3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FOR 2M x 32Bit x 4 Bank GDDR3 SDRAM
The K4J55323QG is 268,435,456 bits of hyper synchronous data rate Dynamic RAM organized as 4 x 2,097,152 words by 32 bits, fab-
ricated with SAMSUNG
’s
high performance CMOS technology. Synchronous features with Data Strobe allow extremely high perfor-
mance up to 6.4GB/s/chip. I/O transactions are possible on both edges of the clock cycle. Range of operating frequencies, and
programmable latencies allow the device to be useful for a variety of high performance memory system applications.

Note :
1. RFU1 is reserved for future use
2. RFU2 is reserved for future use
3. RFM : When the MF ball is tied LOW, RFM(H10) receiver is disabled and it recommended to be driven to a static LOW state, however,
either static HIGH or floating state on this pin will not cause any problem for the DRAM. When the MF ball is tied HIGH, RAS(H3)
becomes RFM due to mirror function and the receiver is disabled. It recommended to be driven to a static LOW state, however, either
static HIGH or floating state on this pin will not cause any problem for the DRAM
Please refer to Mirror Function Signal Mapping table at page 6.

5.0 INPUT/OUTPUT FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Symbol
CK, CK
Type
Input
Function
256M GDDR3 SDRAM
Clock:
CK and CK are differential clock inputs. CMD, ADD inputs are sampled on the crossing of the positive
edge of CK and negative edge of CK. Output (read) data is referenced to the crossings of CK and CK (both
directions of crossing). CK, CK should be maintained stable, except self-refresh mode
Clock Enable:
CKE HIGH activates, and CKE Low deactivates, internal clock signals and device input buffers
and output drivers. Taking CKE Low provides Precharge Power-Down and Self Refresh operation (all banks
idle), or Active Power-Down (row Active in any bank). CKE is synchronous for power down entry and exit, and
for self refresh entry. CKE is asynchronous for self refresh exit. CKE must be maintained high throughout read
and write accesses. Input buffers, excluding CK, CK and CKE are disabled during power-down. Input buffers,
excluding CKE, are disabled during self refresh.
Chip Select:
All commands are masked when CS is registered HIGH. CS provides for external bank selection
on systems with multiple banks. CS is considered part of the command code.
Command Inputs:
RAS, CAS and WE (along with CS) define the command being entered.
Input Data Mask:
DM is an input mask signal for write data. Input data is masked when DM is sampled HIGH
coincident with that input data during a Write access. DM is sampled on both edges of clock. Although DM
pins are input only, the DM loading matches the DQ and WDQS loading.
Bank Address Inputs:
BA0 and BA1 define to which bank an Active, Read, Write or Precharge command is
being applied.
Address Inputs:
Provided the row address for Active commands and the column address and Auto Pre-
charge bit for Read/Write commands to select one location out of the memory array in the respective bank. A8
is sampled during a Precharge command to determine whether the Precharge applies to one bank (A8 LOW)
or all banks (A8 HIGH). If only one bank is to be precharged, the bank is selected by BA0, BA1,BA2. The
address inputs also provide the op-code during Mode Register Set commands.
Row addresses : RA0 ~ RA11, Column addresses : CA0 ~ CA7, CA9 . Column address CA8 is used for auto
precharge.
Data Input/ Output:
Bi-directional data bus.
READ Data Strobe:
Output with read data. RDQS is edge-aligned with read data.
WRITE Data Strobe:
Input with write data. WDQS is center-aligned to the inout data.
No Connect:
No internal electrical connection is present.
