAM. DQB8 is not used (no connection) by
RDRAMs with a x16 organization.
Total pin count per package
62
a. All CMOS signals are high-true; a high voltage is a logic one and a low voltage is logic zero.
b. All RSL signals are low-true; a low voltage is a logic one and a high voltage is logic zero.
