GDDR3 SGRAM
Rev. 1.2
7.9.2 READs
READ bursts are initiated with a READ command, as below figure. The starting column and bank addresses
are provided with the READ command and auto precharge is either enabled or disabled for that burst access.
If auto precharge is enabled, the row being accessed is precharged at the completion of the burst after
tRAS(min) has been met. For the generic READ commands used in the following illustrations, auto precharge
is disabled.
During READ bursts, the valid data-out element from the starting column address will be available following
the CAS Latency after the READ command. Each subsequent data-out element will be valid nominally at the
next positive or negative strobe edge. READ burst figure shows general timing for 2 of the possible CAS
latency settings. The GDDR3(x32) drives the output data edge aligned to the crossing of CK and /CK and to
RDQS. The initial HIGH transition LOW of RDQS is known as the read preamble; the half cycle coincident
with the last data-out element is known as the read postamble.
Upon completion of a burst, assuming no other commands have been initiated, the DQs will go High-Z. A
detailed explanation of tDQSQ (valid data-out skew), tDV (data-out window hold), the valid data window are
depicted in Data Output Timing (1) figure. A detailed explanation of tAC (DQS and DQ transition skew to CK)
is shown in Data Output Timing (2) figure.
Data from any READ burst may be concatenated with data from a subsequent READ command. A continu-
ous flow of data can be maintained. The first data element from the new burst follows the last element of a
completed burst. The new READ command should be issued x cycles after the first READ command, where
x equals the number of data element nibbles (nibbles are required by the 4n-prefetch architecture) depending
on the burst length. This is shown in consecutive READ bursts figure. Nonconsecutive read data is shown for
illustration in nonconsecutive READ bursts figure. Full-speed random read accesses within a page (or pages)
can be performed as shown in Random READ accesses figure. Data from a READ burst cannot be termi-
nated or truncated.
During READ commands the GDDR3 DRAM disables its data terminators.
