512M GDDR3 SDRAM
K4J52324QC-B
The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of GDDR3 SDRAM. It programs CAS
latency, addressing mode, test mode and various vendor specific options to make GDDR3 SDRAM useful for variety of dif-
ferent applications. The default value of the mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register must be written after
EMRS setting for the proper operation. The mode register is written by asserting low on CS, RAS, CAS and WE (The
GDDR3 SDRAM should be in active mode with CKE already high prior to writing into the mode register). The state of

in the same cycle as CS, RAS, CAS and WE going low is written in the mode
register. Minimum clock cycles specified as tMRD are required to complete the write operation in the mode register. The
mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during operation as long
as all banks are in the idle state. The mode register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. The Burst
length uses A
