3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FOR 4M x 16Bit x 4 Bank GDDR SDRAM
The K4D551638H is 268,435,456 bits of hyper synchronous data rate Dynamic RAM organized as 4 x 4,194,304 words by 16 bits, fab-
ricated with SAMSUNG
’
s high performance CMOS technology. Synchronous features with Data Strobe allow extremely high perfor-
mance up to 1.1GB/s/chip. I/O transactions are possible on both edges of the clock cycle. Range of operating frequencies,
programmable burst length and programmable latencies allow the device to be useful for a variety of high performance memory system
applications.

Input
Function
256M GDDR SDRAM
The differential system clock Input.
All of the inputs are sampled on the rising edge of the clock except DQ’s and DM’s that are
sampled on both edges of the DQS.
Activates the CK signal when high and deactivates the CK signal when low. By deactivating
the clock, CKE low indicates the Power down mode or Self refresh mode.CKE is synchronous
for Power down entry and exit, and for Self refresh entry. CKE is asynchronous for Self
refresh exit, and for output disable. CKE must be maintained high through Read and Write
accesses. Input buffers, excluding CK, CK and CKE are disbled during Power down. Input
buffers, excluding CKE are disabled during Self refresh. CKE is an SSTL_2 input, but will
detect a LVCMOS low level after Vdd is applied upon 1st power up. After Vref has become
stable during the power on and intialization sequence, it must be maintained for proper oper-
ation of the CKE receiver. For proper Self refresh entry and exit, Vref must be maintained to
this input.
CS enables the command decoder when low and disabled the command decoder when high.
When the command decoder is disabled, new commands are ignored but previous operations
continue.
Latches row addresses on the positive going edge of the CK with RAS low. Enables row
access & precharge.
Latches column addresses on the positive going edge of the CK with CAS low. Enables col-
umn access.
Enables write operation and row precharge.
Latches data in starting from CAS, WE active.
Data input and output are synchronized with both edge of DQS.
For the x16, LDQS corresponds to the data on DQ0-DQ7 ; UDQS corresponds to the data on
DQ8-DQ15.
Data in Mask. Data In is masked by DM Latency=0 when DM is
high in burst write. For the x16, LDM corresponds to the data on DQ0-DQ7 ; UDM correspons
to the data on DQ8-DQ15.
Data inputs/Outputs are multiplexed on the same pins.
Selects which bank is to be active.
Row/Column addresses are multiplexed on the same pins.
Row addresses : RA0 ~ RA12, Column addresses : CA0 ~ CA8.
Power and ground for the input buffers and core logic.
Isolated power supply and ground for the output buffers to provide improved noise immunity.
Reference voltage for inputs, used for SSTL interface.
