DDR Memory Controller
The auto-refresh commands are staggered across the four possible banks to reduce the system’s
instantaneous power requirements. Three sets of auto refresh commands are issued on consecutive cycles
when the memory is fully populated with two DIMMs. The initial PRECHARGE-ALL commands are also
staggered in three groups for convenience. It is important to note that when entering self-refresh mode,
only one refresh command is issued simultaneously to all physical banks. For this entire refresh sequence,
no cycle optimization occurs for the usual case where fewer than four banks are installed. After the refresh
sequence completes, any pending memory request is initiated after an inactive period specified by
TIMING_CFG_1 [REFREC] and TIMING_CFG_3[EXT_REFREC]. In addition, posted refreshes are
supported to allow the refresh interval to be set to a larger value.
8.5.8.1
Refresh timing for the DDR SDRAM is controlled by the programmable timing parameter
TIMING_CFG_1 [REFREC], which specifies the number of memory bus clock cycles from the refresh
command until a logical bank activate command is allowed. The DDR memory controller implements
bank staggering for refreshes, as shown in
example).
System software is responsible for optimal configuration of TIMING_CFG_1 [REFREC] and
TIMING_CFG_3[EXT_REFREC] at reset. Configuration must be completed before DDR SDRAM
accesses are attempted.
8.5.8.2
In full-on mode, the DDR memory controller supplies the normal auto refresh to SDRAM. In sleep mode,
the DDR memory controller can be configured to take advantage of self-refreshing SDRAMs or to provide
no refresh support. Self-refresh support is enabled with the SREN memory control parameter.
