The Precharge Command is used to precharge or close a bank that has been activated. The Precharge Command is triggered when
CS, RAS and WE are low and CAS is high at the rising edge of the clock. The Precharge Command can be used to precharge each
bank independently or all banks simultaneously. Three address bits A10, BA0 and BA1 for 256Mb are used to define which bank to pre-
charge when the command is issued.
Minimum Read to precharge command spacing to the same bank = AL + BL/2 clocks.
For the earliest possible precharge, the precharge command may be issued on the rising edge which is “Additive latency(AL) + BL/2
clocks” after a Read command. A new bank active (command) may be issued to the same bank after the RAS precharge time (t
RP
). A
precharge command cannot be issued until t
RAS
is satisfied.
The minimum Read to Precharge spacing has also to satisfy a minimum analog time from the rising clock edge that initiates the last 4-
bit prefetch of a Read to Precharge command. This time is called tRTP (Read to Precharge). For BL = 4 this is the time from the actual
read (AL after the Read command) to Precharge command. For BL = 8 this is the time from AL + 2 clocks after the Read to the Pre-
charge command.
