Revision 1.5 (March 16, 2005)
• Corrected the spec revision history from 1.1 ~ 1.4 as below.
Revision 1.4 (March 10, 2005)
• Added a tCK(min) value for -GC33@CL=3
Revision 1.3 (March 04, 2005)
• Removed K4D553235F-GC22 from the datasheet
Revision 1.2 (February 03, 2005)
• Removed -GJ from the spec which is no longer valid.
• Added a couple of note below AC timing table.
Revision 1.1 (December 14, 2004)
• Removed K4D553235F-GC20 from the specification.
• Dualized the 400MHz part’s part number by its operating voltage. Newly added -GJ25 operating voltage is equal to 2.0V(typical) which is in mass pro-
duction now. The 400MHz part with VDD & VDDQ= 1.8V(typical) which represented as -GC25 will be available by the 2nd quarter of ’05

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FOR 2M x 32Bit x 4 Bank DDR SDRAM
The K4D553235F is 268,435,456 bits of hyper synchronous data rate Dynamic RAM organized as 4 x 2,097,152 words by
32 bits, fabricated with SAMSUNG
’
s high performance CMOS technology. Synchronous features with Data Strobe allow
extremely high performance up to 3.6GB/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.

Type
256M GDDR SDRAM
Function
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.
CS enables the command decoder when low and disabled the com-
mand 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 column 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.
