0.0 Overview
The XDR DRAM device is a general-purpose high-performance memory device suitable for use in a broad range of applications,
including computer memory, graphics, video, and any other application where high bandwidth and low latency are required.
The 512Mb XDR DRAM device is a CMOS DRAM organized as 32M words by 16bits. The use of Differential Rambus Signaling
Level(DRSL) technology permits 4000/3200/2400 Mb/s transfer rates while using conventional system and board design technologies.
XDR DRAM devices are capable of sustained data transfers up to 8000 MB/s.
XDR DRAM device architecture allows the highest sustained bandwidth for multiple, interleaved randomly addressed memory transac-
tions. The highly-efficient protocol yields over 95% utilization while allowing fine access granuarity. The device’s eight banks support up
to four interleaved transactions.

3.0 General Description
The timing diagrams in Figure 1 illustrate XDR DRAM device write and read transactions. There are three sets of pins used for normal
memory access transactions: CFM/CFMN clock pins, RQ11..0 request pins, and DQ15..0/DQN15..0 data pins. The “N” appended to a
signal name denotes the complementary signal of a differential pair.
A transaction is a collection of packets needed to complete a memory access. A packet is a set of bit windows on the signals of a bus.
There are two buses that carry packets: the RQ bus and DQ bus. Each packet on the RQ bus uses a set of 2 bit-windows on each signal,
while the DQ bus uses a set of 16 bit-windows on each signal.
In the write transaction shown in Figure 1, a request packet (on the RQ bus) at clock edge T
0
contains an activate (ACT) command. This
causes row Ra of bank Ba in the memory component to be loaded into the sense amp array for the bank. A second request packet at
clock edge T
1
contains a write (WR) command. This causes the data packet D(a1) at edge T
4
to be written to column Ca1 of the sense
amp array for bank Ba. A third request packet at clock edge T
3
contains another write (WR) command. This causes the data packet
D(a2) at edge T
6
to also be written to column Ca2. A final request packet at clock edge T
13
contains a precharge (PRE) command.
The spacings between the request packets are constrained by the following timing parameters in the diagram: t
RCD-W
, t
CC
, and t
WRP
. In
addition, the spacing between the request packets and data packets is constrained by the t
CWD
parameter. The spacing of the CFM/
CFMN clock edges is constrained by t
CYCLE
.

Read Transaction
The read transaction shows a request packet at clock edge T
0
containing an ACT command. This causes row Ra of bank Ba of the mem-
ory component to load into the sense amp array for the bank. A second request packet at clock edge T
5
contains a read (RD) command.
This causes the data packet Q(a1) at edge T
11
to be read from column Ca1 of the sense amp array for bank Ba. A third request packet
at clock edge T
7
contains another RD command. This causes the data packet Q(a2) at edge T
13
to also be read from column Ca2. A final
request packet at clock edge T
10
contains a PRE command.
The spacings between the request packets are constrained by the following timing parameters in the diagram: t
RCD-R
, t
CC
, and t
RDP
. In
addition, the spacing between the request and data packets are constrained by the t
CAC
parameter.
* Any system or application incorporating random access memory products should be properly designed, tested and qualified to ensure
proper use or access of such memory products. Disproportionate, excessive and/or repeated access to a particular address or
addresses may result in reduction of product life.
