REGISTER DEFINITION
Mode Register
The mode register is used to define the specific mode of
operation of the SDRAM. This definition includes the
selection of a burst length, a burst type, a CAS\ latency,
an operating mode and a write burst mode, as shown in
MODE REGISTER DEFINITION.
The mode register is programmed via the LOAD MODE
REGISTER command and will retain the stored information
until it is programmed again or the device loses power.
Mode register bits M0-M2 specify the burst length, M3
specifies the type of burst (sequential or interleaved), M4- M6
specify the CAS latency, M7 and M8 specify the operating
mode, M9 specifies the WRITE burst mode, and M10 and
M11 are reserved for future use.
The mode register must be loaded when all banks are idle,
and the controller must wait the specified time before
initiating the subsequent operation. Violating either of
these requirements will result in unspecified operation.
