Burst Length
Read and write accesses to the DDR SDRAM are
burst oriented, with the burst length being program-
mable, as shown in Figure 5, Mode Register Definition
Diagram. The burst length determines the maximum
number of column locations that can be accessed for a
given READ or WRITE command. Burst lengths of 2, 4,
or 8 locations are available for both the sequential and
the interleaved burst types.
Reserved states should not be used, as unknown
operation or incompatibility with future versions may
result.
When a READ or WRITE command is issued, a block
of columns equal to the burst length is effectively
selected. All accesses for that burst take place within
this block, meaning that the burst will wrap within the
block if a boundary is reached. The block is uniquely
selected by A1-A9 when the burst length is set to two,
by A2–A9 when the burst length is set to four and by
A3–A9 when the burst length is set to eight (where A9 is
the most significant column address bit for a given
configuration). The remaining (least significant)
address bit(s) is (are) used to select the starting loca-
tion within the block. The programmed burst length
applies to both read and write bursts.
Burst Type
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed
to be either sequential or interleaved; this is referred to
as the burst type and is selected via bit M3.
The ordering of accesses within a burst is deter-
mined by the burst length, the burst type and the start-
ing column address, as shown in Table 6, Burst
Definition Table, on page 10.
Read Latency
The READ latency is the delay, in clock cycles,
between the registration of a READ command and the
availability of the first bit of output data. The latency
can be set to 2 or 2.5 clocks, as shown in Figure 6, CAS
Latency Diagram, on page 10.
If a READ command is registered at clock edge
n
,
and the latency is
m
clocks, the data will be available
nominally coincident with clock edge
n
+
m
. Table 7,
CAS Latency (CL) Table, on page 10, indicates the
operating frequencies at which each CAS latency set-
ting can be used.
Reserved states should not be used as unknown
operation or incompatibility with future versions may
result.

Operating Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by issuing a
MODE REGISTER SET command with bits A7–A11
(128MB), or A7–A12 (256MB) each set to zero, and bits
A0–A6 set to the desired values. A DLL reset is initiated
by issuing a MODE REGISTER SET command with bits
A7 and A9–A11 (128MB), or A7 and A9–A12 (256MB)
each set to zero, bit A8 set to one, and bits A0–A6 set to
the desired values. Although not required by the
Micron device, JEDEC specifications recommend
when a LOAD MODE REGISTER command is issued to
