Note: 
1. This table applies when CKE n-1 was high and CKE n is high (see Truth Table 2: Clock Enable (CKE) and after t
XSNR
 / t
XSRD
has been met (if the previous state was self refresh). 
2. This table is bank-specific, except where noted, i.e., the current state is for a specific bank and the commands shown are those 
allowed to be issued to that bank when in that state. Exceptions are covered in the notes below. 
3. Current state definitions: 
Idle:
 The bank has been precharged, and t
RP
 has been met. 
Row Active:
 A row in the bank has been activated, and t
RCD
 has been met. No data bursts/accesses and no register accesses 
are in progress. 
Read:
 A Read burst has been initiated, with Auto Precharge disabled, and has not yet terminated or been terminated. 
Write:
 A Write burst has been initiated, with Auto Precharge disabled, and has not yet terminated or been terminated. 
4. The following states must not be interrupted by a command issued to the same bank. 
Precharging:
 Starts with registration of a Precharge command and ends when t
RP
 is met. Once t
RP
 is met, the bank is in the idle 
state. 
Row Activating:
 Starts with registration of an Active command and ends when t
RCD
 is met. Once t
RCD
 is met, the bank is in the 
“row active” state. 
Read w/Auto Precharge Enabled:
 Starts with registration of a Read command with Auto Precharge enabled and ends when t
RP
has been met. Once t
RP
 is met, the bank is in the idle state. 
Write w/Auto Precharge Enabled:
 Starts with registration of a Write command with Auto Precharge enabled and ends when t
RP
has been met. Once t
RP
 is met, the bank is in the idle state. 
Deselect or NOP commands, or allowable commands to the other bank should be issued on any clock edge occurring during 
these states. Allowable commands to the other bank are determined by its current state and according to Truth Table 4. 
5. The following states must not be interrupted by any executable command; Deselect or NOP commands must be applied on 
each positive clock edge during these states. 
Refreshing:
 Starts with registration of an Auto Refresh command and ends when t
RFC 
is met. Once t
RFC 
is met, the DDR SDRAM 
is in the “all banks idle” state. 
Accessing Mode Register:
 Starts with registration of a Mode Register Set command and ends when t
MRD
 has been met. Once 
t
MRD
 is met, the DDR SDRAM is in the “all banks idle” state. 
Precharging All:
 Starts with registration of a Precharge All command and ends when t
RP
 is met. Once t
RP
 is met, all banks is in 
the idle state. 
6. All states and sequences not shown are illegal or reserved. 
7. Not bank-specific; requires that all banks are idle. 
8. May or may not be bank-specific; if all/any banks are to be precharged, all/any must be in a valid state for precharging. 
9. Not bank-specific; Burst terminate affects the most recent Read burst, regardless of bank. 
10. Reads or Writes listed in the Command/Action column include Reads or Writes with Auto Precharge enabled and Reads or 
Writes with Auto Precharge disabled. 
11. Requires appropriate DM masking.
