Operations
Power-down (CKE Not Active)
Unlike SDR SDRAMs, DDR SDRAMs require CKE to be active at all times an access is in
progress, from the issuing of a READ or WRITE command, until completion of the
access. Thus a clock suspend is not supported. For READs, an access completion is
defined when the read postamble is satisfied; for WRITEs, when the write recovery time
(tWR) is satisfied.
idle, this mode is referred to as precharge power-down; if power-down occurs when a
row is active in any bank, this mode is referred to as active power-down. Entering power-
down deactivates the input and output buffers, excluding CK, CK#, and CKE. For
maximum power savings, the DLL is frozen during precharge power-down mode. Exiting
power-down requires the device to be at the same voltage and frequency as when it
entered power-down. However, power-down duration is limited by the refresh require-
ments of the device (tREFC or tREFCAT).
While in power-down, CKE LOW and a stable clock signal must be maintained at the
inputs of the DDR SDRAM, while all other input signals are “Don’t Care.” The power-
down state is synchronously exited when CKE is registered HIGH (in conjunction with a
NOP or DESELECT command). A valid executable command may be applied one clock
cycle later.
