GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MT6LDT472A (X) and MT12LDT872A (X) are ran-
domly accessed 32MB and 64MB memories organized in a
x72 configuration. They are specially processed to operate
from 3V to 3.6V for low-voltage memory systems.
During READ or WRITE cycles, each bit is uniquely
addressed through the address bits. Two copies of address
0 (A0 and B0) are defined to allow maximum performance
for four-byte applications which interleave between two
four-byte banks. A0 is common to the DRAMs used for
DQ0-DQ35, while B0 is common to the DRAMs used for
DQ36-DQ71. RAS# is used to latch the first 12 bits and CAS#
the latter 10 bits.
READ and WRITE cycles are selected with the WE#
input. A logic HIGH on WE# dictates read mode, while a
logic LOW on WE# dictates write mode. During a WRITE
cycle, data-in (D) is latched by the falling edge of WE# or
CAS#, whichever occurs last. An EARLY WRITE occurs
when WE# is taken LOW prior to CAS# falling. A LATE
WRITE or READ-MODIFY-WRITE occurs when WE# falls
after CAS# is taken LOW. During EARLY WRITE cycles,
the data-outputs (Q) will remain High-Z regardless of the
state of OE#. During LATE WRITE or READ-MODIFY-
WRITE cycles, OE# must be taken HIGH to disable the data-
outputs prior to applying input data. If a LATE WRITE or
READ-MODIFY-WRITE is attempted while keeping OE#
LOW, no WRITE will occur, and the data-outputs will drive
read data from the accessed location.
for CAS# precharge time (
t
CP) to occur without the output
data going invalid. This elimination of CAS# output control
provides for pipelined READs.
FAST-PAGE-MODE modules have traditionally turned
the output buffers off (High-Z) with the rising edge of
CAS#. EDO-PAGE-MODE DRAMs operate like FAST-
PAGE-MODE DRAMs, except data will remain valid or
become valid after CAS# goes HIGH during READs, pro-
vided RAS# and OE# are held LOW. If OE# is pulsed while
RAS# and CAS# are LOW, data will toggle from valid data
to High-Z and back to the same valid data. If OE# is toggled
or pulsed after CAS# goes HIGH while RAS# remains
LOW, data will transition to and remain High-Z.
During an application, if the DQ outputs are wire OR’d,
OE# must be used to disable idle banks of DRAMs. Alterna-
tively, pulsing WE# to the idle banks during CAS# HIGH
time will also tristate the outputs. Independent of OE#
control, the outputs will disable after
t
OFF, which is refer-
enced from the rising edge of RAS# or CAS#, whichever
occurs last. (Refer to the 4 Meg x 16 [MT4LC4M16R6]
DRAM data sheet for additional information on EDO
functionality.)
REFRESH
Returning RAS# and CAS# HIGH terminates a memory
cycle and decreases chip current to a reduced standby level.
Also, the chip is preconditioned for the next cycle during
the RAS# HIGH time. Correct memory cell data is pre-
served by maintaining power and executing any RAS#
cycle (READ, WRITE) or RAS# REFRESH cycle (RAS#-
ONLY, CBR or HIDDEN) so that all combinations of RAS#
addresses (A0-A10/A11) are executed at least every
t
REF,
regardless of sequence. The CBR REFRESH cycle will in-
voke the internal refresh counter for automatic RAS#
addressing.
SERIAL PRESENCE-DETECT OPERATION
This module family incorporates serial presence-detect
(SPD). The SPD function is implemented using a 2,048-bit
EEPROM. This nonvolatile storage device contains 256
bytes. The first 128 bytes can be programmed by Micron to
identify the module type and various DRAM organizations
and timing parameters. The remaining 128 bytes of storage
are available for use by the customer. System READ/
WRITE operations between the master (system logic) and
the slave EEPROM device (DIMM) occur via a standard IIC
bus using the DIMM’s SCL (clock) and SDA (data) signals,
together with SA(2:0), which provide 8 unique DIMM/
EEPROM addresses.
EDO PAGE MODE
EDO PAGE MODE is an accelerated FAST-PAGE-MODE
cycle. The primary advantage of EDO is the availability of
data-out even after CAS# goes back HIGH. EDO provides

SPD CLOCK AND DATA CONVENTIONS
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL
LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are reserved
for indicating start and stop conditions (Figures 1 and 2).
SPD START CONDITION
All commands are preceded by the start condition, which
is a HIGH-to-LOW transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH.
The SPD device continuously monitors the SDA and SCL
lines for the start condition and will not respond to any
command until this condition has been met.
SPD STOP CONDITION
All communications are terminated by a stop condition,
which is a LOW-to-HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The stop condition is also used to place the SPD
device into standby power mode.
SPD ACKNOWLEDGE
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfers. The transmitting device, either
master or slave, will release the bus after transmitting eight
bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the receiver will pull the
SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received the eight bits
of data (Figure 3).
The SPD device will always respond with an acknowl-
edge after recognition of a start condition and its slave
address. If both the device and a write operation have been
selected, the SPD device will respond with an acknowledge
after the receipt of each subsequent eight-bit word. In the
read mode the SPD device will transmit eight bits of data,
release the SDA line and monitor the line for an acknowl-
edge. If an acknowledge is detected and no stop condition
is generated by the master, the slave will continue to trans-
mit data. If an acknowledge is not detected, the slave will
terminate further data transmissions and await the stop
condition to return to standby power mode.
