256Mb DDR2 SDRAM
2.6.1 Posted CAS
Posted CAS operation is supported to make command and data bus efficient for sustainable bandwidths in DDR2
SDRAM. In this operation, the DDR2 SDRAM allows a Read or Write command to be issued immediately after the
RAS bank activate command (or any time during the RAS to CAS delay time, tRCD, period). The command is
held for the time of the Additive Latency (AL) before it is issued inside the device. The Read Latency (RL) is the
sum of AL and the CAS latency (CL). Therefore if a user chooses to issue a Read/Write command before the
tRCDmin, then AL greater than 0 must be written into the EMRS(1). The Write Latency (WL) is always defined as
RL - 1 (Read Latency -1) where Read Latency is defined as the sum of Additive Latency plus CAS latency
(RL=AL+CL). If a user chooses to issue a Read command after the tRCDmin period, the Read Latency is also
defined as RL = AL + CL.
Examples:
Read followed by a write to the same bank, Activate to Read delay < tRCDmin:
AL = 2 and CL = 3, RL = (AL + CL) = 5, WL = (RL -1) = 4, BL = 4
Read followed by a write to the same bank, Activate to Read delay < tRCDmin:
AL = 2 and CL = 3, RL = (AL + CL) = 5, WL = (RL -1) = 4, BL = 8
